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.
