DeFuniak Has independent
Line With Long Dis
lance Connections.

An indication of DeFuniak's pro-
gressiveness is found in the fact that
the city has a complete telephone
system, operated by a local independ-
ent company. Connections are made
as far north as the Alabama line,
south to Freeport on Choetawhatchee
bay, east to Mariana, and the line
is now building west to Crestview
and Laurel Hill.
The system is owned and operated
by the DeFuniak Springs Telephone
Company of which S. K. ellis is
president; B. P Morris, vice-presi-
dent, and R. w. Storrs, secretary.
1t was organized in 1905 and it now
has over 200 regular patrons. besides
doing a large long distance toll bust
ness.
1t is only question of a short
time until DeFuniak win have long
distance connection with the big
cities everywhere throughout the
county and when this is accomplished
it will give, all who have business
with them all of the metropolitan adj
vantages in this respect possessed by
anyone anywhere.

Recaptured.


Albany, N. ", Jan. 1e-E i. Russell,
the man who Monday was adiudged by
Justice Traux Of the supreme court Of
New York county to be insane, early
Yesterday escaped from the guards who
were taking him to The Dannamora asy.
lum for the criminal insane. The fact
that he was slightly injured and left
in daze5 condition by his fan from the
train, made it a comparatively easy task
to recapture him.
It was while the train was passing
through Troy that Russell made his
break for liberty He pleaded Illness
and the lack OF fresh aif in the coach.
and was allowed to go out upon the
platform Of the car without an attendant
to watch him. Once outside the car he
slipped bis handouts and leaped from
the train.
His absence was quickly discovered.
That he had not fallen from the car, but
had planned to break for freedom was
shown by the fact that he left the hand
cuffs behind him. The train was quick
" stopped and the guards hurried back
along the track in search of their pris.
oner He was found in the street not
far from the railroad, wandering aim
lessiy, and too dazed by his fall to make
any further attempt to escape.
