JAIL DELIVERY.
Two Burglars and a WhiSkey Ped
) der Saw Our of Jail and
Make their Escape.
THE JAILER WAS ABSENT FROM HOME.

Wednesday about midnight or early
Thursday morning, Charley bikes and
Ottie Price, two burglars, and Jas.
Cross, whisky peddler, made their
escape from the Adair county jail.
bikes and Price are the parties who
recently robbed Green Reynolds store
at Ozark, and who were caught at Cane
Valley and lodged in Jail. They are
evidently old offenders, and it is said
that before coming to Adair county
they made their escape from the Som
erset Jail, and that in Pulaski county
there are seven conuts against one of
the parties.
Their escape from this Jail was made
by saving the heads off the bolts that
held the stick iron slide which fastened
the cell door. When they reached the
hall way it was easy for them to make
hole through the brick wall and es-
cape. 1t is generally believed that they
had the saws concealed on their persons
when they were placed in Jail. Right
here we will make suggestion for fu-
ture adoption: When professional
thieves are caught, before locking them
In cells, have them change clothing
from head to foot. Men who can make
their escape from steel cages, know
how to conceal their tools.
Jas. Cross, the whisky vendor, lives
In Clinton county and was serving out
sentence and fine.
Mr.. Tarter, the Jailer, was not at
home when the parties made their es-
cape, having gone to his farm, ten
miles from town, the evening before.
Blood hounds were ordered from Lin
coin county, but the owner of the dogs
reported that they were not in condi-
ton to trail and he could not come.
Two men it is reported, took the
stage at Coburg about o'clock in the
morning after the delivery n d it
is supposed they were the two burglars.
If that is fact, that is the last clue of
them.
Cross, it is said, passed the place, in
the lower edge of the county, where his
arrest was made, the next day at II
o'clock. 1t is thought he was making
for his home, in Clinton county.

The Railroad Meeting.

The railroad meeting held in the
Courthouse last Saturday afternoon
was fairly well attended and evidence
of interest in the proposition was very
pronunced. Several letters were read
from the outside party interested in the
investigation of this section and the
proposed line from Columbia to Green's
burg. The money for the preliminary
survey was secured by contribution
through the efforts of the committee,
composed of James Garrett, L. B.
Hurt, and j. H. Young. Gov. j. R.
Hindman was authorized to inform the
company interested in this movement
to send representative ;4G the earliest
day possible to look over the route and
make thorough investigation.
Within short time this step will be
taken and then some definite PROPOSE
ton may be expected. This being the
first meeting, the initiatory step, moth
ing more than the above was attempted.
II is not out of order to say that at no
time in the history of Columbia haYe
the people more generally realized the
Importance of united effort for better
transportation facilities, and we be-
lieve that a hearty response will be
forth coming from nearly every citizen
in this section when a fair proposition
is made by the company proposing to
build. That stock in the road would
Yield profitable returns is scarcely
doubted by any one, that a rapid ad-
vance in the price of real estate would
follow and new and profitable avenues
in business open up is not questioned.
The conveniences are also worth con-
sidering and the people all seem to be
in the proper frame of mind to want all
the above. If the people of Greens
burg want to be profitably connected
with this section we believe the time
has come for action and we trust a
hearty response will be forth coming.
At any rate Columbia proposes to make
the best of the situation. We want
rapid transit to the L. & N. Railroad
and we mean to direct our energies to
that end
