accused  him  of  having  said  that  she  or  her  hus- 
band attempted  to  poison  his  grub.  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.

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.

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.
