.Baii Delivery.

Sunday evening, at about 4
o'clock, those citizens lettering
around the postoffice were thrown
into fever of excitement by the
cries of Emile Elias, the restau-
rant keeper. to the effect that me-
gro prisoners were jumping the
Jail fence.
Jaflor Ike Stsgg, with other dep
uties and citizens were soon i'm the
iaii yard, and found Villneuve
Willis, negro, convicted of petit
larceny, scaling the fence. Stagg
promptly made, him aget off the
perch.n
It was found that three negro
prisoners had already gotten over
the fence, and the officers at once
took up the hunt.
Deputy Stagg overlook Arthur
Fontenot, convicted of larceny and
sentenced to three years in the
penitentiary on the railroad track.
The negro ran into a corn-feld,
but when Mr.. Stagg opened FIRE on
him, jumped into an adjoining rice
field, and endeavored to hide by
lying down In the rice, where he
WAS captured.
Thompson Frank, convicted of
murder, and sentenced for life, and
Donat Houston, charged with
horse-stealing, are still at large.
The absolute Insecurity of the
Jail made it an easy matter for the
prisoners to pry apart the cell bars,
practically butt through the wall
and scale the fence.

Dear Sirs-At a meeting OF Hore
Hook & Ladder Co. No. held on
Tuesday, June l4th, 1g04, The fol-
lowing resolutions were adopted:
Whereas, from experience we
find that the so-ealled Fire Proof
Buildings, constructed Of Gorrnga-
ted Iron are in no means lire proof,
but on the contrary, are more dam
gerous and almost inaccessible to
firenlen, thereby making Il much.
more difficult to control the Are
when occurring In such buildings,
Therefore, be it Resolved, That
Hope Hook & Ladder Co. No. I,
comprising as it does the Fire De-
partment Of this town, do
hereby condemn such buildings,
and that it also enters herewith b its
most strenuous objection to the.
further erection or such bnildings;
Be it further Resolved, That
we earnestly petition the Town.
Council to prohibit, in the future,
the erection of this class Of build
ings in the specified fire limits Of
the town.

that he had not seen Receiver Lyon or
anyone else connected with the case.
he asked what were the latest devel-

Mrs. Chadwick Tried to Raise Money
in Mansfield.

Mansfield. o., Dec. 6.-AIrs. Cassie L.
Chadwick made two or three visits to
Mansfield. called upon Judge BruckeT.
president OF, the Bank of Mansfield and
attempted to negotiate loan of $780,
600 through him. She also called upon
the law firm of Cummings. Mcbride &
Wolf and attempted to retain this firm
TO secure a $4,000 loan for her. She
visited Judge Brucker twice within an
interval of six months between. and on
the second occasion showed him what
purported 10 be a receipt for a 100000
fee in case signed by Virgil p. Kline.
well known Cleveland lawyer. This
receipt was exhibited by the woman
after she had offered TO retain Judge
Bfucker under fee Of $4,000
This story was sent ont by the As
ISOLATED Press and Judge BruckCT is
now IN receipt of a letter from Virgil
p. Kline. stating that he never signed
a receipt for $50, 600 and il the Chad
wick woman showed one it was a
forgery. Judge Brucker. however, re-
iterates he was shown one by the
woman.
The letter from Virgil p. Kline to
Brucker says that he had some legal
husiness with Cassie L Chadwick. but
the fees she paid him was not $50, 900
or anywhere near so large as that. THIS
is the first time the alleged $4,000 re-
ceipts have been branded q forgery and
