From Tuesdays Ia iy-
 All manners of wild rumors have been afoat during yesterday and to- day in regard to the pursuit of the outlaws who escaped from jail on Sunday, but up 10 a late hour thls after noon nothing definite had been received at the sheritf's office.
 Fred Stevens, the Camp Verde Stage driver, who arrived last night stated that two men had camped on Sunday night in gulch south of Martin Rust's place on Ash creek leaving at daylight on Monday morning. Sheriff Rufuer aud others of the officers party arrived there about seven hours behind them and kept on their trail.
 1t is now pretty we'll known that Parker IS heading for the Mogollou mountains where 1t is said he has lots of friends, who will assist him.
 Dolph Blair. another of the four who were arrested on Sunday, has been released as there was absolutely no evidence to connect him with the affair. The fact is now demonstrated to almost a cer- tainty the plot to escape was planned in the jail, aud no outsider knew anything of 1t, or had anything to do with il. It is thought that probably Thompson and Rogers may have been in the plot to escape but even this is only surmise. They appeared at the jail door with the other prisoners, being naturally at tracted there by the scuffle between Meador and the Mexican, and the cries of the former,
 Ex-Sheriff Lowry, who was out with the posse. returned yesterday. He states that man named Me Fadden, who was about one hundred yards from Miller and Parker when they were fired upon by Munds and Ieoman, says Miller was shot in the kuee. IL is also stated that on Sun dsy evening, two or three hours af- ter Miller was wounded, two miners saw Parker At a point about four miles east from where Muller was shot aud that Parker was alone and was leading his horse. He did not speak to the men.
 George Merritt telephoued last evening from Chaparral that he had struck the trail of the Mexican lead iug towards Turkey Creek and that he was afoot. It is stated that the Mexican has q brother living in Turkey Creek and is welt known to the Mexicans generally. Under Sheriff Dillon telephoned to Merritt to take the trail and follow tt, if nec- essary into Mexico.
 Turnbull and Cannon, who went out yesterday, returned last night. They also reported having struck the Nexican's trall on Lynx Creek and to have followed it past the old shelter and down the Chaparral road to a Mexican cabin, where they found three empty Winchester cart ridge boxes.
