CONVICT MAKES
Ills ESCAPE
Makes lis Way Through Carson
Valley and is Headed For
the South.

A convict by the name OF Geo.
Mitchell made his escape from the
Carson prison last Monday be-
tween the hours of 2sandi6 o'clock
p. m. When the time arrived to
lock Mitchell in his cell for the
night, guard Muller discovered the
prisoners absence and quickly IN
formed Warden Considine of the
escape. A party of guards inn
mediately made a thorough search
OF the prison yard but failed to
find the missing man. However
they found his track and followed
it with much difficulty as far as
the Indian school where it was
lost on account of darkness. With
the cunningness of his kind, the
prisoner endeavored to battle his
pursuers by stepping from one
sage brush to another. Guard
Titus secured the assistance of an
Indian trailer, and early Tuesday
morning too. up the trail and
followed it to within half a mile of
Minden where it was again lost.
Owing to the prisoners past
habits, it was thot he was in hid
ing at the Owl Saloon at Miller
vile. A search warrant was pro-
cured and with the assistance of
Constable Carr, a search was made
of the premises and ended with a
disappointment. Upon being
questioned the land lady stated
that someone had endeayored to
gain admittaneelto her place at 3
o'clock in the morning but was
not admitted by her.
George Hussman learned Of the
escape Tuesday morning, saddled
his horse and struck out for the
Pineunt hills. Mr.. Hussman is
well acquainted with the mountain
trails and had little trouble in
locating fresh tracks leading over
the mountains. He urged his
horse up the mountain at stiff
gait hoping to soon oyertake his
man, but before the summit was
reached his horse became exhaust
ed and the only thing left for him
to do was to give up the chase. He
returned to Gardnerville and in
formed the guards of his discovery.
Guard Titus and The Indian trail

Pinenut mountains. The man is
