two leaders would be adjusted with
out hostilities. 1t was stated that Car
ranza had informed the Washington
government that he would not attack

Williamson and Prisoners
Safely Transferred to New
County Bastile

An attempt at a Jail delivery was
nipped in the bud last night by Berry
Williamson, jailer, and the removal of
the prisoners from the city Jail to the
new county structure today at noon
banishes all possibility of a repetition
OF the occurrence of last night
Failure of the jailer ~ furnish the
prisoners with blue print of the city
hall basement caused them to start
operations in section of wall, hole
through which would have led them
not to liberty, as they fondly hoped,
hut into another Jail The rather
harsh joke that the boarders would
have played on the jailer was turned
upon them, and to rub it in" the re-
moyal of the crew to the new Jail was
effected only few hours before their
getaway as they had planned.
The usual hour for locking the men
in their cells has been 10 o'clock, but
suspicioning that something was UP,
Jailer Williamson surprised them at 8
o'clock last night and ordered them 10
their cells General Lee ducked into
an Unused cell and attempted to hide,
but Williamson ordered him out and
into his own cell, not intimating that
he had an idea that.a delivery was
planned.
After locking the men in the cells
Williamson left the building, as he
usually does, leaving Howard Gunnels
in charge, but instead of going to
town, he doubled back, slipped out of
window on the first floor, worked
his way along the alleyway between
the Jail and adjoining building and
peering through a barred window saw
where the men ahd been digging in
the brick wall He crouched beside
the window for time and heard the
men talking of their plans.
General Lee he stated, seemed to
be the ring leader, and the plan was
to complete the job today and leave to-
night about 1880 Not all the men in
tended to so. McNew stated to the
gang that if the door was left open
he wouldn't leave and others sided
with him, leaving General Lee and two
others of the eight prisoners to go
ahead with their work and attempt a
getaway. Unfortunately their labors
were wasted for two reasons: First,
they were moved to stronger Jail be
fore they had time to complete their
diggings and second, because if they
had gone through the wall, the open
ing would not have led into the work
room of the water department, as they
thought, but into another Jail, a verit
able dungeon, and it would have been
necessary to dig through another wal
before they could have reached free

is a perfect food containing all the ele

what has been done toward helpini
the farmer to produce sanitary milk
He must receive a reasonable prom
for his work.
When we consider that the prOduc
tion of pure milk does not call for ex
pensive equipment but only mean
constant care and cleanliness, why d.
these men remain on the dirty mil
list? Because the average produce
does not think it pays. EXceptiona

better still in money as they ask an

not all dealere get higher prices S
they will know clean milk pays best
Because the consumer is not aducat

for clean milk than dirty.
To have the farmer produce clea
milk, we must help him to get
higher price for his product. To d
