PLANNED
ESCAPE!
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.

R. Rs EXTENSION
What the N-C-O In
tends Doing.
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.
