A report was circulated in this city
morning that Mt. Ayr had been

Mt. Ayr had quite severe electrical

connections of the telephone office was
burned out, but that was all the foun-
dation for the rumor.
The electric light plant had all kinds
of trouble Monday night with crossed
wire, which would not let about half of
the lights burn bright. The electricians
located the trouble Tuesday afternoon
and found that some smart person had

SUCCESSFUL DASH
FOR LIBERTY
Three ConviCts at State Farm

Three long-term negro convicts, en-
ployed at the State prison farm. in
Goochland county, on Monday made a
daring and successful dash for liberty.
after knocking down and overpowering
Guard Ould. whom they struck with a
hoe. Two OF the men were subsequently
recaptured by the other guards, being
tratled by dogs Although they had the
gun and revolver taken from the injured
guard. the prisoners did not make des-
re.ate resistance when run down and
One however, was more successful, and
at last reports from the farm was still
at large. Guard Ould, while painfully. is
not seriously injured.
The men who made the dash for free
dom are Thomas Clark, sentenced in De-
cember last from Newport News to serve
eleven years for burglary; Edward Hair
ston. sentenced In April. 1903. at Roanoke
for eleven years for murder in the second
degree, and John Williams, of Danvllle.
given four years for HOUSEKEEPING and
received a year ago.
Clark assaulted Mr.. Ould. knocking
him down with hoe. and the three then
set upon him. and taking his weapons
made for the woods. The attack was EVIL
Identity premeditated, and was executed
so quickly and quietly that the men were
NOT molested until they had gotten beyond
view. Then the injured guard recovered
sufficiently to give the alarm, and the
officers started in pursuit with dogs.
Within two hours Clark and Hairston
were rounded up and captured with their
stolen weapons. Williams made good his
escape, however. The prisoners will be
tiled and probably given five years adj
d,tional for their attempt, and will have
3theil liberties curtailed hereafter.
