OUT OF JAIL.
Four Prisoners Escape From the County Jail Last Night by Saving Of
 the Steel Bars.

Four prisoners escape1 from the county jail sometime during last night and are now temporarily enjoying their freedom.
 The prisoners confined in the steel cage were Frank Lee Jarvis on charge of murder. John Dermony, Ed Smith and Julio Montana. charged with burg lary. In some manner unknown to the sheriff's office they secured possession of a saw, and with this they sawed two steel bars of at the bottom of one of the cage doors. which let them into the corridor, where they sawed bar in the window which gave them just room enough to crawl through into the jail yard. where the escape was easy.
 The prisoners must have been fur nished with saw by friends from the outside. as the jail and prisoners were searched only few days ago and noth- ing was found with which they could have cut the steel bars.
 There were six prisoners in the jail, the two remaining being in the front part of the jail, and they say that they did not hear any noise during the night and did not know that their fellow prisoners were gone until this morning.
 The sheriff's posse is out after the escapes and it is probable that they will be captured within a few days. The following description of the es- capped prisoners has been furnished THE SUN by Sheriff Cameron:
 Frank Lee Jarvis, about 30 years old: height. j feet, inches: small. sandy mustache: hair. light. sandy: blue eyes: wore blue Overalls and jumper. soft black hat. No. 6 Congress shoes. square shoulders: balance of face clean shaven.

Flagstaff Reform.

"The PentecOSt is the name of holiness paper published in Los An geles. One of the chief subscribers in this city is Bro. H Hooker of the city hall. The current issue of The Pente- cost contains some correspondence from Flagstaff in which u guiless minister of the holiness church gives great deal of advertising to Sandy Donahue. whom he says he likes in spite of his long ca reer of wickedness. He does not men tion Sandy's name, but his description is so able and vivid that all the friends and acquaintances of CoconinO county's famous eX-sheritf recognize him. The correspondent is surprised, not diScour- aged, at the cussedness of Flagstaff. He says that preaching there is like stand ing in front of the gates of hell to keep people from crowding in. He hasn't made much of an impression on the Skylight City as yer. but he hasn't been there long. He is rather proud that he is there at all. The circum- stance that he was sent to Flagstaff seems to show that he was re garded as a reformer of the first magnitude. Phoenix Republican.

We are strong inforcing nation
And can fight at will;
We shall conquer Spanish countries
II they bother still.
Hold "Manillar We are coming,
Dewey's signal still
Send the army ON to Cuba.
BY Gods grace we will
Germany has sent message
Claiming for their right,
Mckinley answered in hurry
For them. they would have to fight.
England now has warned all nations
Not to interfere.
To keep their gun boats off our waters
And not TO bring them here.
Schley and his men fought bravely,
As they climbed the hill.
Got the Spaniards all to running
And they are at il still.
Ceryera's fleet went in the harbor
In the shadow OF the town,
Sampson fired ON "Moro Castle"
And brought il to the ground.
While he sank the Spanish ysssels
Each one in its track.
Az they tried to leave the channel
Der the Merrimack.
While Spain's versels they were sinking
Beneath the ocean wave,
Spanish soldiers, they were thinking
OF u watery grave.
Santiago has surrendered.
Though they fought in vain.
The soldiers now will be transported
On vessels back to Spain.
Soldier boys are now in training
At our village town.
Max ng every preparation
To cut the Spaniards down.
Soon they will be bound for Cuba
With a knapsack and gun,
When they land at Porto Rico
They will make the Spaniards run.
Now the arms have been surrendered
Cuba shall be free,
And the Nations Spangled Banner,
Shall wave DER land and sea.

As travelled along the road which
was lined with flowers on either side, l
often wondered who had made the pull

that was about twelve miles from the
Golden City. But he said there was

Editor Gardneryille Record.
Dear sir, Thinking that it might be
OF interest to the farmers who have re-
Gently purchased water from the Alpine
Land aud Reservoir Company as well 'ss
other parties interested in irrigation. you
may publish the following statement.
As was previously agreed upon began.
to open the gates OF the AL.R.Cos. dams
situated on the East Carson River Alpine
County Cal. on the 30th. day ofJuly. The
first dam or gate op ned was ut a small
lake called Raymond Lake. at 3 o'clock
p. III July 30th. The depth of water in
said lake above the bottom of gate was
3 1t. 2 in.
Next was Sunset Lake at 5 o'clock p M.
Of same day with ) feet 2 inches of water
above bottom OF gate. Both of these
dams flow down the Markleeville branch
OF The East Fork of the Carson River.
Next and third dam or gate opened was
on lower Kinney Lake at 7.30 p. M. of
tune day Depth of water above bottom
Of gate feet.
Next gate opened was at upper Kinney
I.age. which flows into and through the
lower Kinney Lake. This dam had It.
. in. ofwater above the bottom OF gate,
and was opened at I o'clock A. M.July 81.
Both the last named Lakes flow into the
East Carson River through Silver Creek.
At 3 o'clock p NJ. August ist. small
stream was turned on from Tamarack
Lake which perhaps contained more wat
er than any of the other dams mentioned,
although having only rect of water
above the bottom of gate the surface cov-
cred is very much larger than any of the
others. This Lake finds its outlet through
the same channel as Raymond and Tam
arack.
August 4th the gate at Tamarack was
opened to its full capacity 50 as to keep
up a full head, the dams having begun
to fail.
As near as could acertain it took the
water fourteen hours to reach Marklee
/ vile after leaving the dams, and from x
to 2S hours to reach Gardnerville or the

The storms of Friday and Saturday
were allowed For by eliminatory measure
ments for twelve hours after the storm
which however as the water was falling
on these days gives somewhat reduced
vaiae to. The quantity of mean raise.
These averages are the mean of at least
3 and usually OF 8 or 6 readings per diem.
Ii will be seen that the maximum in
crease was approximately q of the nor
mal and the average was nearly two fifths
but as the seepage in the river bed was
already taken up by the notural flow, all
OF The increase could be used, while only
50 much OF lie normal could be utilized
as was not wasted by seepage in the gray
Ell beds in the channel,
For the purposes of this report, | have
not thought it necessary to go into the
details Of my calculations, but the figures
upon which these conclusions are based
are al the disposal of any one who wishes
to est their accuracy.
