farmer, living near here, was on
Tuesday of last week, named a guard

have prevented the bold attempt of
escape on July 20. when John Lu-
cas- and Norman DeshieIds, the for
mer white and the latter colored,
made their dash for liberty. Under
the law only eight guards can be
named in addition to the warden and
deputy warden. The quota is filed
In that extra clerks have been named
who supplant the guards.

licans, last fall. this is the first ap-
pointment that the Democrats have

services no longer are required.
