CONVICT MAKES ESCAPE .
Grabs Pistol From Guard and
Leaves Unhindered

Florence, June 23.-John Best, a
convict serving a tlree-year sentence
on the county chaingang on the
charge of obtaining goods under false
pretences, made his escape from the
gang one day this week.
On the pretext of borrowing the
pocket knife of the guard and while
the guard had his hands in his pock-
ct feeling for the knife, the negro
snatched the revolver from the guard
and made a safe getaway, carrying
with him the pistol.
On the day before the escape a
party of men claim that they saw in
the swamp a negro man and woman
place in the water of a creek bun
die, then place above the spot pa
per bag. They reported the matter
to the sheriff who on investigation,
found complete change of clothing
submerged in the water. The bundle
contained suit Of clothes, a pair OF
shoes, underwear, socks and a cap.
It is presumed that the escape was
premeditated and that the bundle was
left there for the escaped convict.

oped, he was with Gen. Zachary Tay-
lor in the battle of Buena Vista. La
ter he was ordered to Lower Califor-
MIA with Gen. John c. Fremont's Cav
airy. He did scout duty and protected
settlers in North Dakota, Washing
ton and Utah. In 1859 he was put on
post duty at st. Louis, Mo-, and while
there received his first furlough OF
six months.
He was personally acquainted with
President Abraham Lincoln and at
the outbreak of the Civil War was
commits ;oned a First Lieutenant in
the Twenty-eighth Indiana Cavalry
Later he was put in command Of the
First United States Marines and sent
with General Grants army.
after valient service at Walnut
Barrow, Vicksburg, he was offered a
lieutenant-colonelcy of the Fourth Ar
kansas Division, refusing it to remain
with his command. Later Governor
O. P. Morton, Indiana, had him take
charge of the 144th Indiana Regi-
ment, and he went to Shenandoah
Valley. When the war closed he was
with his outfit at Winchester, Va.
"The aged veteran was asked to
tell the circumstances of his wounds.
He said, MY first wound was re-
ceived while was in North Dakota,
when a scouting party of twenty-five
men under my command trailed a
band of Indians who had killed a set
tier, James O'Banpon, and carried off
his wife and two sons. When we
came upon the Idians skirmish en-
sued. Twas struck by an arrow which
left my leg in bad shape for a long
time.
Ten of the Indians were killed and
we rescued the woman and children.
Unless l am mistaken the boys are
still living in Washington, D. c.
"After lighting his corncob pipe
and taking few puffs of long green,'
CAPTAIN Cole said that at Walnut Bar
row a ball pierced his side. He was
months in recovering.
Following the war he was IN the
secret service for number OF years.
Among the old records and papers he
displayed was a copy of The Daily
Journal, Evansville, Ind, June 4,
1864, containing a story OF the &C
tivities of S. S. Cole. The article did
not refer to him as captain. He was
acting as spy at the time.
"The captain laughed when asked
if he was ever taken prisoner. He
said that while he had charge OF the
National Cemetery at Staunton. Va
Confederate veterans held a reunion.
He attended, being the only Damned
Yankee there. The old rebels sur
rounded him, and a Presbyterian

Va resident of that justly famous
State. Capt. Stephen Samuel Cole,
Indian fighter, veteran of the Mexl-
can and Civil wars, has served the
United States seventy-five years, and
at the age ofsninety-five still helps
to keep green a national cemetery
where his comrades sleep. Accord
ing to q writer in the Louisville
Times, Captain Cole attributes his
longevity to a lesson taught him by
his mother: "Do right and just by all
mankind. If you can not say a good
word for a man, never say bad one.
You may do a great injustice. Have
good neighbors and friends by being
neighborly and friendly with those
about you. Then you'll have no wor-

Captain Cole was a neighbor OF
President Zachary Taylor under whom
he served in the Mexican War. He
was born in jefferson County, Ken
lucky, near the Zachary Taylor farm,
April Is, 1926, and spent his boyhood
days there with his parents, Stephen
Cole and Henrietta Wheeler Cole.
"When he was still in his early
teens his father moved to a farm in
Floyd County, near New Albany
where he lived until he entered COL
lege at Greencastle, Ind. With Will
liam Glenn. a schoolmate, he ran
away from school in 1886 and joined

Mad House Fiction

A THOUSAND FACES. BY Florence s.
Thompson and DR. George w. Calvin.
Boston: Four Seas Company.
The kind of novel that DR.. Holmes
called "medicated fiction" the story
with purpose" needs to be done
very well indeed to gain it's end I'm
fortunately "A Thousand Faces" by
Florence Seyler Thompson and DR..
George W. Calvin, which Is meant to
bring about reform of abuses in our
insane asylums, is quite absurd as a
story and ineffective as a tract, be-
cause of its lack OF any sense OF pro-
portion. A young inventor is shang-
haied into an asylum by very Heavy
William and his gang in order that they
may steal his invention. But none Of
the characters has any noticeable re-
semblance to actual human beings and
the plot is fantastic. AS to the de-
scriptions Of horrors within the mad
house, one may accept DR.. Galvin's as
sertion that mot one incident Is
overdrawn or exaggerated" without at
all coming to the conclusion that the
whole system OF caring for the insane
is properly characterized as series
Of living hells."

It's a Long Way to America

English of the book, while Il 10 vigor-
Gus, idiomatic and colorful, sometimes
has odd little dictionary-like twists
The style, on the whole attains dis
tinction.
1t Is impossible to give more than a
brief outline of It's very intricate
and often strongly dramatic-plot.
Guido Won Estritz Is the grandson Of
an Achtunduiersi0er, who was driven
to America in 1S4S, married another
pure German exile, prospered and left
a fortune to his son. This son marries
Nihilist Russian princess. who Is
finally Gailed for assassination. Their
son, Guido, the hero Of this book, is
conceived by his parents, deliberately,
to become a sort of political saviour
Of mankind. He Is to be a Synthesis.
Uniting and somehow harmonjZing the
opposite qualities Of his anarchist
mother and his Prussian American
father (who believes in German order
illness and central government), he Is
tc Eight the fires Of true liberty
throughout the world He is adopted
by an aristocratic German lady, who
marries plebeian German and emil
CRATES with the baby to Hoboken.
Guido grows. up in a thoroughly Ger
man atmosphere, coming but little In
contact with any really American"
people. But he Is taught Russian as
part preparation for his mission"
He turns out to be something of an
infant prodigy, intellectually, and also
Of the finest moral fibre. He is sensi-
tive to all varieties of thought, samples
one belief and creed after another, and
shows marvellously precocious powers
of analysts. Yet he is not at all i'm
possible; one can scarcely call him
overdone.
Up to the outbreak Of the war he
believes in the Kaiser, and naturally
admires all things German, being
soaked in it's kultur. But he is also
half Russian and destined to become
American" The war disilusions
him. He falls in love with a truly
American girl (who, however, has a
German grandfather) and eventually
marries her, enlists as an aviator and
decides to give half his large fortune
to the Socialist movement, not because
he believes in Socialism. but because
he regards it as a necessary irritant
TO keep the American up to his ideals!
Truly, an amazingly complex outcome
But it is oddly convincing.
The intricate sub-plots, half a dozen
OF so. are ably handled, interesting in
themselves, making a rich background
for the protagonist. Many Of the
character sketches fall little short Of
being masterpieces-the old German
doctor. Frau Ursula, the foster mother,
and the American professor, whose
daughter Guido marries. But the chief
value Of the book is in it's analysis Of
the German American and it's vision of
american idealism as II looks to a nom
