ANOTHER ESCAPE
FROM STATE FARM
Man Was Pursued by Guards and
Shots Were Fired at Him With
out Result.

Special to The Ne1oS.
Jackson Miss, Aug. 19.-Wllllam
Markham, alias Moccasin Bill, after
firing three shots at one night watch
man and two at Mr.. Nelson who lives
nearby, made his escape from Oakley
farm Tuesday night. He was pur-
sued by Sergeant Whitaker and the
guards. and several shots were fired
at him. but Markham made his get
away.
Markham had been trusty nurse for
some time. He was sent up from
Pike county in October, 1909 for
grand larceny, and was serving five
year term. His conduct was such that
he was a trusty, and given position
as nurse. Securing a revolver in
some unknown way, the negro made
brake for liberty Tuesday night.
Shooting at the night watchman he
dashed down through the field, the
watchman firing four shots after the
|
| fleeing negro. AS he was making
his escape, Mr.. Nelson came out to
see what the shooting meant and
the negro firing two shots at him.
Taking his dogs, Sergeant Whitta-
ker and several men followed the me-
gro. He went through wire fences
md got into a deep ravine, the pur-
suers firing fifteen or twenty shots
at the fleeing negro, but whether he
vas hit no one could say. Two OF
the dogs that were sent on the trail
followed the negro down the deep II
vine, but the pursuing party could
not keep up with the dogs, and it is
believed the negro killed them, as
they have not shown up at the farm
Markham has a sister living in
Jackson and his wife lives at Mark
ham. though his father and mother
live at Brookhaven. He is a dark
brown negro, with a small scar Oh
the under lip and large scar on the
left shoulder, with fresh scars on his
hand where he had an abscess.

BIG LEAGUE CLUBS
TO EXTEND RULE
Major League Magnates Practically
Agree That the Rule Shall Not
Apply Until Sept. 2s.

The major league magnates have
practically agreed that the rules call
ing teams down to thirty-five men OIL
August 20 shall not be put into effect
until September 20. This will give ii
chance to recall players out under
option, and also to make drafts
and look over the candidates for
few weeks before the teams have to
be trimmed.
A novel proposition in regard to the
thirty-five men limit had been made
by President Hedges, of the st. Louis
Browns. 1t is that first division teams
in the two big leagues shall be limited
to thirty-fve men, but that the limit
for second division teams shall be
forty-five. This, thinks Hedges, would
give the weaker teams a chance to
strengthen, something he thinks, the
strong teams should be glad to grant
1t is stated that some of the major
league clubs now control as many as
sixty players and they will have to do
some hustling to get into the limit,
even if the time is extended to Sept.
20. No team, of course, is carrying 60
players on the bench, but they are
out under option agreements. A ma
tional commission bulletin gives the
players out on options as follows:
National League-Brooklyn %, Gin
cinnati IS, Chicago II, New York 5,
Philadelphia 5, st. Louis 5. Pittsburg
4, Boston 8. Total 73.
American League-Chicago 81, Bos-
ton Is, Detroit 9, st. Louis s.. New
York 6, Philadelphia 4, Washington g.
Cleveland 8. Total 50.

TOOK ANOTHER
From VICkSBURG
Locals Won In One OF The Prettiest
Games Of The Season Yesterday
Afternoon.

In one of the prettiest games of the
season, the local aggregation of dia-
mond warriors trounced the gentlemen
from Vicksburg with two to one
count, thus making it two straight and
the series. 1t was a pitchers battle
from start to finish, both Bagby and
Mason being in the best of form and
having the. opposing batsmen guess
Ing throughout the contest. All the
runs were made on errors, and the
remarkable feature is that the errors
which scored the runs were. made by
the pitchers. Bagby threw the bail
over Swans head in the first, permit
ting Stadelli to score from third; and
in the second Mason threw wild to
first and Swan and Stamm scored.
With the exception of these two er-
rors the game was mighty clean.
vicksburg, in fact, fielded faultlessly
except for the above mentioned wild
heave, and the locals had only two
unimportant errors to their discredit
Eaton dropping an easy one out in
right and Stamm making one bad
tumble.
vieksburg scored in the first. Sta
delli. first up, hit slow one to third
and beat it out. Gutierrez sacrificed
him to second and he stole third. He
then attempted to pull OF the unusual
feat of stealing home, but he would
have been caught block If Bagby
had not uncorked the only wild pitch
of the game and thrown the ball over
Swans head. 80
Hattiesburg's two runs came in the
second. Swan hit through short and
Stamm was hit by pitched ball.
Folbre hunted and Mason started to
field the ball to third but seeing 1t
( was too late turned to first and
heaved it out of Ozee's reach. Swan
and Stamm both scored on the error.
The only way to get ball by Ozee,
by-the-way, is to send it out of reach;
and he has long-reach at that.
This was all there was to the run
getting. After these two classic innings
eno one on either side saw second bag.
The slabmen were working in beauti-
full form, and though the game was
played hard till the last man had
struck out, there was never chance
for a score.
In the second inning Johnson made
peachy catch of long, hot, fly to
left off Mills bat. The little fellow
was off at the crack of the bat and
nabbed it just as it was about to
whiz over his shoulder, Swan also

GOVERNOR NOEL PLEASED
WITH HATT!ESBURG TRIP
Jackson Clarion-Ledger.D


Governor Noel was more than
pleased with his trip to Hattiesburg
and on his return to this city yester
day he did not hesitate to express his
appreciation of the reception they
gave him. The Governor says tlfe
people of that progressive city must
be the best folks on earth. for they
not only patiently listened to him for
two hours, but after his address was
finished they took him auto riding
and showed him the town. not at
all afraid that he would "spy on

Not satisfied with all this attention
they had prepared an elegant feast tor
him, and while they knew that he was
a Baptist they recognized the fact
that he had the longings of a Metho-
dist for the good things Of life and
had so prepared. They dined him
elegantly, but instead Of wineing him,
they gave him an especially warm in
vitation to "call again. assuring him
that the sentiment of the people of
that place, which has always been
most friendly to him, had not changed
a whit. 1t has been claimed by some,
with whom the thought was evidently
father to the wish, that the Governor
had lost friends in that locality. but
he says that If that is fact their
depression has been more than made
up by the new friends. he made, and
who were among his warmest well
comers.
