BARTON is CAUGHT
IN BIRMINGHAM

George Barton, the yeggman who re-
cefitIv escaped from the Milledgeville
state prison farm. has at last been re-
captured According TO telegram re-
ceived by Inspector George NJ. Sutton. he
was taken is charge by the authorities IN
Birmingham Monday night and VIII Dc
returned TO AIiIIedgeville soon.
'@The cleverest OF clever crooks, is the
way Inspector Sutton speaks Of Barton

spect Barton on account OF his shrewd-
ness, though I am not surprised that he
was captured He was getting entirely
too bold"
George Barton first came into prom
lnence here by blowing the safe i'm the
Bank OF Sharon. Ga. He was captured
shortly afterwards and sent TO the Full

here he. in company with John Harper,
the Convicted murderer. made their es-
cape from the jail Harper was caught
some time later in Tennessee, and Bar

OF work ever accomplished by criminal
After being returned TO the tower Bar
ton was unable 10 escape and was taken
to Sharon for trial and sentenced TO IS
years in the penitentiary. He was taken
to the state prison farm eight months
ago to serve his term After being at
tha farm six months he made his escape
By digging under three walls. Two other
prisoners were with Barton when he left
the farm

Implicated In all the large postoffice rob
berries that have been committed in Geor-
GA. Florida and Alabama. Whether ne
was really in them or was implicated by
those who were caught just because he Is

The first that was heard OF Barton at
ter he escaped the last time was in the
confession Of John Sampson. who was ar
rested in Jacksonville while in the act Of
blowing a safe Sampson, who is thought
to be none other than Andrew Ford, who
escaped from the prison farm in company
with Barton. admitted blowing the safes

stated that Barton was with him, Ford
IS now under arrest in Jacksonville.
Several are OF the opinion that Barton
has been in Atlanta since his last escape,
though Chief Jennings thinks otherwise.
IT Is not believed that he would try TO
operate with such a bunch OF amateurs
as was recently caught here.
An officer viii be sent to Birmingham

Rheumatic
Pains

Miles Anti-Pain Pills is the only
remedy that relieves her"
MRS. @. DAVENPORT,
Roycefeld, n. ].
The pains of rheumatism are
almost invariably relieved with
DIR. Miles Anti-Pain Pills. They
also overcome that nervous irri-
tation which prevents sleep be-
cause they soothe the nerves. To
chronic suffers they are invalu-
able. When taken as directed,
they relieve the distress and
save the weakening influence of
pain, which so frequently pros
trates. Many sufferers use them
whenever occasion requires with
the greatest satisfaction, why
not you? They do not derange
the stomach nor create a habit.
Why not try them? Get pack
age from your druggist. Take it
according to directions, and if
It does not benefit he will return
your money.
