Spring fever invaded the Klamath county jail at about
I o'clock this morning with the result that four of the

of the jail breakers to give up all plans of liberty. This
was Harry Hamilton, who was held on a larceny charge.
Hamilton went to a local hotel, where he called up Sher
iff Hawkins and notified him that he had escaped. He
said he wanted to go back to the "hoosegow." 'The sher
