hoshinS is oSAnS uouo " Sapt"'t she men who escaped from the county jail Wednesday night. Every trail and road leading from this city IS closely guarded. and it seems almost impossible that any of the men can escape.
 Davis, the little opium fiend, who was the instigator of the battle for freedom, Is again behind the bars. He was captured last night in the adobe house on the corner of 9th and Bruce streets, by Chief of Police Ryan. How he knew that the fellow was there is his business. When Ryan threw a dark lantern down on his form as he stood in one corner of the room, and asked What are you doing?" the re- ply came back from Davis "I guess you know you're after me-" He re- fused to say any thing last night till he had been loosened up with the drug he craved, and the longing for which kept him in town and caused his capture. His account of how the escape was made is as follows, and sets at rest the supposition that but two men had hand in it:
 On Sunday last, Victoriana, the trusty, to whom McDermott trusted the locking up of the prisoners each night, was discharged, his time being up. He had been faithful with the work, and the other prisoners could not approach him. Sunday night the guard gave the keys to another pris- oner, McMullan, who was ia the plot | from the start. Sunday, Monday and Tuesday nights he fooled McDermott by pretending to lock the cell doors, and after all was quiet the work be- gan. The first work on the hole was done Sunday night. It was under stood that they should all gather in Davis cell, which they did with small pen knife the work began, and one after the other they took turns at the ! work.
 Monday night they had the wood cut out. Tuesday night they removed the brick, all but the last layer. IL was then agreed that Thursday night the break should be made. Davis, however, was crazy for opium. and gave notice that if the break was not made Wednesday that he would "squeal" This settled it. Before 10 o'clock came the final push was made. The new moon shone through the opening. Dayis went out fir-t, picked up the axe aud gave 1t to the others to enlarge the hole with. He thinks, however, that they did not use the axe for when he reached the outside of the fence, which he dropped over, the others were dropping alongside of him. This is all Davis has to say.
 After locking up Davis. Ryan secured the town with others, and thorough search was made of every nook and corner, for the other nine men. but it was futile.
 A clue to the location of some of the gang, was furnished this morning by Wm. Tomlinson, who lives in the Brady house at Pick-em.up. He came to town last night and returned home between Il and F o'clock. The house was standing but that was about all. His clothes. blankets, and grub were missing, and shot gun and ammunition had also been taken. He slept st the house of a friend, and this morning. after looking after Q shipment of ore, he armed himself ana started on horseback after the thieves. The sheriff's office had two men on the same trail at daylight, and it is pretty certain that good report will be returned before night. The men who plundered Tomlinson's house had been in hiding in one of the I tunnels near there, judging from the direction Of the trail from the house.
 The line is we'll guarded so that es- cape in that direction seems improb- able Frank Broad and George Bravin were at Benson last night, but had no clue. Keiton was at Dragoon Summit on a hot trail of two of the men. Every camp in the surrounding noun tain ranges is guarded. and the cap ture o' the escaped prisoners seems certain.
