Godward, Ernest McIntyre, Kenneth Puhi, Cecil Ager, Arnold Coleman, Harley Flemming and Ivan Applegate. Two prisoners, George Botts and Louis Lavinne, confined in the county jail on a charge of shooting at a brake- man on the S. P. rBilroad while steal ing a ride on a freight train, made an attempt to escape Saturday evening, in which Botts got clear away and has not been heard of since, and Lavinne broke his leg and is now in a hospital at Medford." The break for liberty was made while the jailor, who is a new man in the position, was away at supper: The prisoners, being left outside the cells in the jail corridors, ascended to the top of the upper tier of cells and with a couple of old knives and a jimmy cut a hole through the roof and escaped to the top of the building. Botts jumped first, alighting on the top of a low building alongside, and Lavinne, frightened by the appear ance of a passerby, jumped off farther along the roof, landing on the cement walk and breaking his thigh. He was found about 6:30 and taken to Medford where aid was given. Botts is still at large,, although efforts have been made by the sheriff to locate him.
