London. Jan. ia mutiny among

The Geneva dispatch quotes ad-

1t is said to have begun by subma-

to portions of the crews of cruisers
stationed at Kiel.
Some of the men who joined in
the attack on the officers took part
in the earlier mutiny at Kiel, the dis

Although the mutiny was local, it

ESCAPED CONVICT
BEHIND THE BARS

William Bethune, the escaped
convict, formerly janitor at the court
house, was apprehended by Hon. Ma
rion Dickson, chairman of the Board
OF Commissioners, near his residence
seven miles east of the city.
Bethune was walking along the
road when Mr.. Dickson came along
in his car and knowing the man
stopped and persuaded him to &C
company him back to the city. Be-
thunc appears to be more or less de-
mented and talked about fearing be-
ing lynched, fro which no possible
motive appears.
On arrival near the courthouse, Mr..
Dickson secured the aid of Officers
John White and J. T. Reddick, who
after considerable trouble placed him
in the county Jail. On examination
he was found to be in possession of
a pistol and razor and the friends of
Mr.. Dickson marvel at his bringing
the prisoner back to town single
handed.
The prison commissioners have
been notified by the authorities to
send for the man, as in his present
condition it will be impossible to
keep him at the camp and it would
be toe expensive to hold him indefi-
nitely in Jail here.
