Traffic has comilleteiy stop-

ern railroad west of of the Mis-

snow storms which are reported
to be the worst in years.

We hope to see more trees
planted in Deport this spring
than ever before. There is a
tine season in the ground and
trees will have an unusual
chance to live through the dry
season.
A meeting will be held in
Paris next Saturday to adopt or
reject the proposed new road
law that has been prepared. We
trust that Deport will have a
good representation. Commis-
sioner Wharton does not favor
the bill as a Whole.
Prohibitionists in Alabama
are certainly putting on an ex-
tensive campaign, in a letter
to a Deport relative, !fn Alabama
citizen states that there is a
a bill befotje the legislature of1*11
that state to cut down all
cherry trees to prevent the jay
birds from becoming intoxicated.
It will not be long until time
for the election of a mayor and
five aldermen. We are informed
that the present administration
will not serve another year. That
being the case, it is time for our
people to cast about for another
set of men to take the reins of
city government.
The mail order habit is ruin-
Manners and customs of our
people have changed as the
country has become more pros-
perous and more thickly popu-
lated. With these have couie
new means of communication
and enlightenment. Some of
these oldei methods are still in
.use, however. For instance,
there is a statute on our law
books and it is a grave one too,
that needs remedying, and it is
to be hoped that the present
legislature will take some action
toward a remedy. We refer to
the manner of advertising and
making public court proceed-
ures. "Posted in a public place,”
is the way they are usually made
public, but how many people
ever see these notices posted on
the court house door, or on a
tree along side’ . some lonely
road? When the Lamar County
Judge assumed his duties in De-
cember, one of his first official
acts was to have the board on
which notices of court proceed
ure were posted, removed from
the main entrance of the court
house to a less public place,claim-
ing that it was ati eye sore. If
the original law was framed be-
cause it recognized that publicity
in court proceiedure is one of the
requirements of justice, the
posting df these notices these
days hardly constitute publici-
ty, for many of the counties pos-
sess a population of more than
a hundred thousand, and a very
small percentage of these would
see the notice on the court house
door. In fact, very few people
—and most of them are idlers
who have nothing else to do—
ever read these /notices posted
three public ' places in the
county.’.’ This law is a farce
and should be changed. It.
works an injustice, because
it gives the slick rascal ;yi op
portunity to avail himself of the
courts to do injustice to liisfel-
lowraan. All intelligent people
read newspapers, and in view of
these facts, we believe bur law-
makers should enact a law re
quiring that all legal notices
should be "posted” in some
newspaper in the county, and in
the community nearest where

Four men were staggering out of the
*hop with a crated machine when the
convict at the desk asked how many
more piece* their wagon could take.
"One more." replied one of the men.
“Can you handle this long box to

"It's just right to finish up with for

"All right. Take It out when you

Montgomery was alone in the room
uud at his desk Outside he heard the
clatter of the heavy shoes of the truck-
men approaching. He bowed over Ills
desk for * moment and then disap-
peared. A gray form wriggled feet
first Into the box. and the end under
the desk suddenly closed with a slight
click.
The truckmen entered, shouldered
the cofflnllke case and. finding it light-
er than they had expected, hastened
their steps that they plight quickly

They passed out of the shop to the
qondrapgle. heaved the box to the rear
of the loaded truck and roped it on.
It was nearly 11 o'clock, and the
stars wore obscured by clouds. Are
lights made the quadrangle as bright |
as day and Illumined tlie high walls 1
and every nook and corner. Sentries
In their little octagonal boxes stood
with their rifles In hand, lumping a
sharp lookout.
A tenni of (siwerful horses tugged

Montgomery counted on one hour be- 1
fore his tier guard would demand an j
explanation of his absence ut the ma- j
chine shop and then give the alurui.
He estimated tire distance by the j
speed of the horses and ut the proper !
moment released the end of the box. i
Ho drew himself forth and tumbled,
with a sidewise twist to tlie soft, earth i
road. On hands and "knees he scram- j
bled Into tlie shadow of some bushes
and took bis bearings.
The road was deserted and tbo j
house* all dnrk. The only sound was |
the creaking of tbo load of machinery,
which rapidly became fainter and
fainter, lie plunged down tbo putb
and at the bottom of tbe cliff turned

tunnel under tbe prison.
There were six miles to cover to Tar-
rytowu, then three and a half miles
across the Hudson to Nyack and then
a mile and a half westward to the
West Shore railroad, which would take
him to the meadows of Newurk bay.
Bill's Inside lnformnton was that at
West Nyack he would get an express
freight at four In tbe morning. It
wonkl not stop until Homestead was
reached. There some of tbe curs would
be shunted to tbe Erie tracks, and lie

When his feet had cooled and his

three or four miles and from each vil-

The tide was well out. and he found

as he pulled off Ills heavy blouse nud

from Nyack to West Nyack.
A village clock struck the hour of 2.
.Montgomery's heart leaped within
him. He could make the fast freight,

ily. He started from the river nt n

As the men directing the hands of
hunters reported by telephone from
hour to hour that no trace of the es
enped convict had been found the
warden of Sing Sing extended his zone
of search. Inspector Rnuscomhe was
reached by telephone at Ills New York
home. He gave orders for a search of
all railroad yards, and the Oak street
police station wns Instructed over the
telephone to send a man to the little
flat Oliver street and rout out Mike
K« arncy.
At headquarter* the lieutenant In
charge of the detective bureau inform
ed Kearney that there was no reason
for haste.
"Thu Inspector Just telephoned for
you to wait here until ho comes." he
said. "Jim Montgomery, the yegg you
sent up for life, escaped from Ring
King last night and"—
"Wlmt?" gasped Kearney.
The tone of Ills voice wns that of a
man who had been deeply aggrieved.
"How'll he get out?"
"Here’S a morning paper. It will
give you all the details."
Kearney rend the story cnrefiilly and
then went to the Identification bureau
nnd secured nil the records In the ease
of the police against James Montgom-
pants."
“Well, everything Is pretty quiet
now,” said the Inspector, "and we
might Just a* well spend a little time
on the Montgomery escape. Do you
think you can find him?"
“1 gotta good start on the Job,"
Kearney replied. "We got hi* record.
He enn grow whiskers, change his

It Is only n part of an hour's Jour-

Detective Lieutenant Michael Kear-
ney presented himself In the warden’s
office at Sing Sing at 10:30 o’clock tho
morning after the escape of convict

He Rhowed his authority to the
warden anil said abruptly. "We put
him In here for life, anil we want to

The warden flushed, hut controlled
his auger.
"Well, this lsu't exactly the plnce t*'-

"Did he have any help from the out-

back to a window tilled with sunlight
The old convict saw him, hut could
not make out his features because of
the glare In his eyes. He sensed the
human bloodhound In, him, however.
He recognized the big feet and droopy
form of the plain clothes man and was
fully acquainted with the old trick of
silling with the buck to the light
Bill nodded to the warden. —
"Hello, Bill,” wns Kearney’s greet-
ing. The detective hud recognized him
ns an old offender.
Bill turned to him nnd wnlked so
that the light would not ho directly In
Ids eyes. From a better position he
studied the detective's face a moment
“The detective here would like to ask
you some questions," said the warden.
"How much more time you got to
serve. Bill?" asked Kearney.
"Ten years and then some,” was the
answer.
’’Marks against you?”
The old burglar hesitated.
"He ain’t got no strl|>es on his arm,
warden.” said Kearney. "Would you
mind lindlng out what tlie prison
charges were against him?" *
The deputy warden furnished the
record. It showed that on his own

"Yourgot the suit still, warden?” nak-

"Yes."
The deputy wns sent for It
"Tr/ on the coat. Bill," ordered Kear-
ney when the clothes wepe brought
him.
Bill, n smothered volcnn'o of anath-
emas, did as he was Instructed. The
sleeves of the coat reached barely be-
yond the elbows of his gorfiln-llko
.arms, nml so tight was It that buttons
and buttonholes were a. good six inch-
es apart.
’’You didn’t expect to escape In
Hint'/” asked Kearney,
The convict Iguorcd the question.
’’You made It for your cell mate who

“What are you kicking about?” de-
manded Bill, his suuken eyes flashing
hate ns he spoke. "Ain't l taking the
extra time?”
"Hut you don’t have to. Bill," coaxed
Kearney. "You can get that time tak-

The bribe was offered.

him to control himself.
