ESCAPE OF A PRlsoNER.-Sher-
iff Williams of Kitsap County
came over here this morning and
reported the escape ot-one of the
prisoners, named Chas. Watts,
from the Port Madison Jail under
the following circumstances
The prisoners were returning
from the.cook- house, where they
had been to supper, at half past
6 last evening, headed by the
guard, who went in advance to
open the trap door. As they
turned the corner Of the Jail,
Watts, who was at the end of
line, slipped away into the brush.
The guard was unable to follow
him, fearingthe prisoners would
all run, so hurried them into the
Jail, dropped the trap and started
back after Watts. He was una-
BILE to find him, however, as the
brush is very thick IN the neigh
borhood of the jail. Sheriff Will
liams, who arrived a few mo-
ments after the escape, tele-
graphed to all the milling towns
en- the Island offering a reward
of 5000 for his capture, and came
over to town to-day and got out
handbills to that effect. The
following is his description: He
is 10 years of age, 5 feet 9 inches
in height, slim built, and stoops
slightly. His hair is black,
tinged with gray. He wore a
gray shirt, dark pants and Il fad
ed sack coat. Watts, it will be
remembered, is the man who
was convicted some years ago,
of numbering man on San Juan
Island, and whose case has been
repeatedly appealed since. 1t
was just decided adversely to
him and he would have been
sentenced to be hanged at the
next term of Court at Port
Townsend, where he was origi-
nally convicted.
