EscAPEp FROM PRIsoS.-From DR..
C. B. Luce, Of Genoa, We learn that W.
II. Pierce escaped from the Douglas
county Jail on Thursday night. He
made his escape BY the use ola piece
OF wagon tire and a block OF wood,
which served the purpose Of a chisel
and mallet. and with these articles
made an opening through the brick
wall, through which he crawled, I'M
passed through a hall and room TO
an outside window, through which ne
made good his escape. It appears that
there was no guard on duty ut the time
and but one other prisoner In the jail,
and he laboring under n fit Of delirum
t,emens, leaving the prisoner every
thing his own way. The fact was not
discovered until morning, when an at
tempt was made to telegraph Sheriff
SWlft. of Carson, but IL was ascer-
tanned not to be in working condition.
We were unable to learn whether the
prisoner was pursued or not. The
Jury, It will be remembered. returned
a verdict OF murder in tho second de-
gree, on Thursday. aud the sentence
vas to have been pronounced OH Non
day next. Those who assisted In
Plerce's escape deserve the punish
ment that would have been inflicted,
ia his stead, with n large per cent,
added. So says the Carson Re9ester
OF this morning.
