MARKS MAKES ESCAPE.

The negro convict, Albert Marks, but better known as Big Boy,' who made his escape from the guard near Diaz Saturday afternoon has not yet been secured. The last seen of him was late that afternoon when he was making his way southward near the Litchfeld bridge As his father lives near Fordyce, he is probably making his way there.
 J. c. Dice was guarding him and also working on the road near the ,Diaz gin at the corner of the Slayden farm, when Marks while behind a tree broke his lock with sledge and few moments afterward, slipped away through the bushes. This hap pened at 2:35 and as John Dye was in town, it was sometime before the sheriff's blood hound was put on the trail The dog tracked the fugitive almost to Newport. Marks was con- victed of assault and fined $50 and costs, the latter running high, as he laid in jail months before trial.
