dent Monday. He was leaning
with his elbow on the windlass,

catching his arm and wound him
into the windlass, and before the
engineer could respond to the
signal to stop the engine, his arm
was badly mashed. DR.. McEIfresh
was sent for and dressed the in
jury. While Mr.. Wilson has a
bad arm, nothing serious will re-
suit from the injury.

BROKE JAIL.
Four Prisoners Escaped From
tile Jail Yesterday After

Ike Legg, charged with felony,
Ira Bradley, colored, in Jail on de-
fsult of bond, and charged with
felony, Ike Kent, colored, charged
with stealing copper from the Hope
Salt and Coal Company, of Mason
City, and Jessie Dunlap, in Jail on
a capias, broke Jail about three
O'Clock yesterday afternoon, and
escaped to the woods, and eluded
their pursuers.
They had torn up the iron bed
steads and made prizes out of the
rails, muffling them with blankets
to drown tho noise, and with these
prizes, they removed the pipe in
the water-cIoset Of their cell, and
then pried up the iron floor, (the
iron giving way like so much
wood,) and making hole large
enough to get through, dropped
themselves down into the fowl
air chamber, and crawIed through
it to the rear of the building, where
they got open the furnace doors,
used for burning up the offaIs from
the closets, and made their escape.
No blame can be laid to the Sheriff
or jailor, as the men were all Sc
curely looked in.
The Jail floor although of iron, is
as rotten as piece of wood, and
can be torn up at the pleasure of
the prisoners confined; and if the
county expects the jailor to keep
his prisoners safe, the county court
must inspect the Jail and put the
floor in good condition.
A reward of $25 has been offered
for the capture and return to the
Jail of Legg, and smaller rewards
for the capture of the others.
