The five longtime convicts who
overpowered a 'trusty" guard near
Make Monday and escaped, are still
at large.
No reward has been offered for their
capture, because of the fact that the
Board of Supervisors has no authority
TO pay money as reward. However,
to the man who turns any or all of
them over to either the county or the
city authorities, it will be worth his
while.
This is the announcement made to-
day by the Board of Supervisors, after
comforting with County Attorney Cur
rie
! The pay will be made and included
in the cost bill, the amount to be re-
ceived depending entirely upon the
amount of time and effort required in
making the arrests.
\ It is not believed that the convicts
are hiding in the Bowen Bay swamps,
whittier they ran after taking the gun
pf the "trusty'' from him, and making
their get away. 1t is believed that at
beast a couple of them will try to get
into Hattiesburg and get new cloth.

Sheriff HARRISON both have given spe'
cial instructions to their policemen
and their deputies to keep a close
'watchout on the homes OF the prison
ers here
Are on Lookout.
'.My men are watching for the con
victs." said Chief Bennett today. 1--WE
would have a much better opportunity
of nabbing them if there was any kind
of a reward for them, That doesn't
mean that my men will not work just
Jas hard with no reward in sight, as Il
shere were one. But our spoilers
2kould be much more active. This class
Iof men will do nothing unless the,
see remuneration in sight. II the!
know there is no reward out for thu
prisoners, it is nothing to their credi
to take them, and they will make nj
efforts"
Sheriff HARRISON said that his depu
ties would not be stimulated by TN
offer of a reward, "There are score
81 outsiders who would join in th
chase. however, if there were pric
on the heads of the escaped men"
The supervisors stated that the
would be more than willing to oner
reward, If they could legally 40 IS

But the members, to man. nay

IRON ROD IN BED
SAVES LIFE OF
A WOMAN
Stops Bullet, Which Evidently
Was Fired by Some Candi-
date for the Nut Club.

A little iron rod, about the size OF
a mans finger. came into the life
of Mrs. A. II. Waldeck. of South
Chestnut street, Monticello addition.
Wednesday afternoon, placing itself
between this and the other shore.
The rod, one of several which run
vertically In the foot Of bed in the
Waldeclt home. stopped n bullet,
which, had 1t continued on its jour
ney. would have penetrated Mrs.
Waldeck's head.
The bullet was fired by an I'M
known man, who evidently had more
bullets than brains.
Mrs. Waldeck was lying on the bed
in her home when she heard some
thing strike the rod In the foot of
the bed and then drop to the floor.
1t sounded like a thlmble had fallen
to the floor, she said She got up
and looked around. and found n
thirty-two-caliber bullet lying on the
floor. Further investigation showed
bullet hole in the screen and also
through towel, which was hanging
on the foot OF the bed.
The bullet came through rear
window, which faces Stealcy Heights
and Hartland. IT. seems likely. It is
said, that the bullet came from Stea-
ley Heights.
Mr.. Waldeck is OF the opinion that
some one in thnt suburb was doing a
little prouiscuous shooting. without
regard to where the bullets lodged.
