Nevada, July 25.-Sheriff Ricketts,
who has charge of the jail. made q
very timely discovery and foiled jail
delivery yesterday. The evening pre-
vious his son, Robert Ricketts,, upon
coming home from town for the night,
thought he saw suspicious actions near
one Of the windows Of the corridor.
He entered and made an examination.
Finding nothing he went to bed and in
the morning spoke of the matter to his
father
To satisfy their curiousity they both
entered the corridor and soon discov-
cred that the prisoners, who had been
having the liberty Of the outer corri-
dor during the day. had dug out three
tiers Of brick In one Of the ventilators
and deposited the brick in the other
which they .hs ,cleverly
covered up. The only 30 between
themselves and liberty was to shove
out the outer. tier which would have
doubtless been done last evening just
before the hour Of locking them in
their cells.
A search of the cells disclosed a
large file, butcher knife which had
been hacked into saw and couple
OF razors. 1t Is supposed that the tools
had been carrosd into the jail by the
relatives Of one Of the prisoners, upon
their visits.
From now on the prisoners will re-
main locked In their cells and they
will not be allowed to have visitors un-
less In the presence of the jailor.
Those who were confined are Harry
Stewart, who was released from the
penitentiary at Jefferson City, Mo-,
but few weeks ago and was prompt
~ arrested upon his appearance in this
city and held to answer to an indict-
ment for forgery some years ago;
Hugh Brock and Harvey Brown, the
two men who were captured while
robbing a Milwaukee merchandise car
at Huxley Saturday morning. and l..
C. stebbins, the Ames man held for
trial upon . charge of sodomy.
