ig
Way Eastward.
Monday morning about 9:30
o'clock while Superintendent
Benfield-was in the city on busi
ness, three negroes, Joe Orr,
Ruf us Dorsey and Bob Hawkins,
made a break for: liberty Rm
successfully escaped from the
guards and are now prowling
through the country eluding the
officers.
Frank McCall was in charge
of one division of the gang and
it was while he was engaged
with Bob Cowan, an unruly
member, that the men plunged
into the bushes and made their
escape. McCall was in a posi
tion that he could not leav his
post, and of course the. convicts
were unmolested in their under
taking. .
At 2 o'clock Monday after
noon the three negroes called at
the blacksmith shop of Mr,
Fayette Patterson in No. 5
township, and. wanted their
shackles removed. This delight
ful experience w s denied them
and they continued their course,
going eastward.
Rufus Dorsey had served his
time and would have been re
leased Monday evening at G
o'clock. -
Bob Hawkins was sent up on
the 19th of June for. thirty days,
and had only two days yet to
serve.
Joe Orr is a mean negro and
was sentenced for two years and
had served only four months of
his time. ; -
Superintendent Benfield and
Deputy Townsend pursued the
fleeinsr criminals for so a dis
tance and when twilight had
grown into "darkness they gave
up the chase and returned
to the city empty handed.
Orr is wanted but the two
hobos can go, says Mr. Benfield.
