The Elko officers have learned since
the killing of the one robber by In
dian Joe that this man had approach
ed patron of saloon in Cobre and
requested him to mail letter, sealed
and stamped, to Miss Polk in some
little town in Missouri. The letter
was mailed.
Mr.. Collins is firmly of the belief
that the second robber is dead in the
hills near Montello. After his part
ner was killed he ran until he was
exhausted and then succeeded in hid
ing from the white men and Indians
under cover of darkness. A grub
sack and empty canteen were found.
The canteen was improvised out of
an empty syrup can.
While he dropped his canteen and
grub sack to tighten the load. he
still clung to the gold and silver and
bills which We're his share of the mur-
derous holdup. 1t is believed he
the money to his hiding place. 1t is

ESCAPE FROM
THE JAIL
-Four in Tombstone Find Doors
Open and Take Advantage
Of Situation-Three Are
Back in Jail Already.
Especial to Review

AopCSldi " ItNitM.b
TOMBSTONE, Nov 20.--This morn.
ing jail break occurred at the county
Jail and four prisoners made their es-
cape. An investigation showed that
those who got out were Williams, in
dicted on a charge of highway rob
: beg Committed iiti IA Lowell a6out a
year ago by holding up and robbing
one Harry Palmer: David YiIlisenor.
Indicted on a charge of murder, al
legged to have been committed in
Douglas a few months since; Harry
Jones, indicted on a charge of grand
larceny, from Benson, and Perry
Jones, indicted on a charge OF grand
larceny from Douglas
Within an hour after they had made
their escape two of the prisoners had
been recaptured, William Williams
and the Mexican, David Villisenor
The former was captured by George
BrOdge about a mile and a half from
town, making his way up a small raw
inc toward Charlestown. He made
no resistance and was brought back
to town and landed in Jail again. The
Mexican was caught by Deputy James
Davis in the gulch back of the court
house and about half mile from the
Jail
The prisoners made their escape BY
crawling through a small wicket in
the door leading from the inside OF
the Jail to the outside corridor. This
was accidentally left open by Taller
Butler. Guard Landers was on tbe
inside of the Jail with the prisoners.
He had just made his rounds about
the Jail and went into the toilet ana
was in there a few minutes. The
prisoners nd been let out of the cells
as is customary just previous to hav
ing their breakfast, seeing that the
wicket was open and knowing that
Jailer Butler went to his breakfast
about this time. they made a rush
Tor the wicket and four of them had
crawled through when Guard Landers
came out. He got in front of the door
and kept any more from getting
through. Butler had gone to break
last and as the prisoners came OUT
through the wicket they had only to
run through the corridor through the
Jailer's Office into the court yard and
climb over the brick wall and make
their escape down the railroad track
The door leading from the Office to the
Jail yard had been opened but a few
minutes before by Jailar Butler.
Sheriff White was in Bisbee at the
time OF the break and was notified by
telephone. He Immediately took the
train as far as Hereford where he
secured a horse and rode across tn
country to head off the Tugitivas
should they come in that direction.

was received at the sheriffs Office
from the Critchett ranch, about
mile below town that = man answer.

AN ALL DAY CIGAR.
The Kind Smoked by Tribe Of South
American Indians.

The Kind Smoked by a Tribe of South
American Indians.
Cigars n foot and a half long, which
are made for one days smoking. are
shown In the American Museum Of
Natural History. With them is hold
er which looks like a tuning fork and
is large enough to be used for pitch
ing hay.
Far up the Rio Nigra, a tributary of
the Amazon. two explorers made a col
lection of articles for the museum.
The Indians there made cigars eight
cen inches long and as big around as
q child's arm. One Of these cigars Is
too much for any ease loving man to
clasp. SO the Indians put the fragrant
roll between the tines of fork two
and half feet long, stick the sharp
end of the handle into the ground at
a convenient distance from their ham,
mocks and take puff from time to
time as they sway lazily backward
and forward.
There are many other picturesque
articles in the collection, which was
made during a three months journey
from the coast. The material is of the
highest value. ana nothing ike it has
been seen except few articles in a
German museum.-New York Herald.
