TWO
CONV|CTS HAVE
BEEN ARRESTED
COUPLE OF STRANGERS ARREST
ED AT BEAUMONT, TEXAS, AND
HAVE BEEN ORDERED HELD
FOR FURTHER INVESTIGATION.

Two strangers, though to be Albert
Bernard and John Barnes, two of the
convicts who escaped from the county
convict camp after assaulting a guard
and killing a trusty, are under arrest
at Beaumont, Texas, and Governor
Trammell was asked by wire last night
to have the governor of Texas instruct
the chief of police at Beaumont to hold
the men until an officer could reach
there, and a requisition be obtained
for them.
In the Office of the sheriff yesterday,
little doubt was held but that the two
men under arrest were tie convicts
named. Each of them hold member
ship in a secret order, in the branch
at Hopewell, N. T., and application was
made for relief from the lodge in
Beaumont, Texas, by said men. This
application was referred to the sherif's
Office, as it had been worked out that
it would be once the two men ever
applied for relief, and Immediately
Deputy Hoffman, acting for the sheriff,
wired that the two men be pointed out
to the chief of police by the lodge
OFFICIALS IN beaumont. This Was done,
and soon afterward arrived a telegram
announcing the men were in jail. Then
Governor Trammell was asked to ask
Governor Colquitt to order the men
detained.
The two convtcts named hold mem
bership in the lodge referred to and
among their effects held at the county
jail is large ring with an insignia
of the order engraved thereon. Mem
bership cards are also among their
effects, and 1t was mainly upon the
strength of this property that the two
men were located. They were traced
through Louisiana, Mississippi and
into Texas, but at Beaumont they
asked relief, in the sum of ten dollars
each. Claiming that they had lost re-
ceipts which would show that they
were in good standing, they were I'M
able to obtain requested relief until
their good standing was fully estab-
Iished. That inquiry was made of To-
cal officials here after the men had
that they had transferred
their lodge memberships from the New
Jersey lodge to lodge at Pensacola.
Just as soon as their identities may
be established without question, and a |
issued for their transfer to |
Pensacola to answer to two serious |
charges which have been docketed |
against them, deputy will go to Texas
for the two, and it was stated yester- |
day that Deputy Carl Hoffman will |
be selected to make the trip.

Open Air Market
Should Be Established.

Some time ago, certain pubfic-spir-
tied citizens Of Pensacola tried to es-
/ tablish an open air market. For time
their efforts were we're partly success
/ full. but the effort for some reason
finally failed. Those who were active
IN this progressive effort for Pensa-
cola will be interested In a similar
plan which has been successfully
launched in Chattanooga, and where
nearly 10, 900 people visited the market
upon the opening day, purchasing 1000
baskets of provisions, all at lower
prices than had prevailed previous to
the opening. Between the opening
hour, a. m, and II a. m. 1000 people.
visited the market, and three thousand
baskets were sold and filled by those
who had come unprepared.
Fifty EIGHT farm wagons, each loaded
with products of all kinds, were backed
up at the curb at the places designated
for them, and every farmer sold every
thing he brought to market, and the
prices charged were considerably less
than the prices that had ruled before
the market was established. The di-
rect competition of those who occupied
stalls within the market building re-
suited in a sharp lowering of prices,
and in some lines this was particu-
larly marked, the most apparent saw
ing being in meats, the average reduc-
ton being about cents a pound COM
pared with prices charged outside the
market. Oysters, fish and other arti-
cles, brought from other places, were
also sold at a marked reduction in
price.
distinct feature of the opening
day was the support which the women
of Chattanooga gave to the new mar
ket. One of the most serious ques-
tions previous to the opening was,
Twill the women support the new
municipal market o. Following the bus
mess of the first day this had been
changed to, Can the market fill the |
demands of the housekeepers of Chat |

kets in the country, and the people !

fully by 1t. Other cities have fallen |
in line as the public market idea ex-
panded and all have been highly graft
fed with the results. The public mar
kets have been the means of provid-
ing housekeepers with the best prod
