NO TRACE OF RUNAWAYs
Five Young Men Who Escaped From

Although descriptions were sent out in
all directions Immediately after the five
boys escaped from 'the industrial school
at l O'Clock yesterday morning. no trace
or them had been found up to a late
hour last night. The officials of the
school, however. are hopeful of recaptur-
Ing at least three of the number Unless

country the school authorities fear they
will be unable to get them again. The
other three boys belong in Salt Lake, and
unless all precedents go for naught they

The five were considered among the
worst class at the institution. They
showed unusual cunning in making their
getaway. and but for another inmate

cape secret until morning. In some way
the boys secured cold chsel. and with
its aid wrenched a staple from the steel
fastenings that secured the door leading
to the fire escape. After they had accom-
plished this they had easy sailing as far
as getting away from the school was con-
cerned
The boys had carefully planned the
escape. and but for their refusal TO go
along. number of others would have
gotten away at the same time. Quite
number of the boy inmates OF the school
were made acquainted with the pan for
the break. One of these lay awake on
his cot. and. as Soo1 as the quintet had
disappeared down the fire escape. he fol-
lowed suit. Running around the building
to the main door he rang the bell and
called the watchmans attention TO what
had happened.

few moments start before the alarm
was sounded. and that the officers started
in pursuit at once the lads succeeded in
getting away. Evidence has ci1ce been
