A. L., on the supposition that he was
wanted here for murder, was brought
to the city this morning. 1t has de-

Deputy Sheriff Andrew Peden's
keen sight yesterday evening prevented
what would probably have been jail
delivery. In locking up the prisoners
for the night, Mr.. Peden discovered
that the lock had been tampered with.
The back part Of the spring catch on
the lock had been broken and 1t would
have been an easy matter to get out.
Once out of the cell the prisoners
would have had no trouble in getting
out OF the old 'ramshackly Jail. How
ever, on the discovery of the condition
of the locks, Mr.. Peden promptly
chained the prisoners in their cells.
The condition Of the Jail is poor In the
extreme and the wonder is that so few
prisoners manage to escape.
