casion for a week Of gaity for the
younger social set. James and Miss
Gertrude Carwile were at home to
about 80 of their friends Tuesday ev-

and Portus Williams. A merry time
was had watching the old year out and
welcoming the new. AS the guests
have not yet reached the retrospective
age, the new year was ushered in
amid the usual hilarity incident to
the hopefulness of youth. The early
hours were spent playing hearts"
Miss Irene Elliott won the prize, a
prettily bound volume Of Caryle's.
Portus Williams won the boys
prize, Emerson's Essays.
The parlor floor had been canvas
ed for dancing, and as the closing
hours of the old year rolled around,
this pastime was INDUCED in until
the ~screeching of the whistles an
nounced the midnight hour.
During the evening a dainty lunch
con was served on small tables.

Nothing Further Learned Concerning
Escaped Jail Birds.

From Wednesdays Daily Gazette.
Up to last evening nothing had been
heard at the sheriff's Office concern
ing the two escaped Jail birds, Kilby
and Huffman. A belief exists among
those who know Kilby that his re
capture may prove mere difficult and
doubtful than was at first supposed.
They say that if he succeeds in get
ting into the bad lands and among his
friends in that section it will be high
ly doubtful whether he will ever be
caught again. Once there, they con-
tend, he will be sure of a place of
refuge and will not want for food or
clothing, beside those who would warn
him in cas- of the appearance Of any
body suspected of being an officer
would be in plenty.
1t has developed that the over
~cautiousness of one of the men whom
Sheriff Hubbard dispatched in search
of the fugitives the morning their es-
cape was discovered is probably re-
sponsible for the fact that they were
not retaken that day. 1t appears that
the man arrived at the Buckley ranch
and seeing no one there with whom
he was acquainted said nothing con-
corning the nature of his call and left
without making any inquiry. After
he had gone the deputies called at
the same ranch and learned that at
the time the first man was there the
two men wanted had been at the Enos
phase, only about three miles distant.
Had he made it known that lie vas
looking for them the men at the
Buckley ranch would have told him of
their whereabouts and their capture
would undoubtedly have been assured.
