He Was Arrest<•<! Charged it li
Stealing Horses.
Readers of the Di. mock at will re-
member an article a few weeks a ,
concerning Rob I- Rogers, a nfeie ln>y,
being arrested and placed in jail char-
ged with stealing a horse. Sunday
evening this young lad added the
crime of jail breaking to that of horse
stealing. It is Jailor Jackson's cus-
tom to admit the prisoners to the jail
corridor during the day. At night hi
secures them in the cells. Sunday
evening while admitting the piisoners
to the various cells, Rogers secreted
himself in such a way as to be over
looked by Mr. Jackson. After locking
them in, Mr. Jackson went to bin sup.
per. During the absence Rogers gain-
ed his admittance to the "run around,
He then removed a window and made
his escape.
It was not discovered that he had
escaped until early Monday morning.
Sheriff Downing sent postal cards to
all neighboring towns, however at th.s
writing (Friday morning) he had not
been heard of.
13efore leaving Rogers procu.ed I. 1
Rogers, coat, hat, vest and shoes and
R. L. Walkers pants. These prison
ers claim that he stole them, but Jail
or Jackson is firm in his belief that
they gave the articles to Rogers !;«•-
fore he left the jail.
Rogers is but a boy fourteen years
of age and if his experience in the j.ul
here will be of any benefit to him, it
may be the best that he escaped, ah <.e
was too young to be sent to the peni-
tentiary and we have no Refo: ai

Times Journal.
Policeman Jackson passed away
at 2:45 o'clock t his alternoon after
twelve weeks intense Buffering and
untold agony. He had been dying
since Saturday noon, %and all the
forenoon had had one convulsion
after another until the end came.
He was conscious until almost the
last, and yesterday whiten told by a
neighbor that he looked better, be
sadly trailed and shook his head.
He had wasted away until he had
become a mere skeleton and the
wonder has been that he lasted as
long as be .did.
Several week* ago when Mr.
Jackson was thought he was dying
he made his'statement in regard to
the shooting, which has already
appeared in the papers.
Mr- Jackson was about sixty
years ot age. He leaves a wife and
two grown daughters who mourn
his death.

Considerable excitement was occasioned in Norman last Wednesday
afternoon by an announcement that a message stated that five American
war ships had sailed from New York at 2, o'clock p. m., under sealed orders.
It is generally believed that the object of the squadrons departure was to in-
tercept the Spanish flotilla enroute to our shores. When the shins meet, a
battle will follow.
A special to the Globe-Democrat from Key West under date of April
12th. says: "News has reached Havana of the massacre of fifty recom entra
dos at Escainbra. Permission was given the reconcentradosin Santa Clara
last Wednesday, to return to their devastated homes. They issued from the
city and encamped at Escambra, erecting palm huts. Trusting the Spaniards
they began anew the struggle for existence.
To escape starvation the fugitives killed several head of cattle out of
a drove ol hundreds which the Spaniards had never been able to procure
so closely are they guarded by the insurgents. This was made the pietext for
a massacre.
Thursday night a troop of Spaniards dashed into the camp, ro le down
the fleeing men and women and slashed them to death, A few est "-ed into
the woods but fifty were killed and many more wounded.
The reconcentrados are now withouthope. They believe that the Span-
iards promises were but a plot to inveigle them into the fields so that the \
might be slaughtered."
A band of insurgents entered Mantanzas City April, 12th. and after a
lively engagement with the garrison they fled, leaving one dead and threi
prisoners.
If Madrid authorities had gotten a glance at congress last Wednesday, tlu
Democrat believes a reconciliation would have resulted. Members of tin
lower house were hunting trouble. They called each other liars, hurled
books, ink stands and chairs across the hall and acted naughty generally.
The trouble was brought about by a resolution in line with the president's
message, authorizing the executive to use the navy and militia to stop war in
Cuba. The resolution passed.
The following resolutions were passed by a vote of 322 to 19:
"Whereas, the government of Spain for three years past has been waging
war on the island of Cuba against a revolution by the inhabitants thereof,, miUee| viBiletl s„rman last week
