The Jail breaking of w. c. Gordon,
the fact of which was told in Wednes-
days Standard, appears to have been
plan for general Jail delivery. I'm
der Sheriff Moore, who is also jailer,
had gone to supper, and while he was
away Gordon made his escape Cor
don had evidently been gone but a few
IN Wy Nr
Jack Reynolds, another prisoner was
just in the act of squeezing himself
through the bars when he was pushed
back by the under sheriff. Mr.. Rey-
nolds, who is held on a charge of rape,
had thrown out a bundle containing
his belongings, together with a lunch,
and was all ready to follow his fellow
prisoner to liberty when he was dis
covered by the sheriff Two more des-
perate men are also in jail Their
names are Frank Flanagan and Rus
sell II. Mcneil. They had been bound
over Monday in bonds of ST. 500 each to
await the action of the district court
by Justice James. These two men are
the ringleaders of the gang that Phil
Carr and ]. Conn belonged to, and it
was in the effort to break up that gang
that Carr met death The crime for
which they are bound over is changing
the brands on horses. The men had
formerly been in the employ of State
Senator Hurd of Valley county
Stock Inspector George Taylor has
been making a thorough roundup of
the horses of this county the past
season and now has $50 head of I'M
branded horses which he offers for
sale on the tenth of the coming month
the proceeds of the sale to go towards
paying the roundup expenses. The
animals are of all ages from yearlings
up. 1t is the intention to look after
range horses more closely hereafter,
and see that they are branded every
year. The number of mavericks on the
ranges during the past few years has
proved to be great temptation for
"rustlers,' and they grew quite bold in
the practice of stealing horses.
Revenue Collectors ToWne and
French We're down from Butte the first
