BREAKS JAIL.

Wiley Frizzell, seventeen-year-
old boy in Jail here charged with
house breaking, broke jail Friday
night and is still at large. A crazy
man was put in Jail in the afternoon
and the jailer unwilling to risk the
boy in the cell room with the crazy
man left the boy out in the corridor.
Early in the night Frizzell by the aid
of an iron poker picked a hole
through the brick wall and using bed
covers for a rope swung himself to
the ground and departed without
leaving his forwarding address.
In order to hasten his jour-
ney he went to the jail
er's barn and bridled horse and
galloped out of town. 1t was bit
ter night and the Jail breaker soon
decided that walking If slower was
more comfortable. and turned the
horse loose and proceeded on foot.
The horse found its way home be-
fore daylight, and the boy found his
way to a place of hiding.
