Capture and Escape of Wm. Hall

On the 14th of this month Mir. Joseph Eye and MT. Hays left Tucson with hopes, from certain information in their posses sion, ot finding and capturing Wm. Hall who escaped from the jail here, on January l, last, being under sentence of contine- ment for life for murder MT. Eye and companion were successful in their ex- petition so far as capturing Hall. They found him at the house of Mr. Waters on the otber side of the line, in Sonora, and taking him thence they brought him towards Tucson, stopping at the Ostrich mine where, as they thought, they thor oughly secured him with heavy shackles on his ankles. The party then continued on their way here and arrived safely at Maish's ranch, where they stopped tor their last night out, Completely exhausted and believing the prisoner safely secured, MT. Hall was put in bis little bed, and be heath the whispering stars the others, in an unfortunate moment, allowed the drowsy god to o'ertake them and went to sleep. " Perchance to dream" But sleep forsook the couch of Hall and with sort of consistency Hall tiorsook his couch. Now in order to leave his bed the first COupkuCl dIlOu W llu tulS hulHuG OI GuC TOuU was to dlvest himself of the obtrusive shaekles. These were over his boot legs and by deduction Hall reasoned that if he could get out of his boots he could get out of his shackles. He got out of his boots and, as 8 sequence, out of his shackles; then taking the shackles of his boots, and putting his boots on his feet, and dropping a tear on his shackles, and saddle on a horse, and with gun in his hand, he stood not upon the order of his going but went. As the morning star broke from its cover behind the far Santa Catarina, he fled down the wastes of night toward "libertad " y la independent cia,n
 Of course MT. Eye used every effort towards recapture, but without evail. It was very worthy undertaking on his part from the start, and while we was finally unfortunate, he is entitled to and, we believe, has the thanks of every re- spectable citizen for his honest effort in the cause Ol law and order, and their sym pathy for his misfortune. He and his companion used every effort to make sue cess and are as much entitled to praise as if they had been successful. Occasional, and often frequent, misfortune is the lot of all.

/|IN speaking of his recent real estate pur- .chases, Mir. Geo. Cooler informed us that he had Tn contemplation the building of large public hall in some favorable locali- ty in the center of the town. This build ing he would design tor place of general utility in the pursuit of amusement, con- certs, balls, parties, exhibitions and gen. eral entertainments. With convenient stage in one end and retiring rooms and movable seats, Mir. Cooler would provide this town with what no town eyer amounts to anything without,-a good concert room. Such an enterprise as this cannot be too warmly commended, and if George brings his plans to a successful head he will prove public benefactor.

A., has this past week added to the belles Iettres feature of our Territorial Library. by the gift of Darwin's valuable and inter eSting books, "The Descent of Man." and "The Origin of Species," the former in two volumes. The Colonel. in making the present, pleasantly remarked that he had for long time deprecated the undue excitement and subsequent excavation which the indiscriminate reading of the Library collection of Patent Office Reports, is having upon the public mind, and he wished to cOunteraet that effect to an ex- tent. In making this present Col. Taylor is only consistent with the usual tenor of his way-living to do good. These books, and all others in the Library, are acceSsi- be to the public within office hours.

CHAPTER II.

{" There was C. sound Of reveIry by night"
 Leaving the grass to grow over the graves oi the slain, and the revolution, inaugurated at Lexington and Concord, to glOriouSly close at Yorktown, and hay
 ing buried nearly all the survivors decent Ky, let us take the reader in spirit on little journey of 100 years and introduce him to the city of Tucson on the night of April l9, 1875. On that night, under the auspices of the Ladies Centennial Com mittee of Arizona, with the able leader ship of it's chairman Mrs. l.. c. Hughes, there was held in the county courthouse at Tucson, one of the most pleasant and successful entertainments on our recOrI. The day being the l00th anniversary of the battles Of Lexington and Concord, the ladies conceived the idea of uniting a celebration of the day and by giving a tea party, to which they would charge admis- sion, obtain funds in aid of the great Gen. tennial Exhibition of 1876. As harmless indictment to the purchase of tickets they added lottery or raffie feature to the pro- gramme, in which the prizes were to be rCentenn.al stock certificates. We might ISay right here that from statement since handed us, it appears there were 92 tickets Sold altogether, for this entertainment, re- aliZing S2T6. After paying expenses, there remained on hand S250. which money was invested in the purchase of 9 shares of

O'Clock the night Waterman, NJ BUrse,
heard an unusual disturbance and went to
the street door to ascertain the cause. As
lie opened the door and looked out he saw
John Donaldson, cUiOrea, darling into an
aIlaV on the opposite side Of the street.
CHANGING upward, be perceived the form Of
Willis Cheatham, cO.Ored, about half way
through q hole n the window Of the sec
Cnd story Of the building. Mr.. Burke in
stantly drew his pistol and fired, but the
weapon hung fire and missed the mark,
though the ball lodged within few inches
Of the prisoners head.
This induced Cheatham to draw his
body back into the building very quickly,
and he called lGStiiy 10 Burke not to shoot
any more. Seeing Cheatham's failure 70
escape the ether prisoners gave up the idea
OF trying 10 get out. Capt. Petit, the
keeper, was aroused by this time, and the
prisoners were all placed in enc room and
secured. Capt. Petit then started out to
hunt for Donaldson and notify the police
OF his escape. He spent most Of the night
IL search Of the runaway, but failed to
come up with him.
At four o'clock yesterday morning officer
Jackson caught Donaldson on College
street. between the Public Square and Line
street. and took him to the city workhOuse.
Capt. Pet-i- came after him and returned
him TO his old quarters.
Donaldson effected his escape by taking
the stats OF a bedstead and pricing out the
iron bars Of a window on the second floor.
He then made a rope Of blanket and let
himself down 10 the pavement, a distance
of about ten feet.
