ATTEMPTED Jail Break.

Two young Williams, Brown and Bond,
who are serving a term in the Linn county
Jail, the former for highway robbery and
the other for larceny, are now confined In
dark cells, says the Albany Herald, and
have brought upon themselves somewhat
severe prison discipline. During the tenn
porary absence of Sheriff Jackson they
attempted to break Jail and succeeded in
digging good sized hole nearly through
the brick and IRON wall of the corridor,
where they had been allowed to remain.
Mrs. jackson heard them at work and
notified Deputy Sheriff ID. s. Smith, who
locked them UP In separate cells. Brown
took his punishment quietly, but Bond
broke the bed to pieces and swore he
would tear the Jail down unless removed
from the cell. On Sheriff Jackson's re-
turn he gave the prisoner the alternative
of being gagged or being quiet. Bond
then grew sulky, and when his meals
were handed to him by fellow-prisoner,
at whom he had grudge. he refused to
eat. AT the eud OF thirty-slx hours with
ont food, however, he "squealed," said he
had been fool and promised to obey the
jailor. He is young man whose many
crooked deeds have given him bad
name, although this is his first term in
Jail. His parents are estimable people,
who live in the eastern part of the county.

Searching for Wolf.


Plimp Kelly, nephew of Sheriff Kelly,
of Multnomah county, was in Long Creek
last Friday evening on the lookout for
Wolf, who is supposed to be hiding some
where In the Blue mountains. Remain
ing over night, he departed early Satur-
day morning for Harvey county, where he
expects to hear something again of the
murderer of Birdie Morton.
1t Is expected that Wolf will wander
into the desolate portion of Southern Ore
gon or into Nevada, and enter the em
pioye of some sheepman in order to keep
himself isolated as much as possible from
civilization.
Deputy Sheriff Morgan, who returned
to Portland last week from tour out in
Gillian and Crook counties, said: 81 do
not consider that have had frultless
chase, for tracked Wolf into the Blue
mountains, where, 1 am satisfied, he is
now hiding. 1 was just five days behind
him atJim Hamilton's place, about ten
miles southeast of Fossil. He passed
Mamilton's and inquired the way to
Mitchell. Then he wended his way back
into the mountains, where he is sure to
be captured, sooner or later, by men who
are there for other purposes. have more
confidence than eyer In the case, and he
will be captured"

The Academy Party.

The masquerade costume party at Wasco
Independent Academy Wednesday evening
was an enjoyable event, and the characters
were well represented. A number of our
citizens were present, and were highly en-.

manifested when this was made k:.own.

Once Again Seen.
Tribune.


Albert Harala, who now resides in
Pendleton, but recently lived near Adams,
thinks he saw Burdette Wolf, the much
sought murderer. The day after election,
or November 9th, Harala was walking
from sawmill in the mountains to
Adams about 8 A. M. He saw man in
the road ahead who acted strangely. Upon
coming up to him, he asked the stranger
if he had passed four-horse team ON the
way The followed refused to speak, and
quickly went east disappearing in the
mountains. Harala had seen the pub
Ilshed description in the papers and the
subject answered very closely. His shoes
were worn completely out, and his gen.
eral appearance was such as to induce
one to easily believe he had been living
in caves and neglected houses. A haunted
look, tremulous attitude when seen by
human eye, a hurried departure, all gave
force to the suspicion that he was the man
wanted

With 0ur Regrets,

The following from the Prineville Neaos
demonstrates the fact that the editor con-
siders that the success of newspaper is
as much dependent upon the strict rules
of business as any mercantile pursuit:
"Do you want a dozen of our new
| strawberry plants ?'' writes a guIleless
nurseryman of the far east. "If so give US
ten Insertions of enclosed advertisement
(worth $500 and we will send them to
you in the spring free of charge" This
would be the greatest pleasure of our in
nocent young life, if we were prepared 20
accept 1t. But you see the only real es-
tate we own is what is contained in the
tin-mounted cuspidor that sits under the
editorial desk near where Ike Swearingen
piled the potatoes. and that is hardly
large enough for strawberry orchard. If
some man who has surplus of farms on
hand will give US twenty acres for an ad-
vertisement we will accept 1t, aud also
this other offer and soon we will run in
connection with this paper the finest
strawberry ranch in the west. Citizens,
if you want to see your county newspaper
boom and flourish and grow into a straw
rerry festival. Just embrace this golden
opportunity Ind give us farm for adver
Using and we will get the plants and set
'em. Raising strawberries and running a |
newspaper are two occupations, no nearer
related than the cousinship eight times |
removed, but we believe an editor of or
binary vertility ought to be able to man
age both of them. 1t would be a nice |
diversion from clipping copy from ex-
changes to take the editorial scissors and
go out TO the farm occasionally and cut
off strawberry runners for few weeks.

emily they began todescend one of those
steep, almost precipitous inclines in
which Colorado roads abound.
"Will you let me driver" asked VOL
cott.
Certainly" answered the other.
But no sooner had Wolcott got the
reins than he turned to his companion
and said: "You have been shaming me
for my timidity. My turn has come.
Well see who squeals frstr'
With that he flung the reins out over
the horses backs and began plying the
whip furiously. The frightened horses
dashed down the hill, swinging the
buggy around curves and against
powders in such wise as to threaten its
demolition. Wolcott continued to ply
the whip and to shout at the maddened
brutes. His friend clung, white and
trembling, to his seat. 1t is marvel
that both were not killed. Finally the
buggy was overturned, the horses broke
away and Wolcott and his friend were
left in confused heap, with broken
arm, a sprained ankle and dozen body
cuts and bruises between them.
"Well, how do you like itg' asked
Wolcott, gathering himself together
and emerging nimbly from the debris.
The other answered feebly but proud

Was He Poisoned2
East Oregonial

Reports are that there Is some mystery
connected with the death of Joseph Hunt,
which occurred at Ukiah sabout two
weeks ago. The deceased had been en-
ployed just one day in herding sheep for
N II. Cottrell, and in the evening when
he returned from his work, someone Of
fered him drink of liquor. He refused
at the time, but afterward accepted the
proffered refreshment. Next morning he
swallowed drink of hot whisky, which
he had himself prepared, and was subse-
quently attacked with violent cramps,
which finally ended in death. He made
an ante-mortem statement 10 the effect
that someone had poisoned him. In a
chest in the room which he occupied a
bottle of liquor was found after his death
From this it is supposed he took his
morning drink, and an analysis will
probably be made of its contents. The
deceased resided on the middle fork of
the John Day, and came to Camas Prairie
not long before his illness. He was 55
years old.
