Jail Break by Three Prisoners Ends in Pursuit
Deputies C F Webb and Mrs Webb were overpowered as three prisoners Lea Wardlow and Trout escaped from the county jail in Natroun through the kitchen and side door. They seized a pistol and jail keys, bound and gagged the deputy, and fled toward the mountains taking ammunition and provisions. A river-and-mountain chase followed with locals and deputies pursuing until nightfall, with guards posted at river bridges and a dawn roundup planned.
