THREE MAKE ESCAPE
FROM COUNTY JAIL
Jim Fitch, John Henry, And
George Brown Decide the
Simple Lifeis Too confining
And Leave For Parts I'm
known

Jim Fitch, George brOWn, ana JoiiA
Henry, all colored figured prominently
in sensational Jail delivery which
occurred at the county Jail yesterday
morning between 80 and 2 90 o'cloc1.
TT seems that at $50 O'Clock Jailer
Hutchinson and Assistant Jailer Powell
heard some one walking around in the
iail and upon investigation it proved to
be Lewis Carter. a prisoner, who told
them of the escape, and Immediately
things got busy. Messrs. HuteAeson
and Powell called officers Gochenour
and Sutton to their assistance and
secured the railroad station, yards and
premises in an effort to locate the
escaped negroes. About daylight
Jailer Hutchinson hired Ed. Criddle,
an ex-policeman, unofficially; and to-
gether they left for Waynesboro and
the mountains further east after notl-
flying by telephone and telegraph the
surrounding towns in every direction.
Asst. Jailer Powell went as far
west as Craigsville, but no trace OF
the fugitives could he discover
In the Jail, it is supposed that the
negroes effected their exit from the
cage or cell in which they we're con-
fined on the ground floor, by means OF
rudely fashioned key which one OF
the prisoners, now in Jail. says they
battered out of a shoe bnttoner with
great patience and perseverance, ex'
perimenting little at time, as op
portunity presented itself. He also
says they effectively closed his mouth
by threats of death if he ever told OIL
them.
After getting out of their cell, which
| was comparatively a simple matter
with key, it was easy to trace tn
method by which they gained TIN
open air and freedom. By means o
heavy piece of pipe, dislodged from
the iron railing on the second foo
they wrenched the bars loose at TIN
bottom from their seating in the ston
| sill of the third back window on tina
floor, separated them sufficiently t
permit their bodies to pass between
tied their blankets together for rop
and slid down.
The other prisoners all claim t.
have been asleep and unaware OF tn
proceedings. A mistaken impression
seems to have gotten abroad tina
Arch Brown was one of those who es
CAPPED. This is mistake. Arch con
yersed with a DISPATCH represen
tative after the occurrence yesterda
morning. He is located on the 3r
floor and say he was asleep at tn
time. It is thought that all OF th
esq aped prisoners will be apprehene
ed
This is the first trouble of any kin
which has occurred at the Jail undo
Jailer Hutcheson's administration
covering period of 4 years. The1
has been on hand at that Institute
an average of from So to 80 prisone
continuously and at times as maj
as rs have been accommodated su
q cessfully.
!, In the absence Of the Jailer, Asst
= tant Jailer T. H. Powell gave out tt
. following statement and descriptions
o the fugitives to a Dispatch represent
n tive:

is that the inner cage was open

Something for Headache

Nothing else, aside from money, is SO
universally sought for as a cure LOT
headache. Headache powders are mol
safe and they give only temporary re-
lief in any event. The chocolate-coat,,
ed and capsule-shaped pills called
Sherman's Headache Remedy and sold
by druggists and dealers at 1Oc and Z5c
are recommended as the best headache
cure.

TO BE SETTLED In COURT
County Treasurer Claims Benefit OF
Interest Arising from Funds

4 Lynchburg, Va. Sept. 1.-The right

benefit of interest arising from daily
balances, of county funds on bank
deposit, is to be settled at Rustburg

interest paid by the banks on balances
to the credit of the school fund.

I usual conditions in specific instances should be determined by fair and impartial body and not by either of the parties interested. No method now exists for obtaining such impar- t1al determination.

This is not now the case.

 capitalizat ton exists, and under our present laws, will probably continue to exist, in Connecticut. The Connec- tfcut Railway and Lighting Company is the most notorious but not the only example in this State. The payment of over half a million dollars a year in dividends upon stock in this com pany which represents no actual, in vestment in it's plant or equipment seems to the business men an injury either to the stockholders of the cor porat1on represented by MT.

 Since Jan. 1 he has been making Ii g from to calls daily upon Mrs; Curtis, he said, averaging several hours a day in attendance upon her. His visits were made at. her request as well as those of hex sister, broth er-in-law and Attorney Kellogg. He said in his opinion she was perfectly competent, of good reasoning power and judgment, and had been at no lime since Jan. 1 intemperate. She was nervous and irritable, but not so
 much as to affect her capacity for husiness, The nervousness is common to one of her time of life. Asked by Attorney Judson if in his opinion Mrs. Curtis showed any evidence of weakening of mentality by reason of habits previous to Jan. 1, the special ist replied in the negative.

 The specialist explained that in her nervous condition, her dislike for It, ieation might lead her to harmful ex- citement if she were forced to hear tT1e proceedings. It was at his ad- vice he said, that she remained away.

New York. Sept. 1.-The denial by vice-President John D. Archbold that the Standard Oil Company ever en- p1oyed women to entrap his enemies has brought him full mem bership in the Ananias Club organized by Mrs. A. Hobart French, ~ author of the charges made against the Standard.
