REPORT CAUSES ALARM.
Deputy Sheriff Cave was plunged in
to- state bordering on nervous pros
tration last night by the report that
came TO him, to the effect that nearly
ali the prisoners In the county Jail were
at work with saws and there would In
all probability be an elaborate Jail de-
livery ere morning, Mr.. Cave at once
put on some extra guards and kept
them on all night This morning every
prisoner and his cell were carefully ex-
amlned but there was no indication Of
a saw II Is believed that the one who
started the report must have mistaken
the cllnking Of Waddells oregon boot,
for The working Of saws.
