REFUSAL TO PROVIDE CELLS
On Part Of Commissioners Makes

George Boyle and Louis McKin-

the county jail made their es-
cape early this morning by pick
ing loose brick from the wall,
making an opening sufficiently
large that they could slip out.
Sheriff Meyer Deputy Harris
and Mounted Police Collier are
on the trail and a speedy capture
is anticipated.
Boyle was arrested the first
Of the week, on a charge Of
house breaking west of Estancla.
Mckinley, who had been out on
bail having been in shooting
scrape, was turned over to the
sheriff, his bondsmen not caring
to stand surety for him longer.
While no charge had been as yet
made against him, it was UNDER
stood that he was connected with
Boyle in his deal.
Sheriff Meyer had urged upon
the county commissioners the
necessity of securing steel cages
for the Jail, but this body refused
to do so, although there is almost
$4,000 in the court house and
jail fundzwhich could have been
used for the purpose. The walls
OF the building being only eight
inches thick of brick laid in NOR
tar, the dislodging Of a brick
was comparatively easy task,
and after having one brick loose,
the rest was easy. :

with the cells, the break could

sOne cf the saddest deaths that
could have occurred was that of
the three -year-old son Thurman,
Of Mr.. and Mrs. L. B. Cole about
ten miles rc thwest of Estancia,
on Monday of this week. The
father and boys were burning
the weeds from a piece of ground
preparatory to breaking, the lit
tie fellow playing around and
watching. In attempting to set
fire to the weeds, as he saw his
oder brothers doing, his dress
caught fire and before it could be
extinguished, the little fellow
was burned so severely that he
died at l o'clock.
The family had, within the past
two months, arrived from Camp
County, Texas, and had taken up
their residence near that of an
uncle, Fla. Chamblee, with bright
prospects, little dreaming that
their new home was SO soon to be
invaded by death.
