Mexican along who had been convict ed for the same offense.
 Go Out Back Way
 After they had secured what guns, ammunition and booze they wanted, they made their way out through the corridor that leads into the yard and the women's apartments. Wilson and some of the prisoners sat down and talked to a woman prisoner called Rose the Healer" from Douglas, and they then went out the back gate. Wilson gave the keys to the woman and told her after they had been gone while to go and let the guards out. This she did. In the meantime the prisoners had gone to the section house and tried to get the gasoline motor car out, but could not. They then went up the street looking for an auto. They could find none, but met Arthur Ivey on the street. Wilson told him that he had broken down in the country and wanted machine to haul him in. He directed them toI the house of J. s. Chambers and Will son called Chambers out and told him the same story, he went out and then they forced him to open the garage, but he had nothing but two trucks which did not suit their fancy. About this time Louis Kuckenbecker, of the First National bank, drove up the street and turned to put his car in his garage about three doors above where Chambers was. He had just stepped out of the car when Wilson covered him with a gun, made him drive down to Chambers place and had Chambers fill the car with gaso- line and water and then making Cham bers get in the back made Kucken- becker drive out of town, one of the Mexicahs holding a six shooter on him. They left town headed for White City, where Wilson expected to find an other car. Here they were dissapoint ed only finding a young man named Fry fixing up his Ford. Wilson got out and looked it over and decided that he did not want it, but in order that Fry could not go far and report seeing them, he deliberately cut all the castings with his knife. They then started for the Mexican line being directed by one of the Mexicans, they ran up into Miller canyon and had to turn back and on their way back toward the river ran into the officers.
 Have Short Fight
 As soon as Holland and Whalen were released they reported the mat ter and word was phoned here and City Marshal Kempton and Officers Hill Ruff, William Sherill and Deputy Sheriff William Brakefield left at once 10 try and head the party off from crossing the line near Palominas As they crossed the bridge at Here ford they saw the lights of a car moving along the foothills and re ceived word there that the men were in that locality They started in that direction, but as the prisoners car was running with the lights out mostI of the time they had hard time try ing to locate it. They finally caught sight of it and started in pursuit. Asl they were racing up a lane they saw Q car coming back toward them and were not sure, but as the car passed l they realized it was the prisoners and ordered them to halt, as they did sol Wilson opened fire with six shooter, | the ball hitting the butt of Kemp tons gun as he had it to his shoul- i der. The officers get out of the car and returned the fire but as the car was moving away from them in the dark they failed to hit, only one of the | bullets hitting the front fender. The | officers then gave pursuit and ran the prisoners through wire fences and across the line into Mexico where they had to stop.
 The officers returned to Naco and Kempton and Brakfield made arrange ment to go across the line while Ruff and Sherill came back here. The Mexican officers gave permission to the others to cross and furnished them with fifteen men and they went back 70 take up the trail and at o'clock they were in Cananea and had about 100 Mexican soldiers looking for the men in the San Pedro country. Sher- if Guy Welch, who was in the north . Grn part of the county did not learn . of the escape until yesterday about noon and returned to Tombstone and I at once started fer Naco where he se- cured passports and with Deputy Cross of Douglas and a few others went to take up the trail. When he came through Hereford on his way to Naco he met Kuckenbecker and Cham 5ers who had just arrived there from
