differences over thp platform Is In the

"FROZEN"
Feet of Great Williams Fooled
Police.
On Monday morning the police offic
ials of this1 city wero notified to be on
tho lookout for Great Williams, Park
ersburg's notorious colored mlln.
Williams is a tough customer who
has made a long record of escapes from
the officers and from punishment for
ids crimes. '
On one occasion he walked out of
Squire Jones' office In Parkersburg
while he was being tried. He went out
of the back door and, althojigh half a
dozen officers weie thero and gave
chape, ho outran them1 all and escaped.
Half -a dozen times afterwards he was
surrounded at his home in shantjr
boats but ho would take desporplej

BWgaJHkffrtt.W.t'?.MBSL
was wnen no escaped rrpm Capt. Men?
en and Had Dlis one night last winter ,
He got over into Ohio and made his'
way to Steubenvllle, O. His feet were
badly frozen and he was soon after
wards arrested.brought hero and jailed.
His feet were In a terrible condition fo,
some time, and he lost a toe or two. ,
Williams was tried and convicted ot
laiceny at this term of. court. This
morning his attorney J. A. Watson.ar
gued a mo(.lon to set aside the verdict
and tlje court took time to pass on it,
directing tho officers to take the pris-,
oner back to Jail. It has generally
been remarked that Williams would at
tempt to make his escape and prosecut
ing attorney Moss, as the prisoner was
leaving the court room in charge of
deputy sheriff Conley and turnkey Hel
flnger, told some one that they had bet
ter watch 'Williams carefully or ha
would get away. When the two offic
ers and tho prisoner got tjt the corner
of Juliana and Fourth, Williams darted
down Fourth and turned north into the
Jackson alley. Tho officers wero so
dumbfounded that Williams had almost
reached the alley before they started
in pursuit.
When they got to the alley Conley
fired one shot and Williams darted Into
Mote Brown's livery stable, ran
through It, jumping through a hole In
the fence and through a private yard
onto Ann-Btreet, where he stumbled
and toll. Another shot was fired, but
Wlllams was up and off like a flash
down Fifth to Bentley & Gerwlg's lum
her yara, When tho officers got there
tho crowd surrounded tho lumber piles,
but Williams was on his way up the
river. The lasttseen of him In town
was at tlie foot of Eighth street.
Several police officers got a buggy
and drove up along t)ie Ohio river bot
tbmcibut Williams' had disappeared.
The telephone and telegraph lines were
kept hot in every direction and a deter
mined effort will be made to land the
fugitive.
As soon as Sheriff Dudloy was noti
fied of the escape h"o"bffered a reward of
$25 for the capturo of tho prisoner.
Williams had fooled all of them with
ljis frozen feet, limping badly all
through tho trial, but ho lost tho limp
as boon as he began running.

Newport, R. I., July 8. If the vic
tory of Constitution over the Columbia
and Independence in the .first of th
three corhered races on Saturday was
significant and definite, her winning to
day may well be characterized as over

less.
The approach of evening again found
tho committee boat anchored far out in
Narragahsett Bay.tedlously waiting for
the Boston boat to cross, while her riv
als were well up the harbor on the
way to their moorings.
The new Herreshoff boat beat Colum

the Independence was almost a full

that tho railroads which haul bltumin .
