The Interstate fair opened aus
piciously this afternoon. The
weather was perfect and very
gratifying crowd was in attendance.
After much hustle and hustle near
ly all the exhibits were arranged.
The exhibit of fruits, vegetables,
minerals and other products from
this section is the finest ever pre-
scented and there are more new and
novel features than ever before.
The big parade to be held at the
mardi gras tonight will be the
largest ever held at a fair in this
city and arrangements are being
made for about 1000 persons to en-
ter and compete for the prizes.
The large parade will start from
the west gate of the fair grounds

ed out of his room grabbed his
shotgun and inserted two choice
cartridges of No. 6.
Around to the west end of the
Jail he went, while Jailer Bigelow,
just recovered from an accident,
was in readiness inside the building
of anything happened there. Pugh
had just rounded the corner of the
courthouse proper and was stand
ing at the corner of the woodpile
when his attention was called to
some moving object in the long
window. Without waiting an in
stan he let fly his shot. The some
thing in the window dropped.
Investigation revealed the fact
that George Bradley, incarcerated
and waiting trial on a charge Of
holdup of the Norden saloon, had
sawed through three of the bars
in the rear of his cell in the bull
pen" Once outside the cell he was
at liberty in the general room Of
the wing of the Jail. He apparently
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1905-10-09

secured a cell hammock, which he
swung from the bars at the end
of the cage to pipe near the out
side window. Standing on this he
was engaged in saving through the
grating between him and liberty,
having got part way through one
bar, when he was interrupted by
the charge of shot. He dropped
from his hammock-s caffolding and
crawled back to his cell.
Bradley is man of resources
and has record for desperateness.
He has been in ajil for number
of months and had doubtless been
exercising his ingenuity. On the
floor was found the steel shank of
a shoe with a number of notches
cut into 1.-THE instrument, or one
of them, with which he had done
the saving.
1t may be that Bradley has been
working many a night to get
through the "bull-pen" bars. They
are fiat, with their greatest length
