SOME WATER SPORTS.
S7cimming Tug-of-War - Sliding
Dozen the Chutes.

The return of hot weather attracts attention
TO aquatic sports. One of the newest is tug-of-
war on the water. This is both amusing and
spectacular and one must needs be an expert
swimmer not to go under. The contestants
range themselves into sides, five, six or seven
to Il side with a captain, who generally acts as
the anchor. While the anchor winds the rope
over Cne shoulder and around his waist, the
Others grasp il with one both hands. The
knot in the middle is placed parallel with some
mark on the pier some buoy afoat and there
is n Ieeway of several feet either side of the
stake mark. At the snap of the pistol both
sides begin to pull with might and main, using
one hand, then the other. oftentimes both. and
of course their legs are in full play under water
all the time In desperate pulls the contestants
have been seen to grasp the rope with their
teeth so as to leave both hands and arms for
swimming and pulling.
Some of these tugs-of-war in the water have
been finished within few seconds after the
POP. of the pistol; others have lasted as long as
twenty minutes and have been declaEed draws
only because of the utter exhaustion OF the
teams and the total inability Of either side to

Last Sunday evening about O'Clock
when Deputy Sheriff Oliver went &c
lock his two prisoners, Roy Kendall
and Fred Wal.ingford alias Paul De.
boye, in their cells for the night he
was astonished to find the door lead,
ing to the hallway of the jail open
and the prisoners gone, and for a time
wal at a loss to understand how they
escaped. After giving the men theil
supper, Mr.. Oliver closed the door and
placed the bow, or shackle, of the pad
lock in the iron staple that held the
bar across the door in place, but he
did not lock it. as he thought them
secure. On finding the men gone he
looked around to. see how they had
managed to lift the lock from the
staple. Finding a piece ofwire, taken
from n chair, with a hook on one end
he Don solved the problem. Over the
door is a transom about 10 inches
high, with iron bars about six inches
apart. They dropped the wire down
to the lock, and from the marks on
the woodwork secured tie lock on
the third cast, raising it from the
staple, and all they had to do then
was to push the door open.
On leaving the Jail the men took a
revolver, a rifle and a number of cart
ridges with them, and from a corral
at the lower end of town took two In
dian ponies. An Indian was put on
their trail and he found they we're
