Wallace Blake, colored, held in Jail
at Easton, Nd, for trial at the No
vember term of the Talbot County
Court on charge Of chicken stealing,
broke from the prison sometime Sat
urday night and is still at large. He
was missed about IL o'clock when the
sheriff took some drunks to their cell.
Using a piece of iron broken from the
cot in his cell, Blake had dug hole
through a ten-inch brick wall and
made his way to the yard. With the
aid of a step ladder and tank he
scaled the high wall and dropped to
the street on the other side. Blake
broke the lock on the door of an old
dungeon in the prison and it was
through the wall of this room that he
cut his way. He then found himself
in an old corridor that had not been
used for years. At the end was the
door leading to the jail yard. He
forced the lock on this and once in the
yard had no trouble getting over the
wall
