The four convicts who were in the second tier of cells thtMi rut their way through the roof into the third tfier, where Convict I0sl!e was in cell 31. The two Jajmnese were imprisoned in cell S3, and cut their way Into cell 32. Castle was imprisoned In cell 21. and cut his way through into cell 32. where all of the escaped convicts assembled and broke through the roof. The roof was of sheet steel, one-fourth of an Inch thick. One of the sheets of teel was bent downward and the other pushed up, and through tills opening the convicts left th prison. Once on the roof, the convict. scaled the, walls with rones made from blankets In their cells. Two of the men had also made clothing of their blankets before the escape was made. Everything would indi cate that the men. immediately upon get ting on the outside, made their way to the wharf and boarded the Government launch Irma. This they attempted to man, but failed to handle It right, with the re sult that the dynamo broke and left them stranded. Not discouraged by this failure, the con victs worked the' launch near shore.' dis embarked and boarded two rowboats. which were tied to .shore. It is presumed they then rowed out until daybreak, when they put up at sonv beach and started out in quest of -clothing. If they again take to the boats, it is thought they will not do so- until after .dark. George: Wade is supposed by the United States Marshal's ofllce to be the leader of the gang. He has given the Federal offi cers a'good deal of trouble during the last 14 years, and has made four escapes. Marshal Hopkins has -large posses ready to start out as so6n as the convicts are seen. The prison was inspected last Sat urday, and it Is believed that immediately thereafter the convicts began digging, through the briek partitions, using spoons, which had been concealed in the mat .treises. At midnight, when a ledger reporter left McNeil's Island, nothing had been seen or heard of the esoaped convict. Federal officials in launches have been patrolling along the various islands, but found no trace of the former prisoners. It is believed they will come out of hiding during the night, and their trail may be picked .up tomorrow. GOOD ROADS FOR BENTON. Association Is Organized With a . Large Membership. CORVALLIS. Or..
