Freak Out of the Mauy County Jail
Monday Night.

Of the Fugitives.

stone out of the inner partition wall,
which enclosed the prisoners. Then
they placed a plank from the hole
across to the window sill OF the outer
wall which gave them a walk-way ia
the window. 1t took but few min
utes to prize loose one of the lion
bars at the outer window. and with
the Jail blankets they impIovlsed a
rope, one end OF which was fastened to
the har and the other thrown out Of
the window, and ON this rope they
descended to the ground. Anderson
says that Sam Sage planned the escape
and was the leader in its execution
and that he. himself, saw what was
going on but was afraid to give any
alarm, believing that Sage would kill
him If he did so. The prisoners IN the
lower part of the Jail did not hear any
unusual sound above; the negroes
evidently worked very quietly.
After the Fugitives.
As soon as the delivery became
known Sheriff Forgey sent posses out
in every direction and telephoned all
over the county giving description
of the fugitives, and also telephoned to
Nashville and Lawrenceburg fer blood
hounds. Both sets of dogs arrived as
quickly as posi- BILE and Monday morning
about A clock were taken to the jail
and put on the trail. 1t was ascertain
ed that the negroes all crossed the bridge
over Duck river and then separated,
some going up and the Others down the
river. One PAIR of dogs went one
way and the other the other, but later
the Nashville dogs lost the trail and
were brought back, and after breakfast
they were started out again down the
river.
The two principal criminals who
escaped, Joe Greasy and Sam Sage,
will make desperate effort to elude
the officers, and it is believed that
neither will be- captured without a
a fight.
Later:-One Caught.
Manuel Hardin, one of the prisoners,
was caught at Ashwood, He is charged
with a misdeamenor only. The other
eight are still unheard FROM Both set
of dogs lost the trail after going several
miles from the city, and were brought
back and later were taken to Summer
town on freight train. Marehal Webb
was telephoned from Summertown that
several negroes were seen sitting on
some cross ties on the rail road near
there Monday morning, and in the party
was one unusually big black negro. The
description given of this negro induced
the officials to believe that he is Sam
Sage, and il so, the others with him are
also fugitives. 1t was decided, therefore,
to send the dogs there and take up the
trail at the point where the negroes
were seen.

Mr.. ]. N. GRAY
Raises Big Cotton Crop and
Makes a Fine Sample.

Mr.. j. NJ. Gray. at his place five
miles out on the Mt. Pleasant pike,
has the biggest cotton crop raised IN
Maury county. He had IN hundred
acres. and his crop Is said to be one OF
the best ever raised IN the county. The
picking has been going on for two or
three weeks and has not been finished
vet. Early every morning wagons go
out from this city with pickers. and
hing them back in the evening. 1t is
thought the crop will average three
quarters OF bale and probably more
to the acre, and will net Mr.. Gray a
good round sum of money.

Totally Destroyed By Fire Monday
Morning at Pulaski, Tennessee.
THE STUDENTS ESCAPED.

improvements to the amount of about
$25, 600 were made to the college. 1t

modious school buildings in the state
OF In the South. Martin College was
an old school and thousands of girls
have been educated within its walls
It was known all over the South as

got out of the building safely and no
one was hurt by the fire.

The Herald Monday received informa-
tion of the destruction of Martin Col
lege at Pulaski by fire. The entire
building with the greater parts of Its
contents was burned to the ground. The
fire originated from a defective flue
and owing to the fact that the
tiremen were unable to get water
on the building the flames could
not be checked and the splendid edifice
was totally destroyed. 1t is SAID that
there was $35, 900 insurance. but this

Mr. Mulligan said that he had done
everything in his power to let this
matter drop anG not make any prose-
cutlon of the misdeeds Of his son, but
that the matter had now gone too
far, and that under no circumstances
would he permit the members of his
family to be dragged into such dis
graceful affair by the actions OF
Chicago detectives or anyone else.
The grand jury Thursday concluded
its investigation and the result is an
nounced in the following special:
Lexington. KY, Oct. 10. The grand
jury reported today that 1t had been
unable to find any evidence to connect
James j. Mulligan with the attempted
poisoning OF the family of Judge James
ii. Mulligan. The jury reported after
long and exhaustive review of the
case, in which all the members of the
Mulligan family had testified. The
grand jury then returned an indictment
on a charge of malicious attempt to
poison" against Lewis Mitchell, the
negro who confessed that he placed
poison In food.

Gatnar1ne KnolIys had heard the
summons of her fate. She now sat
trembling in the carriage.
When finally the vehicle stopped at
the curb of the walk which led to the

street and stopped at little dis

a matter of surprise. The burly turn

meet her. With loud commands, he
drove out of the corridor the crowd OF
prison attendants. He approached

THE ESCAPE.

On certain morning a messenger
rode in hot haste to the prison gate
He bore the livery of Montague
Turnkey after turnkey admitted him.
until finally he stood before the cell OF
John Law and delivered into his hand,
as he had been commanded, the mes
cage that he bore. That afternoon this
same messenger paused at the gate of
the house Of Knollys. Here, too, he
was admitted promptly. He delivered
into the hands of the Lady Catharine
knollys certain message. This was
OF Wednesday. On the following
Friday 1t was decreed that the galiows
thould do it's work. Two more days
and there would be an end of "Jes-
eamy" Law.
That Wednesday night a covered
carriage came to the door of the house
OF knollys. Its driver was muffled in
such fashion that he could hardly have
been known. There stepped from the
house the cloaked figure of a woman
who entered the carriage and herself
pulled shut the door. The vehicle was
coon lost among the darkling streets.

Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Jamestown, N. D., May 1.-THE fight
for the judicial nomination in the fifth
district is spirited one. There are sew
eral active candidates for the nomina ton,
all with their counties behind them,
r. w. S. Blackwell will be La Moure
countys candidate. It is more than a
probability that Attorney McCue will have
the support Of Foster county, while Mr.
Barnes of Valley City is making a can
vass Of the district with Barnes county
instructed for him. Logan county has no
candidate and will undoubtedly support
the candidate favored by the majority OF
the delegations. In Griggs county David
Bartlett is the favorite son.
~ Wells county it was agreed that
States Attorney Hanchett name the dele
cation for judge to the judicial conven-
ton, Schlecter the delegation to the Grand
Forks convention and Postmaster Jack
son the delegates to the Fargo convention
The old legislative ticket was renon1i-
mated. This leaves Wells in favor OF
Han6hett for the judgeship.
The convention in Eddy county was for
the purpose of naming delegates to the
Fargo convention and to the judicial con-
vention at Darlington There was no can
didate for either state office or for judge
from the county itself, the real issue being
for the control of the county organization.
The Matson faction, which was in control
of the county organization. was defeated
at the caucuses by the Maddux-PutnaIn
faction and Judge Glaspell, having ad-
hered to the latter faction, was given the
delegation of eight votes, it being the first
delegation instructed for him. It is CON
coded that E. S. Ellsworth of this city
Is the second choice of the delegation.
The judicial convention will be held on
May Is at Darlington.

GRAND JURY FOR

Have Accepted Money for the Pro-

Charges Are Denied.

Grand Forks, N. D., May 17.-All ar
rangements have been completed for ask
ing for the calling of a grand jury in
Walsh county, and Judge Kneeshaw will
be requested to sign such an order at
once. The grand jury is supposed to be
for the purpose of airing some OF the
charges that have recently been rumored
at Grafton. 1t Is asserted that Sheriff
Bannon and States Attorney Sinkler have
been guilty of accepting money for the
protection of men engaged in the blind
pig business. Two of the men who say
they paid for protection are under bond
to appear for trial at the Pembina term
OF court, and it is these two that are
furnishing the evidence on which it is
expected to secure indictments against the
sheriff and the attorney, both Of whom
deny the charges. -aa Be-.

inmate Of one Of the houses Of the ten

by the three men to gather evidence to
the effect that such places were allowed
to run.
The defendants reported to Mayor

were open and also reported similar facts
