r- T. U. VAUGHN SAWS
WAY TO LIBERTY.
Man Charged With Heinous
Crimes a FugitiveEscapes
From Greenville
JaiL
* Greenville, June 26.?T. U. Vaughn,
former superintendent of the Odd Pel-^.
lows* Orphan Home, located near
Greenville, and a prisoner in the county
jail since May 31, charged with the
triple crime of "rape, living in adul
tery and procuring an abortion," the
alleged victim being an orphan girl
fmder his care, sawed his way to liberty
early today and tohight flees before
the pursuing arm of the law, with the
. odds greatly in his favor.
At 2 o'clock this morning Jailor
Phillips was aroused by a negro woman
prisoner, who was confined in a
cell on the second floor, above
Vaughn's cell, telling him that some
one was escaping from below.
Before the jailor could reach
"Vaughn's cell, the bird had flown.
*- The alarm was quickly spread and a
determine , but unsuccessful search
hasbeen made throughout the day for
the fleeing prisoner.
It is practically certain that Vaughn
was aided by one or more persons from
the outside, and it is said that Jailor
Phillips rushed out into the yard in
time to see two men go over the jail
yard fence.
The prisoner made his escape by
severing a section of one of the window
bars with a hack saw. A short
distance from the point where he tumbled
over the jail yard fence, he stumbled
and on the spot was found the
saw frame, pieces of the blade, the
prisoner's hat and a letter addressed
to him. The hole through which the
man went measured twelve by seven
inches and only one bar was sawed in
twain.
In the vacant cell today was seen
the section of the bar the man had
sawed out. It had been wrapped in
cloths to deaden the rasping sound of
the hack saw. On the floor of the cell
lay the prisoner's thumbed Bible, a *
oopy of Whittier's poem3 and a copy
of "Pilgrim's Progress."
Some rather ugly looking evidence
of carelessness on the part of somebody,
and which throws suspicion on
fhomaii'atwnthor in AQcififrirtcr Vancrhll
VUVUXIUA q M* v w v* | *** wwww???0 ? ??Q
to escape, has been brought to light today.
It is reliably seated that the
man's brother purchased thu hack
taw and three blades from a local
hardware concern a week ago today,
and Chief of Police Holeombe, who
learned of this purchase at that time,
- stated today that he at onoe notified
the deputy sheriff and the jailor to be
on the alert, as Vaughn's brother had
that da^ purchased a hack saw and
blades.
The fugitive is evidently well supplied
with money, as the records in
the office of the register of mesne cohveyance
show that since he was placed
in jail he mortgaged his home for the
sum of $4,000. He is a man of rather
keen intellect, is well informed, and
the county authorities realize that
they have a difficult task to perform
if they capture liim. As to whether
he is armed they do not kno^\.
The Vaughn case created something
of a sensation in Greenville when the
warrant ior his arre9t was sworn out.
The press, out of consideration for
the Odd Fellows' Order and the orphan
children at the home, and out tf
respect for the sensibilities of the public,
has suppressed a voiume of details
of theheinousnessof the life of Vaughn
is charged with having led at the time
he was in charge of the Orphan Home.
While the warrant against him
charges him with wronging only one
girl, a statement in writing has been
seen by The News and Courier correspondent
wherein this girl states that
of her own knowledge Vaughn wronged
six of the orphans in addition to
herself.

Wall Street Journal.
Not everybody knows that the United
States has a 2,000-mile mail route
operated by dog sleds during a good
part of the year. But such is the fact,
over the trail between Cordova and
Nome, in Alaska. But for these mail
facilities the dwellers of the bleak
Northern Peninsular during the long
winter months would be without mail
service, owing to the close of navigation.
Even as it is, the accumulation
of Alaska mail in the Seattle postoffice,
pending the first steamer's departure
for Nome this season, weighed an
entire ton. How soon the iron horse
will take the place of the sled is a
* 1 ^ TT~ ^ 10 1 ArvVt T-l ff CO ?
question; dud uuuo oaui w iwaiu^ ^variously
in that direction. And this
may even be the last year for the sled,
if congress gives him power to put his
Panama digging outfit to account for
railway braiding in Alaska.
If you are a housewife you cannot
reasonably hope to be healthy or beautiful
by washing dishes, sweeping and
doing Housework all day, and crawling
into bed dead tired at night. You
must get out into the open air and sunlight.
If you do this every day and
keep your stomach and bowels in good
order by taking chamberlain's Tablets
when needed, you should become both
healthy and beautiful. For sale by all
dealers.
