ESCAPE FROM JAIL.-The Columbus Enquirer
OF the 9TH instant, says "on Wednesday night
last, four prisoners escaped from the county Jail in
this city, and have since not been heard Of Two
OF them, probably as accomplished villains as ever
broke into store, out of JAIL were confined on
charge of burglary. Their names are Phelan and
Brown. Another named Toller, was under suspi-
clon of riding horse that did not belong to him
and the fourth, one of the Browns-of whom we
know nothing-for kicking up row generally
The prisoners charged with murder, three or four
in number, did not escape. The sheriff has offered
liberal reward for the arrest and return of the fgi
. tives. All good citizens who desire to keep what
they honestly work for, will do well to look out for
Phelan, and the first named Brown. They are CO.
partners in rascality, and come to this city under
pretence of exhibiting themselves adopts in the
vugu science of boxing. 1t is said that this is not
the first time they have, like true Jail birds, escaped
from the public cage"
