A wINDY.WELL.
Strange Underground Draft OK Ar
Found ia a Deep Sinking.

Underground Draft OF Atf
y Found ia a Deep Sinking.
Arizona possesses some Of the great
est natural wonders in the world, no,
the least of which Is this phenomenon
of q current of air issuing from or go
ing into the bowels of the earth through
sundry natural and artificial openings
made In the earth's crust.
Something over year ago MI
Coufman undertook the drilling or
well at his place. Everything went
well to a depth of some twenty-five
feet. when the drill suddenly dropped
some six feet and a strong current. oil
air issued from the hole. The escap
ing air current was so strong that Il
blew off the mems hats who were re
covering the lost drill.
The well was Of course abandoned
and left to blow, but there are some
peculiarities about it that are worthy
of observation. The air Will escape
from the well for days at time with
such force that pebbles the size of peas
are thrown out and piled up about its
mouth until 1t looks very much like the
expanded portion of a funnel. At the
same time it is accompanied by sound
much like the distant believing Of q
fog horn. This noise is not always pres.
ent, because the air does not at all times
escape with the same force. Again
there will be for days a suction cur.
rent, unaccompanied by sound, in
which the current OF air passes into
the earth, with some less force than II
escapes, and any light object, as a
feather, piece of paper or cloth, will,
II held in close proximity, be immedi'
ately sucked into the subterranean lab
yrinth Of Eolus.
Just the cause OF this phenomenon nc
one has yet been able to determine
but 1t Is supposed that there is an un
foreground opening between the Grand
Canyon Of the Colorado, which cleaves
the earth for more than mile in depth
and the Sycamore canyon, some eighty
miles to the south of it, OF the same
proportions, but much shorter.
This would seem possible from The
fact that the current of air is always
passing from north to south, or vict
versa, varying. of course, few points
Of the compass from the true nerd
Ian, but always in these general direc
tons, as determined by experiment, ans
then the stratum underlying the quater

ATTEPTED JAIL BREAK.
Punched a Hole Through the Wall.
But We're Discovered.


Deputy Sheriffs Vanlentine and Cham
bers are consfafulating themselves that
they were able to Illustrate an attempted
Jail break last evening.
The escape was planned by Frank Stew
art and John Brown, two of the toughest
characters in this western country, who
are imprisoned on a cIarge Of highway
robbery; and their aecompliceS were Elthu
hridzer. alias Charles CauHman, sent up
for larceny; a. ". Griffin fSld Frank Ed
wards. charged with the same offense,
and Walter Mann, the Colorado man ar
rested some time ago for HOUSEKEEPING.
This afternoon some of the prisoners
were very unsteady inclined and this
caused The Sheriff 10 believe that they
were up TO some kind of deyiltry, in con-
sequence Of which he Kept careful watch
and discovered what was going on.
At intervals between the blending of
harmony and discord during the concert
the muffied sound of pounding could be
heard, so the sheriff and his deputies
stationed themselves out of sight of the
prisoners and awaited developments. The
, prisoner removed bricks from the wall
room. evidently believing If they could get
through into the woman 5 room they could
effect their escape through the outer door,
which is usually unlocked When ths
Womans room is unoccuD{ed. The tools
used consisted of two pieces of gas pipe,
Which had been torn from the connections
between the water pipe and bath tub.
The wall IS only six inches thick, so the
prisoners had but little trouble IN break
ing through and succeeded IN cutting a
hole SKA inches through which Griffin
had craWled. and Brown was half way
through when the sheriff and his deputies
fired three shots into the hall way which
put quietuS on the attempted break foI
liberty
the Ja4l is not what it should be by
any means, and that more escapes are
not made IS due TO the vigilance Of the
officers 81 charge When the prisoners
are out N the corridor they can easily
effect their escape through the ceiling. Il
noI watched. as it is nothing but hath and
plaster. Edison. the murderer, made his
escape by this avenue and when the
prisoners are in the corridor during the
Gay TIME il is necessary to keep them
under constant surveillance or they would
get out 81 little or no time.
The sheriff has brought this 10 the at
tention Of the county commissioners and
ii IS believed that steps VIII soon be
taken towards strengthening the Jail
