well organized attempt was made by num-
Der of prisoners to escape from Auburn Jail
at P. M. to- day.
Lewis Robinson, alias Smith, of Portland,
| a prisoner, struck Tailor Littlefeld with q
glass bottle, as the latter, followed by Turn.
key Washburn, was opening the Jail door to
serve supper to the prisoners. The jailor
wa, knocked down, but clutched Robinson
and brought him to the floor with him. An
other prisoner named Allen then escaped
The turnkey had conflict with Robinson at
the outside door and discharged revolver at
him. The shot took effect in the scalp and
Robinson, followed by the turnkey, left the
Jail through the door, but he was overhauled
and brought back by the turnkey. A colored
prisoner named Lee also escaped.
A dozen or more prisoners we're about max
ing off when two or three of the loyal pris-
oners interfered, while girl prisoner named
Sloppy pushed back the crowd, locked the
door and stopped further stampede.
Lee was caught within five minuter after
his escape. Allen is still at large.
Neither officers or prisoners were seriously
injured.
The prisoners intended to have made an at.
tempt yesterday to escape, but we're defeated.
