MYSTERIOUSLY EVAPORATED.
Continued from Page 1.

Junction, were on the California
side of the river on the night of the
escape, waiting for the ferry boat
to take them across, when they saw
two men swimming across the river
at a point near where they were
standing.
Sunday forenoon, Mrs. Maude
Washbish took stroll down to the
river and was lying in the shade in
secluded spot near the road, when
an automobile came along and met
a footman who was going in the op-
posite direction. The driver and
the footman seemed to know each
other for they stopped and at once
entered into a discussion of the ar
rest, their nversation-such part
of it as could be Overheard-being
of nature that would lead to the
inference that they were both very
deeply interested in the outcome of
the case, and that a plan to rescue
the prisoners was contemplated,
hence another reason for the conclu-
sion that certain local individual
had a hand in the matter.
This bootlegging outfit is un-
doubtedly we'll financed and is no
small individual affair. for every
thing would go to show that it has
a strong backing and was prepared
to meet and overcome difficulties.
financially or otherwise The car
these men drove was a first class
Hudson, capable of outspeeding any
thing of the kind in this section, and
the quantity of liquor they carried
shows that they intended to do bust
| ness on a big scale. That they had
| been in Arizona before and intended
| to keep on coming is evidenced by
the two car licence numbers which
| they carried, and the artillery found
| in the auto is strong presumptive
| proof that they would not scruple
to commit acts of violence if neces-
sary in furthering their purpose.
