At 4:l0 o'clock Monday afternoon
nine prisoners escaped from the oonn-
tv iail at Dallas. and are at large.
Two Of the prisoners we're white and
seven were colored. One negro. who
was blind. failed TO get away. From
the best information 1t seems that
the negro porter recently employed
failed to bar and lock the doors se-
curely. When the prisoners found that
the doors were insecurely fastened they
made rush past the guard. Mrs. Arm
strong. wife of Sheriff Armstrong. saw
them rushing down the stairs and gave
the alarm. At last account none OF the
| prisoners had been caught.
Harry Short and II. F.. Kimbrougf
were arrested on the yards on th'
Southern Railway in Asheville Sunda.
by Chief of Police Jordan and Patrol
| man Wilson. when the officers made
the arrests they thought they ha'
taken two men-the woman was dress
| ed in a suit of black clothes. her hai
| was cut close and she looked TO be
| boy of Is or 20 years age. Her state
| ment revealed the fact that she was ii
| disguise. and also that she was IN
| same person who had won consideraol
| newspaper notoriety in Charlotte an
| Knoxville. The man paid the fines
both.
