THREE TRAMPS ESCAPE

From the Insecure Confines Of our Calaboose- An H.
IuS!rdtiOn Of the Need ofG Good City Prison.
Yesterday afternoon three drunken tramps
we're picked up by officer Heldenbrand, who
locked them up In the customary place, the bug.
ridden, insecure prison, called the calaboose
Nothing more was thought Of the drunken trio
until supper time. One Of the oficere bought
some lunch for them, but upon reaching the cal
aboose found the cell door open and the tramps
gone AS they were arrested merely for vagran.
cy no attempt was made to recspture them. As
to how they got out no speculation Ia necessary.
The place is old and ill.constructed, 80 that two
men, by throwing their combined weight against
the door, could easily force off the lock. This is
probably the way they managed to open the door
as the lock was found loose, lying upon the
floor. This little occurrence ls q timely warning
Of the need ofa substantial prison.
