JAIL BREAK
FRUSTRATED By JACKSON

Last Saturday afternoon When Depu
ty Sheriff Dave Jackson went into the
cell room of the county Jail, he found
James Sheldon and William Butler
quietly endeavoring to gopher out OF
the Jail by digging cut the brick wall
at the rear of the cells. They had
evidently been working at odd times
as they had about one dozen bricks
pried loose. The route they had pick
ed out for gaining their escape would
have taken them to a solid stone wall
which is part of the big vault in
the court house, and their progress
would necessarily have been slow. The
two men are the brace of birds that
broke into Rowles store and were cap
tured by Sheriff DeKay at Pocatello.
They recently plead guilty to charge
of grand larceny and stand a chance
Of being sentenced to several years in
the stir at Boise. Both men are now
in the exclusive set at the jail, occupy
ing steel cages, entirely alone and are
having their meals served in their priv
ate apartments, where they will prob
ably remain until the arrival of the
travelling guard from the pen.
