VIM. Orr, charged with highway
robbery and shooting Thos. Vaughn,
near Cortland some time ago, and
Joe White, captured in Kansas sew
eral weeks ago and brought back
for trial for stealing a pair of horses
from Jas. Smith, north of town,
made their escape from Jail Friday
evening about s o'clock. By their
escape it has been discovered that
the steel cages are not invinclble
against dangerous men.
The bars they sawed through
were u by ! inches and made of
corrugated steel. After gaining their
liberty from the cages they made an
opening through the brick wall and
with the aid of a blanket lowered
themselves to the ground and made
off.
At the time OF the escape there
was no one at the jail but Mrs. Col
yer, the sheriff's wife, and hearing
an unusual noise she surmised some
thing was going wrong and arming
herself with pistol went to the
opening made by the prisoners and
stood guard while a messenger was
sent for the sheriff.
Two slender, thin saws, used by
gun smiths and other workers in
steel, were picked up on the outside
near the opening in the wall, eyi

oners, one had been broken in two
pieces. How they obtained posses
sion of these saws is q mystery.
On several different occasions in
searching the cells, different articles
were found made by the prisoners to
effect escape, the most dangerous OF
which were saws made from the
steel shank of shoe. Only short
time ago the sheriff discovered a
prisoner at work on the bars with
one of these improvised saws. The
fellow made good progress in going
through the outside layer of iron,
but when he struck the steel plate
his saw almost proved failure
Where promiscuous visiting is al
