 most Completed Hole
 Into Outer Yard.

Greenville. June 12.-(Special.) )--By a lucky chance last night, Chief Dep uty Sheriff King Murphy, prevented a jail delivery of two negroes confined in one of the cells. They had torn the pipe connecting the stationary wash stand out and had almost completed a hole Into the outer yard

It is estimated that an- other lhour would have suff1ced for the completion of the hole. One of the negroes is charged with carrying con- ceaaed weapons while the other is there on a charge of burglary.
