The general conditions of the

than now and the outlook for a

The Gila valley is about forty
miles in length and Stafford is
the largest city and main point
of commerce. The grain crop this
year was over $500, 900 bushels.
Big Alfalfa Crops
The main crop is alfalfa and
so, 900 tons were shipped out of
the valley this season, to say
nothing of the hay consumed al
home by stock. The hogs cattle
and poultry industry of this val
ley is unequaled in the state.
Many small poultry farms are
located around Stafford and are a
good source of revenue to their
owners.
There has been plenty of water
for irrigation and with the recent

of irrigatirg. There are IS, 00C

HELP THE RAILROADS
CHAMP FEELS BETTER
CUT THEIR WAY OUT OF JAIL

Mr.. James Engesser. driving by the
Jail this morning. saw rope made OF
blankets dangling from the part of
the prison where the white men are
kept. He at once notified the jailor,
ard investigation showed that three
prisoners had escaped.
The Jail breakers were c. E. Lowell
of Hamilton, o., and Ralph Holton of
Chicago, and A. J. Sims of somewhere
in Tennessee. The first two men were
captured by Jack Embry and brought
here about month ago. They were
charged with raising express money
orders and bound over to the next
term of circuit court. Sims is the
umbrella thief and was also bound
ever. The three men were in the lower
tier of cells in the big room at the
southwest corner of the Jail.
At least one of the men must have
been an expert cracksman or a COM
petent mechanic; also he must have
found flaw in the iron wall. A tool
to cut out with was made by prizing
loose piece of one of the cot frames,
which is of steel Wrapping piece
of cloth around the thicker part of
this, and sharpening the thinner edge
on the floor of the cell, it made a
clumsy but efficient cutting tool. With
it the men worked every minute they
~ -
the wall. They hadn't taken much
time, as the jail is searched every few
days.
They cut the iron wall until it was
almost thru. Then they further broke
up the cot and made out of the pieces
and strips torn from their clothing,
two very ingenious jacks.
They probably began their last
work as soon as everything was quiet
last night. They had nearly cut
around three sides of square in the
wall, and finishing the cut brought
the point and body of their clumsy
but strong tool into use until they
priced the iron up far enough to put
in their jacks. After this the work
was easier and after awhile they had
pushed the flap of metal up until there
was room enough for man to crawl
through. They were soon out, and
first tried to dig thru the brick wall
of the room. 1t promised too long d
job, and they climbed on top of the
cells, taking with them three blankets
from their cells. There is an apparatus
Tor ventilation on top of this section
of the Jail. and thru this they made
their way, tied their blankets into q
rope, swung it out, slid down anC
were free.
In spite of all their work, they were
quiet, not awakening anyone but one
prisoner, who didn't know what they
were doing, but heard an auto driv,
up, in the street nearby, and after
awhile heard it start up again.
1t is hardly necessary to say tha
every effort is being made to recap
tore them.
