TO JAIL
AFTER A24 HOUR
STROLL in HILLS
BANON HELD TO APPEAR BE
FORE GRAND JURY on ARSON
CHARGE.

Jean Banon, a prisoner in the
Eureka county Jail since October ?,
1911, being held to appear before
the next grand jury on charge of
arson. in setting fire to the James
kautz dwelling house in Eureka,
found the iron door leading into
the jail unlocked last Monday and
walked out for a breath of fresh
air in the country returning to the
jail about "a hours later.
The discovery that he was miss
ing Was not made until Deputy
Sheriff r. A. Laird went to the Jail
to give Banon his supper, which is
brought to the Jail about 4: 80 p. m.
II was not thought at first that Ba-
non had left town, and Sheriff Mar
tin Mahoney and Deputy Laird
ombed the town in an effort TO
lind him They could discover no
trace OF Banon or learn that any
one had seen him, and 1t was then
decided that he had struck out
for the hills.
As there was some apprehension
that Banon might do injury to the
family of Mrs. Agnes Morrison in
antelope valley. where he had pre-
viously worked as a sheepherder,
and against whom he was thought
70 have grudge, Sheriff Mahoney
furnished James Kautz with a horse.
and he left early Tuesday morning
TO notifying the Morrison family
of Banon's escape and to try and
discover some trace of him.
Greatly to everybody's surprise,
Sheriff Mahoney found Banon sit
ting by the stove in his outer Of
flee the next afternoon about A
o'clock When asked If he was
hungry and had returned for sup
per. he said he was not very hun
cry as he had eaten at the Regli
ranch. While not very communica-
tive, he told the sheriff he did not
know what caused him to leave,
that he just found the door open
walked out. and kept on walking. .
He said he slept in the hay at
Regli's ranch, about ten miles from
Eureka, on Monday night, and after
having breakfast at the ranch next
morning decided to return to his
quarters in the Jail, and he walked
back to town.-Eureka Sentinel.
