ATTEMPTED JAIL BREAK. ,
The Inmates of the County Jail Try to
Escape by Sawing Oat.
Kurlght, better known as "Texas
Jack," who is in the oounty Jail on the
charge of horse stealing, committed
a year ago, and Wright, his pal, who
Is held on account of havlnggivcn hitn
assistance that would lead to his escapo
evidently do not propose to continue
their residence behind prison bars
longer than possible. Wednesday
Sheriff McFeron, who has been sus
picious of the men's actions, found
several saws and flies under a board In
the floor of one of the cells, but no evi
dence of tbelr use oould be found. It
seeniB that they had beeu using them
though to good effect. Last night
Sheriff McFeron and family were away
for about half an hour, returning honie
about 8 o'clock. On going to the
north corridor where Enrlght, Wright
and the two Henry Jacksons spend
the day, the sheriff was surprised :to
se four of the rods In the lower part
of the door bent down. The men were
just ready to bend the other rods In. a
little, when they oould have squeezed
through and made their escape th rough
the front door, They bad sawed the
rode iu the lower part of the door at
a place where it could not be seen ex
cept by bending down nearly to the
floor. It was probably the intention
to have make the break on Wednesday
night if the coast had seemed to be
clear, but 'for some reason it was post
poned until the next night. The two
darkies disclaimed any connection
with the affair at all, though it is prob
able they would have taken advantage
of the openlug. The work was un
doubtedly that of Enrlght and Wright
who bad received their saws through
the' window from a source that is easily
surmised, a frequent visitor at the
window offering plenty of opportuni
ties. The men were all placed iu their
cells, and will not be given many lib
erties hereafter. Democrat. '
Dastardly Work,
The Brownsville Times is authority
lor the folloftfiig "statement Tifnwo
contemptible outrages iu that com
munity: Some dirty contemptible
scrub ha been endeavoring to play
havoc with Jack Wlndes' threshing
machine, by placing rocks and bolts
in the bundles. A person who would
endanger machinery and human life
is fit subject for the guillotine, and the
sooner a community makes way with
such worthless cusses the better.
Tarring aud feathering would be too
lenient as a punishment for auoh wre
tches. Suspicion points to a certain
"tiling," resembling a human being
in every respeot, save one-he has no
heart-and wo would advise him to
skeedaddle. '
Last Tuesday during the absence of

, STATE REFORM SCHOOL.
The New Wings Completed-A Descrip.
tioa of the Building.
The two new wings' to the stole
reform school at Salem have been com
pleted. The work was commenced
during the early part of last winter,
and has been pushed steadily along,
considering the bad weather of a con
slderable portion of the time. The
brick were manufactured at the state
penitentiary, about 1,000,000 being used
In the two wings, the cost of hauling
them footing up to about $1500. The
wings have basement and two full
stories and an attic half-story; the
north wing has a sub-basement for the
heating apparatus, boilers, cellars, etc.
An assembly hall, with a seating cap
acity ot 400 is one of the features of the
north wing.
There are two additional school
rooms and much dormitory room in
these uew wings, and the accommoda
tions have been increased to such an
extent that 250 boys can be kept at the
institution. The principal portion of
the reformatory contains five floors.
basement floor, office and second floor,
uorimiory ana school room floor and
attic. From the basement to the top
of the tower or belfry of the main
building is 98 feet high, and to the top
of the flagstafr is 118 feet. The con
tract for the new wings called for their
completion by September 1. The total
coat was about $45,000. , The bulldinr
is now equipped with a hot-water heat
ing system, the finest aud largest on
the pacific coast, and the work was all
done by Salem contractors.
A Live Place.
According to the Riddle
Cottage Grove must be the livest place
lo Oregon: Cottage Grove has been
furnishing good deal of sensational
reading In the last fortnight. In the
first place the Bohemia mines are
"booming." Not long since a popular
ai. aj. ana wire left a fine new home for
parts unknown rather uuoeremouiope-
ly. Next the Rnhamla hnl .. .

John Helfricb fnrmly propietor of
i-otiage urove hotel for horsestealing,
but Helfricb. was on the alert and es
caped while the wary officer discharg
ed his "shooting irou'; after him.
Again on Wednesday we were startled
by a dispatch stating that young Short
ridge repaired to Hebron church and
blew his brains (?) out all because his
fiance Miss Pomell, refused to smile
on blm as of yore. And now Cottage
Grove will put In a system of gravity
works. It seems to us that It would
be a wiser and more practical plan to
station a company of Pinkertons ut
that place. At any rate Brother Thorp
has no cause to complain of scarcity of
news In those parts.
Indians in the Vineyard.
Fbesno, Aug. 24 A new element
entered into the labor question here
today,, when a oara van of 15 wagons
arrived from the mountains. They
were filled with Indians who came
down to work in tho vineyards. Iu
former years a few Indians picked
grapes, but they never turned out as
this year. It Is said that they are
coming dowu to the plains from all
quarters.
lluny Chinese are also going to work.
Many white men are at work, but.
as in former years, the white men are
not organized and the vineyardlst who.
wants fifty or seventy-five men must
bargain with eaoh Individual. The
wages offered range from 75 cents to
$1 a day and board.
