DOGS SHOWED
NO
APTITUDE FOR
MAN HUNTING.

Ardmore, I. T., May 23.-The Ardmoreite says of the escape of Fred McGuire and Bob Boyer:

In regard to the fugitives who escaped from the United States jail here Friday morning there is but little to know.

The dogs were brought back to town Friday evening, it being very apparent that they had no training in man hunting. At certain places the tracks of the two men were plainly seen by the naked eye, but the dogs took no heed of them.

The officers divided, some following the trail, others having gone ahead to the former "running ground" of the criminals,

No tidings came in yesterday. The officers after the boys are all determined men-Hammer, Garrett, Booker, McLemore, Kendall and others-and it is safe to venture that if they ever get within sight or hearing of the fugitives they will bring them in.
