NOTHING HEARD
FROM CONVICT
Who Escaped From The Rankin State
Convict Farm Only q Few

Special to The NetoS.

Special to The NeaoS.
Jackson, Miss, July 30.-Nothing
has been heard from Dyke Edwards,
who escaped from the Rankin farm
July rs. Edwards had only been on
the farm since April IL, and was
sent up for life for the murder of DR..
A. F. Richardson in Oktibbeha county.
The murder for which. Edwards was
convicted, and the subsequent trial
was one of the greatest sensations of
its kind in Mississippi in several
years. The prisoner, after being
convicted in Oktibbeha Circuit Court,
took an appeal to the Mississippi SUI
preme Court, which affirmed the YER
dict of the lower court.
The crime for which Edwards was
sent up was the killing of DR.. A. F.

BA6GETT MAY
FIGHT NELMS
Refuses to Recognize New Member as
Preeident of the Mississippi
Levee Board.
Special to The NeDs.

Special to The Nes1s.
Jackson, Miss, July 30.-Mr. G. M.
Baggett will fight the appointment of
Mr.. ]. H. helms as president of the
lower levee board in the courts. He
refuses to recognize Mr.. helms as
president of the board. 1t is believed
here that Governor Noel will remove
Mr.. w. H. Fitzgerald and Mr.. Edward
Collins also, which will necessitate
the appointment of three new mem
bers.
Mr.. Baggett is one of the members
recently appointed by Governor Noel
About month before his term of Of
fee began DR.. Crump, who was presf-
dent of the board resigned and Mr.
Baggett was elected his successor at
a special meeting of the board. This
was done before the term of the new
members appointed by Governor Noel
began, and when the new board met
early in July and tried to go into an
election of officers Mr.. Baggett lined
up and voted with Messrs. Fitzgerald
and Collins and prevented an election.
Contending that the old board had
no authority to elect officers extend
ing beyond it's tenure, Governor Noel
after investigating the matter, appoint
ed Mr.. helms president. Mr.. helms
succeeded Mr.. E. w. Thomas, appoint
ed chancellor for the district, on the
board from Washington county, and
Mr.. Baggett will enter suit in the
chancery court to determine whether
the appointment of Mr.. helms is lie.
gal.
Following the appointment of Mr..
helms to the presidency of the board,
Mr.. Baggett called meeting at
Greenville Wednesday, did not take
place, and the affairs of the board are
tied up temporarily. Work on the
levees may be delayed because, under
the circumstances, neither Mr. helms
nor Mr. Baggett has the right to sign
creeks, or will not have when the mat
ter is thrown into the courts.
Mr.. Baggett refuses to vacate the
office, and there are some important
papers to be signed. With the appoint
ment of president by the Governor
it would not be legal for Mr.. Baggett
to sign these papers and checks, while
Mr.. helms cannot, as the books and
papers Of the board are in possession
Of the opposing faction.
The question the court will be call
ed upon to determine rs whether Mr.
Baggett, whose term Of office began
in July, could be elected president Of
the board in June, while the right Of
the retiring members to elect officers
for the new board will also be con
tested.

SMALL Decrease in
PRISON POPULATION

Special to The Netos.
Jackson, Miss, July 30.-Mississip-
PTS prison population is now 1,793,
just six more than the monthly report
Of June Is showed. On that date there
were 1,7S7 convicts on the several
state farms, which was a loss of six,
compared with the report for May.
During the month Just closed SO
new prisoners we're received and three
escapes recaptured, making total of
Sc received for the month. During
the time 81 were discharged, eight par
doned and five escaped, making total
of fifty who left the state farms.
With the exception Of the month of
May this is the largest number of con-
victs the state has ever had. For
that month the number was the same
as the report for July shows. Several
terms of court were pretermitted for
June and July, so as 10 give the farm
ers chance at their crops, or the
prisoners would have numbered more
than 1900.

were many convictions, more in fact
than of prisoners included in the re-
port, as the, travelling sergeants could
not get around to all the counties and
deliver the prisoners liz time to have
them appear in the July report
From this it is believed the total
number Of prisoners will exceed 1880
but whether there will be any increase
during August is doubtful, as there
are 26 men whose time will be up dur
ing that month.

It is not believed Edwards had any

daring, though well timed, and made
the dash for liberty without the
knowledge of any other prisoners.
The escape created something Of a
sensation at Rankin, and was fol-
lowed by the escape Of two other
prisoners Wednesday.

Reno, New, July 23.-"Oeath Val

Humboldt county, Nevada, a gold
mine that is richer than his mysteri-
Gus alleged storehouse of wealth in
Death Valley.
Heappeared at Winuemucca, where
his advent was thus described:.
"Wheu he hove into Winuemucca
he flashed a roll of bills as big around
as his arm, and they were not ones
either. He not only displayed the
aforesaid huge roll of bills and
plenty of gold coin, but had a big
bunch of the yellow ore with him.
That is, he had a good sized wad of
real gold just as it was dug from the
hills. In another pocket he had a
bag of gold nuggets valued at several
hundred dollars.
"Of late Scotty mas been working d
property at the head OF the Black
Canyon. He refuses to allow anyone
to see his claim and is as mysterious
as ever, but it is believed that he has
opened up a second natural high
grade vein some place in that
vacinity"
