Show Officers Alerted To Watch For Ely Escapees The peace officers or Millard county were on the alert during the first of the week in an attempt to re-capture five men who escaped from the Ely jail at 7:30 Sunday morning. The men overpowered the jailer and after locking him up stole a car belonging to the road commission and started tor the Utah line. The jailer spread the alarm about one-half hour after the escape and posses were organized organ-ized consisting of men in cars, horsemen and even airplanes who took up the search. The jail breakers made their way to Callao and it was thought that the officers had them "bottled up" there, but the stolen car was found abandoned in Stockton and a new car stolen which was later abandoned aband-oned in Salt Lake City. The latest word the officers have eceived is that the men are still at large and the trail seems to have ended in Salt Lake City. |
