About l o'clock yesterday afternoon, while
the Changing was at work in the vicinity of
Mexican named De Soto, found an oppor-
tunity to run off, which he improved, not
withstanding the fact that he was encum-
bered with somewhat heavy leg ornament
IN the shape of a chain. Special officer
Nielsen who was in charge Of the gang
rushed TO the Capital Brewery delivery
wagon, which was standing near, and
climbing upon the seat, tried 10 induce the
driver to push on after the fugitive. This
he declined to do, saying he had his beer
to deliver etc. But the officer insisted that
it was the drivers duty to whip up his
horses and pursue the fugitive, and pro-
ceeded 10 quote the law on the subject.
But the yender of malt Juice was inexor-
able, and when finally the officer found he
had to continue the pursuit on foot The
late member of the chaingang had got out
Of sight. He had not been heard from II
last accounts.

cattle raising and dairying. For many
years past he had owned a large stock
range within a few miles Of Weber Lake

paniOn, an upright citizen, tender hus-
band and father, and his sudden and I'M
timely murder by a worthless rascal has
cast gloom over the community in which

the same that be Is here is evidenced from,
The following extract taken from an inSpec-

button-hole bouquet, knows that the COM
pliment is deserved.
