Guthrie, Okla, Aug. 2s - At the

demonstrated, On the prison farm,
a short sentenced convict was made
trusty and had charge of oversee
ing and feeding a 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 OF last Sun
day the prisoner evidently got tired
of his job and decided to leave for
parts unknown. A farmer coming
into MeAlester met one Of the uni.

the affirmative and the farmer then
said that he had seen one of the pris-

that he was trying to escape. The
guard Immediately teleDhoned to the

found the prisoner hiding on the top

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
