Lock Up Jailer, Make Escape. . . Two Prisoners at Columbus Make Their Get-Away

Asheville, N.C., Jan. 20—After locking the jailer in a cell, two prisoners make their escape from the Polk county jail at Columbus, according to reports received here. The jailer had entered to serve the prisoners their supper when he was trapped.

Efforts to locate the escaped prisoners have so far failed.
