Foley Breaks Jail.

a metropolitan paper to-day:
WARRENToN, Mo-, Jan. 20.-Thom-
as Foley, who was placed in Jail here
by the Montgomery county authori-
ties several months ago, took his de-
parture last night by breaking Jail.
Foley is one of the two tramps held
for the murder of their two compan-
ions at Wellsville, Mo-, last October.
Foley turned States evidence, impli-
eating his partner and exonerating
himself, but will not likely be on hand
to testify when the case is called next
April.
William Moore, the man whom
Foley accused of the murder, is in
Jail in this city, but the authoritief
want to keep the news of his erstwh1le
partners escape from him. He will
probably be acquitted, as there will
be no testimony that can be brought
against him. His health is now very
poor, as he is wasting away with con-
sumption.

A Nephew Of W. q. French, Of This
City, Killed in 0regon-Was q
Millionaire.


Peter French, the millionaire cattle
man OF Oregon, nephew OF w. 81.
French, OF this city, wss murdered on
his ranch ia Harney county, on sun
day. Dec. 2s. David Grow, an en-
ploye of Mr. French. was an eye
witness 10 the killing and thus de-
scribes ths affair In an Oregon paper:
He says French and band OF va
queros had rounded up q band of cat
tie, and we're about to drive them in-
to field ON his ranch. French went
ahead on horseback to open q gate,
and having done 40, started back to
the cattle. A man or horseback in
tercepted him, and they engaged in
In dispute lasting several minutes.
French started to ride away, but got
only few feet when the other drew
q pistol and shot him. French fell to
the ground dead, with a bullet in his
brain.
/ The murderer rode away, and
French's men, being unarmed, made
no attempt to capture him. Notice
was at once sent to the officers at
Burns, forty six miles from the scene
of the tragedy, and the murderer, q
man named Oliver, was arrested.
French was 4s years old, and one OF
the best known cattle men on the
Pacific coast. His Oregon ranch Ia
valued at $4,000, 900. French had
many violent enemies in the section
where he lived, and had often ex-
pressed the belief that he would be
murdered some day. He was in the
habit of going armed, but was with
out weapon when shot down.

mail will probably reach the United
States before that which we sent from
Charles Island on the 7th of last
month. The Leander leaves here for
Acapulco tomorrow and from there
to San Diego, Cal, which they will
reach In two weeks or so. Probably
spend Christmas in San Diego.
Since leaving Charles Island have
visited the lower end of AIbemarle;
shot handsome fiamingos from or in
tropical lagoons. Wading in soft mud
from six inches to three feet deep for
them was as good as taking course
at Paso Robles Mud Springs. Have
been stuck at nightfali in the roots
and limbs of mangroves, unable to get
through to boat for deep water before
and impenetrable thickets behind and
at each side. Boat finally pushed
through limbs and we came out over
water and descended into boat from
limbs of mapgrove trees. Boys could
hardly tell how they had showed boat
In, but finally managed to find way
out. The machete is handy instru-
ment in this country. You have un-
doubtedly heard of it in connection
with the Cuban war. The way brush
and trees fall before it Is caution to
an unbeiever who has never seen it
in operation. We use it occasionally
through thick brush.
A walk here from four to eight or
ten miles is equal to one in California
hills of 20 to 80 miles. A person in
best country here can walk 10 miles,
perhaps, in a day and be completely
tired out at night. On some of the
lava tracts a walk of mile would take
two or three hours.
A few days ago I walked to the top
of one of the old craters on this
island. 1t is composed of FIVE craters,
or volcanoes. This one was about two
miles across. The floor was from 500
to 1000 feet below the sides, a cooled
mass of lava. I had not time to go
down. 1t was quite sight. took a
photo of 1t.
This morning we took boat and
gathered ignanas, turtles and cactas
for tortoise. 1t affords me much pleas
ure to pull great ignana four feet
long out of a hole in rocks along sea
shore with boys in the boat interested
spectators, while roar of surf and call
of birds are blended together in inde-
scribable harmony or discord, just as
you like it.
Penguins are very common here
dart about in water like seals. be-
lieve described them in my former
letter.
Fried plantains are delicacy we
are now enjoying for breakfast. They
make a delicious dish-very similar in
growth and taste to bananas. We
found several punches at south end OF
this island at a deserted plantation.
Two days ago we sailed across to
Norborough Island, about one five-
hundredth part of which is disin-
tegrated enough to allow few weeds
and bushes to grow. We found land
ignana there-red back, yellow head
quite an odd looking beast. We col
lected few.
The sailors are now scraping barna-
cles from the ship bottom, which is
covered with them, preparatory to our
trip homeward. We leave here in a
day or 60 for Tower Island, thence to
Cocos and tnen for Frisco. We
don't expect to get there before the
middle of March-unless winds are
very favorable. We are apt to have
Gains till we get 500 miles west oi
here and then strike northeast OF
northwest trade winds, SO We will have
to slow up. AS ever,
