BOY WHO ESCAPED
JAIL BROUGHT BACK
BY FATHER TODAY
Two Others Who Fled From
Horse Stealing Charge
at Large.

Three alleged horse thieves-a man, a
youth, and a boy-effected Jail de-
livery at Fairfax county courthouse
early this morning. Two of them are
now at large in Louden county, and
the sheriff and small posse is now
rapidly getting the net about the fugi-
tives.
The thirteen-year- boy, Miner
Mack, who lives In Fairfax, went di-
rectly to his home when he escaped
and was brought back to the Jail by
his father at II o'clock this morning.
The fugitives are Milliard Burgess.
thirty-four years old, a sailor on the
u. 8. s. Franklin, and Melville Clark,
eighteen, alleged deserter from the U.
g. s. Utah.
The Jail at Fairfax was built re-
Gently. and was supposed to be proof
against escape. Prisoners had not ex-
perineced much trouble in getting out
OF the old Jail, and when the new
structure was completed the citizens Of
the county were very proud of it. The
cells were constructed along modern
and approved lines, and the bars were
made extra heavy and strongly re-en-
forced. AS a matter OF fact, the jailer
had so much confidence in the new jail
that he never gavea though to the pos
sibility of anyone escaping.
About o'clock this morning, when he
went to the Jail to give the prisoners
their breakfast, he was startled to find
the bars Of one of the windows ripped
open. They had been sawed at the bot.
tom and then bent in from the top
Hurriedly entering the Jail, it was found
that the bars of three cells had beer
cut out in a similar manner and the
three prisoners. the only ones in the
:a!l, he'd all escaped.
Escaped After Midnight.
1t Is believed the delivery was eff
fected some time after midnight. Every
thing was apparently all right wheI
the sheriff visited the Jail last even
ing The bars appeared intact, but 1
Is admitted that the prisoners nigh
have been working on them for a da!
or two and filled in the spaces wher
the saw had been used with tobacco o
soap. Fairfax county authorities be
lieve the trio had been gone severa
hours when their escape became
known.
Burgess, who is a sailor on tn
Franklin, was formerly employed II
the county on the farm of a man namc
Ford. He obtained Ave days leav
from the ship, which is anchored OF
Boston, and visited Fairfax last week

that but for his zeolousness, our
Lodge would perhaps still be- in
