Mr. Piper denied having made such a statement, but ad- mitted that he had said that he had tracked Mr. Holloway to and from the house. He did not get the scales, and Mr. Holloway is talking of having him prosecuted for the talk he has made.

he has made. ( 5 ) It is quite evident that someone did poison the yeast from the effect of which Mr. Shelly came near losing his life. The matter should be thor- oughly investigated by the next grand jury. From the February 20, 1891, Issue of The Enterprise JAIL DELIVERY It has been the custom of the night guard, Mr. A. Crowe, to show considerable leniency to two prisoners, William Walters and Miles Mc- Innes, by allowing them to remain in the corri- dors until 8 or 9 o’clock. He has also been in the habit of locking his pistol up in a desk near by, not apprehending any danger from these trustys. On Monday evening he extended this leniency by allowing them to remain in the cor- ridors till 11 o’clock. Making the round of the cells as he turned one of the corners he was suddenly confronted by the two men and a pistol thrust into his face, his keys were taken and his pistol from the desk soon in the hands of one of them. The guard was then marched to the corner of the wood pile where one of them taking charge of him, he was compelled at the point of the pistol to accompany his former prisoner three or four miles to the north of town to the vicinity of Bremen’s mine on Chloride Flat. Here Mr. Crowe was released and made his way back to town after several minor mis- haps. In the meantime the flight of the jail birds and capture of the guard had been dis- covered by Judge Lynch on making his round before going to bed, and he with Sheriff Lock- hart were awaiting the return of Mr. Crowe who came back about 4 o’clock in the morning cha- grined and disgusted.
