BREAK FROM JAIL
Lige and Roy Grove Cut
Steel Bars.
AN EASY JOB GETTNG OUT
Bill Duke and Jim Johnson
Too Large to Pull
Through Hole.

Sometime between midnight and
daylight Thursday morning, two not
ed prisoners made their escape from
the Hartford Jail. They were Elijah
Grove, under sentence OF seventeen
years in the penitentiary and hds
son, Roy Grove, under indictment
for the murder OF Emilis Wade. The
former was convicted at the March
term OF the Ohio Circuit Court for
participation IN the CRIME and at the
same time his nephew. Murray, having
plead guilty, was sent TO the House
Of Reform at Lexington. The muir
der was one of the most brutal ever
committed in Ohio county. the three
Groves having gone to the tobacco
field where Mr.. Wade and his wife
were at work, the shots being fired
by Roy Grove without any immediate
provocation on the part Of Wade, who
was unnamed. 1t is practically GER
tain that Roy Grove would have re-
ceived life sentence II his case had
gone to a jury and but for his youth
may have been sentenced to death.
No one knows just how the escape
was made, but the men must have ma
some outside assistance in getting
tools as the work ON the strong steel
bars shows that 1t was done with a
regular steel hack saw and in O very
workman like manner. Two prisoners
viz: Bin Duke, white, and Jim John
son colpred remained in the Jail al
though they could have escaped also,
unless the opening which was very
small in the steel cage was too close
for these men to pull through. Duke
is laying out a sentence for violation
of the prohibition law, while johnson
has a penitentiary sentence staring
MIN in the face for breaking into the
ginsang patch on the farm of Mr.. F..
w. Pirtle one night last week. These
men both claim that they could have
made their escape had they so desired
but It is not thought they could have
pulled their bodies through the hole
made by the Groves as they are both
considerably larger. Duke claims that
most of the cutting on the steel was
done by Jim Hewley about two years
ago, and for some reason was never
completed and had been concealed
ever since. Upon gaining entrace to
the outside corridor the men had com
paratively easy sailing as the rooms
below are unoccupied since the jailer
lives in the new cottage near the
jail built by the County last year.
They drew some nails from a steel
cap nailed on hole In the floor
which had been used for a 1lue years
ago while the Jail was heated by
sotves. They then swung down
through this hole and dropped to the
floor a distance Of twelve feet, less
the length OF their bodies. Duke says
that Roy Grove had hard fall and
thinks that he was art least tempo
rarily injured when he struck the floor
below. However, they at once pro-

For the Public Good.

About three hours each day, says
the Niles (Tex.) Messenger, the edi-
tor of this newspaper sits down on
the cracker box he uses for an editor
ial chair and reads all the newspaper
exchanges that comes to this office,
and In them he finds many things
that make the editor think OF
what a royal army Of good-willed
men are working and battling In their
special fields for the welfare OF our
state and nation, for about seven days
each week.
Some OF them are daily papers,
Sunday and all, but most OF them are
like the Messenger, published but once
q week. We get the daily grist OF
all kinds of events, national and state,
from the dailies almost before 1t is
cold off the press, and which is daily
pap to a newspaper man. and for
which we are thankful every day. but
those weeklies are the Joy Of our life.
1t matters not where the editor is
located, you will always find him OPP
timistic, and fighting for his particu-
lar community, and 1t doesn't matter
whether the patronage justifies it or
not, he will every week be found at
the same old stand, doing battle for
the people among whom he lives and
does business.

 The letter says:
 We have pushed into bafest cen ttre and have picked the polar prize. but the effort was dangerous beyond all conceptions. A special from Quebec to the Her. aid today says Captain Bernier was asked today if he thought either Cook or Peary had reached the pole. The captain answered.
 T would not admit that either has been to the pole before have sum cient proof. Both are very persistent. 9
 The captain did not want to say any more because, as he said, he ex- pected to be witness in the Cook reary controversy.

 The letter opens:
 My Dear Captain: I have to write you the first letter afte9 being sealed behind ice barriers for two years. It was your supplies. so kindly left in charge of MT Wpitney. which aided me greatly in getting to Upernavik. All my other property had been taken by Peary under the guise of a relief station for him.
 Murphy, the man in charge of the station, however. was instructed not to engage in any relief efforts, or to allow Eskimos to cross and search un- til March of the following year, 1909. My large stores of supplies and my station were used for barter with na- tives to satisfy Peary's commercial greed
 Fortunately We were able to work out our problem without relief ef. forts except as you offered have pushed into the boreal center and picked up the polar prize, but the effort was dangerous beyond concep- tion
 The splendid assistance which you have given and the liberality of the Canadian government in sending the ship is a happy contrast to the hind rance and injustice of one of my own countrymen."
 Describing the journey to the pole. Dr. Cook said
 Starting from Annatok on Febru- ary. 19, 1908. we crossed Ellesmere Land, pushed along it's western coast to the polar sea. feeding len Eskimos and 103 dogs enroute on musk oxen and bears.
 From S3 north I started with but two young Eskimos and 26 dogs. pull ing two sleighs and supplies for 80 days. The ice was fine after crossing
