ST. Cloud, Mimi, April 15.-The most

them was wounded by the bleeding

The delivery occurred at 10 o'clock,
when the turnkey, Frank Griven, went
into the jail corridor upon hearing sus-
plcious noises from within. He had
no sooner opened the iron door than

to the Jail. Ignatz Greven, father of
the turnkey, captured close by the Jail
John Stephens, an Indian sent up from

sault, and he was also returned. The
other four, w Of them said to be des-
perate criminals, escaped and have
thus far eluded capture. The sheriff
and police, however, are hard at work,
and it is probable that two of them
will be taken early this morning. The
SIX men were all the occupants of the
main cell house in the jail and were
awaiting the sitting of the grand jury
early in May. They had evidently had
outside assistance; as they had secured
tools and sawed off two bars Of the

from which vantage point they as
saulted the turnkey.
