cape.

Pickcns, Jan. 25.-What came very
near Jail delivery was frustrated at
the Pickcns Jail 10y the timely ar
rival OF sheriff Roark and the refusal
oI some prisoners To take part. Just
before retiring last Wednesday night,
the sheriff started ON his usual round
through the corridors of the Jail to
see that all was well. Just as he ell
tered he was attacked by one of the
prisoners who called for thu others.
For some reason the other prisoners
did not respond and the sheriff be-
ing the better man soon had the ag-
grcssUr in his cell. Had the ether
that they would have gained their
liberty. With the spring out OF an
cid shoe and II pocket knife they had
cut the lock To the cell and had sue
ceedcd i'm cutting very large hole
M the wall Of the building. but des-
pairing of getting out through the

The man who attacked the sheriff
was Coleman Caudle, who was sent
from Easlcy for robbery, and. as u
coincidence Sheriff Roark had his
hands full of fruit, which the boys
father had sent to him, and il was
about to lie delivered. Caudle has
served one sentence ON the chaingang
and had been out only u short time
when arrested ON the above charge.
