yesterday in Prescott and reports
matters rather quiet in his district
just at this time. a new line of rail-
road is what the section needo and it

Three hoboes in the city Jail made
their escape on Sunday night, and lett
for parts unknown. They were serving
sentences for petty crimes, and their
departure is to be rejoiced over. If
the city would make this class OF
criminals work at various places on
the streets that need fixing there
would be no regret over them breaking
out of the Jail, but under the system
prevailing to feed them and lodge
them in idleness, we trust the remain
der will also get out of the same quar-
tiers and quick at that. The city will
quit winner in the board line, to say
the least.

of time. They are en- route to Cali
fornia, and it is their intention to
then cut across the continent to the
Mississippi, before making tracks for
their native country. This feat will
be accomplished after a tramp of
about twenty years. They are of
Egyptian parentage and their camp
north of town is the filthiest combina-
ton of humanity in or out of doors.
