“Shine” Huggins and “Slick” James, the two negroes who escaped from the chain gang last week after overpowering L.D. Fryling, a guard, are still at liberty. Continued search for the negroes has failed to develop any clue that might lead to their arrest.
While officers of the county have come to the conclusion that the negroes in all probability have left this part of the country, they are nevertheless keeping a watch for them on the hope that some development will lead to their arrest either in the state or elsewhere.
The negroes escaped early Thursday morning after overpowering Mr. Fryling and taking his gun from him. They got possession of the gun after practically choking Mr. Fryling into insensibility.
