How They Escapad.

The Brainerd Tribune of Saturday
gives the following description Of
the way Decker and Gardner escaped
from the Crow Wing county jail last
Friday: A
"Their escape from, the building
was effected by forcing the bars Of
the window, which had been sawed
about half way through in an at
tempted Jail delivery about a year
ago. At that time instead ofhaving
new bars put in. the bars that had
been sawed were puttied and all the
bars painted, so that the breaks
would not be detected by the
prisoners. Several days ago suspic-
ious sounds were heard in the jail,
and an investigation disclosed that
the prisoners had been saving the
bars again. A careful search was
made for the tools with which the
work had been done, but they could
not be found. The prisoners had
been kept in their cells after the dis
covery, until repairs could be made,
but at noon yesterday they were
brought out for their dinner, and
took advantage of the opportunity
offered to force two bars in the win
dow, which left an opening large
enough for them to squeeze
through"
