DEPUTIES SPOIL
CLEVER ATTEMPT
TO BREAK JAIL

A Jail break at the county Jail
which might have reached serious
proportions was nipped in the bud
yesterday afternoon when Jailers Ell
Milner and G. G. Tucker discovered
the west door of the center tank had
been partially sawed.
The 80 or more prisoners in the
center tank denied knowledge of the
attempt to saw out but a search of
the cells produced the steel saw
which had been used.
The culprit has not as yet been
identified but all prisoners have
been locked up in their individual
cells and tank liberty denied except
for exercise periods.
Miner discovered the sawed parts
of the doors when making his usual
inspection. 1t is understood loud
singing and shouting aroused the
suspicious of the jailers and quiet
search was made for the expected
cuttings
The prisoner who did the job had
evidently been experienced as the
cuts were filled with white soap
which matched the white paint of
the bars. Miner scraped the cut
portions Of the hinges, with a razor
blade and discovered the soap.
