Says the Railroad Herald for
February, "Did you ever stop to
wonder whether it pays to let
section men pump an old hand
car that takes two-mule power,
for several miles, before start
ing work? Will they do as much
work after they get there as tho
there was a little gasoline motor
to do the ''pumping?" They
don't cost very much and it
might save money. 1t is worth
thinking over at any rate"

The following story was told
by Mr.. Inkerman Bailey of Mad
isonville, recently while passing
through Robards on his way to
Evansville: 81 never pa S
through this place without think
ing of most laughable incl
dent that occurred on one of the
night trains some six or eight
years ago. The story was told
to me by a friend, who was one
of the passengers. Arriving at
Richards, the fagman pushed
open the door, hurriedly, stuck
in his head and shouted "All out
for Robards," then slamming
the door shut. The passengers,
all of whom were about half
asleep, understood the announce
ment to be warning to ''Look
out for robbers" and according
ly grabbed for their pocket books
and other valuables, and sought
to hide them under their seats,
and good many of the passen-
gers tried to get under the seats
themselves" Had the flagman
entered about that time he
would have thought for a mo-
ment that everybody had gotten
off at Richards.

DARLINGTON
WRITTEN FOR THE BEE
BY BLUE q. BARD

Darlington is in the lead
She has all town can need
Darlington my Darlington,
AS any one can plainly see
She has the needful energy
And keeps as busy as the "Bee"
Darlington my Darlington,
In her hills lie wealth untold
The very finest veins of coal,
darlington my darlington,
All from slate and sulphur free
Better coal one cannot see
Just as good as 1T can be,
Darlington my darlington.
She is called the poor mans town
And she helps the man that's down,
Darlington my darlington,
Her people wear happy smile
Free from treachery and guile
And she's improving all the while
darlington my darlington.
Her daughters are both kind and fair
Lovely some beyond compare
Darlington my Darlington,
Mothers, wives, jewels rare
Each perform their humble share
And make life's burden less to bear,
In Darlington my Darlington.
When the East begins to glow
Hundreds to their labor go,
Darlington my Darlington,
With happy and contented mind
They are always found in line
Thrifty men as one can find,
Darlington my Darlington.
Some day she'll be the largest town
On old Hopkins county ground,
darlington my Darlington,
Here where we hear the whistles
blow
From the shops and shafts also,
Here is where we make things go,
In Darlington my Darlington.

lives. After they had grown
weary of games refreshments
were served and at reasonably
late hour the merry party came
to an end.

LET Them OUT
White Inmates Of Hopkins Coun
ty Jail Made Their Escape
Fridsy Morning.
THREE OF THE PRISONERS REAR.
RESTED NEAR KELLyS STATION.

ht-S LIZ iNLHN NEItfS SsEssOi"
Some of the prisoners sawed
through the window CT the
Madisonyille Jail between mid
night and day Friday night and
released five white prisoners.
They are jeff Morgan, charged
with the murder of Perd Lutz in
jacksonville a few months ago,
John Hall, charged with having
been an accomplice in the same
murder; Lewis Wilbert, charged
with the murder of Gus McIn-
tosh at Warrington about a year
ago; Lee Abbott, who is alleged
TO be wanted in several different
States on sixty-five charges of
forgery; Otha Armstrong for
housebreaking.
The delivery was made by some
one cutting two window shields
on back window and it is be-
lieved that the work was done
by persons outside. A number
of negro prisoners who were
locked in their cells failed to
escape. Those making their es.
cape were not in their cells.
LATER.
Ohio Armstrong, the boy who
was in the jacksonville Jail
awaiting to be sent to the house
of correction and who escaped
with the other prisoners Thurs
day night, was caught near Kel-
lys station Sunday night by
Sheriff Ashby. The boy says the
escape was made Thursday night
about seven O'Clock instead of
between midnight and day FRI
day morning as was surmised.
He says that Laws, the forger,
and himself first went to Vic
toria mines and from there came
to this place on freight tram.
From here Laws rode blind bag
gage on 81 going north and Arm
strong went to his aunts near
Kellys.
He also says that yellow
negro wearing a long oyercoat
brought the saws to Laws sever
at days before the work of saw
ing out began.
One of the prisoners acted as
lookout while the work was
going on and most of the work
was done by. Morgan. At
ter hole had been sawed in the
back end of the cage large enough
to permit, the boy was put
through and opened the cage
door from the outside and let the
others out. He says Laws tied
the saws to broom handle and
did the saving of the window.
They then quietly made their es-
cape after having given Garth
Thompkins, t h condemned
negro murderer, the tools and
saws. Investigation shows that
Thompkins had been trying to
use the saw.
The place in the back of the
cage where the boy says the saw
ing was done was found and also
the window tied with strings to
prevent detection. No tools were
found on Thompkins and he is
supposed to have passed them to
a confederate Oh the outside.
Since writing the above we
learn that County Attorney
Ruby Laffoon and ex Sheriff
Burt Stanley succeeded in cap
tucing two more Of the escaped
prisoners Tuesday afternoon.
They were John Hall and jeff
Morgan and were caught at the
home of HALLS brother near
Providence. The men were strip
ping tobacco at the time of their
capture. A reward of $3.50 had
been offered for their capture as
