Plans of Prisoners to Escape From Jdtt
Mfscarried.
SANTA ROSA, CAL, July 23.-Sheriff
Allen and his deputies frustrated the
clever scheme of a number of hard charac-
tiers confined in Jail here to escape.
The prisoners planned to break through
one of the corridor doors and then break
through the ceiling as Bruggy and others
did when they made their famous escape
a few months ago. If that failed they
were to conceal themselves in a dark
toilet-room, and when the night Waterman
came to lock up the prisoners they were to
throw red pepper in his eyes, grab him,
lock him up in cell and make their way
out easily. Sheriff Allen learned about
the scheme in time to thwart it. The
prisoners have been working on the plan
for some time, and it is believed would
have killed the Waterman had they found
it necessary, as some of them are desperate
and determined criminals.

KLAMATH FALLS, Or, July 3d.
Watt Pierson, the man who was arrested
at Keno by Deputy United States Marshal
Summers, is believed to be one of the men
who held up the Klamath-Ager stage
three times in as many months. Sufficient
evidence has been collected to hold Pierson
for further investigation.
Pierson lived at Keno, a small place on
the stage line, about eighteen miles from
the scene of the repeated robberies. On
the night of the last robbery he was absent
from home and gave very unsatisfactory
account of his absence. He was seen re-
turning early the following morning.

and stereotyped they were-all running
much like this:

Still Mr.. March had feeling t.1at 1t
would not be discontinued, this every
Christmas offering of q small sum of
money to each one of his kindred; it
was too firmly based on old associa-
ton. With the passage of the years
he had grown apart from them; his in
terests and theirs had become wide
ly separated, and yet he could not well
have persuaded himself to sever this
almost only link which bound him to
the members of his own family.
It had begun soon after he had left
home and come up to the great city
In search of the fortune which had
finally crowned his efforts. He had
done well from the first; and, even now,
as he gazed upon the five checks, he re-
called with slight warmth at his heart

March had written out three checks for
ten dollars and two for twenty-five,

carry into families in which money
was scarce.
He had rejoiced In doing It, all the
more that little effort and self-denial
