THfc ESCAPED JOHN JONES.
Was Killed In The Capturing- He Pulled
A Shot Gun And Was Promptly Shot.
John Jones is not dangerous any
more. It was he who knocked so
much sense out of «>ur jailor with a
beer bottle and so much into him
with experience.
Since his escape pursuers have
not let the grass grow’ under their
I feet a minute. But Hughes, who
J can almost tell what a darkey is
thinking about under given circum
stances followed him every turn he
j made until be spotted him. Three
j of them left 'lie six down near
j Thompson bridge and made for Au-
J gusta. Hughes v\ ho is guard in *he
county chain gang was put on the
detective force and he began at
once to manoeuvre for Jones, the
escaped villain who had assaulted a
young negro girl. He had not been
tried for this crime, but it was a
bad case and he was doomed to con
viction
Hughes guessed he would aim for
Augusta where h > had previously
rendezvoused. His surmises were
true and Jones and tw’o others got
to Augusta a little bit ahead of
Hughes. The three had scattered
before the detective had gotten to
the place. Jones, the object of pur
suit had doubled back towards
Burke county and at once his me-
anderings were taken up and he
was followed almost step by step to
his step-father’s house where he
was sure be was safe from pursuit.
His doubling back he supposed had
put his pursuers, if any, clear off.
His father and other relatives lived
not far from Keysville in Burke
county.
Last Saturday evening Hughe-
had gotten his game well spotted.
Just after dark he, with his brother
and Mr, Toole came up near the
house and saw a man cutting wood
As soon as he laid down the axe
and went inside they surrounded it.
The old man inside hearing a noise
came outside to reconnoiter closing
the door after him. He was face to
face with Hughes before he knew it
and was told to throw open the door
instantly,(he object being to surprise
Jones and take him without harm
ing him before he could get to any
weapons. A mulatto fellow was in
side and as soon as the door was
opened he jumped behind,but Jones
the escape, was sitting by the fire
which was burning brightly on the
hearth. Seeing Hughes he rose and
leaped for a gun lying on a bed
near by. It was a muzzle loader
and used percussion caps. This
probably saved Hughes’ life, for he
brought up the gun and it snapped
Hughes tackled and fired at him
with his pistol, the ball striking
Jones In the shoulder, Jones turn
with the gun and ran out the rear
door where young Hughes was sta
tioned. He didn’t shoot for fear of
hitting his brother in the house.For
the same reason Hughes did not
shoot for fear of hitting his brother
outside the door. The negro got off
about ten or fifteen steps and turned
with the other barrel of his gun and
shot at young Hughes, but the load
passed over his head Your.gHughes
then shot three times, two bails tak
ing effect. The desperado ran, but
did not go far before he fell and
soon died. The mulatto feilow es
caped and could not be found. He
undoubtedly had fixed everything
for Jones to kill anyone who might
attempt to take him, but all were
off guard when the posse suddenly
came on him unawares.
The posse through Hughes, the
guard, reported at once what had
happened and waited for the coro
ner to hold an inquest next day,
which was done by Justice R. E.
Melton. After a careful inquiry the
jury found according the facts that
the killing was unavoidable and
justifiable.
The negro was a desperate, cruel
wretch as his conduct had fully de
monstrated and he could not have
been taken without the greatest
danger but by beffig surprised.
His Sixty-Fifth Birthday.
Judge E F. Lawson, one of
Waynesboro’s oldest and best citi
zens reached his 65ih birthday last
Tuesday, the 221 instant, and whiie
the years go by the Judge does not
look a day older than he did ten
years ago, and one would hardly
realize that the Sight of time had
been so rapid. Mrs Lawson gave the
Judge an eiegant birthday dinner in
honor of this event The table was
beautifully decorated: in the center
sat a large, handsome cut glass bowl
in which stood a tall cut glass vase,
Around the vase the howl was a
filled with beautiful violets, while
pure, white japonicas crowned the
vase. The effect was a most beau
tiful and pleasing one to behold
The good things of this life were
bountifully served and all went
merry around this festal board, and
wishes for the return of many more
birthdays tor the Judge were in
dulged in. The Citizen force re
turns thanks to Mrs. Lawson for a
kindly remembrance*

When you see an advertisement
like the abnve you may know that
! some part of it is just a little song
| and dance kind of grand stand play
like—that is put up to catch the
! unwary and lead the guileless into
- paths that are dark and unseemly.
You may know that some part of
it, either the quantify or quality, is
beyond the limits of truth and
ranges in the datk and dreary wi’-
deruess of prevarication.
Now for you to find out which
part of our statement is gone afar
off to countries foreign to truth you
will have to come and see—then
probably if wo can’t out-talk you
we’ll own up “to the corn.” Here is
another trial.
