BROKE JAIL.
Murray and Rein Saw Their
Way out and Escape.

Considerable excitement was created
ht Condon Friday morning when Sheriff
Wilcox went around To give the prison
ers their breakfast, and found that MUIR
ray and Rein, who were awaiting the ac-
ton Of the grand jury on q charge OF
horse stealing, had escaped during the
night The manner In which they ef-
fected their escape was by saving
through the finch wallconposcd Of fonr
l.inch boards, thickly studded with
clnched wire mills. The saw nsed was
made out Of common table knife which
bad been given the prisoders TO eat their
meals with; and in addition TO this they
used hot iron poker with which they
burned the nails out. 1t was very
clever piece Of work and shows that

Bill Cunningham, and all three were
turned loose in the corridor, not having
been locked in the steel cells Cunning

O'Clock IN the evening, and BY 3 O'Clock
next morning the hole WAS large enough

time in doing, and after scaling the high
stockade, they Iii out a-foot, with the
speed Of 4 deer with split stick over its

life is simple, loving and virtuous. Many
of them practice polygamy because it is

with male heir, because he is the only
one that can secure them a proper :

There was no newspaper report of her

pire of India. Prior to the English oc.
cupation it was under Portuguese and
Dutch and native rules, and many
fierce battle has been fought for its
possession.
Bombay is now a thriving city of
nearly one million souls, and one hears
more strange tongues spoken there than
in any other place in the world. Its
temperature ranges from seventy.fve de-
erees Farenheit to 115 degrees, with from
seventy to 300 inches of rain yearly, and
q daily tide of from fourteen to seventeen
feet. The city is handsomely laid out
and has many magnificent temples,
mosques, palaces and public and private
buildings. What interested us most,
however, were the native quarters. The
streets are narrow and tortuous, although
I am bound to Say they are cleaner than
those of San Francisco. The houses
are picturesque in the extreme, with
profusion of fine sculpturing, project
ing stories, curious bay windows and
cozy, sunny hooks latticed and matted,
without window glass, where the fsir
daughters of India may be seen basking
in the tropical sun without much more
clothing on them than string Of pearls
for a waistband.
There are mosques and Hindoo
temples grotesquely carved and gaudily
painted, but of all, the street scenes,
with their throngs of people and side
shows and by-plays, are the most inter
esting. Here the tide of Asiatic
humanity e3bs and aows in ceaseless
streams. Nowhere, excepting perhaps
in Constantinople, can one see livelier
hues and gayer displays of humanity or
buster throng of city life. Here they
are coming and going in endless crowds,
Hindoo, Guzerati and Maratha. Here
can be studied the brightest and dark
est specimens of every clime-Arabs
from Muscat, Persians from the Cult,
Afehans from the northern frontier,
black and shaggy Beluchis, negroes from
Zanzibar, islanders from the Maldives
and Laccadives, Malagashes, Mslays and
Chinese, Parsis, Jews, Lascar fishermen,
Raipoots, Fakirs, Sepoys, Sahibs and
Europeans many of them in gay dresses
or clothes of brilliant hues. The Indian
lady is loaded down with silver and gold
jewelry and precious gems. Her ears
have many rings in them, some so large
that they reach her shoulders. Next
comes the nose, with rings large
enough for q bracelet. Occasionally

Speed Of Fish.

Now that every effort is being made
to increase the speed of ocean steamers
it is interesting to know the speed with
which different fish can pass through the
water. For long distance swimming the
shark may be said to hold the record, as
he can outstrip the swiftest ships, ap-
parently without effort, swimming aud
playing around them, and ever on the
lookout for prey. Any human being
falling overheard in shark frequented
waters has very little chance to escape,
so rapid is the action of the shark, the
monster of the deep. The dolphin, an
other fast swimming fish, is credited
with a speed of considerable over twenty
miles an huur. For short distances the
salmon can outstrip every other fish, ac-
complishing its twenty-five miles an hour
with ease. The Spanish mackerel is one
of the fastest of food fishes, and cuts the
water like a yacht. Predatory fishes are
generally the fastest swimmers. Indus

The barber shops in India are e1-
tremely simple. A mat is spread on me

The water. carrier is another curious
person in India. He fills goat or pig
skin at the nearest pool or river, sings
it across his shoulder and supplies water
for drinking and cooking, for watering
the garden and for sprinkling the streets.
Crude as this method may seem, the
streets are better sprinkled than those OF
San Francisco.

for drinking, as one caste could not

The people of India are as simple
minded anil as trusting as children, pro-
viding one knows how to take them.
Let them once be deceived and they
never trust that individual again. In
many ways the English have accom-
plished wonders in India in rallroading,
commerce and government, but they
have also taught the people not to place
too much trust in their fellow men. The
white man has robbed and swindled
these poor simple minded children of the
tropics to such an extent that the Indian
is now fully equipped with talsehoods

Bombay has stormy history. 1t was
the earliest settlement of the British in
India. The island was ceded to the
English crown in 1861 as part of the
dowry of the infant Catharine of Portu-
gal on her marriage with Charles II. In
1868 it was granted to the East India
Company, and in 1773 Bombay Island
was placed in position of qualified de-
pendence under the Governor of Bengal
and Calcutta. It is now the seat of one

hasty glance at those about him, he left
the room.
A strange sense of impending evil
weighed upon poor Mildreds heart, and
she even thought that those around her,
who had seen her husbands hasty with
drawal, partook of the feeling.
Fifteen-twenty minutes passed. She
thought she would find her aunt. and ask
her what it could possibly be that had
called her husband from her side at such
q time.
She had Just reached the hall when
some one pulled the bell.
A sense of dread seized her, and, clasp
ng her hand to her side, she leaned
against the wall for support.
The footman opened the door. A mes.
senger stood without; he handed in a
letter. and Immediately departed.
The solemn menial glanced at the ad-
dress.

the missiye in Mildred's outstretched
hand.
A sudden impulse took possession OF
her; and gathering up her skirts she

self in her own room.
To tear open the letter was but the
work of an instant, and it hardly took
longer to devour its contents.
This is what she read:

do you think the husband you are
waiting for is at this moment2 Would
YOU know the truth? Then 60 to the

better place? This girl herself.
Il tell you again you are betrayed. She
has summoned him to her, and he has
gone-even before you are the bride OF
an hour!
This warning comes from
"A FRIEND"
With a groan Mildred crushed the
cowardly letter in her hand, and abstract.
edly thrust it in her bosom. As she did
so, something white on the carpet at
tracted her attention.
She picked it up and saw that it was a
note. Quickly she remembered that
Eugene had left his hat and overcoat in
that room, and that he must have come
there for them when he went out. This
must have been the very note he had re-
ceived, and he must have dropped it then.
She opened it with trembling hands.
One glance was enough. She uttered
sharp cry Of pain.
