TRUSTY ESCAPES; CAUGHT SHEniJT KEEPS REOORI) OF XOT LOSING PRISOXEIt. KretlcrU-k Kri-kson ioes to Get To bacco, but Does Xot Return. Deputy Cojle Makes t'aplure. No better evidence of the efficiency of Sheriff Stevens' forces has been evidenced since the present Pheriff took charge of l is oflh-e than was manifested last night when for an Irour or two it was thought that one of the prisoners in the County Jail had Irrevocably made his escape. The man. who attempted to get away. was Frederick Krickson. 27 years old. who hud been sentenced to one year's imprUonment In the County Jail for the larceny of some clothes from a roomlng- housv. He had served all of his time, but four months. He was used as a "trusty" or as a sort of a helper about the Jail. Jyast night he was permitted to go up stairs to the Courthouse for some to bacco for some of the prisoners not al lowed from behind their bars. Instead of returning. Krickson krpt on going. Within five minutes Jailer Phillips missed Krickson and searched Immediate ly for him. Not finding him about the Courthouse building, an immediate alarm was s-nt out. This was at S:30 o'clock. The Sheriff was notified of Erlckson's breach of trust and within a few minutes every deputy connected with the Sheriff's office rod out searching for the missing man. In an incredibly short time every town close to Portland had been notified by long-distance telephone and every out side streetcar line and railway depot had been covered. The police were also notified. About 9:30 o'clock Deputy Sheriff W. F. Coyle raw Krickson at hirst and Alder streets and recognized him from tho description he had received from Sheriff .Stevens. The ofllcer grabbed the man Immediately and hustled hini off to the County Jail again, where he is now deharred from the privileres of "trusty." Rrickson said he had fallen In love with a young lady who came around the Jail with a party of religious workers from the Olive Branch Mission, corner of Second and Ankcny streets, and that he had received word yesterday evening from her that she did not care to hear from him any further. This made him downhearted and it is thought he wan dered away In a fit of despondency per haps contemplating suicide. The rcrapturo of Krickson was met with great display of Jubilation among the Sheriff's forces, as the present force under Sheriff Stevens has established the record of being the only Sheriff's force since the Jail was built which had not permitted a prisoner to escape.

The markets usually have the least variety to offer, and the Winter fruits and vegetables are beginning to pall.

The great egg question (the "very best eggs" are quoted at 7 cents a dozen this week) adds to the difficulty of the economical housewife's prob lem. The only comfort obtainable lies in the' thought of how we shall revel in omelets, and poached eggs; sponge cakes, angel food, and custards, when eggs are again cheap and plentiful, and we can use all we want without anxiously consulting our bank account. New potatoes and new pink forced rhubarb havo made their appearance this week, at I24 and 15 cents a pound respectively. Carrots, both French and otherwise are very good .lust now.

Tomatoes are 20 cents and green peppers 50 cents a pound: cu cumbers 20 to 25 cents each. Red cab bage Is rather high in price and green peas nre slightly lower; otherwise the variety and prices of vegetables are about the same as last week.
