Lisbon — An attempt of prisoners in the Ransom county jail to saw their way to liberty was thwarted, as the result of Janitor Church, who heard a rasping sound and investigated and found that one of the prisoners had cut through the grating at the bottom of one of the jail windows with hack saw blades believed to have been passed into him by pals on the outside. The prisoner has been placed in solitary confinement.
