ESCAPES FROM JAIL
Scar-Faced Man, Held For Murder,
Gets Away.


Hill City, Kan, Sept. 13--A1 Hall,
alias Harris, alias Lewis, held for the
murder of Albert Allen of Moreland,
escaped from the county jail here
Sunday morning. Ernest Edwards, a
negro, held for assault with intent to
kill, went with him but he returned
at daybreak and gave himself up to
the sheriff. Edwards tells a weird
tale, evidently with the purpose of
aiding Hall.
Bloodhounds were brought from
Phillipsburg, arriving at 10 O'Clock in
the morning. They trailed Hall to a
point on Coon creek but lost the
scent there and were urable to fol-
low further after repeated attempts.
A reward of 800 has been offered
for his capture.
Hall is believed to be bad man
and it is thought that he is wanted
in several places He is about 80
years old, medium height, weighs
about 40 pounds and has scar
across his nose.

came and brought with it half-sooth-

vain straining of the eyes upon the
horizon at any rate was spared to
them. They slept in fashion, but
soon after dawn they were on their
feet again. Suddenly Quest, who had
gone a little out of his way to mount
a low range of sand hills, waved his
arm furiously. He was holding his
field-glasses to his eyes. It was won

They started off gayly to where the
caravan had come to standstill. They
had scarcely traversed a hundred
yards, however, before the Arab who
was leading Lenora's horse came to a
sudden standstill. He pointed with
his arm and commenced to talk in an
excited fashion to his two companions.
From across the desert, facing them,
came little company of horsemen,
galloping fast and with the sunlight
flashing upon their rifles.
"The Mongars!" the Arab cried,
pointing wildly. "They attack the
caravan!"
The three Arabs talked together for
moment in an excited fashion. Then,
without excuse or warning, they swung

They all rose at once to their feet,
and few moments later horses were
brought.
The little procession was already be-

them once more.
