Oh tne FREQ II. Reed residence, and John
Lutz, the clothes line thief, made their
escape from the county jail by cutting q
hole through the brick wall. The sheriff
and his deputies were away at the time
attending to other duties, but Deputy
Field returning short time afterward
from the bedside OF his sick wife lost no
time in securing the country and was so
successful that before noon both of the
men were again in limbo, Lutz ha wing
been found to the north OF the city and
Wilson in Parker Bottom. When the
jail is so crowded that all the prisoners
cannot be confined in the steel cell there
is no means of securing the other prison
ers excepting through the vigilence of
the officers and this they have shown on
numerous occasions, one Of the latest be-
being but a couple of weeks previous
when q similar break for freedom was
made.
The Pasco News, in noting the arrival
in that village OF Attorney Fred Miller

fellow, and was given the first degree in
the ancient and honorable order OF
crooked solo tends, holding its sessions
Thursday evening at the Exchange
Brother DIR. Haynie occupied the supreme
cranks' chair. From all accounts, Fred
was called upon quite frequently to deco
rate the mahogany, and upon leaving
town admitted that the Yakima club. of
which he is member, is behind in the
secret work of that noble order, and says
he will return to North Yakima amply
prepared to instruct his brothers of that
city in the secret work and give them the
latest signs, grips and passwords"
Judge Bellinger, who presided over the
U. S. court at Walla Walla, is a most
lenient officer. Joe Taylor, who was
charged with passing counterfeit money,
pleaded guilty and was given one year on
McNeil's island. The case against his
brother was dismissed. The prisoners
convicted OF selling liquor to Indians were
mainly given three months. although a
Chinaman got six months, VIM. Druse
80 days in the Walla Walla Jail, and two
others one day each. 1t is fortunate for
the prisoners that Judge Hanford did not
preside.

of the opinion that small wooden mill
