ESCAPED FROM JAIL.

One Of the prisoners confined in the
United States Jail In this city on charge Of
horse stealing. made his escape about nine
O'Clock last night. A short .inle before
that hour the prisoners wanted some fresh
water. and the jailor, James Noonan, went
out and brought q pail full. When he re-.
turned and opened the door to 90 In. one Of
the prisoners, taking advantage of tho dark.
ness. slipped out of the door. On seeing
but one man in the hall the jailer asked
him where the other one was, and was told
that he had gone into his
cell and laid down, as he did
not feel very we'll. Believing this to be
true, the jailor made no further inquiry nor
did he look into the cell for nearly half an
hour, and when he did he found 1t empty.
Upon confronting the other prisoner, and
demanding of him what had become of his
partner, the fellow coolly informed him
that he had given him the e. b. (grand
bounce) addlng-"and you got 5000 for
letting him Co." The jailor Immediately
gave the alarm, and Deputy Marshal Ed.
munds. Deputy Sheriff Eliot and others
started in pursuit, but up to this writing
have not succeeded in obtaining any clue to
the direction taken by the fugitive.
At the time of his escape the prisoner had
heavy shackles riyeted upon him, and un.
less he has accomplices or finds the means
to remove the irons. his fight will neces sar.
lily be slow and he may be retakcn.
Deputy Marshal Edmunds offers reward
of fifty dollars for the capture Of the fugi.
tive.
His name is John w. Morris, and is de.
sesibed as follows: Dark complexion, back
hair, with small bald spot on top of head,
heavy black moustachc, black whiskers OF
about two weeks growth. tattoo-marks ON
both arms; brown woollen shirt, dark gray
pants, and pair of carpet slippers. About
5 feet 10 inches high; weight, $50 pounds !;

CROW CREEK MATTERS.
-rhe Opinion OF Rev. W. II. Burt, !
Missionary.

fhe Opinion OF Rev. W. II. Burt, Indian
Missionary.
We sought an interview last evening with
Rev. w. H. Burt. an Indian missionary,
who is now stationed at Spotted Tail agency,
but who was for three years located at Crow
Creek agency. Knowing that he was in a
position to be entirely familiar with the op-
erations of DR.. Livingston, the burden Of
our talk ran in that channel. Mr.. Burt said
that no man had a better opportunity than
himself to judge as to the truth or falsity Of
the charges against the doctor, as he was for
three years an every day companion in his
missionary capacity, of the Indians at Crow
Greek. He said that when he first went to
that agency he became somewhat preiudiced
against DR.. Livingston, as it seemed to him
that that gentleman was at times unnecessa.
rily severe in enforcing his rules laid down
for the government Of the Indians, but he
had learned by watching events that the
doctors course invariably resulted in the
good of the Indians. He had scrutinized
the doctors operations very closely, because
he had been disposed to criticise him. but
out Of it all he was free to say that no wrong
doing occurred during the three years of his
residence at Grow Creek. Mr.. Burt said
that DIR. Livingston was thoroughly com.
potent Indian agent, and an honest man in
every sense of the word. The proceedings
Of Hammond he deemed wholly uncalled
for, but, he said, time would clear up every.
thing. This is strong evidence in DR.. Liv-
ingston's favor. If any wrong had been
committed against the Indians, Mr.. Burt
would have known it, as clergyman's ear
in the Indian country is made the recepta.
Gle for all the complaints which an Indian
can conjure up, real and imaginary.

them the best and most etfectual purgative
Pill that medical science can devise.
Being purely VIC ,etable no harm can arise

Brother Haskell closed his work in Yank-
ton with lecture last evening upon the
subject Of "Theatres and Circuses.' Hav-
ing had much experience as ring and stage
actor, the information he gave was
fresh and interesting. Brother Haskell has
labored hard for success during his stay in
Yankton and it anything in the nature Of a
failure attended his efforts it has been be-
cause the people did not understand him as
he meant to be understood. His heart is IN
the right place and under favorable circum-
stances he is calculated to do much good.
The cropsso of Dakota have not suffered
from sbinsbf wind, hail. OF rain md are
now being harvested in good condition.
This is more than Minnesota, Iowa or Wis.
consin have enjoyed. Late dispatches from
all over southern Minnesota, show serious
damages by wind, heat and immense rain
fall, and the same is true in Wisconsin and
to some extent in Iowa. The combined
effects of the weather have caused an ad-
vance in prices at the market centers. It
can, indeed, be truly claimsd that with good
farming crops are more sure in Dakota
than farther east or south.
The Deadwood Times of the 18th saws
that Judge Bennett would adjourn his court
on the 18th, and 60 direct to Washington to
"answer additional charges that have been
preferred against him in the department Of
Justice since thooe made in the early part of
june" The Times adds that "the attorney
general left it optional with Judge Bennett
whether he would go to Washington and
answer in person, or if it was not conven-
lent to do SO, then he would be furnished
with an abstract of them, and he could
answer by letter. Judge Bennett has con-
;luded to make the trip to Washington and
confront his accusers face to face"
