Knocks Jailor Baxter Down and
Takes (o (he Tall Timber
West of Town.
Last Saturday night about nine
o'clock people in the vicinity of the
court house square were startled by-
three posto! shots which seemed to q j
come from the jail. An investiga-
tion showed that four prisoners,
led by Arthur Sanders, who was in
tor the murder of John Howard,
had escaped.
Uncle Joe Baxter tells of the es-
cape as follows: He had ordered
the prisoners into their cells in the
cage preparatory to
prisoners would make for, but with
no avail, the getting away was as
complete as though the earth had
opened and swallowed the fugitives.
All day Sunday the search was
continued and Monday evening word
came from near the Howard farm
southwest of Midlothian that it was
thought either Arthur or Sam San-
ders, for whom a reward is also
offered, were being harbored there.
The place was surrounded by mem-
bers of the A. H. T. A. under
charge of Captain Owensby and
Kdmundson and Deputy
Sheriff McElHinney and Chandler
Herr went out with a number of
Kragg-Jorgenson rifles and plenty
of amunition. Sheriff Martin ar-
rived on the evening train and im-
mediately left for the Howard
place. Upon his arrival the guard

banged the heavy iron door of his , eral othcrs th,n mado a j drf
cell open against Joe, then with a t0 ;mother the H * f ■
piece of stove wood hit him a stun-
ning blow just over the left ear. A
< olored prisoner, as pre-arranged,
jumped out of his cell at the same
time and hit Joe again. Joe fell to
the floor partially stunned and the
prisoners, four in number, made a
rush for liberty running over Mrs.
Baxter, who happened to be in the
jail office. Just as the prisoners
rushed through the gate Jailor Bax-
ter scrambled to his feet, secured
his sixshooter and fired at them,
then fired twice more for an alarm.
"The prisoners ran around thc south
side of the jail thence went toward
the tall weeds and brush near Hale's
park and though officers were close
upon them they were lost sight of
in the darkness.
At the time of the delivery Deputy
Sheriff Buzzi, Marshal Ward and
several others were in Probate
Judge Wagoner's office but a short
distance from the jail. When they
heard the shots it sounded as
though they were fired down on
the street and the whole party-
rushed in that direction and so just
missed seeing the escape. It was
but a minute, however, until the
mistake was discovered and chase
giVen with the above result.
The'phones were then used and
all neighboring towns notified as
were nearly all the patrons of rural
'phones. Search parties were dis-
patched to all crossroads, to neigh-
boring towns and to all points

southeast of Chandler and made
another search with the same dis-
couraging result. It is thc opinion
of many that the Sanders boys are
being housed by friends near Chan-
dler, while others think they hav
got clear away and are on. their
road to Mexico.
A reward of $50 for each of the
Sanders boys has been offered,
well as $25 for Jones, the other
white prisoner. The two colored
men who escaped were in for as-
sault.
A close watch is still being kept
for all of them and it is possible
that they will be apprehended,
though it looks doubtful.

the
farmers of Lincoln
to a goodly number, are
gathered at the district court room
and are discussing and listening to
addresses by men prominent in ag-
ricultural work.
One of the best moves ever made! Journal,
by the producers of Lincoln county |
was the organization of the Farm
Ms' Institute. It tends, to bringI
together those upon whom the wel-
fare uf this community, to a very-
large extent, depends. At these
meetings they get together and
talk over experiences and experi-
ments along all lines of farming.
Each year, also, are present men of
of acknowledged reputation along
Drillers, at Work.
Last Monday the drillers began
work again at the oil well south of
town. This well has been tied up
for some time on account of the
tangle gotten into by the business
management, bat now everything
is arranged satisfactorily, money
has been raised to put the, well
down 800 feet farther, anil the
merry chug of the dril'l can be
heard day and night by the people
living in that part of town, and

wanted on a horse stealing charge
for some time.
As Buzzi drove up to the place he
saw whom he supposed to be Will
Sanders, a brother of the outlaws,
out in the yard (Buzzi had never
seen Sam and did not know him)
he spoke to him and said "Will,
I want to talk to you." The party j Oscar lngold,

Einbry's Good Talk.
The EIReno American says of
John Embry's address in that city:
"The speech was clear and able
and was well received by the audi-
ence. The line of thought was that
the republican party places a high
value on the man, guards his rights,
protects his liberty, educates his
children and establishes policies to
insure his prosperity.
"On the other hand from- an ex-
amination of the states that are
solidly democratic it is apparent
that the policies of the democratic
party restrict the franchise to a
favored few, and also tend to less
general education.
"Mr. Embry therefore contends
that democracy's claim that it is
for the people more than any other
party is only good in theory and is
contradicted by the facts. He
urged our people to do what they
could to put the constitution in the
hands of the republican party. He
said Mr. Johnston stands for what
is best in government.
"Mr. ICmbryis an able and highly-
honorable gentleman and made
friends on his visit here."

Walter Steward, a young farmer
residing over near Sparks, came
to Chandler last Saturday, imbibed
freely of different brands of oh-be
joyful and wound up the day's
spree by entering thc store of
Hocker-Kerfoot purloining there-
from a pair of trousers belonging to
Cashier Jas. Simpson. As Steward
left the store the suspicious look-
ing swelling in the region of his
suspender buckle attracted the at-
tention of Salesman John Wagoner
who kept his eye on the fellow and
saw him drop the trousers into a
buggy. Marshal Ward was found
and Steward arrested. On the way
to the court house the prisoner got
boisterous and handed Dave a left
hander on the jaw. Dave retaliated
by placing a neat right hander be-
tween Steward's eyes which effect-
ually quieted that individual. lie

oner, plead guilty to petit larceny

farming who tell of their kuowledge
and give results of their observa-
tions. That those present benefit
by these lectures and discussions is
proven by the increased interest
shown in theraising and marketing
of a diversity of crops in this im-
mediate vicinity. For instance
where a few short years ago they
thought it necessary- to raise noth-
ing but cotton to make money by-
farming they now know that they
can, and 'do, derive more profit
from their lands by diversification,
by paying- more attention to stock
raising, by looking more closely in-
to the fruit question and by keeping
a close tab on the markets of the
country. All these things result di-
rectly and indirectly from Farmers'
Institutes and like organizations.
Every farmer should be a member,
every farmer's wife should attend
the meetings as she will derive as
much benefit therefrom as will the
husband.
The corps of speakers scheduled
fot the meeting today and tomorrow'
are exceptionally good and we hope
to see a big attendance.

Just as we g-o to press word comes from out in the Howard

at the critical moment one of the guards got a shell fast in his j
