the Wilson attitude toward Central

twenty .uiles from here late last
nigatt.
While the flames rapidly ate away
the only stairway leading to the sec

tore at the heavy bars that covered
the jail windows but to no avail.
Their screams brought guards and
other prison attaches but the flames
drove back members of the rescue
party each time they attempted to
liberate the negroes who, one by one.
fell back into the flames and persisted.
Everything was in favor of the fire.
The building was constructed ten
years ago of lumber taken from a dis
carded penftentiary. There was no
fire fighting apparatus at the farm
and the first floor of the building was
filled with infiammable material.
