JAIL DELIVERY
IS PREVENTED
Authorities Find Several Fine
Saws in Cells Of
Prisoners
THE PLAN IS TIPPED
One Prisoner Gives Sheriff
Information Which Leads
to Discovery
THE PLAN IS TIPPED

MONTESANO, March 14.-An at
tempt to break Jail in the new Cheha-
lis county structure was discovered
by the authorities yesterday, when
one of the prisoners tipped off the
matter and within a short time a
search revealed a number of saws
used in the work.
Just who the ringleader of the Jail
delivery is, has not been definitely
determined, except that NJ Arnold,
found guilty for passing worthless
checks, and E. L. Duston, who has
just been declared innocent of sim
liar charge, are held as having had
a hand in the matter.
The saws were no doubt given to
the prisoners Monday and they got
busy that evening. The steel bars
proved too hard for the metal saws
and instead of cutting through the
core of the iron, the teeth We're ground
down.
The prisoners had taken steel
bar from one of the hunks, which
was used in knocking off the plaster
for the purpose of finding where the
bars were embedded in the concrete.
The plaster was then cleaned up, the
holes stuffed with paper and made
to resemble the wall by remixing the
plaster.
There were 25 prisoners in the Jail,
the most serious charge being that
of forgery The holding Of Duston,
who is said to have been a pal of
Arnold. will probably develop some
thing towards getting at the bottom
of the attempted delivery He was
tried the second time yesterday for
passing bad checks and the jury found
him not guilty, so that he was free.
