kicked him in the breast. Smith had pick
ed up rock and struck the jailer in the
head as before stated, and then both ran.
During the struggle the other prisoners
had all gotten out and away. The jailer
scrambled to his feet as soon as possible
and pursued Smith, firing his pistol as he
ran, and caught up with the fugitive near
Eleventh and Walnut streets. Here an
other struggle easued, during which the
jailer struck Smith over the head with his
pistol several times, but without any APP
parent effect. A crowd of men and boys
stood on the sidewalk looking on, but none
OF them had courage enough TO interfere in
the jailer's behalf. Smith finally succeeded
in shaking the jailer off and ran away.
One OF the prisoners, an Italian named
Ross, who went out of his way to assist
Smith in getting away by kicking the jailer,
and who suggested murder, has returned
10 the jail voluntarily and given himself
up. Smith is known as avery bad charac-
ter, who would be guilty of almost any
crime if opportunity and prof were offered
1t is believed to be only a question Of a
little time when the fellows will be re-
captured and, when recaptured, the lead
ers in the outrage should be given the laws

The discovery Of the stolen eggs and
butter in the house Of the negro Lee Smith
was fine piece of detective work by
Chief Myers. There was not a sign to be
seen by which the property could have been
traced, and yet it was concealed not square
away from the place where it originally
stood. Its discovery was due entirely to
the natural sharpness OF good Judge of
human nature. The chief suspected that
the thief lived somewhere in the neighbor-
hood and he wandered around there for a
while, keeping his eye upon everybody and
everything. 1t did not take him long to
discover that he was being watched him
self by the fellow Lee Smith; wherever the
chief went or whichever way he turned the
Negroes eyes seemed to follow him. This
was enough the chief made up
his mind, and by bold accusa-
ton of one of Smiths neighbors, got him
to confess that he knew where the stolen
property was and that Smith was the thief.
Smith had been spotted before, but now
the net was drawn around him. Officers
Olmsted and Mahanny and the chief watch
ed Smiths movements and closed in on him
in one of the little dens on the leyee above
Twelfth street, just as he was about to bar
ter off some of the stolen property. Hav-
ing taken Smith to Jail the chief and Off
GERS, accompanied by the mayor, hurried
back to the fellows house and were Just in
time to see the Negroes woman coming out
with sack concealed under her cloak, con-
tanning some butter and eggs. Entering
the house, they found eggs and butter in
trunks and mysterious boxes and other ves-
sells, of all of which they took possession
Some of the eggs bear the names and adj
dresses of the shippers, which was positive
proof that they were those stolen from Mr.
Alden. Mr.. Alden got back most of his
property yesterday.

The fight between Jailer Martin and
the prisoners Monday night was even more
serious than was at first reported. The
facts rs learned from the jailer himself are
az follows. A negro woman brought the
necessary authority for the release Of a
young boy. The jailer opened the door
and stood near it, calling for the boy to
come out. 1t is the jailer's custom to not
enter the Jail alone when there are num-
Der Of prisoners confined in it, for the
place is all one dark room, in which all the
prisoners are confined together, and to en-
ter 1t would not be safe when two or
more desperate characters are confined in
it. As the jailer stood at the door waiting
for the boy to come out, Lee Smith, the
negro, arrested on Saturday upon suspicion
of being guilty of the theft Of Mr.. W. L.
Alden's provisions, suddenly rushed out of
the door and aiming blow at the jailer,
which was warded oil, he made Tor the
gate. AS is also his custom the jailor had
closed and bolted the gate, and Smith
could not open it before the jailer was upon
him. A struggle ensued, during which
the gate was burst open; Smith made fran
tic efforts to free himself, but the jailer
held onto him until they reached reck
pile near the Jail. Here the struggle was
continued and the jailcr wasabout toget the
better Of his antagonist when another pris-
oner, an italian, rushed up and attempted
to deprive the jaiIer Of his pistol which he
was in the act OF drawing. But failing in
this, he cried. Lets kill the 49, - go, and
