THIRTEEN BROKE JAIL
Randolph County Has a Whole
sale Prison Delivery.
SIX NiURDERERS AMONG THEM

Half a Dozen of the Escapes Have
Been Captured. and Are Again BE
hind the Bars. Obtained the Jai
Keys by Pulling Them in Reach
With Stick.
Wednesday morning Sheriff Hill
received from Sheriff Maddox OF
Randolph county a telephone mes
sage that there had been a big jail
delivery in Cuthbert the night be-
fore, and requesting that he send
some track dogs over to assist in the
hunt for the fleeing Jail birds.
1t was reported that thirteen had
left the Jail, including several muir
derers. After getting out of Jail one
of the prisoners, Tom Doz!er. gave
the alarm.
In its account of the escape the
Cuth bert Leader OF Thursday says:
All of the prisoners on the upper
floor except a weak minded negro
boy named Squire Allison made
their escape through a hole in the
wall made near the window on the
north side of the building. The
descent was made to the ground by
lutCIS VI UIduhtio leu tOSClLCl, OtIC
end being attached to the iron bars.
The hole looks small. but it seems
to have been sufficiently large for a
big negro to crawl through.
Searching parties were soon scOur-
ing the country and dogs were put
on the track of the fugitives.
The prisoners who escaped are all
negroes Their names are Eli Tur-
ner, George Green, Jasper Price,
Joe Daniel, Warren Hardwick, Jim
Williams, George Pace, Alma john
son, Tom Dozier, Ohio Davis, Leroy
MallaTd, Jim Harris, Bull Hudson.
The last six named have been re-
turned to Jail. Bull Hudson was
captured this morning at Shellman.
OF those at large George Green and
Eli Turner are accused of murder,
Jasper Price is charged with several
burglaries, and the others with less
grave Oftenses. Most of these will
probably be landed soon.
At first it was thought that the
combination which locks the cell
doors had fail to work, but state
ments of some of the prisoners and
Investigations have convinced Sheriff |
MattOX that one of the negroes had
secured a stick, and with this had
opened the box at the end of the hall
the cell keys and with
the stick had dragged the keys into
the cell.

A PUBLIC REST ROOM
How a Useful Institution Has
Benefited a Small Town.
APPRECIATED BY THE TRADERS

Merchants Regard Club in Sunny
side, Wash, Started by Women, as
a Coed Business Investment, Not
a MOney-Making Scheme, and Con-
tribute Monthly to Its Expense.
Travellers for commercial houses,
farmers and their families coming
into town to trade and others while
shopping would no doubt often ap-
/ preciate some place where they could
rest and talk over business matters
or arrange deal. To supply this
need an experiment has been tried
and proved successful. 1t is regard
ed as a good business investment,
and what Sunnyside, Wash, small
town of about 1900 in the fertile
Yakima valley, has done can be at
least attempted by other towns.
Yakima valley is settled quite
thickly, and, while there are many
large ranches the majority are small
enthusiastically, forty or eighty
acres-and are tributary to Sunny
there to trade. If it happens to be
windy or dusty the visitors present
a disheveled and almost demoralized
appearance, and would like some
convenient room where they could
retouch their toilet and restore that
harmonious and chic completeness so
dear to both men and women.
The necessity existed, and a few
energetic women saw it and de-
termined to do something, but they
had not penny to start with Any
way, they started The Public Rest
Room club sprang into existence
There are a president, secretary and
treasurer and an executive board.
The president is a hustling, capable
woman. A room in the business pOr-
ton of Sunnyside was rented. The
first month S rent was donated to
offset the expense of putting the
room in order; it was papered and
made as coy as possible. Tables,
stoves, floor coverings, rockers and
other chairs, couch and other fur
n1ture and fiXings were donated or
loaned, many of them not entirely
new. The telephone was also do
mated. Bread, pies and cakes were
freely given for sale and a present
of about fifty potato sacks, which
were sold at cents each. SO Sunny
side had a place where men, women
and children could come in and enjoy
warm fire, rocking chair, papers,
books and magazines. There is no
charge for any of these comforts,
but box for free will offerings
stands on the table.
Men know where to find their
wives when they are through shop
ping. Friends make appointments
to meet each other at the rest room.
The club is not a money making
scheme, as no one gets a cent but
the matrOn. There is also a library
of about 500 books, including the
latest and best. The merchants con-
tribute monthly 25 cents and up
ward, which more than pays the rent,
and any surplus is used to add an
other comfort to the rooms. During
the one year of it's life about 1000
visits were paid to the rest room,
and the merchants look upon it as a
good business investment. The new
quarters have four rOOms-library,
dining room, kitchen and room for
ladies and babies

Alfred Thomas Archimedes Tor
bert, an American general who was
praised by Sheridan as one of the
greatest of his officers, was born 76
years ago today in Georgetown, Del,
He was graduated from West Point
in 1855, and when the civil war broke
out, was commissioned colonel of the
first New Jersey regiment, and short
lily afterward was promoted to cap
tain in the Fifth United States in
fantry.
He own great distinction in the bat
ties of Manassas and Champions Gap,
and in November, 1862, was made a
brigadier-general of volunteers. In
1864 he became chief of cavalry Of
the middle division and under Sheri-
dan had command of three divisions.
His greatest renown was gained when
he took part in routing the enemy at
Winchester and won the battle of
Toms River. In 1865 he was brevet-
ted major-general of the United
States army for %galIantry during the
war. In 1873 he went to Paris as con-
sul-general.
His death was "a tragic one, as he
was drowned when the steamer Vera
Cruz foundered off the coast of Flor
ida on September 80, 1880.

The great Importance Of the Turkieh

Ordinance 243 was placed on its

This refers to regulating the con-

upon which the walks are to be built.
After establishing the grade the city

A petition was presented asking
for an extension of the water mains
rom Burr to Capital street on Third
Avenue east. The water committee
reported favorably on the petition
and the auditor was instructed to ad-
%vertise for bids for doing the work.
The coal bids were opened and the
contract was awarded for furnishing
the city coal for the ensuing year.
For Pochontas mine run the bid of
the Fullerton Lumber Co. was ac-
copied. On the third vein Illinois coal
the bid of Davis & Daniels Co. was ac-
cepted in case they will furnish third
vein Illinois coal, and if not the con-
tract goes to j. Il. Anderson Lumber

Alderman Michels presented the
grader which is easier of operation
than the present one and will not be
so expensive. The grader costs $50
and the auditor was instructed to
purchase the same.
Alderman Michels made a report
on the number of street crossings
that are necessary to be built in the
residence district. These amounted to
80, and are places where citizens have
already built cement walks and the
city has not done its share toward
completing the thoroughfare. Alder
man Reeves presented a motion,
which was adopted, authorizing the
auditor to advertise for bids for as
many crossings as will be needed for
1909.
Alderman Truax presented the con-
dition of the building on the diving
park grounds, and also the absence
of a piece of fence. The ALDERMAN
was instructed to have the building
painted at once and to have the f,nce
rebuilt.
Auditor Ness made a report on The
insurance on the city hall building
as $24,O 900, and the library and con-
tents at $4,000. There is also some
tornado insurance on the structure.
There is also 100000 insurance o.
the boilers at the water works and all
the city hall, and Alderman McDougI
all expressed the opinion that it was
about ten times too much, and at it's
expiration it will very likely be cut
down.
