FIEND UNCAUGHT;
HUNTED BY 500
MONTEZUMA, June 14.—Evans
Harp, a negro who escaped from the
Macon county chaingang two weeks
ago, from which time he has beer

Macon and Taylor counties from rob
bery to the most unmentionable, is
yet uncaptured, despite the fact that
a posse of 500 men and a score of
track dogs are scouring the country
for him. A reward of several hundred
dollars, which is being daily increased
has been offered for his capture.
The crime for which he is mostly
wanted was committed in Taylor
county Monday morning about 11
o’clock, at the home of a well known
whie family living near Rupert while
the young wife and infant child of
six weeks were alone, the husband

Animal’s Strong Instinct.
Some animals are remarkable, in
deed, for the wonderful development
of love and devotion they possess and
show toward men. They are so acute
in the sense of their affections that
they seem to perceive the feelings of
their master in advance of his expres
sions. Masters of dumb animals have
often been heard to declare that their
animals were quicker to detect in them
a spirit of anger than were their fel
low men.
Trinidad Lizard Farm.
On the island of Trinidad there is
today a veritable lizard farm which
has all the equipment for the success

ous members of the reptile family

tion to this enterprise a wider search
is being made for toads to help in
crease the world's sugar output.
