ideal remedy for any child showing a
tendency to constipation. So many

FRUSTRATED A JAIL DELIVERY
Nine Prisoners Hide Saw to Use in
Escape at Dodge CITY.

Dodge City, Kan, May 27.-An at
tempted delivery of nine prisoners
from the temporary county Jail here
was frustrated when Sheriff c. E.
Argabright discovered an iron saw
hidden in the steel ceiling of the Jail.
The plot was discovered when the
sheriff found a bar in one of the jail
windows sawed through. The saw had
been soaped to deaden the sound. Sew
eral parties had visited the county jail
during the day and it is thought the
saw was slipped in by outside friends.
AS a result of the attempt all the pris-
oners will be confined to their cells
till the new county Jail, the most up
to-date in the western part of the
state, is completed shortly after the
first of the month.
