MRS. S. ALBURY
PASSES AWAY
AT HOME HERE
SERVICES TO BE
CONDUCTED THIS AFTER
NOON AT FIRST CONGREGA-
TIONAL CHURCH

Mrs. Sarah Sophia Albury, an
aged and most estimable woman
of this city, passed away late yes
terday afternoon at the home of
her daughter, Mrs. B. A. Baker,
92D Fleming street. She had at
tanned the age of 80 years and
came to this city from the BAHIA
mas 10 years ago.
The funeral will be this after
noon at 1880 o'clock, from the
residence to the Congregational
church. Rev. A. F. Eldridge, the
Congregational minister, will of
ficiate. Men who have long been
members of the Congregational
church are being selected to act
as pail bearers, and it is expected
that the service will be largely
attended, for there have been few
women more widely known and
more highly esteemed in this city.
The deceased had been a widow
20 years. She is survived by
three daughters and two sons
Mrs. w: w. Demeritt, Mrs. B. A..
Baker, Mrs. E. E. Ingraham; Will
liam A. Albury, all of Key West,
and r. G. Albury, of Tampa. Sur
viving are also 18 grandchildren
and seven great-grandchildr
Mrs. Albury was one of the
pillars of the local church of the
Congregational denomination, and
was jealous worker for good
along all lines. Intellectually she
had few equals, and she was an
admirable example of energy and
thrift. Members of her family
would gladly have furnished her
every necessity, comfort and
luxury of life, but she took
pleasuTable pride in being self
supporting. Her needlework was
known throughout the country,
and she received frequent orders
from cities of the far north and
extreme west. She always had
ample funds for herself and money
to purchase little presents for her
grandchildren every time they
came to see her, all from the earn
'ngs of her never-tiring needle in
turning out different designs of
fancy work that were in demand
the country over.
Some few months ago Mrs. AL
bury was made lame by fall.
This seemed to crush her spirits
somewhat, and her health COM
menced to fail. She had money
deposited especially to defray her
funeral expenses, had a shroud
made of her own selection, and
had selected two of her most in
innate friends to dress her for
burial.
She will be greatly missed in
the church, the community and
the home.

DARING PRISON BREAK RESULTS
IN KILLING Of four CONV|CTS
GUARDS OPEN FIRE ON
PRISONERS WHO MAKE
ATTEMPT TO ESCAPE
AT ARKANSAS FARM

PINEBLUFF, Ark, May 25.-
The bodies of four convicts today
were the mute reminders of the
boldest prison break ever recorded
at the Arkansas State Farm at
Tucker, about 35 miles from here.
Benny Casey, believed to be the
leader of the quartet, attempting
to escape, has the back of his head
blown off and his face badly mutt
lated.
John Birchfeld has four wounds
in his body, inflicted by a pistol
bullet.
William Bishop. alias Jack
Wade, of Crawford county, Ar
kansas, has his head badly mutt
lated.
Boyed Jewell, of Chicago. the
fourth man, has mis- head almost
severed from his body.
The men endeavored to escape
from two trusty guards at the
farm and were shot and fatally
wounded by the guards soon after
the attempted escape.
Warden Dee Horton, of the
farm, over long distance tele-
phone, last night, would not reveal
the names of the guards who did
the shooting. He declared he had
changed his belief that other con
victs were implicated in the shoot
ing.
Casey, it was learned late last
night, has mother in Chicago
reformatory. She was sentenced
to a term Of I8 months for send
ing dynamite through the mails to
her son.

ing of David w. Burns, record

Casey killed Burns on train near
Alicia early last year, after Burns
had gone to Texarkana to return
him to the state prison in Kansas.
Jewell was sentenced to life on
the farm for bank robbery.
The shooting occurred about
four o'clock yesterday afternoon.
The four convicts were working
with others about a mile from the
prison camp in a cotton field. The
temperature was around the %
degree mark and they declared
they were sick.
Two TRUSTEES, one on foot and
the other riding a horse, were
placed over the men. When in a
small neck of woods about half a
mile from the farm camp, the men
made their break. The TRUSTEES
emptied the magazine of auto
matte shot guns and pistols.
Because Of the fact that It sets
a record for Staying in this county
