 Considerable excitement was occasioned Friday morning by the escape of two prisoners from the county jail. The facts are as fol- lows: The prisoners were the two alleged horse-thieves brought here by Mir. Parks of Duncan, mention of which was made by TIE CLARION last week. They were confined awaiting a hearing by a justice of the peace, and as usual, under tue circumstance, were not shacklcd. Upon Nr. O!nrv, who was acting deputy sheriff, opening the doors to remove the remains of breakfast, he was seized un- awares by these men,. who gaiaed possession of his pistol after a severe scufie, during which the balance Of the prisoners acted merely as spectators. They then made their escape to the brush, not, however, without shooting at and wouuding Jose Salazar, who upon realizing what was going on had rushed out for assistance. l posse of mounted men at once started out in search of lhe escapes and succeeded in a short time in capturing one Of inc run aways, but the other, after fleeing to the cienega, mounted a horse and is at present at large 4ir.
