At this juncture an unexpected state
OF affairs threatened to overthrow every
thing. The secret had spread among
the prisoners, and the prospect of es-
cape throw them into the widest excite
mcnt. They began furious struggle to
enter the opening, and for time fought
like wild beasts. Fortunately the noise
did not attract the guards, and some
thing like order was finally obtained.
One hundred and nine officers, including
| eleven colonies, seven majors, thirty two
captains and ftty-ninc lieutenants, passed
through the tunnel and entered on the
wild race for liberty.
At roll call tho next morning the
Libby authorities learned the astound-
ing truth. The fire place had been so
skilfully restored that for time no one
could tell how the escape had been
brought about. The Richmond papers
pronounced the whole thing "miracu-
lous, +" aud the wondering crowds ilocked
thither for several days. One of their
number happened to remove plank in
the yard and the secret was revealed.
A dog dropped into the tunnel, passed
the whole length, and then it was made
plain how the men had escaped.

The birds were nearly all very young
and not in full plumagc. The natives
of Mexico arc green, with yellow

throw them in the shade with thol,
white heads, rcd nccks, and green and
blue bodies. In spite of this grandeur
the Havana spcculator only valued
his gaudy stock at Il couple OF dollars
apiece, while the men from Mexico
counted theirs at 81 or SO.
The poor little things were scarcely
able to cat and the attcndanSs of the
Mexican birds spent all day and part
of the night administering masses OF
crackers soaked in milk and water,
opening their bills and fairly cram.

The Others were less fortunate:

Every eye. including those of the Con-
federate officers, was turned sympathiz-
ingly toward the officer, who was the
coolest man in the room.
"Well," he remarked with n smile,
sit had to be some one, and can stand
it rs well as any of you"
The second name was that of Captain
John Finn, Fifty-iirsL Indiana. Cap
tain Finn showed natural emotion and
was greatly depressed. The rest of the
party were dismissed, and the two
doomed men were taken to General
Winder's office, where they were told
they might write to their friends. Cap
tain Sawyer wrote TO his family and read
the letter aloud to Confederate officer.
His voice was firm until he came to the
Inst farewell to his wife and children.
Then the brave man broke down, and
begging the indulgence of those around
him turned away his head and wept like
child.
Finn had no letters to write and
asked for a priest. His request was
granted. Then they were ordered to be
kept in close confinement until the day
ever, that day never came. In due time
they were exchanged and returned to
their families.
On Tuesday evening, February o,
1864, everything beng ready, Colonel
Rose gathered his friends in the kitchen,
softly took out the bricks, and waiting
until the last man had descended, babe
Colonel II. g. Hobart goodbye and fol-
lowed the others. He pausad at the
bottom until he heard the LADDER drawn
up and the bricks replaced This party
numbered fifteen, the understanding be-
ing that the second fifteen should follow
an hour later, the procession being kept
up as long as possible.
Colonel Rose was the first to enter the
tunnel, with Hamilton at his heels.
Through the long dark passage they
made their way, and in few minutes
emerged into the yard. The gate lead
ing to the canal was open and the coast
clear.

knowledge of this trait in Yuma CHI arac-
ter does more to deter prisoners from es-
cape that even the terror of the water
less desert. or all the men who have
started out from the pcnitentiary to reach
the Mexican border only one is known to
have been successful. He was an Ameri-
can who had lived long in Arizona and
was familiar with desert life. He had
gun and shot birds Oh which he subsisted.
Heavy rains baked the Indian trailers
and he gave them the slip. Still, he had
a narrow escape from starvation, rs he
was found by ranchman in old Mexico
gnawing the fresh rawhidc with which
the gate of corral had been mcnded.
He was walking ghost, but under good
treatment he recovered. He sent back
word to some comrades in the prison
not to attempt to escape, as death was
better than the suffering he had c dured.

Washington Wa. wealthy.

George Washington was one Of the
richest men OF his time In America.
He attached to his will bearing date
Of July 0, 1909, schedule OF his
property and placed the total valua-
ton OF the same at $3.50, 900. His es.
tate was undoubtedly worth more,
and all of $780, 900 and even more.
The estimate of $500, 900 was consid-
cred by Washington himself very
low one, for in the notes which ac-
companicd the will and schedule he
frequently refers to the "moderate
value" and "lowcst price affixed" OF
the various pieces of property. The
Ohio lands included In the estate In.
creased immensely in value.

that key which .Uncle Harry covered
up and which was connected by fuse
with the office up stairs did not contsin
grain of powder. It was filed with
sand, and the whole thing was little
game of bluff on our part which accom-
plished its purpose.
The most thrilling incident connected
with Libby Prison took place July s,
1868, about seven months before the at
tempt to escape. BY order of General
Winder the scventy.two captains con-
fined there drew lots for two of their
number to be shot in retaliation for the
shooting of Captains w. +. Corbin and
I. j. McGraw by General Burnside at
Sandusky, Ohio, during the preceding
May Their offence was that of recruit
ing in Kentucky for tho Confederate
army.
Captain Turner assembled tho Union
prisoners IN room in the prison
at noon. They were formed in hollow
square around table and told what
General Winder had ordered should DC
done.
''Iou may select one of your number
to do the drawing" said Captain Turner,
land the first two names taken from the
box will indicate the couple that are to
be shot"
Captain Sawyer, of the First New Jcr-
scy Cavalry, said
81 suggest that the duty be performed
by one of our chaplains."
The suggestion was accepted and the
three Union chaplains were called down
from the upper story. The Rev. Mr..
Brown consented to perform the unwcl
como task, and amid the intense hush he
stepped forward aud drew out slip of
paper. With trembling hands he un-
folded it and called out in broken
voice:
"Henry Washington Sawyer, First
New Jersey Cavalry"

Noted Indlan Trailers.

The Yumas arc noted trailers. They
can follow the track Of man or animal
over stony desert as fast as you can
walk. 1t is species of instinct like
that of the black trailers of Australia,
and no white man has ever been able to
equal them in this art. There trnilcrs
are always warned when there is all
escape at the Yuma pcnitcntiary. The
territorial prison of Arizona stands on
tho high bluff overlooking the Colorado
and ella Rivers. Existence within its
walls is rs near an approach to future
punishment rs one can find on this earth.
AS escape is well nigh impossible it
would be mercy to permit the convicts
to sleep in the open air in the Jail yard.
A huge cage of iron might be con-
structcd which would secure the prisoners
i'll cells and yet permit circulation of mir.
AS it is, tho men arc locked in their
ordinary prison. The result may be
imagined. About half the prisoners are
Mexicans-dcsperatc fellows who are in
for horse stealing or murder. One of
these occasionally tries to escape, but
the results are usually such as to deter
others from following his example.
There is no way to escape from the
pcnitcntiary except by following the
Southern Pacific Railroad or by striking
across the desert, which surrounds Yuma
OH all sides. 1t is sure death to 30 west
into the Colorado desert; it is almost
equally sure destruction to venture north
or cast into Arizona. The only hope is
toward the south, where beyond tho
Mexican line man may receive help
from scattered rauchcrs and miners, but
the chances are ten TO ono that before
the border is reached the Indian tralcrs
have overtakcn the fugitive.
These fellows are tho terror of tho es-
Gaping convict, for they seldom content
themselves with capturing him alive.
They seem possessed with the desire to
shoot him from ambush. All their sav-
age instincts aro aroused by the chase,
and when they near the fugitive they
divide into several parties and prepare
for the killing. Sometimes they tanta-
lize their victim by pretended chase,
urging him to desperate efforts to es-
cape the fate that is soon to befall him.
If he has n weapon the sport is even bet
ter, rs they draw his fire by various
ruscs and then cripple him, so that his
agony may be prolonged. 1t is shrewdly
suspected that they sometimes torture
victim who shows more than usual spirit.
Then when they have slain him they
bring back n bit of hair or some article
of clothing to show that their work is
done and their reward earned. The
