 County.

County.
 Centreville. Nov. 24-(SpeciaD- Five .conYicts under sentence to hard labor for the county for terms rang ing from few months to two years escaped from .the convict yard about this morning.
 These convicts with others were be- ing worked ~ the. county road and were in large portable iron cage and were locked In the cage at night.
 It seems that some one from the outside handed the convicts confined in the cage an iron crowbar with which they broke the lock on the cage and opened the door. Several of the convicts refused to leave the cage and one of them. Henry Thomas. ran to the place where the guard was spend ing the night and notified him of the escape.
 The alarm was given and every ef- fort made to capture the fleeing con- vicfs, but as the night was dark and those chasing. the convicts had no trained dogs they made their escape.
 One of the convicts who escaped has a wife living at Centreville and as soon as 1t was -ascertatned that he had escaped a watchman was placed on guard at the house. Very soon thereafter the fleeing convict ap- preached the house and was captured and landed in jail. The other four are still at large.
 The names of the escapes are Bob Bell. Wiley Clay. Doctor Elliott, Mar tin Sanders and, John Carter all negroes.
 Will whitaker. the negro des- perado, who was captured a few days ago by Deputy Sheriff c. L. Oakley. anu placed in jail here has recovered sufficiently to be carried back to the convict camp of the Red Feather Coal Company.
 It has been ascertained that he com mitted. not less than a half dozen bur glaries during the time he was at liberty.
 An effort is being made by the women of this community to raise sufficient funds for the erection of a monument on the public square in the town of Centreville in memory of the Confederate dead. Misses Mary May berry and Lucille Pratt are leaders of the movement.
