SOLD BILL" MINER OUT AGAIN.
He Makes Good His Boast That He
Would Yet Get Away.

Milledgeyille, Ca, June 28.-"Olt
Bill" Miner. bandit and train robber
serving twenty-year sentence In the
Georgia penitentiary. to-day made
good his threat of few months age
when he declared he would again
gain his freedom.
When guards at the prison farm
made their rounds this morning they
discovered that Miner was gone, and
had taken with him w. J. Widen
camp, q "lifer" from Tattnall county,
and w. NJ. Virgins, sent up from the
same county for one year for carry
ing pistol.
Since he made his sensational es-
cape last fall, and laughed at the
prison authorities when recaptured,
saying that it would not be long until
he was gone again, Miner has been
under double guard by day, and
chained and shackled to his bed and
room by night.
Chains There; Miner Gone.
This morning the chains and
shackles were found locked to his
bed and the iron rings in the walls
Of the room, but the old man had
gone. He sawed the irons away, and
then cut the bars Of the window,
crawled out and dropped from the
second story. The other prisoners
who escaped were not manacled.
Miner Is feet SR inches tall,
weighs 1870 pounds, fair complexion,
slender, light chestnut hair, light
blue eyes and sandy moustache. He
Is 10 years old
Widcncamp is 35 years old. He
was sent up February 22, 1911.
Virgins Is 81 and was sent up
April 10, 1912. He has been at the
camp less than ten weeks
Miner was a Western gold and
silver miner before he turned train
robbcr. That accounts for his now
being called Miner"
Miner was sent up for holding up a
Southern railway train near Gaines
vile early last year. His capture fol-
lowed long search. At that time
he declared he had been an inmate of
twenty-scven different prisons.
First Escape Last Fall.
Miners first escape on October 16,
last year, was also spcctacular. At
mat time he choked IA guard into in
sensibility, while he told a compan-
ION TO hoid a gun at his head. took
the guards pistol and escaped.
With him then escaped his COM
panion. Tom Moore, life prisoner,
and John Watts, OF Pulaski county,
also life man. convicted Of killing
a man and his wife
Miner had advistd the prison au-
thorities that he would remain here
In Milledgeville at the State farm a
while for rest. About 3 o'clock in the
morning Night Guard Bloodworth
was overpowered by Miner, who
choked him and vowed he would kin
him If he resisted lie told him that
Moore had pistol at his head. The
men then took the guards guns and
escaped, we'll armed.

FOUND IN DYING CONDITION.
Laurens County Man Probably Vic
tim OF Overdose OF Laudanum.

Renno, June 26.-Posey Hollings-
worth was found to be in a dying
condition early Monday morning
with two laudanum bottles by his
side, one of them having been emp
tied. For several weeks Mr.. Hol-
lingsworth had been drinking very
heavily, 1t Is said, and for the past
few days mad been visiting his ccn-
sin, b. f.. Copeland. About the mid
die OF the mig t Mr.. Copeland went
to Mr.. Hoilingsworths room to see
If there was anything that he wanted,
and found that he was in a critical
condition, hardly able to catch his
breath. Medical attention was sum-
moned at once and every effort pos
sible made to revive the patient, but
all was in vain. Without regaining
consciousness, except for few min
utes. he died in convulsions early in
the morning.
The common belief Is that he took
tho dose of laudanum, hoping to
quiet his nerves and to give him some
sleep, but through mistake took an
overdose. Some hold 10 the idea
that his Intention was to end his life.
The doctors are of the opinion that
the alcohol and whiskey are more d.
rectly the cause of his death than the
QOSe or laudanum.

WILL TEDDY REALLY DROP OUT?
Washington Post Springs Sensation
in Matter Of Political Possibilities.

The Washington Post of June 9th
carried an interesting bit OF informa-
tion gathered ny staff correspond
ent, in which 1t is stated that If Will
son Is nominated by the Democrats
there will be no third party ticket
headed by Theodore Roosevelt.
Should Wilson secure the nomi-
nation" says the Post, "the conven-
tion decided upon at Chicago last
week, when 1t meets, vii! not name
Roosevelt, but Wilson.
According to the Washington pa
per, this message was delivered to
William j. Bryan In Baltimore by
Francis J. Heney, of California, and
Charles r. Crane, Of Illinois.
Its ostensible purpose Is clear-to
unite advanced progressiyes of both
parties and insure beyond doubt the
defeat OF President William Howard
Taft.
When the bolting convention ad-
journed in Chicago 1t was announced
that there was desire to await the
action Of the assembly In Baltimore,
the explanation being given that per-
haps there would something occur
that would obviate the necessity for
the August meeting.
Apparently" says the Post, "the
possible success Of Governor Wilson
or another radical was the thing
which the projectors and promoters
Of the Chicago affair had in mind.
"As far as can be ascertained, Mr..
Bryan has not yet made up an opin-
ion of this remarkable proposition,
the intelligence concerning which has
been carefully guarded as the treas
urc Of king.
'The fact is, the thing is as dan
gerous as it is tempting.
"RooSeveltS self-effacement can
only be taken to mean the gratifica-
tion Of his consequent power to de-
feat his successor in the White
House and thereby clear the way for
his own return to power in 1916.
The proclaimed purpose Of every
Democratic leader in this assemblage
Is to rid American politics of both
TAFT and Roosevelt. The question
then presents itself to the party whe-
ther 1t shall harken to the defeated
candidate Of the Chicago convention
and shape its policies and its nomi-
nation so as to secure his support"

that the mans brother purchased the

SELECTING THE DELEGATES.

AS has been the custom for years,
the delegates at-large to the Ma
tionaI Convention were selected
prior to the meeting of the State
Convention at Baton Rouge. There
is no objection in so far as we know
to the distinguished Democrats thus
selected, but for appearance ~
sake, if nothing else, we think 1t
would have been best not to have
given the public what had been the
result of the conventions labors
till it had adjourned. This does not
smack too strong of the people rul-
ing. II looks like the fine Italian
hand of the boss had been at work
some more. The papers say these
men had been agreed upon, but the
names of those making the agree
ment were not disclosed.-Guard-
ian Journal.
We had anticipated the end OF
BOSS Rule" with the triumph of
Luther e. Hall as the Governor of
Louisiana.
The Caucasian is disappointed. 1t
is sorely chagrined. The people
ruling" is snare and delusion.
The State Convention held at
Baton Rouge Tuesday night was, as
in the days of Sanders, a "cut and
dried affair.""
The voice of the people was sti-
fled; the choice of the people was
disregarded flagrantly.
The majority of the Democrats
who vote and carry elections in
Louisiana is for Wilson and not for
Clark.
If the selection of delegates to the
Baltimore convention had been left
to the majority, untrammeled the
Democracy of Louisiana would have
been aligned for Wilson.
1t would seem that the rule of the
Boss has dominated at Baton Rouge.
Bossism, at this time, is no less
odious and reprehensible than it
was when dictated by Governor San
ders.
1t was the desire of the people to
be emancipated from the rule OF
the Boss that led to the election of
Governor Hall.
And to think that the people have
been misled and are deceived when
the demands for reform and the
rule of the people" still echo
through the State is monstrous.
