Juck Del Monte, vl;o is being
held in the county jaiil tuunsvvcr
tlic charge of assault to commit
robbery made an unsuccessful
attempt to secure his freedom
by the tunnel route a week ago
last Sunday and bail not Sheriff
Georgo McDuffee by chance
went to the jail a half hour
earlier than usual the attempt
would probably have been suc
cessful. When Mr. McDuffee
went to his office Sunday after
noon at 4:30 instead of 5:00
o'clock, as was his custom, he
happened to glance out of the
wiudow and was surprised to see
a stick thrust up through the
sod close to the jail wafl. Speedy
investigation revealed the fact
that DclMoute had cut a hole
through the concrete floor of the
jail corridor burrowed down a
couple of feet to the bottom of
the wall and then up to the sur
face. Unfortunately for him
self his work had proceeded to
the point whero he was able to
thrust the slick, with which he
had done his excavating, thru
the sod just at the moment that
the sheriff glanced through the
window.
It is believed the prisoner had
bceu working ou his tunnel for
several weeks as the sheriff and
others around the court house
bad heard suspicious noises on
several occasions which could
not bo satisfactorily accouutod
for. Del Monte had made the
opening in tho concrete lloor
under a cot which stood in the
corridor and also kept the hole
covered with a piece of old card
board, about tho same color as
the floor, and iu the scmidark
ness of tho jail tho opening was
not noticod.
Del Monte and a young inau
named Vaughn, who is hold on
a charge of larceny were allowed
the freedom of the corridor dur
ing the day and locked in the
steel cngo at night but from now
until court meets that privilege
will bo denied them. U is thot
Vaughn had no part in the at
tempted break other than to act
as lookout for Del Moute while
the latter worked.
When tho sheriff made his
discovery ho at once put the

day morning, at an early hour,
the bride being their daughter
Virginia, and the groom Jesse

throughout tho country.
The groom belongs to ono of
tho oldest and most influential
families, aud tho bride also, is
not only known for hor long
residence aud sterling qualities,

difficult to lind more of the de
sirable qualities of iniud, talent,
and character embodied in one
personality, than is found in the
small person of Virginia Craw
ford. Their friends entertain high
hopes of their future happiness,
aud they carry with them to
their new home the best wishes
of a host of friends.
The wedding vows were sol
