 ESCAPE FROM JAIL
Quietly Effect Escape Bv
 Sprlnging Jail Door.
POSSES ARE IN RSUl1

Early this morning, pr sum.bl, about four o'clock, sIsil b:esk co cured ct the county jail and fiy. i.ii birds succeeded in effecting their liberty. Tue msnner of escape and method of breaking Jail showed that the escape was deliberately planned and ct the time decided upon was done so quickly and quietly one is amazed at the ingsn, i,y dis played by the lescspes. NoIwith- standing the fact that sbs big heavy doors with boits and locks yer, desigDed to keep prisoners within the confines of the jail, the manner of escape of the five prisoners last night shows that even these doors cannot Siths,snd the de.ermins ed efforts Of five men 10 bar their escape.
 The five prisoners who made their escape are Gueilermo Romero. Johu Conchip, John Love, Burt Wsne and
 " D Heste,. Romero is the prisone convicted of the murder of Emi
 Lendohl at Bisbee, and sentenced to hang on the 18th instsnt.i but CT ecution stayed pending ,sppesl :to the supreme court; Conchio is the man
 arrested on the charge of taking the s7OO stolen from Warnekros' store. Love was in the tolls on some sewing machine dispute. while Wsne and Hester were recently brought in from Douglas pending investigation on charge of horse stealing.
 THE MANNER or ESCAPE.
 The prisoners who escaped were COD fined in the cells usually used for the term men and all were locked up ss usual every night. A lever on the outside of t6e cells closes the doors automatically and from the plsu, well laid il devolved upon Love, who had acted ss trusty, to release the lever |, the prisoners abiding their time until about o'clock 8. m. when they emerged and quietly went to work. The five men pulled steadily on the bottom end of the big iron door grad uslly spriusing same, the mean while wedging the space with the blankets )f the prisoner bedding. The blankets were
 tightly rolled snd forced into the -psce a fast as the door wse being sprung until room enough was had to admit O the passage Of prisoner ! underneath. Having crswled ou, rom under the iron bars of one door the same process had to be repeated on she similar iron door leading into the 1 cor.,dor. The work of each requ red but 10 or 15 minutee, the outer iron door yielding even more quickly l according 60 what she other prisoners state, and She workers pushed on to
 ,he jail yard where they scaled the wall ! and made their escape.
 Jack MaIniss was on guard and
 m .de his rounds ss ususl and few
 hours before reports having found no
 indications Of anything unusual or
 suspicious. Another deputy vss
 asleep near the anti room and tbe
 escape was done 50 quiesly that be al.o was not aware what occurred
 When discovered the prisoners had
 several hours start but several possss
 were immediately put on the hunt
 and it is hoped they may overtakr the
 fugi,ives before night.
 One prisoner named Edwarts on
 charge Of murder refused to escape
 though he had ,hs same opportunity
 as his comrsdee. To c reporter he
 sid "I do not want to be chssed ell
 over the country and am willing to
 val, until the doors are opened for me
 by the court"

 ing and the country in every dire ctiop
 will be secured. Information is ex.'
