committee on elections by the house to

Attempt at Jail Delivery.

A desperate attempt at delivery
was made by some of the % prison
ers in the county Jail at Davenport,
last Saturday night. A few of them
had secured steel saw and they had
been working away for several hours
before being discovered by the turn
key. They had succeeded in saving
through two OF the iron bars in one
OF the windows on the south side,
and few hours more would proba-
bly, have set them free. As soon as
the work was discovered the prison.
ers were locked in their cells and
kept there all day Sunday. The
Democrat says:
Several attempts have been made
by criminals to cut their way out of
the old Jail in the past few years, but
they have been unsuccessful ones.
The county is badly in need of Il new
building. Something should he done
to make imprisonment in the present
Jail better than it is
