Uncle Sam proposes using slot

Break Jail at Manchester.

There was jail delivery from
the jail at Manchester last Thurs
day afternoon about B O'Clock.
Six of the white prisoners had
been permitted the run of the
corridor on account of the in
tensely warm weather, and while
the Sheriff was away the six men
hurriedly dug hole through the
brick wall of the building and
were soon on the road to liberty
and freedom. Five of the men,
Charlie Nunley, Frank Hobbs,
Kick Adams, Bill Barlew and
Pat Wells had passed out through
the aperture in the wall, and the
sixth man, J. Biskalum, was just
emerging from the hole when he
was discovered by Mrs. Wileman,
the wife of the jailer. The
plucky woman didn't do a thing
but get her husbands pistol from
a drawer and began fusillade
at the last named prisoner, who,
thinking that discretion was the
better part of valor, surrendered,
and was returned to his cell.
Adams and Nunley were captur-
ed that night by the Sheriff. The
courage and presence of mind of
Mrs. Wileman is the subject of
praise upon the tongues of all
the citizens of the town. The
Jail is brand-new structure,
and is fitted with steel cages of
the latest and most approved
patterns, and three of the pris-
oners, Nunley, Hobbs and
Adams had been sent to the Man
chester jail from Grundy County
for safekeeping, so great was the
reputation of the prison for Sc
curity. The prisoners used a
razor and a piece of frying pan
in digging their way to liberty.

The government at Washington is
asked to receive an appointee Of the
Huerta government as ambassador
from Mexico. The chances are that
our government will do nothing of the
sort. Unless Mr.. Bryan knows more
about the situation than the rest Of
us. there is no evidence that Mexico
has a government. Huerta is exercis-
ing authority in the city of Mexico
and through a considerable part of the
country. But there are important
sections where his authority is not re-
spected. and in which there is appar-
emily successful armed resistance to
his troops. The natural thing for
Washington to do will be to wait until
there is some reasonable evidence that
