JAIL ESCAPE.
Eight Prisoners Make Their Way to Lib> erty.-Two Re>cap,ured and in
 Their Old Cells.

Monday night eight prisoners made their escape from the county jail. Four of them were confined in the cage and got out by cutting out the bolts in the repairs made in the bars of the cells which were cut off by prisoners in De- cember, 1898. The door between the cell room and the receiving room was unlocked and the prisoners cut hole in the ceiling in the southeast corner of the room. gaining entrance to the attic, where they cut hole in the steel roof large enough to easily get out. They reached the ground from the roof by tying blankets together, the jail and made run for the railroad where they took freight trains east or west as they desired.
 The escape took place about half past eleven at night and was not dis covered until seven Tuesday morning, thu. giving the runaways several hours the start of the officers. The prisoners were assisted from the outside by their friends, and number of their former associates were missing from their usual lounging places the next morning.
 The prisoners who escaped were held on charges of various crimes to appear before the next grand jury. They were ''Ted" Coleman, c. H. Sticles, CarlOn CondOn, ''NOsey" Lynch, Wm. Wilson. G. Futile. Mike Lynch and Mexican.
 Sheriff Johnson wired all along the line descriptions of the escaped and started west on hunt for them while Deputy Hogan went east.

' ~ =
ing by Party Of Friends.
Last evening at his home in Echo
Point, number of the friends of Mr..
Morgan L. OFT assembled to do him
honor on the occasion of the seventy
second anniversary of his birth. Time
has dealt lightly with Mr.. OFT, and only
his most intimate friends have realized
that he has reached and passed the al
lotted three score and ten. His contin-
uance in the field OF business activity
has been frequently commented upon
as most unusual, but with his rare Wig
or Of bodyand mind he bids fair to con-
tlnuc many more years in the business
harness.
The gathering Of his friends at his
home last evening was entirely infor-
NAL and therefore was all the more en-
joyable Mr.. Otis daughter, Miss
Florence, did the honors Of the occa-
sion and her sprightly wit added much
to the enjoyment of an altogether de-
llghtful evening. The Intelligencer
joins Mr.. Otis guests In wishing him
many returns Of his birthday. and
hopes that his useful life may long be
spared to the community in which he is
honored and respected.

CHAPTER vi.

The quartermaster's depot at Gate
City was little more than a big corral,
with double row of low wooden sheds
for the storing of clothing, camp and
garrison equipage. There was black
smith and wagon repair shop, and a
brick Office building. Some cottage
quarters for the officer in charge and
his clerks, corral master, etc., stood
close at hand, while most of the en-
ployes lived in town outside the gates
A single-track spur connected the de:
pot with the main line of the Union
Pacific, only 500 yards away, and the
command at Fort Emory, on the bluff
above the rapid stream, furnished,
much to its disgust, the necessary
guard A much bigger plant" was in
contemplation near larger post and
town on the east side of the great d.
vide, and neither Fort Emory nor it's
charge-the quartermaster's depot
was considered worth keeping in re-
pair, except such as could be accom-
plished ''by the labor of troops" which
was why, when he wasn't fighting In
dians, the frontier soldier of that day
was mainly occupied in doing the odd
jobs of day laborer, without the rec
omPense of one, or his privilege Of quit
ting if he didn't like the job. That he
| should know little of drill and less of
parade was, therefore, not to be won
dered at.
But what he didn't know about guard
duty was hardly worth knowing. He
had prisoners and property of every
| conceivable kind - Indians, horse
thieves, thugs and deserters, maya
zines and medicines, mules and NUM-
tions of war. Everything had to be
guarded. The fort lay mile to the
west of and 200 feet higher than the
railway hotel in the heart of the town.
1t looked down upon the self-styled
city, and most CT it's womenkind, did
the same on the citizens, who were, it
must be owned, a rather mixedlot. The
sudden discovery Of gold in the neigh
boring foothills, the fact that it prom
ised to be the site OF the division car
shops and roundhouse, that the trails
to the Upper Platte, the Sweetwater,
the park country to the south and the
rich game regions of the Medicine Bow
all centered there, and that stages left
no less than twice a week for some of
those points, and the whole land was
alive with explorers for hundred
miles around-all had tended to give
Gate City a remarkable boom. Chey-
enne aud Laramie, thriving frontier
towns, with coroners' offices in full
blast from one weeks end to the other.
and a double force on duty Sundays
confessed to and exhibited pardbna able
i jealousy. Yet there was wisdom in the
warning of an old friend and fellow
frontiersman, who said to Folsom:
You are throwing yourself and your
money away, John. There's nothing
