TIE announced intention OF
the general land office to
withdraw from entry, six
townships on the North Fork
of the C9ur d'Alcne river, for
the purpose of creating the
Cnur d'Alene forest reserve,
bids fair to meet with some
strong protest. 1t is pointed
out that 1853. 900 acres of the
best timber land in the state,
will be tied up and made val
ueless to the state and the
people. While it is of great
advantage to the county to
have every acre of land avail
able for settlement, yet it is
true that our forests are rapid
ly disappearing before the un-
sparing and unrenewing hands
of the lumber corporations,
and the only certain method
of delaying the ravages and
preserving the water sheds, is
the creation of forest reserves.

TIE popular disapproval of

upon the company a light

Four Prisoners Saw Through Iron
Bars and Regain Liberty.
TOOLS ARE FURNISHED BY FRIEND
Saws Struggled Into the Prison In Box
OF Candy==-Otfer Prisoners Refuse
to Leave the Jail.

Four men confined in the Berkelev
county Jail, three of whom were await
ing trial on serious charges, sawed
their way to liberty last Sunday even
ing, despite the watchfulness OF Dep
uty Sheriff Caldwell, and although the
officers have made vigorous efforts to-
recapture the men, they are still at
large, leaving no definite clue as to
their whereabouts The men who
eluded the vigilance of the jsiler and
regained their liberty are:
Harry Hutton, resident Of this
county, awaiting the action of the
grand Jury in January on charge OF
felonious assault upon Sallie Aiken,
and whose attorney has been putting
up a hard fight to save.
G. H. Howard, who halls from near
Lexington, Ky, and who was await
ing trial on charge of passing forged
checks IN this citv.
William Smeltzer, of this county, in
Jail for a brutal assault upon his wife.
and who was so hsve remsined there
until his fine was paid and a peace
bond furnished.
James Meadows, who resided near
the mountain, awaiting the action of
the grand jury on charge Of obtain
ing money under false pretenses.
The delivery was clever piece of
work planned by Howard. the foreer,
and executed with the assistance of
his friends on the outside. On Friday
last package of candy arrived at the
Jail for Howard. It came through the
mail, and Mr.. Caldwell subjected it
to the customary scrutiny before turn
ing it over TO Howard The candy
was in bars about seven inches long,
ana wore a very innocent aspect. Mr..
Caldwell passed the harmless looking
stuff into Towards cell, totally un
suspicious that each piece Of candy
concealed a small. fnely-tempered
steel saw-just six of the keen little
implements.
Sunday morning the prisoners were
permitted to leave their cells to exer-
else in the corridor. This was the
opportunity Howard had been looking
for. Selecting the others who escaped
with him he put them to work on the
heavy iron bars over one OF the rear
windows, behind the cells. Three of
the men worked steadily, the fourth
remaining near the entrance as look
ont.
Deputy Sheriff Caldwell visited the
grating looking into the corridor sew
eral times, but on each occasion one
OF the four men was on hand to pre-
vent the other prisoners informing.
The latter had been intimidated by
the four Iuen.
The bars cut through. the balance
was easy. and in few minutes the
four men were swiftly crossing the
vacant lots in the rear. Their escape
was known ten minutes afterward,
when the jailer entered to lock them
up for the night Instant parsuit was
organized, but all four men succeeded
in eluding their pursuers and are still
at large. 1t is believed thew are hid
