BREAK JAIL AT HENDERSON.
Seven Prisoners Make Their Escape, and
Eight Others Are Caught Just
in Time.

Henderson, KY, Oct. 4.-Sev
EN- prisoners escaped from the
Henderson county jail at 6 80
O'Clock last evening by knocking
out an air hole over a CARTE which
had formerly been used for
heating purposes, going into the
boiler-room and making their
way out through the cellar.
Only the fact that Jailer Jen-
nings' little daughter saw some
of the men escaping prevented
eight others from going with
them. The prisoners who made
their escape are all negroes and
are as follows;
Henry Reeder, awaiting trial
for forgery; Henry Terry, SEN
fenced two years for burglary;
Sam Harris, awaiting trial for
malicious cutting; Gillie Relli-
fret, awaiting trial for malic-
ious cutting; Owen Wilson,
awaiting trial for malicious
shooting; Haywood Jackson,
sentenced to three years for
shooting and woundlng with in
tent to kill; Grafton Jackson,
awaiting trial for malicious
shooting.
A number of deputies were
sworn in and are securing the
county for the missing men.
John Bill Yates, colored, who
was under sentence fer twenty
one years for manslaughter, did
not escape, although he was in
the same section with the others
who made their gateway.

STRIKING IRON MOLDER
KILLED AT LOUISVILLE
Shot at Two Strike Breakers in Dark
Fire Returned.

Louisville, KY, Oct. A.
Philip Sullivan, a striking iron
rolder, was shot and killed Sat-
urday night near the plant of the
o. X. Stove & Range Company
by Claude Turner, aged twenty
one years, a strike breaker, of
Nash Vile, Tenn. Turner was
arrested yesterday afternoon
shortly after Sullivan had died.
Constant trouble between the
strikers and strike-breakers has
arisen since the molders' strike
was declared several months
ago, but the shooting Saturday
night was the first serious trou-
BILE. sullivan had been one of
the n ost jealous workers of the
holders Union and did every
thing in his power to keep the
strike breakers from working.
There were no eye.witnesses to
the shooting, as far as can be
learned, except Jack DELANEY,
a strike-breaker, who was with
Turner at the time. They both
tell a story of self defense that
tallies in every detail. Turner
gave the following version of
the shooting.
Il was walking with Jack Del
haney near the plant of the
o. X. Stove & Range Company
on my way to my boarding
house, on Brook street, near
Hill, and it was very dark where
we were walking. We We're
going at pretty good gait,
when suddenly we heard seven
shots ring out in rapid success
sion. The bullets whlzzed close
to our heads, aud DELANEY
broke and ran.
