NEGRO SAYERS OF
GUARD At LARGE
Six Days Hunt in Delta Fails
to Find Five Prisoners
Who Escaped.

YAZOo CITY, Miss, Aus. 20. (Spl)-
Six days Of search for the five negroes
who escaped from Yazoo county's pris-
IN farm near Free Run last Thursday,
after murdlng their guard, have left the
officers " this county With but little
clew rs to The whereabouts Of the ne
Eroes. B~loodhounds were put on the
tratl within a few hours after the crime,
but continued rains interfered with
their work and the trail was lost,
But little doubt Is entertained hut
that at least two Of the negroes made
their way at once to Yazoo City and
spent last Friday night in this place.
The next day two negroes boarded a
freight train al Eden, in the northern
edge Of this county, and threatened
the train crew with automatic pistols
when a threat was made to put them
off the train. Officers In Yazoo City
were telephone 10 meet the train, but
the message amt too late and the
same was true OF Bentonia and Flora.
The police force in jackson was adj
vised OF the trouble the train crew had
had with the negroes and met the train
at the asylum switch north Of aJckson,
They found two negroes on the train
and shot and killed one Of them when
he refused to halt at their command,
GERS failed 10 identify the dead negro
as one Of the five who had escaped
from the Yazoo county farm.
The negro who struck the blow which
killed the guard at the county prison
farm, II deyelopes, is a desperate char
acter, who was sent 10 the farm under
the name of viii James. He recently
broke into the home of his employer In
this county and stole a gun with the
avowed purpose Of killing another ne
gro, Additional information comes that
the assault which resulted In the death
OF the guard, a young man named Jack
freeman, who Is Just back from the
army, was planned, The negroes were
cutting down a tree and when the guard
came near they raised the question
as to which way the tree vas TO fall.
directing MIR. Freeman's attention to
the top Of the tree. James stepped be-
hind him and struck him a powerful
blow on the head with his axe
After he had fallen to the ground
the negroes robbed his body Of an
automatic revolver and $50 In money.
At a house nearby, where Mr., Free
man stayed, they changed their con-
Wet clothes for citizens clothes and
left. Two negro boys who were pris.
oners with the five escaped eenvicts.
slipped away from the five as soon
as possible and gave the alarm.
