""HE American has escaped"
was the cry that spread
n through Edelweiss the next
morning.
It brought undisguised relief to the
faces of thousands. There was not one
who upbraided Baron Dangloss for his
astounding negligence. Never before
had a criminal escaped from the tow
or. The only excuse, uttered in Woe
begone tone. was that the prison had
not been constructed or manned for
such clever scoundrels as Yankees
good name for audacity.
The full story of the daring break
for liberty flashed from lip TO lip dur
ing the day, and it was known all over
the water swept city before o
Baron Dangloss himself had gone to
the prisoners cell early in the morning.
mystifed by the continued absence Of
the guard. The door was locked, but
from within came groans and cries.
Alarmed at once. the captain procured
duplicate keys and entered the cell.
There he found the helpless, blood o
cred Ogbot. bound hand and foot and
almost dead from loss of blood. The
clothes of the American were on the
floor, while his own were missing, gone
with the prisoner.
Ogbot as soon as he was able related
his experience OF the night before. 1t
was while making his rounds at mid
night that he heard means from the
cell. Animated by a feeling of pity. he
opened the slab door and asked if he
were i'll. The wretched American was
lying on the bed, apparently suffering.
He said something which the guard
could not understand. but which he
took to be a plea for assistance. Not
suspecting a trick, the kindly guard
unlocked the second door and stepped
to the bedside only to have the sick
man rise suddenly and deal him a
treacherous blow over the head with
the heavy stool he had secreted behind
him. Ogbot knew nothing of what fol
lowed. so effective was the blow. When
he regained consciousness. he was ly-
ing on the bed just as the captain had
found him. The poor fellow. over
whelmed by the enormity of his mis-.
take, begged Dangloss to shoot him al
once. But Dangloss had him conveyed
TO the hospital ward and tenderly cared
for.
Three guards in one Of the Offices
saw a nan whom they supposed to be
Ogbot pass from the prison shortly aft
er IL. and the mortified chief admitted
that some one had gone through his
private apartment. As the prisoner
had taken Ogbot's keys, he expert
enced little difficulty in getting outside
the gates. But. vowed Dangloss storm
lily. he should be recaptured if it re
quired the efforts of all the policemen
in Fdelweiss. The chagrin of the grin
old captain. who had never lost a pris
oneF. was pitiful to behold.
The forenoon was half over before
Harry Anguish heard of his friends
escape. To say that he was paralyzet
would be putting 1t much too mildly

The Re-Union.

The annual reunion of Confed-
crate veterans was held yesterday
at the Big Lake and the occasion
was one Of much pleasure not only
to the old veterans but also to the
entire crowd who came from all
over the county and from adioin-
ing counties to be present. The
grounds furnish an admirable
place for an outdoor meeting and
those in charge of the affair had
made ample provision for seating
the crowd around the speakers
stand. Capt. r.. Thomas pre-
sided and called Oh Rey. Blanton to
open the ceremonies with PRAYER.
Several of the most eloquent
speakers who remain among the
old soldiers were INVITED and ex-
pected but none could be pres
ent except Congressman Spight.
Col. Richards of Columbus, and
COl. E. L. Russll of Mobile could
not be present and sent their re-
grets. Capt. Spight, who is recog-
nized as one of the most gifted
orators of the south Was on hand
and delivered an eloquent and
patriotic address. He was intro
duced by Capt. r. S. Thomas
in his usual felicitous style. A
light rain fell during the delivery
Of MIR. Spight's remarks and the
crowd failed to near much of his
fine speech. AT the noon hour a
most sumptuons dinner was
spread aud everybody partook
heartily of the bounteous supply.
After dinner was over Elk Con-
gresham Allen took the stand aud
delivered a characteristic speech.
He congratulated the old veterans
upon the record they and their
children had made and was proud
or such record. He said that the
south had made rapid and gratify-
ing strides toward material wealth
and greatness Since the war, this
progress being due to the intelli-
gence, energy and thrift Of her own
people. Iu referring to the rep
resentatlon which the south has
had in congress he knew that it
was made up from the bravest,
truest and most loyal of her citi-
zens who were too proud to bend
the knee to any section or peoples
aud he hoped that he would never
live to see the day when Missis-
sippi would send man to con-
gress or the senate who would Of
fer any apology for the past or
present attitude of the southern
people to the general government.
The remarks of MIR. Allen along
this line were heartily applauded.
A letter from Gen. Jake Sharp
was read sending his best wishes
to his old comrades. Gen. Sharp
was prevented from coming by
reason of au attack of sickness
that has confined him to his bed
for some days. A resolution of
sympathy was passed expressing
regrets of the veterans that their
old leader could not be with them.
The occasion was one of much
pleasure to everyone who was
present.
