BROKE OPEN THE CELL DOOR

Colfax, Wash, Nov. u.-Another
jailbreak occurred in the Jail Of Whit
man county last night. and the author
tiles are reticent on the subject.
At a rather late hour Tailor 3. r.
Newcomer started to lock up the pris-
oners for the night. He was putting on
the padlocks on the inner cells of the
lower department, and when he came
to the last cell the inmates Of it sprang
upon and broke the door and grasped.
bound and gagged the jailOr, then took
his keys, unlocked their felloW-prison-
ers and made for their liberty. In the
hallway they were surprised by finding
Sheriff Lathrum and Deputy Osborn,
who were not at all slow in giving
chase. Mr.. Lathrum fired his revolver
into the ceiling, whereupon one Of the
escapes, by the name of Murphy, threw
up his hands and said: II wasn't going
to escape anyway" The others-Frank
Kelly, Thomas Elliott. William Wag-
ner and Andrew Reidt-unheeded the
demands of the sheriff and his deputy
and made their escape through the
front door Of the courthouse. From
here they made up Mill street and then
climbed the big hill back of the resi-
dence of Mr.. Bellinger. They were
traced by quickly organized posse
into an adjoining field, where it is
thought that they separated. No doubt,
however, Kelly and Elliott are yet to-
gether, for they were partners in cattle
stealing before entering Jail.
Reidt was overtaken early in the
morning on the farm Of Mr.. Shroll, who
lives near Guy. He was found sleep
ing in strawstack and fought desper-
ately for his freedom. He carried the
jailor's revolver. The others are at
large.
Jailor Newcomer was but slightly in
Jured, but might have suffered more
had 1T not been for the friendly assist
ance of one of the remaining prisoners.
Inc prisoners escape was effected by
ming the latch Of the last cell in the
department where the escape occurred,
SO that when the jailor locked the cells
from the outside all seemed secure
within, but in fact this cells lock was
SO weak that the united effort Of the
inmates was sufficient to easily break
through upon the unfortunate jailor.

Agreed with His Cross Examiner.

Mr.. James Hyde, once lawyer in a
small town on Long Island, tells good
story about himself. He says:
sit was when used to practice law
in little town near the center of the
state. A farmer had one of his neighbors
arrested for stealing ducks, and l was
employed by the accused to endeavor to
convince the court that such was not the
case. The plaintiff was positive that his
neighbor was guilty because he had seen
the ducks in the defendants yard
How do you know they are your
ducks?' asked.
"'Oh l should know my own ducks
anywhereF replied the farmer, and he
gave description of their various Pc
ouliarities whereby he could readily dis.
tinguish them from Others
Why, said l, those ducks can't be
of such rare breed. Ihave seen some just
like them in my own yard
"'That's not at all unlikely, replied
the farmer, for they are not the only
ducks have had stolen lately In

to Chicago and worked as a clerk, but

He then went to Minneapolis to study
medicine. There. he married, much
against his mothers will, and few
months later he killed a man whom
he found in his house. He fled and

him in Colorado few years ago. and
when Mrs. Valentine died she believed
her son to be still living.
