JAIL DELIVERY.

ana 6eeesn0 FOssesss0n Of Hte keNs.
At about o'clock yesterday morning
William Riley, the turnkey at the county Jail,
as usual went into the corridor in front of the
cells in which were confined the prisoners who
have been examined in the Mlnne-
apolis court and bound over to await
an examination before the grand jury
for divers crimes. Going into the corridor,
he carefully locked the outer door and placed
the key In his pocket. He then proceeded
to let the prisoners out of their cells, one
after another, as is the custom, SO that they
might eat their breakfast.
After completing this work, Tom Howard,
desperate young scoundrel, who was incar
eerated for deliberately shooting, his pal,
Henry Reed, in an imbroglio over
girl in ranch on Sixth
avenue south two months ago. knocked Riley
down. The remainder of the felons fell upon
him, and, in an instant, he was Invested Of his
keys and was securely locked in one of the
cells just vacated by prisoner. The nine then
quickly and silently stole out, unlocking doors
and gates and then securely locking them be-
hind them, taking the keys away.
The following is list and full description
OF the prisoners who effected an escape:

DIsOBEYKD ORDERS.
Sheriff Eustis being waited on by reporter
made full statement of the affair.
He had not yet arisen in the morning when
he heard some one hallolng and calling from
the Jail. His first impression was that q
lunatic confined in the jail was up to his
antics. However, he hastily dressed and re-
paired to the corridors, when he learned from
the turnkey, who was securely locked in the
cell, the story of the escape. Not
five moments had elapsed, and a search was
forthwith instituted for the fugitives. The
sheriff sent parties out in all directions, and
immediately notified the police who secured
the city.
The sheriff explained that he had given
most positive orders to the turkeys and under
where there were prisoners with keys to the
outer door in his possession, and to never
enter alone and unattended. His instructions
are for some one to accompany the turnkey
and to let him in, locking the door and re.
tanning the key until the turnkey shall have
performed his duties aud returned to the outer
door, when he should let him out, using ali
due discretion, SO that no prisoner should
''get the drop" on them and escape.
THE TURNKEY
states that he found upon entering the CORR
dor three men secreted behind stand
who sprang upon him and quickly
overpowered him. He corroboratel
the statement of Sheriff Eustis relative to
orders, and acknowledged that he was wholly
at fault and that he had been disobedient. II
seems that these three men who pounceG
upon the turnkey had during
iron top 81 0 sSe rs sssnS, and M
secreted themselves beneath it, where they hat
remained all night and were not locked ir
their cells, as they should have been. How
this could have occurred is, indeed
difficult to conceive. The fugitive.
were easily traced to the river banl
near the short line bridge, they having beer
boat and attempted to cross the river, but
the boat upsetting they were forced to return
They quickly disappeared from sigh
along the banks of the river in the bushes
A man reported this fact to q policeman ane
search in that vicinity was at once instituted
resulting in finding and capturing William
Zinke, the man who stabbed Odin Wohl will
q pocket knife at dance hall. He was safely
returned to Sheriff Eustis and incarcerated il
the county Jail.
AT. about 10 o'clock last night
Captain Bevay and Officer Bridigen
returned from down the river where
they had been in search of the refugees. They
| reported that two of the men called at hous,
| near Minnehaha creek and purchased jug O
milk, stating they were members OF a fishing
party. Three men employed on the boom in
formed the officers that they saw party
three answering the description of the ESCAPED
in boat going down the river about 10 o'clocl
in tine morning. They also got traces of tn,
men at Mendoza, where they lost all trail.
