SIX PRISONERS
ESCAPE JAIL.
BriStOl'S Jail Not Strong Enough To
Hold The Two Bad Hen IlCaFCSr-
atsd There Saturday.

Bristol, Tenn, Nov. 23.-The capture
here Saturday night of two of the most
noted crooks in the country in response
to telegram from the chief of police
of Roanoke, Va, requesting the officers
to look out for two men who were want
ed there for forgery, resulted in Jail
delivery last night, in which the two
men and four others made their escape.
The crooks, who were arrested In the
cafe of Hotel Tip Top, while they were
at supper, gave their names as Charles
and Harry Forbes, aged 20 and %, re-
spectively. Both were well dressed,
each wearing a gray sweater and der
by hat, while one wore black square
cut coat and the other checked coat of
the same pattern. Both were smooth
shayen, and neither appeared to be
more than 25 years old.
In searching the two men, Officer
Stoffel took from their pockets skele-
ton keys, burglars tools, blackjacks,
etc. The search was evidently not
very complete, for after the prisoners
had been lodged in jail they were found
to be in possession of q 44-calibre pistol
and an immense roll of currency, aside
from $500 in counterfeit currency and
81 in United States money taken off
them. By the use of wire, they pulled
fire poker into their cell and with this
pulled loose heavy steel bar, which
they used with striking effect in prizing
the hinges off the main door, pulling
the rivets through the holes with per-
feet ease, although the Jail is q new one
and of approved pattern for police use,
There were twelve prisoners in the jail
at the time, and the two crooks notified
them all of their intentions to get out,
warning them that if they sounded the
alarm they would be killed. In this way
they completed their work unmolested.
and when they left the four other pris-
oners followed them.
Besides the numerous skeleton keys,
counterfeit money, etc., found on them,
there were also numerous conductors
hat checks, showing that they had beer
using this method of beating their way
from place to place. In one of the
books taken Off them was receipt fol
dues to the Lodge of Eagles in Sail
Lake City. This receipt had been is
sued to H. S. McCame. There wers
also letters and other papers revealing
an interesting story. One of the mer

NEWS ITEMS.
WHAT HAS RECENTLY TRANSFERRED
IN THE COUNTIES OF THIS
SECTION.

The voters of Lee county are to have
an election next Tuesday, December |
the 1st, for the purpose of determining
whether or not that county shall issue
bonds to build pike roads throughout |
the county.
Five prisoners escaped from the |
stockade at Big Stone Gap last week,
and so far have evaded capture Four
OF the five were county prisoners serv-
ing Jail sentences, and had been sent
from Wise to Big Stone Gap to work on
the road between that place and Appa-
lachia.
Hon. l.. P. Summers, of Abingdon,
Va, is an applicant for reappointment
to the position of Collector of Internal
Revenue for the Sixth District of Vir-
ginia. The position is a Presidential
appointment. Mr.. Summers already
has the endorsement of many of the
leaders of his party throughout the
State.
Owing to number Of cases of scarlet
fever In that town, the board of health
of Big Stone Gap has thought it best to
close the public school at that place for
q short time or until the disease is suf-
ficiently stamped out as to cause no
further trouble among the children.
The disease is in very light form, and
no serious cases have been reported up
to this time.
II propose to do all l can to protect
the lumber and coal interests of Virgin
ia in the making of the new tariff sched-
ules, said Congressman Bascom Slemp
to newspaper reporter in Bristol last
week, while in that city en- route to his
home at Big Stone Gap. Mr.. Slemp
said further: ''The lumber and coal in
terests of Virginia are decidedly op-
posed to any reduction in the existing
scale of tariff, and if there is any
change we may put another rail on the
tariff fence"
The town of Abingdon, which has
been reaping rich harvest of revenue
from the dispensary at that place, will
vote on the 2lst of December to decide
whether it will abolish or continue the
business. 1t means a hard contest, for
there are said to be many business men
in Abingdon who are not in sympathy
with the whiskey business who, never
theless, appreciate the great amount of
revenue that has come from this source,
enabling the town to pay off its bonded
indebtedness and to provide substantial
public improvements in a very short
time.
Judge Martin B. Wood, q distinguish
ed citizen of Bristol, died at his home
in that city last week, after an illness
of several months. Judge Wood was a
native of Scott county, Va, and served
six years as clerk of the county court
of that county, following which he was
elected judge of Scott for period of
six years. He served through the Civil
War as a member of the immortal
Stonewall Brigade, and was wounded in
the battle at Sharpsburg, Md. Judge
Wood was personally a very popular
man, and by his death Bristol loses a
a most honorable and upright citizen.

corded the various places they had vis-
tied, including various cities in the
West, as Denver, Salt Lake, Kansas
City, Chicago, Cincinnati, New Orleans,
Meridian and Corinth, Miss.
There is no clue as to where the men
went after they left the jail. but Chief
of Police Keller is confident that if he
could have kept them, it would have
meant fiattering reward, for they
have evidently been carrying on a great
robbing game throughout the country.
