VINO has been in Jail some months on u
charge OF robbery. has not been SO close
~ watched as other prisoners on account
OF his general appearance as a harmless
individual. He has several times been
allowed to sweep out the halls in the
court house, as no one supposed that
he mad energy enough to attempt m
escape. Yesterday morning he COM
planned of being unwell. and SO was
allowed to remain outside the Jail. He
was not entirely neglected. however, as
before he had been gone twenty minutes
ne was missed, and after search around
the premises without finding him, Sheriff
Travis was informed of his escape. Mr..
Travis mounted his horse and started in
pursuit, taking the Highland road.
Barney Murray, a Deputy Sheriff, took
another direction, and after going in
different directions and riding about
fifty miles, overhauled the fellow in a
canyon about three miles below the
Condor Mill, where he was captured and
brought back to Jail. He made no re-
slstence. His object was to get into
Utah Territory and make good his es-
cape. He will not probably get another
chance to escape
Mr.. N. W. INGALLS,, a brother of Indi.
an Agent ingalls,, arrived about o'clock
yesterday n orning from Salt Lake-hav-
ing ridden by Gilmer & Salisbury's line
from Lehi, and was four days and four
nights on the road from the last named
point to Phoebe. Mr.. ingalls, comes as
the representative of his brother, the
Indian Agent. The latter gentleman
is still at Washington urging the estab-
hshment OF an Indian Reservation
somewhere in the southern part of
the State, and is confident of being
able to obtain from Congress the neces-
sary appropriation. Goods for Indian
presents are expected here every day, and
when received will be distributed under
the direction of Mr.. ingalls,. The Indi-
an Agent is expected in Phoebe in a fort.
night or three weeks.
Town JA1L.-There is hardly room
enough in the County Jail to provide for
the security of persons confined therein
for the higher grade of crimes, and there
fore the town Of Phoebe ought to be pro-
vided with Jail in which to confine
those charged with minor offesnes. 1t is
not exactly right to confne man
charged with a slight offonse in the iail
with those charged with murder, arson,
grand larceny. 1t is onerous enough
upon the Sheriff to secure the prisoners
awaiting the action of the Grand Jury,
without being burthened with every case
OF drunk and disorderly or disturbing the
peace. There are enough of the last
named class to justify the erection of q
town prison.
MISUNDERSTANDING the heavy
weather last evening, there was full
house on the occasion of Harry Lor-
raine's benefit. The entertainment
passed off very pleasantly, considering
the. annoyance to which the actors and
the audience were subjected by the un-
seemly conduct of a few who made their
presence manifest by disorderly con-
duet. The course of these parties is ut
terly ine1cusable, and we hope it will
not he repeated.
PERSONALLY. D. Wheeler, recently
of the United States Branch Mint, at
Carson City, arrived in this place ON
Thursday last, and has bsen employed
as bookeeper in the banking department
of Wells, Fargo e. Co. Mr.. Wheeler is
a thorough accountant and very clever
gentleman, and makes hosts of friends
wherever he resides. Carson losses and
Phoebe gains good citizen.
ORE ScALxs.-Workmen were yester-
day engaged in erecting the ore scalas of
the Floral Mill. The scales are located
on Lower Main street, and are to be
used by the Floral Mill company for
weighing ore to be crushed by that mill,
but Others can also have the use of them,
STORM BREWING. Yesterday was
cloudy, cold and disagreeable indicating
stormy weather. Early last evening
rain began to fall. 1t is more than like
ly that a heavy storm will visit this Sec
ton of country before the weather again
clears up.
PERsoNAL.-J. D. Patterson, Sheriff of
White Pine county, has been sojourning
in Phoebe some days. We are glad to
see him among us, and are sorry that he
cannot remain in our camp longer. He
is booked for Hamilton to-day.
