TWO PRISONERS ESCAPE FROM THE JAIL.
On last Tuesday night the inmates
of the county jail struck for liberty,
and it was the only successful strike
on record this year. They were Jake
Smith, who eioped with one of John
McDowell's horses about month
ago, and John Mayo, who has been
in the horse business for some time
but was only captured about three
weeks since. They broke up chair
in the jail and with one of the rounds
succeeded in opening the box which
contains the keys to the cells. With
the keys they unlocked the cell doors
and let themselves out into the cor
ridor. They then commenced work
on the brick wall at the north end
of the building just under the win
dow. When hole large enough for
them to crawl out was made they made
the strike for liberty and got it too,
for nothing has been heard from
them since. Mayo Is wanted on a
number of charges not only here but
in Bent and Las Animas counties al
so. A large reward has been offered
for their capture.

THE TINY RivULET THAT DEVELOPS
INTO THE MIGHTY MISSISSIPPI.

DE-. Elliott Cones Recent Observations on
the True Source Of the Father OF Wa
ters-sIx Miles From Lake Itasea the
Great River Rises From the Ground.
Dr.. Elliott Coues, the somewhat &C.
centric ornithologist, scientist and the
osophist, recently visited the headwa-
tiers Of the Mississippi river and con-
frmed the previous report of NicOllet
and Brewer that the real source of the
Father Of Waters is the Graded Achil-
les, a small stream that rises from
springs about six miles from Lake Itasca
and flows into the lake An attempt
was recently made by Captain Glazier
to show that the real source Of the Mis-
Eissippi was a small lake he mOdestly
named Lake Glazier, but Dr. Coues has
verified IN the minutest particulars the
observations of Nicollet and Brewer.
Starting at Deer lake, Itasca county,
Mimi, DR.. Coues proceeded up the riv-
er TO Lake Itasca IN birch bark canoe.
He reached the lake after ten days pad
