HANRlCK
LIKELY TO
RECOVER

The condition Of Milton Ham
rick. the young man IN the Kessler
hospital with a bullet hole in his
skull and an eye shot out, is prac-
tically unchanged today, although
if anything he is seemingly better
Hospital authorities are of the opin-
ion that -he viii now recover al
though that is a mere guess, as his
condition may change for the worse
at any time within the next thirty
hours
Nora Layman, his paramour, who
is now in the county Jail, still mains
tains very cheerful attitude and IS
positive that he will recover. She
seems to be optimistic of her own
fate even should Hamrick die and
this impresses persons with whom
she has been thrown in contact since
the shooting that the shot was fired
accidentally.

BLOOD HOUNDS
AFTER JONES

Morrison's bloodhounds from
Moundsville are on the trail of
Charley Jones this afternoon from
Fairmont, where Jones escaped from

and got off at Enterprise and cross
ed the river. The hounds were
brought up to Enterprise this after
noon and took up the trail there.
They are now securing the country
for him with large number of peo-
pie in the chase.
Jones was serving time for try
ing to blackmail He was a trusty
and awaited an opportunity when
nobody was in sight of the lower
porch, where he had been allowed
to stay, and quickly removed a sec
ton of the lattice work, forming a
hole large enough to admit his body.
Crawling through this to the jail
yard he removed the fastenings from
the gate in the high board fence and
made his exit to the alley. From
there it is not known what direction
he took, as no one claims to have
seen him leave the jail yard.
Jones lives IL Bingamon creek in
Manningtn district and he has been
in the county jail since May, 1905
He was arrested for blaclmail ann
at the October term of the circuit
