THE . DAILY AST01UAN, ASTORIA, THURSDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 5, 1895.
4Ubi Mei,
Ibe Apes."
At a recent banquet in New lork
witty parson gave the following toast:
"Ubl Mel, Jbl Apes." Ono said It meant
"where there Is honey there will be
toeea;" another, "where tho carcass Is,
there will the vultures be;" anothsr said
"where the turtles are the clubo will be;"
the last salj "where the earJs are there
the ships will tve." The parson discarded
nil, and said It meant "where there Is
attraction there will tho admirers be."
And we said to ourielvcs, trie secret Is
out, for people continue to crowd our
store because genuine bargains continue
every day and notwithstanding a loufi
blowing of trumpets from all the four
corners, customers know we have at
tractions they want and they come.
Today those lhat come here
and w int ba h towel a will hnd
among a lot just opened a full
bleached, extra heavy, lurk-
ish lowel for 23c. that is worth
more money. That's the plain,
bald tact. A volume of talk
wouldn't say more.

Seven Men Escape From the
County Jail. ,
THEY TIED DRENNEN UP
Beside Adding Insult to Injury by
Locking Him in a Cell.
Lost nlg'ht ttven prisoners awaiting the
action of the grand Jury escaped from the
cdunty Jail after first overpowering their
keeper, and severely maltreating him.
The affair occurred at a few minutes to
S o'clock and -fcefore very long half the
peop.e on the streets of the city crowded
icuna tne jail entrance anxious to ob
tain all particulars. Sheriff Hare and a
strong force of deputies, assisted by the
cny ipoyoe, immediate.y began a vigorous
hunt over the hills at the bick of the
city, and through every locality where It
was probable the fugitives might be
iounu.
Reames, one of the D.-lsontrs nnvii'ln
trial for robbing a scow near Portland
of a gun and other articles, had been nf.
ferlng from mumps for some days, and
at a little before 8 o'clock last evening
jar.er urennan tooK nim a. lotion from a
drug store to apply to his neck. Reames
was in the right hand back corridor at
the time, with seven other men, "Bishop"
Robert, the alleged Catholic fraud, John
Liaussen, A. n. Love, H. Sehrad.T, An
derson, 'Murphy, and Matlln. In the cor
rldor on the other side were Younir. Me.
Oann, Henry Grove, Louis Denny, and
a -iiiiiuiiian. as soon as 'urenn-xn op
preached the door of the right hand cor
ridor with Reames" medicine, Claussen
stepped to the gate and told him that
the 'bishop wanted him to attend to some
of his wants. Drennan, instead of hand
ing the medicine for Reames through the
uars, as ne naa intenled to do, and kno-w
ing mat lloberts was sick, unfastened
the gate with t'he Intention of going to
the latter'B ceil, when Claussen and
neames made a rush at him. Claussen
threw his arms round Drennan's neck
and dragged him to the ground, hair
throttling him in the desire to keep him
from giving the alarm, nnd then, with
the assistance of Reames, picked him up
by the legs, carried him into Sohrader's
cell, and laid him on the bunk. Tnere
mey got ropes and tied his hands and
'feet together, lashing them securely with
half a dozen knots. They found a towei
and were proceeding to gig him but he
p.eadcd so hard that thy desisted
Claussen said, "We don't want to hurt
you, old man; you ve treated us pretty
white, but we're going to get out of this
hole quick." R. ams ordered Schrader to
get a club and stand at the door of the
corridor, telling him to brain anybody
that tried to get in or out. Schrader
went to the woodpile and, arming him
self with a 'big stick of maple, stood
reauy 'lor 'business.
Anderson, Claussen. Reams. Love nnd
Schrader then left the corridor, looking
the door as they went out, and immedi
ately went over to tho left hand corridor
and unlocking it, yelled, "Come on, all
wno want to go." Only two of the live,
l,ouis Denny and Henry Grove, respond
ed to the Invitation. The seven men thsn
went out Into Drennm's bedroom, took
a revolver and a box of cartridges from
a drawer and the gun Reames is accused
or stealing, from a corner of the room,
nnd then slowly crept into the yard and
from there to the street. The darkness
favored them and they got away with
out being perceived, dropping the Jailer's
keys on a bone1.! at the front door c't
the prison.
As soon as they had gone, M irphy, who
Is in custody waiting trial for the theft
of a watch from John Kopp, and who
a.l through the senile showed a disposi
tion to assist Drennan, ran to release
him, and In a couple of minutes had sev
ered the ropes that bound his hands and
legs. Then, led by Drennan, all the
prisoners began yelling "fire" and "mur
der," In the hope of being heard from the
street and being released from the corri
dors. They kept up the noise for nearly
fifteen minutes when a lady passing by
the Jail heard the commotion and In
formed some of the county otticlals who
were at work In the courthouse. They
at once ran over to the Jail and had
Drennan out of his embarrassing situa
tion In a few minutes. The E'hjrlff was
immediately Informed of the occurrence
and he organized a search party. As soon
as Drennan was able to tlk he gave an
account of the affair substantially the
same as the above, with the additional
statement that, though his assailants
were careful to keep his head bent down
to the ground the whole time, he found
out tlielr identity hy their voices. He
gives Murphy considerable credit for the
way In which he acted during the affair.
"itithop" KCbert made no attempt tj
escape. 'Indeed he Is In a very serious
physical condition, and his fellow prison
ers nX claimed last night that he was
being shamefully neglected, not by the
JHer. but for want of a irhysl.Men. The
man is guttering- great pain, and some-
tiling rhould be immediately done to re
lieve him. He states that he had not
asked for any special attention last
night from Drennan, and that Claussen
merely made the statement as a pretext
to get the Jailer to open the ,?nte of the
corridor.
Murphy says that- for several nights
lately Schrader, Reames and Claussen
have stayed out of bed till very late
whispering together In the corridor, and
no doubt concocting som plan for their
escape. According to his story there has
been a, feud between hl-mseif and the
three ringleaders of the affair for some
time, as they have stupected hlin of spy
ing on them, and therefore have been
very careful not to let him get an lnk
Mng of their plans.
The lone Chinaman was dumbfound!
by. the whole occurrence and seemed to
t.iilnk that the authorities would start
In -without loss of time, nnd out of re
venge behead al Ithe prisoners who hnd
not taken advantage of the opportunity
