"It's awful" growled member OF

Cutting Out Of the Police Station.

Time and again the warning has been reite-
rated in these columns concerning the danger
OF housing tramps on the cell-room floor of the
police station. 1t has been stated, over and
over, that these tramps if any of their broth
erhood, or any criminal they chose to help in
escaping, were locked up in the cells, could SO
connive at and assist the prisoners that a gen
eral Jail delivery was at all times imminent,
Thursday evening witnessed Q practical at
tempt of this nature. Thomas O'Brieu. COM
Hitted yesterday for larceny, was locked up on
the evening before. Before being placed in q
cell, he was searched, and every thing that
would aid his escape was taken from him.
The cells are insecure at the best, being only
protected overhead by wooden bars, stretching
across lengthwise above. During the night
some one of the vagrants passed in knife to
OBrien, who proceeded Herewith to hew his
way to liberty by cutting two adjacent bars,
through which he hoped to squirm to compare
tive liberty on the cell room floor, and escape
altogether when the tlamps were dismissed in
the morning. If O'Brien had been deep
male+actoc, it would have been all the same.

when encountered by the detective, who, at
their request, was proceeding to show
them where they might obtain
cheap lodgings when they
suddenly bolted, and used insulting language.
OF course they were then bagged, and afforded
lodgings as cheap as any miser could wish.
They were given thirty minutes in which to
leave the city.
Thomas O. O'Brien, whose arrest on the previous
evening has been noted by the GLOBE, pleaded
guilty to the larceny of coat and pair of

leck was brought to the Cottage hospital YES
terday cut and mangled in a
trightful manner. The explanation
of the cause Of the injuries may be briefly
stated as follows: James Macomber and Manly
Halleck are partners in business under the
firm name of Macomber & Halleck. They made
some trade in the city day before yesterday, and
afterwards went to Green's saloon, about two
and half miles. out of town
on the Cedar Lake road, there they became in
toxlcated and had quarrel over the trade. a
frightful fight ensued, and both parties were
roughly used. Halleck was cnt in frightful
manner. and is now in dangerous condition.
Macomber visited his partner in the hospital
yesterday, and seemed quite melancholy over
the result of the fracas. Yesterday he threat
ened to drown himself, but up to a late hour
last evening no traces of his having executed
his threat could he found.
