Break Out of Ely Jail.

A letter was received i'll Eureka
Thursday morning stating that Arm
strong and Thomas broke Jail at Ely
about 8 O'Clock Monday night and es-
capped. The following account OF the
Jail break is taken from the White
Pine News of July Z:
at is evident that they are not new
hands in the business, for during their
short stay in the county Jail they had
made a close. observation of their quar-
ters and chose the night of the Fourth
of July to do their work in-at a time
when all our people were enjoying the
the sights of fireworks. They worked
quickly and We're soon at liberty.
'In some manner the II occupying
the cell to the left of the Jail entrance,
had secreted a stove-lid III his cell,
which he had taken from the stove In
the corridor of the Jail, and with this
implement had battered the bolts hold
ing the lock in place, until three OF the
bolts were bent and broken out, allow
ing the lock to fall down and letting the
cell door open. He then passed another
stove-ld to his companion in the other
cell, as the bolts ON the lock OF this cell
show that they worked on both the III
side and outside of the cell. They then
stood upon the stove. and ore held the
other up while he forced the tin covering
through which the stovepipe was carried
up through the roof. opening up an
aperture big enough for them 70 climb

HORSE THIEVES TRY TO ESCAPE.

last week turned over by the Elko Coun-

ebert of Cherry Greek, White Pine
County, to be tried in that county upon
. charge of robbery, made a desperate
s.tempt to c from the White Pine
Deputy at Wells on Wednesday of last
week. The following account of the af-
fair is taken from the Wells Herald Of

all night. He took them to the Allen
House, placing them in a small room in
the bar-room. and prepared to keep vigil
over them until morning. In this room
there is a bed, in which the prisoners
were placed, shackled together, ankles
and wrists. The officer took up his sta
ton in a chair just outside the room.
s.During the night the men In some
manner freed their ankles from the fet-
tiers that bound them together. This
done they carefully covered their feet,
and about 3 o'clock in the morning
they called to Mr.. Borchert that their
handouts were too tight and asked him
TO loosen them. Mr.. Borchert went
into the room aud was i'll b act OF
slipping the handouts a notch, when
the men bounded from the bed and
overpowered him, throwing him heavily
to the floor. Then began a desperate
battle. The men grasped Mr.. Borchert
by the mouth and n arm. attempting

men had not yet secured, Mr.. Borchert
succeeded in drawing his 45-Colts from
his hip pocket. At this juncture both
men were on top of him. Caring not
which he shot, he fired upward as best
he could. One of the men struck the
yun and the bullet fund a Judgment in
the ceiling of the room. The deputy
made another attempt to fire his gun,
but the men grasped it and it failed to

adams apple" The larnyx has three
distinct parts-at the top lies the hyoid
bone, to which the tongue is attached;
below this the thyroid or shield-shaped
cartilage containing the true and false
vocal cords or bands; below this still
is the cricoid cartilage resting direct
ly on the tracheas or windpipe This
last cartilage is wide at the back, and
rests in it's normal position on the fifth
cervical vertebra.
The muscles, in which the front of
the spine is imbedded, divide at this
point, and allow the cricoid cartilage
or lowest part of the larynx, to lie close
to the spine, giving contact with the
bony frame of the body, making the
entire bony structure sounding
board, even the small bones of the
feet feeling the resonance. This gives
us glimpse only of the fact that H.

production.
With the growing larynx in the
boys throat all the attending muscles
and cartilage must enlarge to CORE
spond; so beautifully poised is each
part of the body that the change takes
place without pain. The boy becomes

Danger of Straining at the Period
of the Break.
From the New York Evening Post.
From time unknown the growing boy
has had to face the ridicule of his fell
lows on one hand and the pity of his
elders on the other, on account of his
changing voice. No one is more I'M
willing than the choir boy to have his
voice go, and many devices are re-
sorted to in the hope of prolonging
its brief life. Some experts find pre-
monitory symptoms of the period in
facial changes about the eyes. The
first disturbance the specialist sees,
says an authority on the throat, who
numbers among his patients many of
the boy singers in New York, is in
cartilaginous change in the organ of
the voice, the larynx. This is soon
followed by a remarkable growth of
that organ.
This decided enlargement demands a
new position in the throat for the
larynx. and by it's prominence exter-
nally earns for itself the name of
