pretended as He Hops off

Different Sections May Lead to

Steve Gunis, the Greek, is the first
OF the four escapes from the county
Jail to fall into the clutches of the
officers again. He was apprehended
at La Grande this morning when he
hoped off of No. 6.
Sheriff Taylor and his deputies have
had men on the lookout all along the
line ever since the jailbreak and this
morning received word that a man
answering the description of Gums
had boarded No. at Kamela. When
No. pulled into La Grande, the Of
ficers of that city were awaiting him.
No definite trace of the other three
men has been found. Sheriff Tay-
lor does not think they we're with the
Greek from the time of the escape,
Some reports have come in from diff
ferent sections that may be clews, but
the officers think the men may be
hiding out for few days.
In making hole in the Jail wall,
the men used an old pair Of scissors
to start the first brick The stick Of
wood was probably used later in
loosening the other bricks. The men
sang as they worked in order to drown
out the noise of their work. AS they
frequently sang no significance was
attached to the singing at that time.

Very satisfactory terms have been
made by the county court for INSTALL

This settlement also prevents any
opportunity that the city library board
or city mayor might otherwise take in
the future to threaten removal of part
of the furniture as they recently
threatened removal of certain books.
This makes the county of Umatilla
the sole owner of the central county
