ical balls that went through the old EldrIdge
House in MAY, 1856 Mr.. Wood found IL on
the Archibald place, and this would go 10
prove that il was one OF the ~ or 20 that Were

Office now stands out of our Old Sacramento

A Man who DOn't Seem 10 be o. K.
Linn County Clarion, 81
The man who was arrested last week on the
Usage and brought TO Mound City. supposed
10 be Davis, one of the parties who had es-
capped from The Jail, and was set at liberty,
and was arrested again and returned TO Fort
Scott in Bourbon county, called on us on
Monday TO say that the Fort Scott people
found that he was not the man they wanted
and had set him at liberty once more. He
gives his name as Albert Colemon, and says
he resides in Cass county, Missouri. We
know nothing of the man, and only give his
statement Tor what il is worth. III the story
of his first captors Is true, that he tried TO
palm himself of as the deputy sheriff of this
county, it is well 10 look out for him.
Caught in the Act of Saving His
way Out OF JAIL
GGirard Press, 81
On Saturday night, about twelve O'Clock,
some OF our citizens heard n peculiar noise
proceeding from the county jail. Thinking
outsiders were attempting to release the
only person confined there, they alarmed
Sheriff Braden and Deputy Sheriff Wolf, who
proceeded, with a few volunteers, to investi-
gate and capture the liberators. The jail
yard was surrounded, and rush was made
upon the jail. 1t was then discovered that
no one was assisting the prisoner. The
Jail door was unlocked, and upon
passing in, James Haley was found
in the cell apparently all right; but an
examination of the door revealed that the
iron bars by which il il fastened to the body
of the cage, had been sawed nearly of, and
the remainder broken so that il swung freely.
a little further search revealed case knife,
which had been made into a very fine saw.
Haley having forced his way out OF the iron
cage, by courtesy called cell, was industri-
ously engaged in enlarging the hole in the
wooden wall of the jail proper, us d to pass
food through TO the prisoners. In an hour or
two he would have been at liberty had lie not
been overheard.
