Prisoner May Escape.

The ancient custom of forcing
males convicted of misdemeanor to
work out fines on the city streets or
highways, received a jolt in the SUI
preme court when Judge Fred L. VIII
liams filed an opinion directing that
Ted Owens be discharged from serv-
ing two years in the penitentiary.
Owens was convicted of felonious
assault in Howell county and fined
500 and committed to Jail. Later
he was turned over to the street
commission of West Plains and put
at work on the streets, He escaped,
but later was caught, indicted by the
grand jury for Jail breaking and SEN
fenced to the penitentiary for two
years.
Judge Williams says the jail
breaking statutes do not cover such
offenses as Owens was convicted Of,
and that his liberty must be restored,
at least so far as the penitentiary sem
tence is concerned. He says there is
no law making escapes of this charac-
ter a felony.

were worn out and thinned by many
hours of bombardment that the enemy
succeeded In rushing the Thiaumont

The Thiaumont fortflcation covered

However, the appeals were of no

He added that, should he be ordered
to cross the line, there hardly would

Field Headquarters In Mexico, June
~ (By Wireless TO Columbus, \. NJ
Trapped and fighting against heavy
odds, the troops of the Tenth cavalry
engaged at Carrizal on "Wednesday
charged twice directly into the jaws of
the ambush which the NcxiCans had
laid for them. With bullets i'm his
arm and shoulder, Capt. Charles IT,
Boyd. the commander remained in
the saddle, leading his negro troopers
until they had captured the concealed
Mexican machine gun trench. when
he fell mortally wounded with a bul.
lei I'm the eye.
This was the gist of the first de-
tailed account of the engagement
from American sources. which was
brought to General Pershing today by
Corporal Green of Troop G, who WAS
AT Captain Boyd's side until he fell.
F'lanlled on Both Sides.
The Americans were thanked on
both sides by the Carranclstas, during
conference between General Felix
Gomez, the Mexican leader, and Cap
tain Boyd. In front was a concealed
Mexican machine gun trench from
which a stream of lcadcn death unex-
pcCtcdiy WIS poured into the Amerl-
can ranks.
Corporal Green said that Captain
Boyd, although wounded in the arm
aud shoulder by the first fire. h1nc-
dately gave the order To- charge and
the detachment rode at top speed. I'm
a hail of bullets directly at the trench,
capturing il inst as the American
leader fell. The Mexicans retreated to
cover in nearby adobe shack. Lieut..
Henry lldair assumed command and
ordered second charge, which
drove through the shack, scattering
the Mexican command. Green said
he did not see Lieutenant Adair after
this charge and believes that he lost
his life in il.

Meanwhile Capt. Lewis S. Morey.

NIorey was wounded in the fight.
