us Saturday. He was down on
business connected with the firm he
represents and also stage matters.
1t rained quite steadily for two
hours last Saturday night, and Main

vantage that there was an extra crop

suit us better.

Thoms Ryan, who was bound over
to appear before the Grand Jury
for forging checks very nearly es-
capped from our Jail Sunday night.
He had held out case knife and on
Sunday evening aparty was passing
the Jail and saw light in the Jail
through very small hole in the
south side OF the Jail. He immed-
lately went and hunted up night
Waterman, Russ Scott, who went
down, and got there just in time to
prevent his escape. Ryan had dug
a hole through the wall, putting the
dirt and rocks in his blankets and
had undoubtedly just broken
through when the party passed who
discovered the light shining through
the hole. Another half hour and
he would have taken leg bail for
parts unknown. He was put in the
steel cell and on Tuesday Deputy
Sheriff 10 hnson took him to Phoebe.
J. Nelson, who was arrested for
stealing ore from the April Fool
mine, had his hearing Friday and
was discharged. 1t appears from
the testimony that Nelson was Sleep
ing in the cabin and the ore was
found under his bed, and he dis
claimed any knowledge whatever of
the ore and did not know it was
there and who put it there. Mr.. CAL
Iery testified that Thos Ryan, (who is
now in jailbound over to appear be-
lore the grand jury, sent for him
and told him that he had some fine
ore of the April Fool mine and had
,ased it under the bed in the cabin
which was occupied by Nelson, and
wanted Gallery to get it, dispose of
he same and he would divide.
Upon this showing Ryan was
into Court and did not
leny the taking of the ore. Ryan
hen was bound over in the sum of
1900 for the offense which he was
Unable to give. In justice to Mr..
Nelson who has been a trusted
of the April Fool Company
or the past year, and who the
harvest all times had the
almost confidence in was given his
lid position with the Company.
This is one of those cases in which
appearances leads to on in justice
,eing unintentionally done. Salt
