PRISONER ESCAPES
FROM TIE Preside
Guards and Loiterers Join il
Chase Which Results in
Dismal Failure

prisoner escaped from the Pre-
sidio last night. Bursting through the
bars of his guardhouse he fed in a
fashion that defied the pursuing guards.
Two soldiers sprinted after him as he
fed across the parade ground, but
they could not even get close enough
TO reason with him. And he is still
at large
On page 80 of the guard book may
be found a record of the escape.
Shortly after midnight yesterday
morning there was a commotion in the
rear of the Preside general hospital,
and shouts and cries that brought the
corporal of the guard on the run. He
heard confused sounds of pursuit, and
then the words. Catch him." struck
his ear
Don't let him get away" shouted
the corporal. He leaped off into the
darkness, where Guards Manggang and
Private Pearson were rapidly disap-
pearing in the gloom.
Hang to him" the corporal shouted
again, and steamed up alongside his
comrades.
Where's the prisoner" he gasped.
'Gone.' wheezed Private Pearson
Hes 40 miles away by this time"

the incensed corporal

The bunny broke out of the ge in

hospital awaiting the attention of the
dissecting room. And on page 80 of the
guard book appears the unnecessary
comment by Betourney sergeant of II

one Of the most encoura ging indica-

the Portola festival is the constantly
increasing number of small subscrip-
lions from individuals and small firms
who wish TO show their good will for

their interest is sincere. No matter
