Bold Attempt to Break Jail.

few minutes before 2 o'clock this morning
five or six prisoners in the county jail made a
desperate attempt to escape but were prevented
by the pluck of James Miller, the night turnkey
He was asked to let one of the prisoners out
of his cell so that no might go
to the water-closet, and went inside
the cell room to let him out. taking
the precaution, however to lock the outer door
behind him. When he got back near the rear of
the room five of the prisoners, all dressed and
with their hats pulled down over their eyes, and
armed with clubs jumped on him. He resisted and
drew his revolver but he was disarmed, knocked
down and thrown into q cell and the door
locked One Of the men took Miller's pocket
book and jacket from him, and putting on the
garment, walked to the front door and demanded
to be let out Richard Williams, night
Waterman, had heard the scuf1e, and
refused to open the door, but ran
for help Sheriff Carter arrived in very few
moments. and in the meantime the prisoners
had given up the attempt, released Miller and
given him back his things, saying at
was no go. We will have to give it
up" The men then went quietly back
in their cells and the trouble was over Owing
to the darkness Miller could not tell who they
were. He was badly bruised about the head
and face, and received two severe cuts in the
forehead
