that two men had been seen running
at a high speed a few miles north
of town about couple Of hours after
the escape was made, but so far as
is not known positively that they

that one of the guards was called
away for a few minutes and while
he was gone the men took advantage
of the fact that there was only one
man watching item, and made their
getaway.
Every nook and corner Of the CAPT
toll building was searched, but with
out success. There are number OF
the guards Of the pen out about the
country at present and unless the
men succeed in securing other clothes
than their prison stripes it will mean
that there is still good chance that
they will be captured soon.
About 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon
tracks were found near the Ward
ranch leading down to the river bot
tom, at which place the two had
parted company, one going in one
direction and one in another. Word
was hastily sent to the Denitentiary
for the bloodhounds, which were i'm
mediately sent out to take up the
scent. Nothing has been heard from
those having the dogs in charge.

larceny and sentenced to two years

held that owing to the complication
that had arisen, such as some of the
petitioners having tapped q 4private
pipe. and were getting city Nater, he
did not believe the city had a clear
case against the water company and
before action to annu1 the franchise
be taken he advised the commission
to await a clear case. A long dis.
cussion of the matter ensued and q
resolution was introduced n Com
missioner Jackson providing that in
the future no one should be allowed
to construct a private >Gater pipe
through the streets of the city In
order to connect with water mains.
It came to light that in compliance
with a petition. of ceveral ciicens OF
upper Eighth street, the water COM
pany had extended the main one
block on that street, but the petition
had requested that the extension be
for two blocks, and now it Is ex'
pected that the parties in the second
block will construct private dine to
the main. Commissioner Lucas stat
ed that in all probability the main
would be extended upon the return OF
Col. Little. Commissioned Jackson
maintained that If this was the case
the passage of the resolution would
do no damage and that If PASSED 1t
would place. the city in a position
where it could demand the extensfos,
of the main In the second block nexs
summer if the company did not see
fit to do the work this year. ALI the
commissioners vote aye on the pro
position. , .s.t ..,;,,. y. -.
Commissioner Marquett introduced
resolution requesting the commits
sioner of water works to ascertain
from the water company the cost of
furnishing water, per 1000 gallons
to private consumers for household,
bath and lawn purposes.
There being no further business the
commission adjourned to Monday

The Diamond Remains a Mystery

The Diamond Remains a Mystery.
As a substance the diamond Is one
of the mysteries Of nature, one Of the
despairs of science. Nobody knows
whence it came or how, whether it is
a spark from comets tail or crys-
tallized drop squeezed in some horri-
bic intensity Of fiery CONFUSION from
the white hot insurgent heart Of the
earth. Nobody knows much about 1t
! at all, except that it doesn't belong
to this world. Some known black dia-
monds literally were from the skies.
They came imbedded in meteorites
cast upon Arizona and Chile by an
unidentified star. One does not pros
pect for chips Of stars. AS we'll search
for the end Of the rainbow. Neither
is it practical to hammer all sorts Of
eruptive rock and conglomerate where
ever come upon. Earthquake or vol
canic upheaval districts are not neces-
sarily the most promising, for often

canic origin occur thousands Of miles
from the probable place Of extrusion.
