With Ten Convicts.

Win Zen COnvictS.
Sheriff Woolery and his guards returned from
Waila Walla yesterday at noon, having con-
veyed ten prisoners to the state peniteutiary.
The officers left Seattle with the prisoners Sum
day morning at o'clock, and should have ar
rived at Walla Walla the same evening at 8
O'Clock; but owing to a wreck were delayed
seven hours. sour train followed a passenger
excursion out from Tacoma" said Mr.. woolery
yesterday. "When the excursion train reached
Eureka junction, forty miles from Walla Walla,
the engine jumped the track and tore along the
rails, twisting and cutting them up like pipe
STEMS and the engine after blowing an immense
furrow in the alkali bank, which lines the
track, came to a dead stop. None OF the excur-
sionists were injured. The cause of the acct
dent was broken 1ange on one of the drivers
OF the engine, which allowed the ponderous
wheels to slip of the rails to the ties
"While the trainmen, aided by a wrecking
crew,wcre building temporary track around the
wreck, we remained in the car and guarded our
prisoners, none of whom made any attempt to
escape. We arrived at Waila Walla at o'clock
Monday morning."
The sheriff reports that the penitentiary now
contains over 400 prisoners and the institution
10 greatly oyercrowded. Work on the new wing
is progressing rapidly. 1t will contain eighty
cells, which will accommodate about 200 more
prisoners While the sheriff was in Wala
Walla, Tuesday, three prisoners arrived at the
penitentiary from Dayton, one from Port
Townsend, and yesterday the party met an
officer from Tacoma en- route to the penitentiary
with six more.

THE COINS WERE GENUINE.
A Deputy's Wild Goose Chase Ate

Commentators.
Deputy United States Marshal Brooks returned
from the northern part of the state yesterday,
where he was sent on wild goose chase after q
nest of counterfeiters whose rendezvous was
supposed to be cave near Whatcom.
On October Deputy United States Marshal
Bigelow received letter from an individual in
Whatcom conveying the information that coun-
terfeit quarters and half dollars were being
manufactured by men who assumed the guise
of prospectors, and who lived in the mountains
The letter, which contained a silver quarter and
a half dollar, said that the money was obtained
at Whatcom from a prospector who claimed
that he got the coin in payment for some pro-
visions he had bartered to three miners who
were up in the mountains, and who lived In q
cave and acted suspiciously.
Deputy Marshal Brooks, taking 1t for granted
that the money was counterfeit left for Snoho-
mish, where he had been told one of the coun-
terfeiters had gone to dispose of some of his
new -mads money. Thence the officer went to
Halter City, stopping at several interme diate
points to take observations. At Halter City he
had occasion to have the sample coins exam
ined and though they were suspicious looking
because of their newness, they were found to
be genuine. Thus the counterfeit story was
knocked in the head and the officer returned
