Of cell and one from cell 10, and together
they went out of the corridor
About the same moment the officer was called
into the receiving hospital which opens off
the MAIN corridor. His back was no more
turned than the men who were hiding in cell
came out and IN very short time they scaled
an iron door and disappeared through trap
door that leads into Il garnet. Their escape
was discovered almost Instantly and before
they could reach enc OF the skylighLs they
were naDbed by The officers.

Now that the Alameda milkmen have no fight
against the Board OF Health, they are utilizing
their local organization in another way. Ala
media. with its many natural advantages, is not
exempt from the festive deadbeat who does not
hesitate to cheat the Woodworking milkman
out of his honestly earned dollars. Their
method of operation is to let a mllkman serve
them with the unadulterated tactical fluid for a
month or two and then to dismiss MIN without
the formality of settling their account. An
other dealer is tried, and so they continue until
the entire list Is exhausted.
The milkmen are tired of this, and through
their protective association have created
black list, which will contain the names OF all
who do not dig up'' at the first of the month,
and no milkman Will serve person whose
name appears on the list unless paid in adj
vance.

the cart, and McEnerney was too overcome TO
arise, and so was left. The cart and harness
are not recovered. and hence the charge.
