ESCAPED JAIL
 BIRDS RETURN
 TO THEIR CELLS Albert Ryckman and Ed ward Wells Found Life, As :Fugitives from Justice,
 Not Agreeable
Sheriff Hawley Has Not Determined What Punish ment Shall Be of Men Who Betrayed His Conf dence.

Albert Ryckman and Edward Wells, the two young men who broke jail, Thursday night, by prying off the lid of the coal chute, having given them selves up in Danbury last night, arriv- ed in this city this morning in com pany with Deputy Sheriff Crofutt of Danbury, much wiser but sadder pair They were immediat tely taken to the County jail where they will be put to much harder work than had been their lot before the break away. Sheriff HaWley was asked what would be the punishment of the young men. He was non-committal, but stated that he did not like the way in which the young men violated his confidence in them. He added that he was kind to them, because their friends had inter ceded for them, and because both had promised to remain faithful
 Sheriff eHawley was not a bit sur prised, yesterday afternoon, when he was called up on the long distance end of the wire. Ryckman informed the sheriff that he was near the New York state line, between Danbury and Brewsters, and wanted to give himself up. He asked how he could do it. The sheriff advised the two evaders to go back to Danbury and present them selves at the jail there. When they ar- was on duty and had a meal prepared for them, as the men had told Sheriff Hawley they were hungry and wanted dry clothing.
 Both men admitted to Jailer Scott that they were glad to get back to the confines of jail, where they could have a warm bed and good clothing Freedom on the outside to them was not as it had been represented to be, especially when they would have to hide from the authorities who they knew were looking for them. They knew that Sheriff Hawley had spread the news broadcast that the two had escaped. The sheriff knew that both of them would, either be recaptured or give themselves up, as a fugitive from justice IS not the best life possible.
 Ryckman was a model young man at the jail, and at his own request and at the request of his friends, Sheriff Hawley placed him in the boiler room in the evening, over which there was no guard. All he and Welles, who equally trusted had to do was to keep the steam up during the evenings. They were faithful and were in the graces of the jail authorities Ryck- man had served about two months of a ten months sentence for an indecent assault upon Mrs. Catherine Melady, of Stratford, on election night His wife and little child visited him at the jail every Wednesday. Welles, comes of good Danbury family. He was up for passing a forged check on Edward Lyons of Long Hill. His six months would have been completed the first of March

the gravest danger of future castas- trophes in Paris as a result of the un- dermining of the streets and buildings, was shown today by the colalpse of the sidewalks of the Rue De Lazare. The sidewalks were precipitated into the subway. These streets have been added to the large section of the city that has been roped off and barred to the public.
 Paris biggest rebuilding job will be in her many miles of subway that have been almost completely wrecked. Every mile of Paris underground traf- f1c system will have to be carefully ex- amined by engineers before trains will be permitted to run.
 Hundreds of those who had been driven from their homes returned to- day in boats and will live for the next few days in the upper floors. Food supplies are delivered at hundreds of houses in boats, nearly all of the big stores having substituted "boat lines" for their delivery wagons. In several quarters the water is shallow enough to permit of wagon traffic The gov ernment will probably assume the task of disinfecting Paris as it fears the work will not be done properly if left to individuals.
 In several parts of the city the dan ger from disease is already imminent. The air is foul from the decomposed matter that infestS these quarters and houses are so damp and nouldy as to make their occupancy menace to health Such conditions are going to become general unless the government proceeds in much more vigorous fash ion than it has in the last two days. This it has promised to do as soon as the danger of drowning is removed. Pendingthe re-opening of the factories that were forced to shut down, which is responsible for most of the present unemployment, the government. plans to put all who apply for employment at work in the cleaning up of the city. Within a few days there will be enough work for all and the problem of unemployment is therefore conSid- cred only temporary.
 A cave-in occurred today in the Rue Rivolie, near the Place De La Con- corde, subway. The engineers have barred the public from this section.
 A partial examination of Paris sew age system today brought the state ment from the engineers that the sys- tenn has not yet been badly injured.

END OF SEASONS STOCK
FEEDING Is NEAR

The annual stock feeding aso in
the Lovelock valley will close this
year earlier than usual, owing to the
fact that hay and pasturage is not as
plentiful this year as in other years.
The Western Meat company expect
to close up their feeding operations at
Lovelock about the 18th of February
when the last of the beef cattle that
have been feeding here for the past
several month, will be shipped to the
coast. Thos. Fallon, superintendent for
the Western Meat company, states that
the beef shipped in here and fed this
winter will total 1900 head. This
shows the Importance of the stock feed
ing industry at Loveloek. Besides the
Western Meat company, there are
many other coast meat companits that
operate at Lovelock, although the
Western Meat company is by far the
largest.-Tribune.
