Jail Delivery: Four Escaped From County Jail
Sheriff Hays toured the jail and discovered four United States prisoners missing from the west wing. A two foot square hole led to the cellar and an outer door to freedom.

Guards pursue clues as townsfolk react to the breakout and possible cross-territory flight.
