A ROBBERS DARING ESQ APE.
The Remarkable Break for Liberty Thas
VIVA Made In Denver.

Charles johnson, prisoner in the Gus.
tody Of the Sheriff awaiting trial for grand
larceny, made good bis escape in manner
which shows him to be a desperate of no
ordinary mettle. johnson was in custody Of
Deputy Sheriff Howe, who was bringing him
from the Jail to the grand jury room for
indictment on the charge of grand larceny.
The prisoner was walking along quietly and
giving no sign of any intention of making a
break for liberty, when suddenly he turned
and sprang upon the officer, oyerpowered

handling dealt him by Johnson to gain
his presence of mind in time to take my
steps to secure assistance until the latter had
disappeared around the corner. Johnson
having eluded the officer and armed himself
at the expense of the latter, did not feel like
running any unnecessary risk by sojourning
in Denver longer than necessary. His means
of leaving the city was acquired in q manner
fully equal in lawlessness to his escape from
the officer. Seeing an expressman driving
leisurely along he sprang into the express
wagon and gently touching the nose of the
driver with the muzzle of his revolver he
remarked You get" The expressman
stood not upon the order of his going, but
went at once. Relieved of the driver john

of sight. Some time later the horse and
wagon were found standing in front of the
Brinker Institute, but no trace of johnson
could be found The Sherif's officers spent
the day in bootless search for the escaped
prisoner, and when night closed they were
