Prisoners Break Jail

Last Saturday night six of the seven prisoners confined in the county jail made their escape. The seventh, an Indian who had but ten days longer to serve. de- clined to go out when the other six left. The men escaped through a hole they made in the brick wall on the east side of the building. The hole was punched out with a grate shaker of a stove which they had broken in two, making two sharp tools. At the time of the escape, Under sheriff Harp was at the Santa Fe station watching for a bootlegger expected on the midnight tram.
 Upon his return to his office Jailer Harp discovered the jail break and he started out to cap ture the men. Four of them were caught Sunday night, two at Adamana and two at Pinto. The other two have not yet been captured. The two still at liberty are bootleggers arrested three days before the escape. Of the four recaptured, two are bootleggers, one is a draft slack CT and the other is an Austrian arrested upon suspicion of being a spy.
 IL was comparatively easy for the prisoners to escape. They were not locked in the steel cages. but were permitted to re- main in the corridors of the jail. Only a brick wall stood between them and liberty. and they found but little difficulty in cut ting through this wall while the undersheriff was absent from his office.

Allied Armies are Winning

The greatest battle in the history of the world has been in progress in France for eight days. T h e terrific drive of the German army against the lines of the Allied armies has failed to break through, and the final result of the struggle now seems no longer in doubt. The German forces have been checked; nearly a half million of their men have been killed and captured, and it is expected that the Allies will soon recover whatever ground they have lost. They will then start an offensive campaign and will push this until the Ger mans have been decisively defeated.
 The American soldiers to the number of 100, 1000 gave a good account of them selves in the fighting.

Interesting Ball Game

A seYen-inning base ball game was played last Sunday after noon by the Holbrook club and the High School club. The game resulted in a victory for the Hol- brook club by 3 score Of 13 to 2.
 The game was witnessed by a large crowd of people, and was quite interesting. The boys of the High School nine put up a good game, although it was against heavy odds. Most of the players in this club play the game well, and they will give a good account of themselves when matched with players of equal weight.
 The members of the Holbrook club are many of them good players. All of them need prac- tice, and when they have been given this, the club will be a good one. The club will give a dance tomorrow night in Wetzler hall for the purpose of securing funds to equip the players with uniforms and other needed arti- cles. The affair is worthy of a liberal patronage by the citizens.

The Holbrook news., 1918-03-29

Shortly after noon last Mon- day a report became current in Holbrook that the Allied armies in France had won three big and decisive victories oyer the Ger man armies. The story was that in three days fighting the Allies had killed and captured a total of eight hundredth thousand Germans and that the Grown Prince of Germany was among the killed. The report seemed almost too good to be true, but as 1t was contained in bulletins given out to passengers on Santa Fe limited trains, it was believed by the loyal people of Holbrook. None knew until the next day that the baseless canard, was manufactured and sent broadcast throughout the land by brokers on the New York stock exchange. The canard was sent out no doubt for the purpose of infuenc- ing the stock market, and the men who did the dastardly work probably won millions of dollars on the stock exchange.
 
 Believing that nearly million of the Prussian hell-hounds had been killed and captured, the people of Holbrook started to celebrate the glad tidings in suitable manner. The public schools were dismissed, the High School band was called into service and a monster parade was formed and marched through the principal streets of the town. The parade was headed by the band; following the band came a large number of ladies carrying flags: behind these marched or rode in auto mobiles school children, men and other patriots. The parade was the largest ever seen in Hol- brook, and in it were practically every man. woman and child in town. Just before the parade disbanded, a number of the ladies of the Red Cross, who had left a meeting of the society to join the parade, passed the hat through the crowd for con- tributions to the Red Cross funds. About $32 was collected.
 The celebration of the suppos- ed victory of the Allied armies was resumed in the evening, when possibly 800 citizens as- sembled at the drug store corner and witnessed the hanging of the Kaiser in efigy. Some old clothes were hastily stuffed with straw to represent the German emperor and this efigy was hung upon an electric light pole. There it hung until Wednesday afternoon when it was blown down by the wind.
 The demonstration of loyalty made by the people of Holbrook upon the receipt of news that kaiserism had received a stag gering blow was a beautiful thing to see. Similar demons trations were staged in many other localities throughout the country, for the hoax was spread broadcast oyer the land. Such demonstrations are but forecasts of what will occur when the Allied armies finally win oyer the Prussians, which is as cer- tain as that night follows day.
