Prisoner In the County Lockup Seeks Liberty or Death. Last Thursday evening, about the dining hour, Sheriff Dunlap made a tour of inspection of the little jml building in which is at present incarcerated an un fortunate young man the first Inmate of that somler and dreary place for many months and found the prisoner Verne Hopkins nil prepared for a jail break. The prisoner had U-en allowed the pri vileges of the "corridor," or outer room since his incarceration and taking ad vantage of the situation had found an iron bar w ilh w hich he removed three sluts from the iml floor, making an aperture through which he could pons to the ground beneath the build ing. Once tiuilernratli be proceeded to dig a trench to the south end of the building, and when the hour came fur his escae he would have nothing to do but remove a Isiard from hciicuth I he sills and take himself ' ft. Everything was completed for the es cape. The SherilT made Inn inscelion at an opportune time, to the utter cha grin of tlie prisoner. The a-rture in the floor was covered by a blanket from the bed, and the olllror noticing this thought it strange. Lifting the blanket from the floor the means of the prisoner's escape w as discovered, and a jail break was averted. "So you were going to leave lu-re to night, wore you?" inquired the Sheriff. "Well, yes; that was my intention. You don't blame a fellow fur wanting to get out of this place, do you?" ansereil the prisoner. Sheriff Dunlap probably thought be could not blame him, though he did nK say so, and after locking hi in in the steel cage for the night admonished Ids priiwwv er that he would have to stay iu lis cage day and night if he made any tnur attempts at escape. The unfortunate young man promised faithfully not t try again. The jail floor has leeri re paired, the prisoner has the samu lilier-1 ties as before and the SherilT visit him at least twice a day now. Satisfaction That's hack of every sale we make.

Ttie Alturas corressndeiit to the Ce darville Record lust week had something to say regarding the extension work of the N-C-O. The correspondent probab ly knows what he is talking alul o far as the present work is concerned but miiiiin can safely say .just what the N-C-O people intend doing with their road, it is a matter of mere conjecture so far as the public is concerned and the only common sense opinion or surmise that can be maile is that the N-C-O will surely not stop short of a northern con nection, and iu order to make that they must move on north w ithin a couple of years. Too many railroad pvopl have their eyes on this territory to asiuiit of. any great delay in building, and Tbs Examiner still believes that within x very few years Iakeview will be tle headquarters of two distinct railroad The Record correspondent saysr. The track is now graded from. the res ervoir at Wilson Bayleys to Van Loans station. On Monday, the 6th, grading began at Termo, towards Van Loans. Ties are piled up at Plumas- Junction and other stations along the- line cient to build tbe extension to. the Reser voir and unless the strike of the eastern steel operators ties up the work there the narrow guage will te runuing through trains to Reservoir by the- first of November or middle of October. The new station is just above the Madeline plains and about five miles this side oi Van Ians. It is onlv four mi Us from the summit of the pass ii South Fork mountain and only thirUen miles from the town of Likely, aud thirty-three from Alturas. It will be- about 28 miles to Adiu anl Ti', to Cedarville. A. M. Miller went out to Van Loans last Sat urday night to figure uu the contract for the new hotel and barns about to be erected at Reservoir by Van I tun. Ah the new station is a division run of one hundred aud forty-five miles north from Reno it ia the general belief in railroad circles that no further extensions may be looked for until the road gets ready to make a big extension to Lakeview which may be years iu the future. R. M. Sample for many years the agent at Amedee was on the north bound truiu to Termo Saturday but it is not known yet whether he will again go into the em ploy of the company. His wife is very much better lu Los Angeles. NEW PINE CREEK jL, Is nioily forcing ahead ntid Foiled nml Amick, tins Merchants are trotting along at tli head of the procession. ?
