ELKTON, Md. Sept. Give pris-

a sensational jail break here yester-
day morning by tying their bedsteads
together putting the improvised lad
der against the wall. and with a ropa
scaling the wall to freedom. The
four whites we're captured a half
hour later by Sheriff J. Wesley Nc

at the points Of revolvers. The negro
escaped.
As has been customary, the Sheriff
unlocked the cell doors yesterday
morning and allowed the prisoners to
roam about the corridors and the Jail
yard, the latter being enclosed by a
30-foot stone wall Hardly had tho
Sheriff left the prison proper before
the prisoners started to put their
plans to escape into operation They
carried three of the iron bedsteads
from their cells, and made ropes Of
their blankets. After tying the bed
steads together they had a ladder Of
sufficient length to reach the top OF
the Jail yard wall with the help of a
piece of rope, which had been snug
gled into the prison.
After getting to the top of the bed
stead ladder the rope, which had been
knotted at the end. was run along tha
coping until It caught in one Of the
cracks. The men we're then able TO
get to the. top of the wall.
The prisoners, Frank Gowetz,

Of the jail, Denney notified Sheriff

Pennsylvania railroad tracks toward
the Delaware line. In a few minutes
the Sheriff started in pursuit, the

ahead Of him. After the officer had
gotten up the railroad few hundred
yards the northbound passenger train,
due at Elkton depot at 726 a. M,

o. M. d. WILL DO
WITHOUT LIEUT.-COL.

The question of selecting a sue
cessor TO Lieutenant Colonel Evan G..
Boyd, o. M. d., retired, will most like
ly be settled by the office being al
lowed to exist without being filled
The selection of a successor would
mean an election and as there are but
two officers eligible, Major Simon p
Doherty, the senior officer and Major
J. Warner Reed who now commands
the two battalions, vacancies would
be created in these positions. II is
felt that the affairs Of the militia can
continue without the vacancy Of Lieu
tenant Colonel being filed.
Itds pointed out that under this ar
rangement the rivalry existing be-
tween the friends Of the two officers
will be eliminated.

HELP THINGS ALONG

When people are needing some dough and are pleading for aid and support for some good worthy plan, don't knock and don't t holler, but dig up dollar, and help things along like a good little man. The knocker is hated and feared and berated in every burg from Beer sheba to Dan; be active and cough up shilling, and help things along like good little man. Be known as booster and crow like a roos- ter, don't yelp like a bow-wow that's tied 10 a can; laugh, sing and kyoodle and blow in some poodle, and help things along like nice little man. Quit plum der and pillage to whoop for your village, and win renown as an optimist ian; don't e'er be winner but shell out a sinner and help things along like a dear little man, The towns that are going to keep up their growing are filled up with good Injins who follow this plan; so don't be a miser; to loosen ups wiser, and people will say your a tswect little man.
