Our citizens were surprised last
Friday morning to learn that Les
ter, charged with forgery, and Hall,
charged with horse-stealing, had
escaped. An examination showed
that they bad taken a four inch
scantling, about IL feet long, which
had been left in the corridor of the
jail, placed it on the top Of the cell
crib, and let one end rest on the
west wall Of the Jail, at an angle Of
about 90 degrees, and that by
climbing it they had been enabled
TO reach the roof Of the Jail, where
it required but small effort to cut
through the inch poplar boards and
tin roof. They had fastened .
number Of bed blankets together
and let themselves down from the
roof to the ground, making their
escape easy. As it is claimed no
one heard them at work, it is sup
posed they got out after people gen.
orally had gone to bed, though the
time is not known.
When Sheriff Cassidy, about 8
o'clock, Thursday night, went to
lock them up for the night in the
crib, he glanced 1t their beds, and
seeing the covers punched up in the
middle remarked that they were in
bed, locked the crib door and wen
out. It is supposed they we're ther
hiding in the corridor around tn,
cells, where they had been permitted
10 60 in order to keep up the fire ir
the stove. They may have beer
out 1t that time. When Mrs. Cas-
sidy took in their breakfasts Frida,
morning she unlocked the crib door
and called them to come and eat

out, but Lester and Hall did not

Judge Fitzgerald Dead

Over the wires from Solomonville to
Gov. Franklin yesterday came the mes
sage: my father died upon his arrival
home, yesterday, from apople1y.
j. +. Fitzgerald.
This dispatch came like thunder
bolt from cloudless sky to the friends
of Judge Fitzgerald in this city and
many expressions of grief were heard.
Judge Fitzgerald came to Graham coun-
ty in 1873, from San Diego, aud started
the Clifton Carton, which paper be pub
lished for years. Later he became clerk
OF the supervisors, and later on was elect
ed probate judge Of Graham county,
but at the time OF his death and several
years prior, he has been engaged in the
mercantile business at Solomonville
where his family resides. Judge Fitz-
gerald was man Of strong character.
He loved his friends and was loyal to
their interests, aud many man in Ari
IONA can testify the generosity of j. T.
Fitzgerald, big hesrted, generous eoul,
and one of the br8iniest men in Graham
county. The deceased leaves wife and
three children, to whom the Gszette
tenders its heartfelt sympathy, and
trusts that time and fortune will deal
kindly with those left to mourn a noble
husband and father.-Gszette.
