Howey they seem to have many other nam and are suspected of being crimin of a very dangerous character. T Columbia Recorder gave Riggs a sE tence of ninety days. and Logue o of sixty. The latter begged him make the sentences even, stating th w<er: "pals'' and wished to leave t town togcther. Thereupon, the F corder made them even by giving I gue thirty days more. Logue and 'Riggs were contfined the city jail. Sometime during F day night, while the criminals we singing songs and laughng hearti apparently in great joy, they wE at the same time breaking the loe which kept them from freedom. hat seems to have been a little < fort for them they secured their i lease. and while every police offic in ihe city of Columbia thought the locked up securely, Riggs and Log were leaving the dust of' that city I hind them. ,Saturday morning, just a little I fore nine o'clock, Chief of Poli Adams, ccf this city, received a te gram from the chief in Columbia, questing him to look out for the i eaped prisoners. Chief Adams formed the privates of the forea the -message. and zave them instri tions- to watch every stranger comi to town. A eouple of hours after the te gram had been received Offie Franklin, who is very much of a i t:ecive, got news that a couple strange fellows had been about t depot and Davis' shops. He ma' haste to get himself in that localil and was rewarded by finding the ye fellows he was after. Mr. Frank] suceeded in arresting both the m and started to the police station wi them. Riggs, 'however, jerked loo from the officer and made a da for liberty. Of course, the polic man had to look aifter Logue, a.nd e could do to toward stopping Rig was to shoot at him. The shots ha no effect upon the criminal thoug aid he seemed to be gone for goc Mr. Franklin brought Logue to t1 uard-house, where he was locked u aiid gave notice to his brother offiee of Riggs' escape. All the policemen immediately g busy. Mayor La.ngford and C1e: Werts turned themselves into poll ffliers for awhile also. They sea fered abou.t in all directions that i ugitive had possibly taken. Polic man B'urton and Mr. Werts happe ed to go the right way. These ge' lemen, after considerable search, 1 cated Riggs in 'one of the old tobaci barns near ,t'he Wells woods. Ti fugitive was taking life easy in ti old barn, thinking he was preti well hid, waiting for night to mal his way further. Messrs. Werts at Buron, with drawn weapons, ente d the buildiog, and covering Rig; with tirer pistols, demanded his su render. This he did at once, r narking, "You all have pretty got nerve to come on me that ,way." As Officer Burton was plseing h prisoner in the hack, he onee agal Iried to make a break to get awa; lit the policemaai held on te him, a~ in a few minutes he was in a cell at joining that of his eomrad~e.

Clark and his wife ed left in the afternoon for their home, rd expecting to find the creeks low r. enough to permit them to cross with rs, out any danger. When they came to ils the Meredith creek. just beyond the he village of Helena, they found it was n- up some, but as it was only a small ne stream, they thought there. would be to no difficulty in corssing, as they had ey no load on the wagon. he The little stream was much deep e- e:r than they counted. on,. however, o- and hardly had they gone into it be fore the swift waters were carrying in them and their team down streath. ri- The horse and mule struggled 'hard re to pull to the other bank but the Ly, strong current and wagon were too re much for them.

It seems that Mr. Hunter for thirty-one years had assessed to him ninety-two acres er of land more than* he really owned. of He did not discover this fact until a he few months ago when he had cause th have a survey made of his planta tion. At his request Auditor Crom er has prepared a statement showing Sthe assessment per acre, thei number mof mills levy, and the .sum of over Spaid taxes for each yeal-.
