THROUGH HOLE AND
ESCAPES.
Sunny Chimes Of Italy More Alluring
Than the Sitting Atmosphere in the
State Prison-Escaped So Quietly
That None Knew 1t.

"A Jail delivery occurred early Satm
day morning here, but none knew Al
what hour it happened, except the mar
who effected mis- escape. The sheriff
had given the man in charge of the jai
strict orders not to remain off guard al
any time during the night and he obeyed
by staying up all night and making oc
casional rounds of the prison.
However, his vigilance was not suiii
cient to prevent the escape of Charlie.
Alatock, an Italian. AIattock is the
Italian, who was convicted OF breaking
into a railroad freight car here a few
weeks ago and stealing box of chem
icals and medical instruments therefrom
He was seen in The act nnd arrested by
Officer Powell and jailed. An indict
ment and the conviction followed at this

Judge Mason sentenced him Friday
night to one year in the penitentiary,
This no doubt convinced him it would be
much more pleasant TO spend the re.
mainder OF his days in the sunny cimes
Of Italy and the very Thought of his
native land urged him TO get out Of
Jail.
Once before james kirkpatrick sqneez.
ed himself through hole of the wall
of his cell and got away. That hole is
still there, although a steel slab had
been placed at the bottom to make it
smaller.
Virgil Frum, The man of much jail
fame Of late, cut many capers, while he
was in the county bastile and among
them was to tear up this slab to show
his proves as the strong man. No one
knew he had done ii, but that did not
prevent aIattock from lifting it up and
queezing himself through the hole. This
done he climbed TO the transom over the
door and dropped to the ground. After
that it was easy for him 10 bid adien
to the Jail forever.
1t was done 50 quietly that none knew
he had gone, until Floyd Robinson made
a round of the jail at 3 o'clock and miss,
ed him. Not even the several men IN
his cell knew about 1T until that time.

WILL COME UP BEFORE JUDGE
MASON, AT FAIRMoNT, IN THE
MONTH OF MARCH NEXT.
ON THE REPORT OF THE COMMITS
sIoNER AND WILL CONTINUE
IN COURT SOME TIME
Short History of the Controversy Shows
That No one is Being .0usted Of
Home, 1t Being the Policy to Ex-
clude All Homesteads From
the Suit.

The King land case, part OF whica
was heard in circuit court here Friday
by Judge Mason, on an injunction, viii
be further heard in Fairmont in March.
The entire case has been transferred to
him from Cabell county by Judge Doc
little, who became interested in some OF
the land in controversy and could not
on that account continue to hear the
matter.
The case has been in The courts ten
years and was begun when the state be.
gan TO sell the lands in controversy Just
prior tp 1894. These lands are situated
in Mcdowell, Logan, Wyoming and Min.
go counties and Were regarded by the
state as waste lands. The commissioner
Of school lands took them in hand AMI
iaegan Ito sell them. About this time
parties interested with King .tenderei
money to tine state in payment of the
taSes and the suit resulted For time
King and others fought the state oi the
grounds THAT they had tha right 10 re.
deem the lands. Finally the 600 or 700
bpmesteads that were included in the
lands IN controversy were dropped from
IL, the plaintiffs agreeing that these were
free from what rights those suing for
THE land had, and then the matter be.
came confined to unoccupied lands,
which will aggregate 100000 acres or
more.
At this juncture the state ceased 70
fight the King company and proceeded
with them TO recover the lands, or rather
fhe timber and coal OF those who mad
taken possession of them without title,
either from the state or King.
The land in Immediate controversy,
with (which the injunction against the
Ritter Lumber Company is associated.
md which injunction was argued here
Friday on a motion TO dissolve, consists
Of about 5000 acres unoccupied and sit
Eated in Mcdowell county. The Ritter
Lumber Company claims the timber on
this land and Tie injunction is for the
purpose of restraining them from cutting
it.
It is claimed that this land does not
belong TO the Junior claimants but that
the title is both in the state and the
King people. There are several small
homcsteads along the river, but these
have been excluded from the controver-
sy. 1t is further claimed that but one
homestead is involved in the entire mat
ter, the policy having been adopted by
the King side of the controversy not TO
disturb homesbeais and to cut them out
Of the matter, whenever they ran across
such Instances.
The hearing in Fairnont in March will
ye on the commissioners report, but
that Is likely TO be but the beginning
of the case so fur as Judge Mason Is con-
eerucd and 1t may be some time before
he gels through with It.
In the event the suit is won by The
plaintiffs then win follow some sort of
litigation between the King people and
he state, the former claiming the right
redeem the property by paying the
taxes and other expenses incurred by the
state in the matter.
