IzOQSSs
Another attack was recently made
on the keeper of the County JAIL this
time upon Jailor Hodge, who has just

It is the cusom at the Jail to place
the meals for the prisoners in the cor
Idor between the two rows Of cells,
then open the cell doors ac3 allow
fhe prisoners to get their meals and
take them back to their cells to eat.
Jailer Hodge followed this plan, but
;tead of returning to their cells
4fter receiving their breakfast, two
negro prisoners hid behind blankets
purposeIy hung on the bars of the
cage, and when the jailer returned
for their dishes, they grabbed him
unexpectedly, held him so that he
could not use his pistol and were pre-
paring to escape. George Spivens,
who is allowed the privileges Of the
jail pending his appeal to the su-
preme court, heard the commotion,
and rushed to the assistance Of the
5aiier. spivens, who is powerful
man, grabbed one Of the negroes,
threw him down, and the other was
soon properly managed by Jailer
Hodge. The two mer were placed in
their cells again. and hereafter will
