Tuscaloosa. February S.-(special)- Ten prisoners escaped last night from the county jail while Sheriff w. c. Pal mer was out of town. Additional depu- ties were pressed into service as soon as the alarm was given and every avenue of escape was closely guarded. Only one nan so far has been captured
 Sheriff Palmer returned on the first train this morning to direct the search.
 Great mystery attends the escape, for at o'clock. when the prison officials made their rounds for the night. all the prisoners were locked in their cells. A thorough search reveals no instruments of any kind with which the bars were sawed into.
 The escape was effected from the sec- ond story by means of rope. made of strips of the prisoners blankets
 There were four men in the prison who point of a gun by the ring leader until the ten made good their escape. How this gun was secured is also a mystery. The supposition is that some friend out side smuggled it in. The sheriff and his posse are souring the city and adjacent country and doubtless will capture the entire crowd.
