COMMITTEE.
GERMAN ESCAPES.

Last Friday night the county jail at
this place was broken open and Harvey
German, who was confined therein on
a charge of attempted murder was re-
leased and is now a fugative from just
ice. The work was certainly we'll
planned, and more than the work of
one man, as the following will show.
The entrance was made by the way
of the outside door by means of crow
bars, coal-chissels &c. Two of
the strong locks were broken and the
third, large steel one, would not yield
to the pressure brought to bear, so the
large staple which confined the lock to
the door, was drawn from its socket.
This staple was one known as 8 self
clincher, and was drove into the hard
wood at least ten inches. and was con-
sidered impossible to remove. Thus
breaking through the Inside door q,
another obstacle met the view of the in
trudars-Sheriff Woods, always sure of
doing his duty and keeping his prisoner
as sale as the jail would admit, had
been combining hlm in the cell of nights.
But they were not to be outdone by this,
so the tools were again brought into use
and three of the bars in the cell window
were removed This being suffient
space to admit German body to pass
through and thus securing the object of
their criminal work.
This was bold act by the parties
who supposed they were unknown, but
we are reliably informed they are known
and will be arrested in short time for
this midnight deed, and one of them at
least does not live far from this place.
German left letter lay wing on a chair
in the jail, directed to Sheriff Woods,
in which he stated that he had hoped
to secure bonds and thus be released
but failing in this he could never enter
tain the idea of staying there utill the
Setember term of Court and he ''Only
had to give the signal and was out.''
The present jail of Phillips County is
insufficient to hold criminals of any char.
acter when men are found who are suck
| experts as those OF last Friday night
and we hope our County Commissioners
will profit by these past cases of assited
emigration and provide safer and better
quarters for our criminals.

! Atkinson, April Is.-The hus-
band OF a runaway wife has been
looking tor his faithless spouse in
this city since Yesterday. He lived
on rented farm near Adrian. Mo-.
and after much persuasion on the
part OF his wife was induced to sell
his gram and effects-all but a wag-
on and team-and move to Oregon.
\ firm hand named John Vaughan
had been employed on the place for
the past five months, between whom
and Mrs. ohn Horner there sprang
up clandestIne intimacy. AT mid
night on Friday she arose from the
bedside OF her husband and leaving
| a 3-months-old baby and three other
children, walked Il distance of two
miles and half alone through a
dense forest. and took the train for
Kansas City, thence to Atcnison.
On the cover of the wagon they were
going overland in to the northwest
she pinned note which stated that
she was tired living with a brute and
having no more use for him took the
opportunity long sought to free her
self. As to the children you can do
with them as you please, tor | adj
wise you to knock them in the heads,

never live with you again. Vaughn
dId not follow at once, but seemed
to sympathize with Mr.. Horner and
offered to aid in finding her. Both
started for Kansas City where Hor-
ner sold his team for $50, he having
no money as his wife had taken $40
which he entrusted to her. He
gave Vaughan S5 to aid in the search
who deserted his benetactor and
came to Atchison where he met the
woman, taking her to I.ambcrt's
boarding house. the two passing as
man and wife. The husband fol-
lowed and traced them up arriving
one hour too late. as the fleeing pair
had departed for Omaha. The

shot through the arm one night last
week while in bed at the stable. He
and one George PIgg, (colored)
had some difficulty previously,
and Pigg sought his revenge by
sneaking TO the stable window and
firing upon his antagonist while all
was quiet and hushed. At least he
was arrested for SO dong Immediate
ly. The ball, however, did not have
Its desiled effect, lodging in his arm.
DR.. Walls extracted the hall, which
caused merely flesh wound. PIgg
was arraigned before Justice of the

a special train was made up of men
from the offices who had been ad

Acknowledgement and a rev friends

The Governor proffered his fare,

who informed the Governor that the
train was sent especially for HIM.

he would pay his wav. His services
