Two prisoners confined
in the jail at Centre Point
escaped Monday night by
breaking out in some unknown
manner. Four prisoners
were confined in the jail,
but only two took advantage
of the opportunity to regain
their liberty.
Howell and Doud, sent up
from this place for burglary,
were the ones to leave, and
it is said they went east from
Centre Point. One young
man confined for shooting
into the residence of Pegleg
Jones in Sevier County refused
to leave.

Mayor Leslie states that
frequent complaints are being
made to him of people
throwing all sorts of trash
into the streets and alleys at
different portions of the city,
and that those making the
complaints allege that some
of them are so blockaded
with debris that it is almost
impossible to pass along
them. Mayor Leslie states
that anyone found guilty
of violating the ordinance
prohibiting the obstruction
of the streets and alleys will
be fined.

A bright red bird with
outspread wings atop a
black felt hat spells “style”
in capital letters. A huge
red velvet bow on a black
draped turban offers another
approach to high style
this season.
