JAIL BREAK AT LEADvILLE.
Pug Ryan and -Four Other Prisoners at
Large.

Denver, June IA News special
from Leadville says:
As the result of daring Jail break
fivc prisoners of the county jail are at
large. The prisoners obtained fully
half an hours start before their alb
sence was noticed. The men who es-
capped are as follows: Lewis j. Scott.
alias Pug Ryan, desperate and muir
derer; Il. II. Gray. Herman Geist. Max
field Bowen, james Sullivan, the last
four being charged with robbery. The
men made their escape between 3 and
$50 o'clock this afternoon.
While the prisoners were being
served with their dinner one of the
TRUSTEES noticed that some of the men
were missing, and he at once gave the
alarm. An investigation showed that
the five prisoners had sawed off the
paddock which held down trap door
leading to the sewer. This door is To-
Gated outside the jail cage and in the
corridor. After letting themselves into
the sewer. which was partially filled
with water. they made their way to
the foundation wall of the Jail. where
there was n small hole, through which
they were able to obtain their freedom.
The entire force of deputies and po-
lice, as soon as the alarm was given
started in every direction, but the men
had good start. and at late hour to-
night none of them had been cap
tured. The escape of Pug Ryan is con
sidered most serious occurrence, for
he is dangerous and desperate char
acter, and had succeeded in eluding
capture for four years.
Ryan was at the head of gang of
robbers who held up the Denver saloon
at Breckenridge four years ago. and In
the battle with deputies next day two
of the gang We're killed and two officers
received fatal wounds. Ryan escaped
TO the Pacific coast. and was captured
there last April. lie was brought back
