Lucky Capture After Jail Escape in Fairfield News
Three Van Buren county men charged with grand larceny escaped from the county jail between 1 40 and 4 o clock.

Deputy Barnes halted a freight, recognized the fugitives on a Pleasant Plain bound train, and recaptured them. The three are to be returned to the county jail with steel bolts now in place.
