The Water Question.

The civil engineers appointed to investigate the question of water supply for Prescott held Q meeting on Saturday afternoon and evening lasting until late at night consider ing and discussing the various prop ositlons. All of the cammittee were present except R. R. Coleman who is al work in Walnut Canyon near Flagstaff. The Banning creek pIop- osition was considered not feasible on account of the insdequacy of storage sites. Aspen creek was not looked on with favor, the same ob- jections being found to it that have already been raised by the JOURNAL MINER. The Potts proposition was considered the most feasible, the estimate for it being $S0,000.

He lefs his fate to the superior Iudg- ment of horse he was riding, ana was taken oIe afternoon to the ranch of a man named Jones, who treated him hospitably anal the next morning put hiIn an tho right road. He was surprised to learn that Jones was an old partner and warm friend of Parker, the convicted murderar, who, he says, is one of the noblest men God ever made. Jones said that Parker would have gotten away safely, but for two things. The first was the killing of Norris. When Parker drst came among his frieuds ou the range after his escape, they held meeting to consider the advisabilitY of aTorling him assist anee. They decided that inasmuch ss he had killed Norris, the reward likely to be offered would be so high as to excite betrayal. Then again, some of the COW boys were indig- nant because he had committed needless under, and were apathetic regarding hi. fate. He remained with them some days, and rode with them on the range. Jones believes that If he had stayed among them, he might never have been taken, and that his fatal mistake was made in trying to leave the country too soon. -Phenix Republican.

The court Of appeals, sitting at Fort
Scott, has affirmed the decision OF the
district court of this county in the
case of The State of Kansas VS.. JOHN

aud sentenced to ninety days in the
county Jail and fined $500. Tegder

the state.
An appeal was taken and the case
was argued before the appellate court

Henry. 1t landed on his solar piexus
and caused temporary paralysis, affect.
ing his heart. Henry fell to the floor
unconscious. He has been kept under
the influence of morphine ever since
to alleviate the eXcruciating pain Of
the heart. Kain was arrested this
morning and his trial set for 2 o'clock
this afternoon before the police judge.
The trouble occurred last night
about 6 o'clock while KAN was under
the influence of malt and temporarily
insane. Kahn and Pat McClOsky, a
farmer, were 10Th drinking in Henry'S
place. Kahn and McClOsky are enemies
and they became involved in a quarrel

Let me show you how | will settle
that lriShman."
With the remark, Kahn struck
Henry a terrible blow over the heart.

Attempted to Break Jail.

The four prisoners confined in the
cSnty jail came very near breaking
out last Wednesday night. They were
discovered by Jailer Hnchclitfe just
in time to prevent their escape.
In some manner the prisoners got
hold of steel saw, with which they
succeeded Wednesday afternoon in
saving away the braces on the lower
part of the entrance door to the lion
cage. The legs of an eating table in
the cage were used to pry the bottom
of the iron door up. When discovered
the prisoners had the door open nearly
far enough to crawl through,
The prisoners worked on the job
from 4 O'Clock Wednesday afternoon
until O'Clock in the evening.
Mr.. Hinchcliffe fed the prisoners at
4 O'ClOCk. He has not been in the
habit of visiting the Jail regularly
after that hour until ! o'clLck in the
evening. That night when he entered
the jail to retire he noticed there was
no light in the Jail. This was an un-
usual thing, aud aroused his SuSpi-
ciOnS. He lit lamp TO investigate
things before he retired, and found
the door to the cage as described. joe
HeSkett was sent for and thepgisOnerS
were put in the cells Of the cage and
guarded all night.
Had Jailer HinChcIffe delayed his
appearance at tue Jail five minutes
longer, the prisoners would have
z9een out Of there and gone. 1t would
hve required only few seconds to
kick a hole through the brick wall of
the Jail. 1t seems incredible that
prisoners could escape from
the iron cage in the Jail in three
hours, but tue four smooth gentlemen
confined there came within an ace of
accomplishing this feat Wednesday,
This is the second attempt that has
ever been made by prisoners to escape
from the cage. The bars are Of steel
half an inch thick and nearly two
inches 10 width. 1t required hare
work to cut through the steel and ply
up the bottom of yhe cage door in the
short time of three hours.
TIE prisoners who attempted to es-
cape were George Cox, express money
order fraud: Charles Meade and ]. A
Million, harness thieves, and JONI
James Jones, wheat thief. They art
all professional crooks.
