COWARDLY PLOT
To Poison the officials in the Pike
vile, KY, jail,
To Secure the Rescue of Mounts the MUIR
derer-Tbe Jail Cooks Con-
fession.

PIKEvILIE, KY, Feb. 20.-After tho
execution of Ellison Mounts Tuesday,
the officers discovered plot, which, IL
successful, would have resulted in tho
escape of the prisoner and the probable
death of q number of the guards OF tho
Jail. Through the confession of the jail
cook the discovery was made. The Hat
fields had paid the cook 5000 to place
drug in the food of the Jail guards
the night before the execution. Tho
cook was told that the drug given
her was merely to mako the guards
GO to sleep. She became suspicious,
and concluded to try the effects of tho
preparation on the Jail cat. The result
was the death of the animal in horrible
agony. She then became alarmed, and
refused to put the poison into the food.
She did not communicate her inten-
tions, however, to the outlaws, and they
gathered near the the Jail to
await the signal which would in
dicate that the guards were sick
withip. Had this wholesale
attempt at murder been successful, not
only the prisoners in the prison would
have been killed from the effects of the
poison, but also the sheriff's family and
posse. The drug was found to be strych-
nine The cook was Immediately ar
rested. All the outlaw gang have fled
to the mountains of West Virginia,
where it is sure death for
the officers to follow them. Tho
lawless persons who are responsible for
this outrageous affair are from West
Virginia The sheriff is having the
necessary papers arranged to secure re-
uuisitions for the would-be murderers,
and every effort will he made to bring
them to justice Should they be brought
back here during the present intense
excitement every one of them would be
instantly mobbed, as the people are
crazed with indignation.

LOSS of Life.
PREscoTT, Ariz., Feb "a. No definite
news has vet reached here of the loss OF
life or the damage caused by the break
Saturday of the Walnut Grove dam.
The break in the dam is sloped to the
eastward, leaving the impression that
the main break was on the east side.
There can be no estimate yet of the loss
of life or property, but the latter will
reach into the millions, while the loss
of life will, without doubt, be great, as
many of the families were living near
the stream in the narrow canyons. Not
the slightest doubt has been enter
tanned of the safety of the dam, and
numerous houses had been erected by
miners at various places along the
course of the stream. These were up
lifted by raging waters as though they
had been corlSs, and floated down stream
until they were dashed to pieces. The
first intimation of the appalling disaster
was sound resembling thunder, and at
the same instant a perpendicular wall
of water fully fifty feet high came run
ming down the narrow valley with al
most incredible speed. Fortunately
there were but comparatively few people
living near the bottom of the hillsides,
and of these large number were warned
by the awful sound and escaped to high
er ground. The valley widens above
Wickenburg, and much of the town lies
upon the low land close to the course of
the stream, and it is almost certain that
the vast body of water which rushed out
of the reservoir has carried away many
houses at that place. 1t is believed here
that fully as many people were drowned
there as Immediately below the dam.
