Cove county enjoyed another
sensation Tuesday evening The
three prisoners who had held up
the night operator at Grainfield,
tired of their confinement in Jail
pending the next session of court
and dug their way out by means
of a butcher knife, and through
solid rock. They had just been
given supper and were allowed
to stay outside of the cage for a
time. During the brief absence
of the jailer they got out in the
way indicated above and made
for the hills south of Cove AL
though there are many canyons
and other hiding places and the
trail a difficult one to follow, they
were tracked and recaptured.
Two of them at Shields and the
other one at Scott City. Hold-up
men had better give Cove county
a wide berth in the future. The
successful termination of the
chase reminds old timers of the
attack made Is years ago on the
Quinter station. Thirty five dol
lars was taken from the drawer
on that occasion, but the robber
got away. Telephones and other
means of communication were
not as common then as now
