ESCAPE IN DAYLIGHT.
They Leave Their Cells While
the Sheriff Is Attend
ing Court.
CITIZENS ARE INDIGNANT.
Three Successful Breaks Have
Demonstrated the Need of
Better Stronghold.

MADEIRA, CAL, June 10.-For the third
time within seven months iail-break has
occurred at the MADEIRA County Jail, and
two more persons charged with felony have
escaped the clutches of the law.
Four weeks ago two men were charged
with robbing the house of Clement Koch
at O'Neals, in this county. Their names
were Albino Gera and Thomas Hearn.
They had their preliminary examination
and were bound over to appear for trial
before the Superior Court. The trial OF
Gera was set for to-day, but the Cain
murder case had not yet been disposed of,
and it was continued till tomorrow.
Immediately after the court adjourned
Sheriff Westfall took Cain from the court
room to put him in the jail. When he
arrived there he found his two prisoners
missing, and in the wall near the floor,
almost in the same place that Bandits
Lawson and haslip drilled their hole, was
an opening large enough for man to
crawl through. Search was Immediately
instituted for the escapes, but tonight no
trace of them had been found.
The two men were in their cells at the
noon hour and the supposition is that they
made their escape some time about
o'clock.
As result of these iailbreaks four des-
perate outlaws are now at liberty. One is
Jim" Lawson, who killed his child and
all but murdered his wife. He was await
ing his second trial when he escaped for
the second time in company with "Jim"
Haslip, who was convicted of the killing
of Pasquale Milesi and had life sentence
hanging over him. Neither of them has
been heard of since their escape.
Citizens are indignant over the action OF
the Board of Supervisors in not allowing
the taxpayers to vote on the question of
issuing bonds for the purpose of building
a courthouse and jail. Some of the pris-
oners have been kept in the Fresno County
Jail until late PERIOD which has cost this
county large outlay without any good be-
ing accomplished.

BOSS TWEED,s SON MISSING.

Learing No Trace Behind.

He disappeared in Strange Manner,
Learing No Trace Behind.
NEW YORK, N. Y, June 1O.-George
Young Tweed, son of "Boss" Tweed OF
New York, has been missing from the
place where he lived, on West Forty-fourth
street, for eleven days. He disappeared in
a strange manner. He left behind no in
timation of his intention and started with
only the clothes he wore and had little if
any money with him.
Search in his accustomed haunts and at
the morgue has been fruitless. No report,
however, has yet been made to the police
of his disappearance. The young man
has had an excellent education in Paris
He stayed there for ten years and learned
to speak three languages fuently. AL
though at one period he dabbled in art,
he never became an especially proficient
painter. Until he reached his majority he
was under the care of guardian, who was
appointed to look after the Tweed children
when the father died in the early 70's.

EVENTS OF SAN JOSE,
Discovery of a Suicides Body
Clears a Mystery of Long
Standing.
Claims Of Edward A. Barron to Be
Heard by Judge Reynolds
July |.

SAN JOSE, CAL. June 1O.-Coroner
Secord yesterday afternoon held an inquest
in Monticello District in the Santa Cruz
Mountains over the body of vineyard en-
ploye named Colens, who disappeared on
May %. His body was discovered in the
brush in that vicinity yesterday morning.
Beside it lay an empty strychnine bottle.
The day before Colens disappeared he
got into trouble over the stealing of some
sausages, and his fear of arrest prompted
him to take his life. Colens had worked
in the vicinity for seven years, and at the
time of his disappearance was employed
by G. c. Gagliasso. He was native OF
Breton, France, and 63 years of age.

LING SING TO BE DEPoRTED.
Il Celestial Who Has Caused Puget Sound
Officers Much Trouble.

Officers Much Trouble.
PORT TOWNSEND, WASH, June TO-
A deporting order issued Saturday even
ing in the Circuit Court in Seattle in the
case against Ling Sing closed one of the
most remarkable cases of Celestial dupli-
city on record.
Ten years prior to the fall of 1883 Ling
was chef abroad the United States cutter
Wilcott, then station here. One day, when
the vessel was lying in dock at Victoria,
Ling returned from trip uptown and fell
on the dock, spilling five ten-tael boxes of
contraband opium from the folds of his
loose-fitting garments. On the return
trip, when the vessel crossed the imaginary
line in the straits dividing the countries,
Ling was taken into custody and the
opium seized.
The trial, which ended III a sentence of
eighteen months imprisonment in the
Government penitentiary, developed the
fact that Ling began the traffic soon after
he enlisted, and had succeeded in putting
away something over $50, 600 of smuggling
profits. During the time he was incar-
cerated the Geary law went into effect !;
but despite the fact that no convicts were
permitted to register Ling came forth at
the expiration of his term of serYitude
armed with certificate bearing his exact
description and photograph, differing only
in the name, which he then gave as Ma
Cook.
He was rearrested and claimed the old
name was only an alias, but the court held
differently and ordered him deported. The
case also developed the fact that bogus
certificate dealer is plying his nefarious
trade with headquarters at Spokane, and
customs officers from here are now work
ing to run him down.

the News from Lander, Wyo., says:
Elmer Hank, one of the most prominent
men of Fremont County, who retired
from the Office of County Treasurer in 1898,
has been found to be defaulter in the

ployed by the County Commissioners, dis
covered false entries in the books of the
Treasurer which enabled him to get away
with the money. He was notified to fix
up the matter and promised to do so on
Friday last, but did not put in an appear
ance. The Sheriff went to Washable,
where Hank was employed in mer-
camille house, and also acting as post
master. 1t was then discovered that he
had left the day before, and it was found
that he had robbed the postofice of over
$500. When last seen he was riding a

TO SEARCH FOR CACHED OPIUM.
The Mission Which VIII Take a Rerenue
CATER to MoIoEas Island

VICTORIA, B. c., June 10. - The
Hawaiian mail, which arrived on the War
rimoo, states that revenue cutter with a
diver on board has gone to Molokas
Island to look for opium supposed to have
been sunk by the schooner Norma,
which sailed from here last fall. II
is pretty well understood here that
the Norma had opium on board
when she left, and it is believed that the
owners have not yet realized on it, al
though one of them spent all winter in
Hawaii. 1t is just possible that it was
cached off Molokai and is still there. The
manager of one of the largest factories in
the province has just returned from Homo.
lulu. 1t is believed he went down on the
same business.
