this morning in a fire which destroyed
the Torrance county jail, in which
the two men were held as prisoners.

turned from the Philippines, where he
served term in the regular army
was the son of r. j, Nesbltt, justice
of the peace for this precinct and a
prominent citizen,

were placed in the jail to be held until
