Five Inmates OF Laconia jail Boldly
Make Their Escape.
Laconla, n. H., Jan. 21.-Another Jail~
breaking episode was added to the hiss
tory of the Belknap county Jail here last
night, and this time five prisoners, one
OF whom was undergoing sentence, ex~
changed their cells for the freedom OF the
country. The escaped prisoners ara
Albert Pike, under sentence for break-
ing and entering. and Jessie Reynolds.
Patrick Briscall, Henry Kumas ana
Jerry McColley who are being held for
the grand jury on various charges.
The men broke Jail in a bold manner.
They demolished the cell locks by using
the iron posts OF their bed frames. and.
with the posts as weapons, made their
way to the roof OF the Jail, getting out
on the roof through a skylight. That
their plan OF escape had been carefully
made is shown by the fact that they had
torn up the sheets and knct;cd them
into a rope. by which means the ground
was reached from the roof. The men
then scattered ard apparently were .
long way off when the alarm was given.
There have been previous breaks az
the Jail, and. strange TO say several OF
the escaped prisoners have eot out By
the same skylight.

 The contestants were Oscar Geier of this city and Denny Gallagher, a re- several bouts with local sports, but non- of which could actually be called mills. Geier has the advantage of Gallagher in reach and heighth and weight, yet the latter had long expressed willing nsss to go up against him, and yesterday morning he was accommodated to his hearts content.
