BY BLOODHOUNDS
Trusty at State Prison Tired Of His
Job Of Feeding Hogs And
Decided to Leave.

Guthrie, Okla, Aug. 2S. - At the
state penitentiary last week the util-
ity Of hlood-hounds in helping to cap
ture escaped prisoners was very well
demonstrated. On the prison farm.
a short sentenced convict was made
trusty and had charge of oversee
ing and feeding large number OF
hogs The man had but two months
to serve and very little restraint was
thrown about him. During the long
lonesome afternoon hours o. last Sun
day the prisoner evidently got tired
of his job and decided to leave for
parts unknown. A farmer coming
into McAlester met one Of the uni
formed prison guards and asked him
if it was customary to have the num-
bers of the prisoner upon the prison
ers clothing. The guard answered in
the affirmative and the farmer then
said that he had seen one OF the pris-
oners out in the country and believed
that he was trying to escape. The
guard Immediately telephoned to the
prison and asked if the prisoner bear
ing the number given by the farmer
was in his accustomed place. The
prisoner was not there and the prison
blood-hounds were Immediately plac-
ed upon the trail. They followed the
trail very rapidly for some distance
when they suddenly stopped and for
a moment appeared to be undecided.
Again they went forward at a rapid
pace until they came to. place where
q wagon road crossed the railroad.
Another moment Of indecision follow
ed. when again they caught the trail
rushed off down the railroad and
found the prisoner hiding on the top
of coal she'd awaiting the arrival OF

covered that at the place where the
dogs first hesitated the prisoner had
got into a wagon and rode four miles
to the railroad crossing where the
dogs were for the second time some

captured about eleven miles from the
