ESCAPE OF A CONVICT.
a few moments before the prisoners were
placed in their cells Thursday night, Fred.
Berry, guard in the planning shop at the
| prison, discovered that George Miller, con-
| Wet, was missing; not finding him he imme-
diately reported the fact. 4 search was in
| stituted for Miller, and guards kept on the
| walls all night, but up to the time OF send
ing report he had not Eeen found. AS Mr.
Berry had seen him few moments before
| discovering his absence it was not thought
| possible that he could have got outside the
| wall.
Miller is better and more widely known as
Sid Miller. Under the name of Charles
Mills he was indicted for stealing horses in
Rice county, and on May 81, 1875, was sen
fenced to four years in the penitentiary.
! On March %, 1876, he attempted, in com
| pany with another convict. to scale the north
wall of the prison, but both were shot at by
| the wall guards, Henry Pierce and Ben Gay
| on, and severely wounded. Miller was dis
charged from prison November 5, 1878.
! June IL, 1873, he was convicted Of ho1ss
| stealing in Olmstead county, under the cog
nomen of George Miller, and this timo
received q sentence Of ak
years. Undaunted by the fail
ure of his attempted escape in 1876. he again
made an effort Thursday, but with what
success is yet unknown. It is generally
supposed that he did not escape from inside
OF the wall, but is seoreted somewhere III
