JAIL DELIVERY. :
The Two Black Birds Fly
Away During the Cover of
Night From Sheriff
Breland's Cozy Nest,
Hike to Parts
Unknown.

Tuesday morning the town woke
to hear the old cry of Jail Wall
Punched Out, and Prisoners Gone
Two negro murderers who were con-
tined there awaiting trial at she COM
ing Term of Court, had during the
night managed someway to ret out
of their cell; then all was easy, as it
doesn t require but about ten min
utes work with most any kind of an
improviscd implement to pick an
opening through the brick wall large
enough to admit of "a man squeezing
out through. The supposition is that
some jealous helper from the outside
scaled the Board fence during the
quiet hours of the night and tossed
the inmates keys to unlock the doors
to their CONVINCING bars. A strenu
Gus effort has been made by the Shcr
i'll to capture the fugitives, but with
out success The clue which he has
to the Outside Accessories to the
break is being quietly followed up,
and soon we may hear of some arrests
from its developments. An example
should be made of such culprits that
would strike terror into the hearts of
any future contemplators of such u
grave breach of the law
That something is radically wrong
with the present method of retain
ing prisoners here is now too plainly
indicated to admit of further dilly
dallying. The theory that the fault
may lie in the Jailors is also brush
ed aside by the different escapes that
have occurred under the several keep
ers. The Jail construction and dis
cipline must of itself be'wherein lies
the trouble. Perhaps the Grand
Jury setting al the next Term of the
Court will make special study and
examination of the Jail House and be
able to make some suggestions to our
County Board, which when acted
upon. may bring about more depend
able confinement for prisoners. We
admit that the subject is one which
we haven't studied sufficiently to
offer any plans for improvement.
