afternoon. between and 3 o'clock, Wal
ter Barth, sentenced in December, 1892,
to seven years for the crime of horse
stealing, made his escape from the Nevada
State Prison. Barth was employed as
fireman of the engine which pumps
water from the springs to supply the
prison. The engine-room is located in the
southwest corner of the yard, almost un-
der guardhouse No. 6. There is a space
between the engine-room and back wall
OF the quarry where it is impossible for
the guard to see a person. Barth crawled
up TO the wall at this point and came out
on the outside of the prison wall just be-
yond the guardhouse. The guard on
duty at the time says he saw him at 2:30,
but when the closing down time came at
o'clock the bird had flown.

south of the creek. Darkness coming on
the trail was lost. At daylight this morn
ing they again started on the trail. The
prisoner knows every inch of the ground
in the surrounding country and has
numerous friends in Carson Valley who
will aid him in making his escape.
Barth was one of the shrewdest prison.
ers in the institution. The escape was
well planned. Only one guard was on
duty Sunday. This greatly aided him in
carrying out his plans. 1t has been
learned that after escaping Barth made

ported to have been seen. Barth is well
armed and desperate. At last accounts

January and February the Malaga grape
Is the only grape on sale in this country.
About 100000 barrels of these grapes are
annually imported. The revenue amount
ed to Sl50,000. The importer said he did
not advocate the placing of these grapes
on the free list, as he believed these inn
portations should pay a fair and equitable
tribute to this country. Were the grapes
put on the free list, however, he did not
think the domestic product would suffer.
If the duty was reduced or the grapes
placed on the free list. the importations
would increase to 400,0 barrels. We're
the importations increase to this point
the price per barrel would decrease 80
cents on account of the larger supply, and
