dawned on the man that if he should
win, Gregg would have no money TO
pay him and he would be loser in the
end, and as Gregg saw right through
told them he would 90 to town and
get some money. which he did TO the
amount of $3.50. He "bucked" the
game with the whole pile at once and
won as usual and the fellows being
anxious TO quit, placed the money in
a box for Mr. Gregg. along with the
$3.50 he had won. raised the box up
over his head and locked il. This Mr.

places OF safekeeping at other points.
Eight prisoners were in the guard
house last night but this morning only
three answered the breakfast call.
These three were in for minor oNenc-
es and did not care for a midnight
stroll Their mode OF escape was
through a hole cut in the floor. thence
dropping into the basement and
escaping by means Of an open door
on the west Of the guard house. The
floor was cut with tack-knives and II
must have taken several hard nights
work TO have made the opening. Dur
ing the day time a pallet was made to
cover the nights work and the dis
coyery was made within twenty min
utes after their escape by r. D. Fos-
ter, sergeant of the guard.

stealing except two. and one Of these
