GREENVILLE NEGROES
ATTEMPT JAIL DELIVERY
Attempt of Twenty to Escape Thwart
ed by Two Keepers in Courageous
Manner...
Greenville, July 23.?An organized
attempt of twenty negroes to
effect a general jail delivery was
thwarted at the Greenville County
jail this morning. When Keepers
Batson and Black stepped inside the
door of the ward where the negro
men are kept they were attacked by
two negroes, who jumped from their
cells just as the keepers unlocked the
deor. Keeper Batson floored the negro
who attacked him with a blow to
the stomach and Keeper Black managed
to push the negro who attacked
him back to his cell door and to
hold him there while Keeper Batson
locked the door. In the meantime
Jailer Christopher, who was armed
arrived on the scene and the attempted
delivery was put down.
The twenty negroes in the ward
had picked the two negroes who attacked
the keepers to pave the way
for the delivery.
Another attempt at escape from
the Greenville jail was discovered
yesterday when a large hole was
found dug out half-way through the
thick wall of the upper story. It had
been made by Mrs. A. H. All1'son, alleged
"dope" peddler, and a negro
woman, who was acting as her nurse
during a spell of sickness. The two
had used crude instruments and an
electric iron to drill the hole, and
had covered up their work with a
dry goods box pnd bed clothes. They
would have had the hole through the
wall and would have effected their escape
in the course of a few more
hours.
vii n*. A n p ?r
no do city vn noot or town
Chicago, July 23.?A hobo city was
found today on the roof of the town.
Detective Sergeant Moran followed a
tramp up the fire escape at the Congress
hotel today to see what business
the latter could have on the
roof. v
As he swung his foot over the
parapet he saw hundreds of men
there, some sleeping, some promenading
and some reading the papers.
"This beats the parks," one 0/ the
the men told him. "The accommodations
are swell. It's not so hot and
not so noisy as on the ground and
besides it's a little more exclusive and
uncommon."The
detective took a look over the
roofs of the other skyscrapers and
found the same conditions prevail.
"If it's exclusiveness you fellows
want,"" he told them, "I know a
slick little room over at the centra!
station."
The exodus to the parks has begun
again.
NEWEST PROFITEERING
SCHEME INVESTIGATED
Chicago, July 24.?A new form of
profiteering was charged here today
and the city council ordered an investigation
into the sale of artificial
ice.
"Ice makers are only half freezing
their ice, which permits them to
make double the amount at a given
cost,"* councilman Franz charged be r~?
