Manila bay and one of the greatest
naval fighters the world has ever produced?

about to drive out to Mr. Frost's.

MissM.Cuuningham's,and Mr. Bracey
wm about gettinsr in when the team
b.__,__e f-reighte.i.U and ran away,
running a blocK up Main street and
turning short around, throwing Mrs.
Bracey out against a tree in front of

Geo. Hawley and a man named Lynn
were arrested some time ago and
lodged in the county jail, as mentioned
in tbis paper. It will also be remembered that they were the men who
stole goods from the depots of Farwell
and Temple. On Sunday night, May
15, they msde their escape from bhe
countv jail by cutting through the
floor of bheir cell and going out through
the cellar by way of the furnace room.
They were assisted by outside parties,
as the door of the furnace room was
open and the lock gone. That they
received outside aid is further shown
by the fact that all tools belonging to
the jail were in their proper places.
It is said the prisoners were unusually
happy on the evening they made their
escape. When supper was served
them they laughed and joked and
Lynn played a banjo, no doubt to hide
the noise thab was being made by
them as they proceeded with their
work. ITo clue yet as to their whereabouts.   Lynn's wife is still in jail.
