WdTuSU hdHudlE Is, udbuTdlIy, us
gusted with the reports to- the effect
that the alleged COLLISION of a brace of
ex-conyicts who were in the city Thurs
day assisted the prisoner Long to es-
cape, He says: 1.-THE two ex-conyicts
were in Saltwater on that day and
drove by the prison. That is all the
foundation there is for the ill-natured
and ill-founded story. Those two ex-
convicts had no possible chance to as
sist Long. to escape beyond the walls,
and, Furthermore, Long needed no more
immediate assistance than the careless
ness of the guard who had him in
CHARGE" 1t IS now learned that Long
did not make his descent from the
chapel window by the aid of hose
| which depended therefrom. He had Sc
cured about the prison yard slight
rope, hardly more than a cord, few
feet long and easily concealed about
his clothing. He had also done what it
is easy for any convict to do in the con-
tract labor shops, secreted a small bar
of iron. The latter assisted him to
spring apart the bars of the chapel
window. Here he fastened his little
rope and descended to the window ledge
of the next story, and so made
a rapid and easy descent. MIR. Webster,
the guard, is an old soldier, and was APP
pointed recently, it is said at the solicit
tatiOn of Grand Army men, though none
of the prison officials volunteer any
such information. Long is still appar
emily good distance away from Still
water.

I the 27th of last month, was brought to
the state prison yesterday by the sheriff
of Brown county, Holden having been
kept in custody at the New Ulm Jail for
the reason that Redwood Falls had no
proper place of Incarceration. The pris-
Oner's removal to Saltwater was in ac-
