Evidently not having a liking for close confinement, be conceived the idea of seeking freedom and the pleasures ot the open air life, and sometime during the shades ot nmht on Saturday he broke his bonds, and is now serving a self-imposed parole and putting himsblf outside the jurisdiction of the Mo-row county peace officers. Conlin had been an exemplary pris oner, and as such was allowed consider able liberty about the jai1. He was not locked in his cell on Saturday evening, m fact he had not been locked up in this manner much of the time, but . was al lowed the use of the jail corridor where be could exercise himself more freelv, the officers of course having no suspicion that he would try to escape The prisoner was figurine differently He had been used to do oddiobs around the court house, and had rn his rounds picked np a piece of file, about four inches in length, and at some other time to the jailer unknown, he had with-held from the lunch basket one of the steel forks. Usintr the fork flat iron about an inch square and a little more than a sixteenth of an inch thick, which be shaped np to fit the lock in the outside door, be fashioned a kev that he unlocked the door with and quietly walked away. In the Sheriff's office he went through some drawers but took nothing. There was a loaded revolver in on of th drawers, bnt Conlin seems to have de cided that he had no use for this, so left it. After getting into the office it was an easy matter to get on the out side, for all he bad to do was to shove up a window and scoot. So far no trace has been found of him. and it is not even clear to the sheriff just what direction the fellow took, tho it is surmised that he hit for the moun tains. He was cautious enough to leave no distinct tracks behind. As stated before, Conlin was in iail awaiting the action of the grand jury on a charge of uttering false checks. At his preliminary about two months age he waived examination and confessed that he was guilty, so there is no doubt but he would have been indicted, tried and sent oyer the road for the crime. The neatness with which he executed this job proves that he iBan old offender. Sheriff Hayes has the key in his possession, as wed as the file with which it was made, and he will retain the instrument as a souvenir. It can be seen at the court house, and it will be recognized at once that Conlin is surely a mechanical genius. He is no slouch of a locksmith, to say the least. and street sprinkling concerning the latter proposition several schemes for getting water were proposed, and it was finally decided to appoint a committee to look ud th! matter and make some experiments of getting water from wells already bored but not being used. One of these is located in thebasementoftheFsirbuild ing, and the committee installed a pump in this to test its abilitv to furnish watnr sufficient to sprinkle the streets. This committee met last night to bring in its report. There was much talk, also over thp proposition of forming a volunteer fi-n company, and this was left in the hands centage of attendance was 93,25. For the previous year it was 93.42. but when we take into account the epidemic of measles which interfered with tlm schools of all the towns and several of the country schools, the percentage is very satisfactory. Three new district have been formed since the last annual report. The superintendent visitpd every school which has been in sesnion during the year and nineteen a second time.
