Three prisoners confined iu the coun ty jail at Jacksonville made their es cape therefrom Tuesday night last. They had l>een given the freedom of the jail during the daytime, and one of them secured and secreted in his cell one of the twoiron bars,about eight feet long, which are used to bar the corri- der door, but Lad been left off lately, the lock of the door lieing considered sufficient. The bar was not missed by tbe jailer Tuesday evening and he locked two of the men in one cell and one in another. The man in the cell alone had the bar, and when ho was ready for operations he easily pried his cell door open. Then he ojiened the door of tbe cell that held the other two, and all three were in the corridor. The grating door between this and the front rixrai of the jail w;is easily opened and the prisoners had but one door be tween them and liberty. This was the wooden outer door, but it gave them more trouble than all the others. A woollen partition iu the room had to be tom down to give room for the sweep of their long bars, but they eas ily tore this down, and, though they could not open the door entirely they succeeded in breaklag the common lock and springing the padlock hasp on the* outside so as to give opening enough for them to squeeze through. It is supposed they escaped about midnight. Several people in tbe neighborhood remembered next morn- •g having heard loud noises about midnight, but no one happened to think of the jail being torn open. Tbe heavy rain in tbe night no doubt helped to drown tbe noise. The jailer discov ered the flight of bis charges Wednes day moring about six o’clock and the sheriff and assistants Iiegan efforts for their recapture. The tracks of three men were traced for a distance in the muddy road southward, but finally lost, and none of the men had been captured at last reports. Two of the prisoners had been sent down from Ashland to await trial for breaking into freight cars here and stealing numerous article«. The third hud I mwu oonuinltM from Medford tor stealing a watch trom Capt. Ferree’s son. There were no other prisoners in tbe jail. Gold llill Notes.

Mr. Barclay camo out to California less than a year ago, seeking only a pleasant place for a home. That he should prefer Ashland to Oakland speaks well for our town. Mr. Mason Crary, wife and daughter, of .Mitchell. Dakota, arrived in Ash land last Friday evening via the Souh- ern Pacific. Mr. Crary has lieen a reader of the T idings for the past five mouths or no, and will probably make the Rogno river valley and Ashland with which ho is much pleased, bis home.
