PAID CIRCULATION KEELEY'S BUTTE HAS SOME fXGITtMEM Of PETITIONS Senator Boume Takes Exceptions To Cnticisems, Answers Mr. Cridger, Mr. Barzee, and Makes Additional Suggestions Three prisoners escaped from the offl- cialls at Kelley’s Butte on Thursday evening. Just how the escape was managed has not been explained. The men who got away were William Tarn- ley, serving a IMO day term for vagrancy, and who had a call from Seattle and Tacoma for robbery. Elrner Johnson, three months for larceny, and J. Han ford who was likewiae serving time for vagrancy. An effort waa made to capture tne men but timber immediately surround ing the Butte Jail made escape easy. It is a matter of time when the county will come to realize that the land near the Butte will afford tiettar chances for a capture of a prisoner if the timber ia removed and |iut in some short grass. The men were caught Sunday by ■ leputy game warden* W. J, Smith, Elmer Johnson and, in the wood* between Troutdale and the Co Inmhia. Smith wa* first found, Ervin and Clark running on to bun in the wood*. He cr>nfe»*e<i that be waa one of the men who had »soaped and wa* taken to a neigh tsirmg farmhouse by the warden», who immediately notified the sheriff.
