MEMBER OF STARR
 GANG BREAKS JAIL
Dave LOckhart Makes Spectacular Getaway at Harris0n-Gun Is
 Struggled to Him.

Harrison, March 13.-Dave Lock- hart, alleged to have been member of the Henry Starr gang when Starr attempted to hold up the Peoples Ma tional bank here last year, escaped from the Boone county jail about 6 o'clock tonight. Lockhart is at large tonight somewhere in the woods east of here and armed with two revolv- CTS.
 The escape was rather dramatic. When D. z. Curnutt. jailer, opened Lockhart's cell tonight to take the prisoner his supper, he found himself looking down the muzzle of 38-cali- use his own gun and surrendered to the prisoner. Tn command of the jail by authority of his gun and the re- volver that he had taken from the jailer, Lockhart forced a son of Cur mutt, who was in the jail at the time, to take his place in the cell.
 Lockhart then ordered Curnutt to accompany him out of the jail and across the Turkey creek bridge, a short distance from the jail After they had crossed the bridge Lockhart told Curnutt to return to tho jail. Then he started running down the road.
 It is believed that Lockhart is head ing for Oklahoma and he may have joined a confederate in the woods. It is believed that some member of the gang brought the gun Lockhart used in making his escape and passed it to him through the window.
 Lockhart was arrested about a month ago at Huntington and was brought here He was indicted for participation in the Peoples bank hold-up, in which Starr was fatally wounded, and was in jail awaiting trial. Since having been brought here a warrant has been served on Lockhart charing him with forgery committed in Pope county. It is said that he also is wanted in Oklahoma.

The recent furry in Big Ten cir

attention to the National Collegiate
Track and Field meet. and the object
for which the meet was founded. 1t

Slow OF Growth.
The original idea in the founding
of the track and field meet was that
it would be restricted to the winners
in recognized conferences. While no
opposition occurred at the founding
of the meet. the collegiate rivalry
and the interests of some political
athletic bodies outside of the college
! body proper. led to a fight and a lack
of participation by certain bodies. For
this eason the meet was thrown open
to any college that wished to enter a
team. While this did not prevent the
