KfLLY BUTTE HAS

Thia has been an eventful week at

11 o’clock tbe sheriff's office was called
up and informed the prisoners were

joke. But when morning came 12 men
were missing and a 7 inch hole where
one o‘ the bars had been cut with a hack

through. Up to date none of tlie men
have been taken anil it is believed they
have left the county. It is probable they
were overlooked the evening before.
The prisoners are locked up at 9:1ft and
failure to examine the cells and account
for all the men delayed the exposure, as
it is probable the men escaped before the
time of ckwring.
The result of the break will be that the
sheriff will assume responsibility for the
prisoners at the Butte and that the
guards there will be dismissed. There
