longing TO the State I'm this city includ-
ing the penitentlary. The Senator says
the resolution is intended to empower the

date, 80 that, by comparison with the

burglarising the store of ID. D. Mink

and who were confined in the county
Jail here awaiting the action of the
grand jury, broke Jail last night and
have not been recaptured. They sue
ceeded in some way in removing the
staple which held the bar in the lock-
box and as the lower bar was not
locked they had only to slide it out Of
the way and the door was open. The
staple was removed it appears by reach
ing the hand through section of the
lattice work and sliding a thin piece
of wood or iron along beneath the
staple and lifting it up, when it would
turn over and fall out of the bar, thus
relieving it and leaving it free to be
drawn out and the door was opened
without further hindrance. Once in
the open jail, it was an easy matter
with heavy piece of iron they had
wrenched from the building, to burst
open the outer door and gain their
liberty,
