Ashland Progress July 9, 1915
Two negro prisoners, occupants of the county jail, made a bold dash for freedom 
Tuesday morning but, by the aid of a hastily collected bunch of fleet footed 
runners, they were soon caught and returned to their cells. When Mr. C. J. Hamlin 
opened the cell in which they were confined to give them their breakfast they 
made a break for the opening and attempted to land Mr. Hamlin on the inside of 
the cell, obviously intending to leave him fastened up. Failing in this 
undertaking they ran past him, made a hasty exit through the outer door and ran 
for the woods just north of town, but were soon overtaken.
