PURSUING ESCAPED coNvlcrs.
Posses of Armed Men With Trained
Bloodhounds.

Houston, Tex, March 29.-All day
and night armed men with trained
bloodhounds have been searching for
the twenty eight negro conyicts who
made their escape Sunday night. So
far three of them have been caught
and there are now eleven of the
bunch somewhere in or about HouS-
ton Every road leading into the city
has been guarded closely. A farmer
picked up one OF them who was con-
cealed In the bushes. A justice oil
the peace got two more off freight
train and the captured men reported
that there were eleven others on the
train when IL reached the junction
where 1t switched into the Houston
belt line. Reports from the bottoms
indicate that none of the convicts
went that way, as the dogs have
failed to strike a trail. but one posse
with bloodhounds started few OF the
conyicts toward Richmond. The
chase by the guards from the peniten-
tiary has been a persistent one, but
there Is SO much water in the small
streams that the bloodhounds have
often been at fault and have done
little real good.
