sEARCY JAIL DELIVERY
Four Prisoners Escape From White County Jail at Searcy Thursday
 Night Posses in Pursuit.

Searcy, Jan. 9.-Four prisoners es- capped from the county jail of White county at this place last night and are still at large. Posses are securing the country, but as yet no trace of the fu- gitives has been discovered. The crimes of the escaped prisoners were penal offenses. There were four other prisoners in jail who refused to leave, though one was charged with criminal assault, and the charges against the remainder were more serious than those against the escaped prisoners.
 The escape was discovered this morning about 6 o'clock by Deputy Sheriff Walter, when he started to give the eight prisoners their break fast. He found the bolts of the door of the steel cell filed and broken and but half the number of prisoners he had left there the afternoon before at 5 o'clock. The room in which the prisoners were confined was in the second story and tell-tale hole in the brick wall, foot and half thick, showed the means of escape. A string of prison blankets, tied end on end, had been the means of reaching the ground, thirty feet or more from the hole. The other prisoners were walk ing around the runabout, the space between the steel cage and the wall, waiting for some one to come and lock them in their cells again, though free- dom was but a few feet away, with no obstacle before them. They informed the deputy that one of the escaped prisoners had kept file in his sock for six weeks, and gradually worked through the bolts until last night little more than push was needed to give them entrance to the runabout. They soon removed enough bricks from the side wall for mans body to pass through.

ROGERS WILL BE TRIED.
Jonesooro Officers win Take Him Back to Scene of Frisco Robbery For Trial Seems to Have an
 Unsavory Record.

That George Rogers, one of the al legged train robbers captured by the Memphis police last Tuesday afternoon on Main street, will be forced to stand trial upon the charge of being impli7 cated in the hold-up of the Frisco passenger train near Bonneville, Ark. on May last year, is now practically assured. The police are thoroughly convinced that he was one of the rob- bers.
 Parties were expected in Memphis Saturday from Jonesboro who believe that they will be able to identify Rogers as one of the robbers. It is positively known that the robbers spent several days in Jonesboro prior to the time of the hold-up.
 While practically nothing was known of Rogers when he was arrested by the police, and it was even hinted that he was novice at the business, cer- tain developments have been brought to light since that time which have put a different phase on Rogers identity.
 Rogers and Clark, according to the police, came South after career in the East. Clark was known as ssButch.'' He was at one time news boy on train and from that honorable position he took post graduate course in the art of train robbery.
 The police received information about Rogers which they refused to give out. However, it was intimated that he has operated in the South for nearly two years, and that he had fig ured in both the Frisco and the Cotton Belt train robberies, which occurred within few months of each other.

Mons SHORTCOMINGS.

A current monthly puts the blame OF
mems faults on women. It says:
Women make society; they are ac-
countable largely for the faults of the
male portion Of It, at least for the
growth and extent Of fault. II men
fall short It Is because women have
not demanded higher standards. And
IL the.woman who works Ii not treated
with the same courtesy as she whose
delicately gloved hand holds her own
bank book, 1t, is the fault ss0f that same
dainty hand. which Is not held out in
kind conrad eship to one that 4wields
pencil or scissors. Men get their cue
from iron Woman's treatment OF women.
But men are rarely unkind; theirs is
rather the absence Of kindness; and OF
the two. the latter were preferable.

SCATTERED WITH BRAINS
AND BLOOD.

Buffalo, N. Y, March 2. - Edwin
l.. Burdick, president of the E. L.
Burdick & Co. and of the Buffalo En-
velope company; was killed early yes
terday at his home or Ashland ave-
nue. in one Of the finest residence Sec
lions Of the city. The theory at first
advanced that the crime was the work
OF burglar was abandoned as the po-
lice probed deeper into the case, and
while they claim to have several i'm
portant clews, no arrest has been
made.
Burdicks body, clad in an under
shirt, was found lying on couch in a
small room used by Mr.. Burdick as a
smoking room. The body was COW
cred with rug and number of sofa
pillows. The couch was saturated
the little den were despatched with
brains and blood. The head had been
crushed with some
Blunt instrument.
On the table in the smoking room
the detectives found bottle partly
filled with whisky and the remains of
a light lunch. Members of the family
declare that Mr.. Burdick never par
took of the food of which the lunch
was composed and never drank liquor
while eating. In this connection Chief
Cusack gave out the following state
ment:
From what Investigations l have
made would conclude that NJ. Bur-
dick was called downstairs by ring
or knock at the door after he was
ready for bed, for he was clad only in
his Undertaking. He evidently adj
mitted some one he knew we'll and
took the visitor into the den for a
talk, and to partake of the luncheon
found there. There are some
Signs Of Struggle.
The fact that two of the fingers of Mr.
Burdick's left hand were broken i'll
dicates that he put up his hand to
ward off blow which he saw coming.
The force with which the blows that
killed Mr.. Burdick were struck seems
to preclude the possibility that a wo-
man delivered them"
Mrs. Burdick, the murdered mans
wife, left home two months ago with
the intention, it is said, of not return
ing. On Dec. proceedings for d.
vorce were filed in the county clerks
Office by Mi. Burdicll. 1t is under
stood that Mrs. Burdick went to At
lantic City. What connection Big
dicks domestic trouble may have had
with the crime the police do not pre-
sumo to say

his place. The Democrats had de-
cided at their caucus yesterday morn
ing that if this case was called up
they would prosecute fili9uster from
now until March 4. regardless of con-
sequences to legislation, and they be-
gan the fight as soon as the gavel fell
at noon. They attempted to block q
vote on the election case by leaving
the hall, but enough absentees were
finally brought in to make up the
necessary quorum. The closing chap
ter was dramatic. Mr.. Dalzell of Penn

fused to recognize demand for re-
vision and Mr.. Richardson. the mi
