Captain W. E. Blizzard, living at AIS
Taylor street, against whom there have been
several charges preferred for his cruelty to
his family, was arraigRed before the Mayor

duct, assault and battery and using threat

About half dozen witnesses-his neigb-
bors, testified to his conduct and brutality
and also to the fact that it was to them a
common occurrence to hear his wife scream
murder and run to the neighbors' house for
protection. Yesterday he went to his home
in an intoxicated condition and began abus-
ing his wife, who held in her arms a small
babe, six mouths old. Not contented with
striking his wife in the face with his fist he
took the child and began il-using IL, when
the wife was heard to scream "For God sake
some one save my child"
His daughter, lilly Blizzard, aged 16, tes-
titled that he had frequently struck her
across the head, and that he compelled her
to go to saloons aud purchase whislley for
him. And also that she had been driven
from the house about two weeks
ago and had TO soeE safety with her
grandparents. Austin Harrington, who
was present at The hearings, \
stated that lie had been called upon hy rnsi
cIsious, and thai Blizzud when called uaon
had also promised to reform, and for that
reason had never been pro=ecalcd. Shouli

Vickers, crazy drunk. The woman was
brought to the hall where it was found that
she had either fallen or bad been beaten in

A very large cut on the top
of the lead exposed the bone,
while her left jaw bone was broken
and bruised, besides having innumerable
bruises and bumps upon her body. Her

learned from the woman, who was SO full Of
whiskey that she was perfectly crazy and
raved and tore about the cell al night, and
was in such condition thi, morning that
the Mayor had her conveyed to the Aims
house for repairs.

Burns pitched well, however, and was better

two of the three runs which they made In

Farrell on the other we're the only ones to
bat with any freedom, and they hit safe

Rastrre dali Rlrss.

Seven of the prisoners confined in
the county Jail made an Intellectual
attempt to escape this week. They
occupied the first floor cell next TO
the river, and wrenched an iron
hook from the wall which had been
placed there to hang buckets on.
This they broke in two pieces and,
by some means unknown, beat one
piece to sharp edge, like chisel,
with which they cut bolt that fas-
tened the inner door Of the cell,
using the other piece as hammer.
The bolt had a flaw in it and was
more easily broken on that occount.
This bolt being cut, long iron bar
was loosened, which they used with
telling effect against the outer door.
Sheriff Harris made the discovery
Wednesday at noon, and at once
had the prisoners removed to an
other cell. His atteation was first
arrested by the broken white-wash
on the outer door, and closer in
vestigation revealed the damage
that had been done. When the
prisoners quit work, they placed
everything in its original position
so nicely that a casual observance
could not detect that anything was
wrong. They had made some
progress towards opening the outer
door and would doubtless have
made good their escape Thursday
night but for the timely detection
of the sheriff.
