THE JAIL BIRDS ARE RETURN ED TO THEIR
 CAGES.
Captured on Ash Flat Friday After nOOn.-Deputy Sheriff McEuOn, Al- len, and Wills Overtgke the Tired and FOOtSOre Prisoners.

David HoIladay, George Wright "Climax" Jim, and Kline, the four pris oners who escaped jail on Tuesday night of last week. were captured on Friday while on Ash Flat, near the Nantack ountains, about thirty miles north of Thomas, and Saturday after noon they we're again behind the bars tired and weary crowd.
 After leaving the jail the prisoner went straight through the fields lying west of Solomonville until they struck the railroad track just above the Pom roy crossing and and following the track to point just above Stafford, when they left it and went between Stafford and the river, crossing just below town. Crossing the river they started across the country on foot. their destination being the Black River country. By We'd nesday night they had reached the old Slaughter ranch, some thirty miles from solomonville, completely exhausted. They were without food, except few biscuits carried from the jail. They had the SIX shooter taken from guard Adams, but it proved worthless as they failed to hit beefwlth Ii at close range In five shots. They made camp near the Slaughter ranch Wednesday night, and heard the posse. which captured them next day, go into the ranch that night, but they remained in camp till morining when they again started, heading for the Nantack mountains. Some of them were so tootsore that their shoes were pulled of. From morning until one o'clock Thursday they had only made about seven miles and when the posse came upon thom, they were all lying down and made no resistance.
 As stated last week the escape was not discovered until seven o'clock Wed. nesday morning, ten heurs after it oc- cured. Sheriff Ben Clark. John Epeley Bud McClintock and Vicente Suarez left Solomonville by eight o'clock and they soon strock the trail which went through the fields to the railroad just above the Pomroy ranch. The trail went down to the railroad, and the pos- SC which had been joined by Deputy sheriff Ed Allen and Joe Olney, of Saf- ford, was divided, Allen and Olney go- ing across the river at Stafford and going down on the other side, rejoined Clark and his party at Pima. Here word W as received from Deputy Sheriff Sellman tn at he thought he had good clew at Black Rock. Sheriff Clark took deputies Ed Allen and Felix McEuen and went that night to Black Rock, but they found nothing there promising desired

Still Striving for Freedom.

"Climiax" Jim, confined in the county jail is unwilling to await the slow pro- cess of the courts for freedom. Last week he escaped with three compan- ions and was caught and brought back Saturday. Monday the Sheriff adorned "Climax with beautiful pair of leg bracelets, rivited on by the blacksmith. Wednesday "Climax" was let out with his companions to do some was hing in the jail yard. It was discovered that his shackles were defective and black. smith was sent for to make them fast again. Before the blacksmith arrived "Climax" shook the shackles of and went over the adobe wall and hid un- der the boxing over the court house well.

lresultS and returned to Thomas. 1t was here decided that Deputies McEuen. Allen and John Wills should cut across the country north for the Eagle Greek and Black River country, and Sheriff Clark returned home ou the train Thursday evening.
 On Thursday E. Golden, of Safford was coming from the Eagle Creek coun- try and saw four men on foot near Dead Mans tanks. When they saw Golden the men all lay down which convinced Golden that something was wrong and he hurried to Stafford and told what he had seen. Joe Olnev hurried to Solomonville and Sheriff Clark sent Bud McClintock. Bud Smith and Olney that night to Dead Man s Tanks to take up the trail of the four.men.
 The next morning, Friday Sheriff Clark went with George Johnson through by the Kimball ranch on Eagle Greek, intending to go to the Double Circle ranch and fit up an outfit and go to the "Y" ranch whither 1t was sur- missed that, "Climax" Jim was leading the fugi tives.
 McEuen, Allen and Wills went to the old Slaughter ranch Thursday arriving there in the night. Next morning they soon struck the trail which was easily followed, and they overlook the men wanted at o'clock Friday. Being un- armed, the men could not have made any resistance had they desired to do so. They were completely played out and could not run. They were taken to the Slaughter ranch Friday night where horses were procured and the whole posse with prisoners arrived in Solomon vile late Saturday evening. Bud Mo clintock, Bud Smith and Joe Olnev were on the trail and came up with McEuen, Allen and wills soon after the arrest was made.
 Sheriff Clark when within fifteen miles of the Double Circle ranch met with serious accident, hls horse fall IIiS anu AOIllhS OOWA buC 6luC OA LAO mountain with him. His right knee cap was fractured and his left foot bad ly mashed. So bad was his injury that he suffered much on the trip home, where he arrived Saturday night when he first learned that his pr;sonere had all been returned to their old quarters in the jail.
 On Monday the four prisoners wero shackled, the shackIes being rivited on, and another guard was put on duty at the jail.
 Shelf Clark offered Five Hundred Dollars reward for the capture of the prisoners and this will be paid to Allen McEuen and wills. Besides this MT. Clark will be out about S200 in expen- ses. While the county offered no re- ward for these prisoners, still it is the general sentiment that the Board of Supervisors should at lest psy half the total cost ofreturuing these men in jail.
 Sheriff Clark was laid up at home sey- eral days with his bruised limbs, but is now able to hobble around with the aid of a cane.
