COnvIcts Knock Guard In Head and
Escape

Lee Howard who was tried here during the
June term OF court for shooting Mr.. VIM
Gilbert and sentenced to the gang for 10 ears,
aud Marshall Smith who was sentenced three
years ago Tor assault on Mr.. Geo. Milford and
another convict, assaulted the guard near
Prices mill. Th guard vas knocked Into
lnsensibility with rock and his rifle taken.
The three have escaped. Sheriff Lyon I'M
mediately set out for the camp and has be.
gun the search. The people are very much
wrought up over the affair and many have
Joined In the hunt for the rascals,
1t Is hoped that the Sheriff will apprehend
them before they get out Of the county.
This recalls the assault on Mr.. Robert Mo
Comb some years ago. The officials cannot
be too strict with this class Of criminals.
They should rememb ber that their lives are at
stake and should see TO II that every precau-
tion Ia taken to prevent assault and escape.
These escapes are becoming too frequent and
the criminality ofthe convict Is only intensi.
fed by his making an escape.
The community is not safe with such
scoupdrels as these at large. They are ten
fold more daring and dangerous when they
have been placed on the gang and have es'
capped, than they are before they are con vict'
ed.
They are too much trouble to catch. When
they are once caught they should not be al
lowed to get away.

for sale a very fine tract Of $4,000 acres
Of rich farm land in a desirable To-
cality in southwest Texas that can be
bought for SIS per acre by taking the
entire tract; the price Of this land in
lO00-acre tracts is S15 an acre, and in
small tracts it would cost $50 to $50
per acre. Do you see the point? II
you bought a small tract Of the above
land alone you would have to pay al
least $50 per acre; the land is worth
ii. too. but by buying with your neigh

WOULD BUILD
4 TOWN HALL
Tolleston, Since It's Incor-
poration, Aspires to
Public Buildings.
Exc VILLAGE BASTILE
Meeting This Afternoon to Discuss
Ways and Means Of Realizing
New Ambition.

Now that Tolelston is Incorporated
and has taken on citihed appearance
Il is turning it's eyes toward those
things that to every town and city is
more or less a necessity. At the pres
ent time jail and a town hall seem
10 be the most urgent necessity for
the growing village. Fred Harms, the
marshall, has been using all the in
fluence he could summon in order to
back UP the agitation that has been on
foot for the Jail. The dire need of a
Jail must however. not be construed
70 mean that the Tolleston people are
of such type that the Jail is necessary
for them. 1t is Gary's influence that
is moulding Tolleston. 1t was Gary
with its invasive spirit that prompted
Tolleston 20 incorporate and thus keep
what little territory there is left and
Fred Harms is explaining that it is
Gary invaders that come over nightly
and get drunk who make it necessary
for Tolleston to have a jail in which
to lock up the unwelcome visitors.
Since the Incorporation, the town
board had been meeting in the school
mouse and town board meetings being
absolutely new within the corporation.
nearly every voter turned out to attend
the meeting. Some doinng this to see
now these meetings are really con-
Quoted some to learn the parliamentary
rules and others to see If that specter
doodle" was there.
The presence Of so many people,
many of whom had walked over the
muddy country roads left a good deal
of dirt on the floor and the result was
that the janitor of the school defed
the trustees to bring in any more dirt
Being crowder for quarters anyhow
they decided to build a regular town
hall and a meeting was held this after
noon at o'clock at which ways and
means for both a jail and city hall
were discussed.
