NEGRO CONVICT MAKES ESCAPE
Cots the Throats of Two Dogs Who
Porsue Him.
(From Friday’s Dally.)
Eugene Jones, a desperate negro
convict serving a Ilfs sentence,
enpr-d from the Berrien convict
camp Friday morning. The edn-
victe wera working on the road west
of Adel and while near the swamp
known as “No Man's Friend,” Jones
dashed Into the thick growth and
was soon lost to view, so dense Is
the swamp. As he ran Into the
bushes a guard shot st him, but It
Is not thought that the load took
effect.
The dog* pursued Jones, and he
cut the throats of two of them with
razor, killing one of them on the
spot The other one came out of
the swamp and lived several hours.
The razor which Jones used was
found banting on some bushes.
There were three dogs in the
chase, but the other dog was not
found. The Lowndes county dogs
were secured, but they failed to get
on Jones’ track.
Tt Is said that the negro was seen
in Lowndes county late that after
noon with the other dog which went
Into the swamp after Jonee that
morning. This dog was a young
puppy and Jones probably made
friends with him.
A message was received from
Wliigham Monday stating that Jones
hnd been arrested there. Commis-
stnner Lovett went sfter him, hut
the man under arrest was not Jones.
Jones was sent up from Clay
county for murder.—Adel News,

The Royal Visit to Scotland,
Edinburg, July 15.—From every
corner of the land O’ cakes pilgrims
are making their WHV ir /n,l:iv to
“Auld Reekie” to take part in the
welcome to the King. His majesty,
with the Quean, the Prince
Wales and Princess Mary, will ar-
rive In Edinburg early Monday
morning for a live days’ visit to Scot
land, which will mark the final stage
of the royal tour of the United King
dom, following the coronation.
Preparations which have been
der way for months are virtually
completed, and when th* royal train
steams Into th* Caledonian railroad
station at 6 o’clock Monday morn
ing the machinery will be set In mo
tion for what ie expected to be one
of the most remarkable demonstra-
tlons of tbe kind that Scotland has
seen in years.
The royal family will reside In
Holyrood Palace during their etay
In Edinburgh. It will be remem
bered that in 1903, nine months af-
ter their coronation, King Edward
and Queen Alexandra came to Scot
land and beld a levee and court at
Holyrood—for tbe first time In
eighty year*. Their majesties Jld
not, however, take np their resi
dence in the palace, bat occupied
Dalkeith bouse, which was placod at
their disposal by the Duke and
Duchess of Buccleuch.
Old Holyrood Palace, which under
King George Is now to hqgQsne once
more brilliant with regal eeremo-
nice, waa originally a convent, sup
posed to hake been founded In 1128
by David I. Th# legend Is that
the king was hunting In the forest
of Drnmshough when he was
tucked and would have been killed
by * stag that had gone mad, but
for tbe miraculous rood or cross
that suddenly appeared and caused
the animal to flee. In gratitude for
hla deliverance, David endowed the
church of th# Holy Rood for the
Canons of St. Augustine, giving
them the privilege of erecting
borough between their church and
the city gate, now known as Canon-
gate. Th# abbey seems to have be
come a regular royal residence in
the time of James IV., and James
V. built the apartments known ns
Queen Mary’s. With the exception
of these apartments the whole place
was burned at the close of the civil
war, and Charles II. erected the
present palace.
In view of the forthcoming royal
visit extenslvo Improvements have
hesn mad* at the palace. The
scheme adopted Included th* open
ing up of three of th* state rooms,
overlooking the quadrangle on the
east eld* and the Installation of
electric light, hot water heating ap
paratus, and telephonic communi
cation between various apartments.
Tho -royal apartments have been re
decorated, the aervanta'-nv ’.ommoda-
ttona have been improved end the
whole building has been over
hauled and cleared.
On Tuesday next the King and
Queen will pay a visit to Edinburg
Castle. This edifice, ancient though
tt looke, la not old as It seems. The
greater part of It was built since
1B73 Queen Mary's room and St.
Margaret’s Chapel are the oldest
parts remaining.

ber mulct came In tbla week, to be
