pepev captnrsa.

Lem. Depew, who burned the Gala
bose, was captured near Anthony last
Tuesday afternoon, and was brought
here Wednesday by Sheriff Nelson.
His capture was amusing Last week
he stOlefrom Tom. Shumate, near
Lodi. two hound pups that he. Depew,
had formerly owned. When this was
learned, the sheriff knew that his cap-
ture was but matter of time. Mon
day, Sheriff Nelson was in HaZelton, on
other business, and learned that a man,
with a gun, and followed By two dogs,
had passed through there the evening
before. The sheriff at once started on
the trail, and followed it to within
three miles of Anthony, when he lost
it. Going into town he secured the SER
vices of the sheriff and two butchers.
and returned to where he had last
heard of Depew. The butchers went
through corntield and soon came up
on Depew, eating melons, and at once
made friends with him, by praising his
dogs. They even suggested that the
dogs should be fed. and told of
slaughter house near by their own
where meat could be stolen. That
suited Depew, for he has a weakness
for stealing beet, and going 10 the
place, he was soon engaged in cutting
off the richest and juc:est steaks for
his pups. lie was then induced to 90
into town, riding behind one of the
men, the other carrying his gun. When
in town, he was turned over to the
marshal and put in the calaboose.
Sheriff Nelson appeared soon after
ward, and secured his man, and
brought him here the next day. De-
pew is a regular 'chump,n as his every
| act would indicate. He first killed a
steer and claimed it was in self-de-
Tense when the steer was chasing him.
For this offenSe he was under bond to
appear at district court. While out on
bond he committed his second Offense,
this time killing a calf for the same
parties, Hubbell & Co., and after tax
ing the headquarters, he hid the car
casS under light coating of dirt, where
it was discovered few days afterward
He was again arrested and confined in
the calaboose here, and in getting out,
he burned the building down. Then,
instead of leaving the country, he went
direct to his old haunts, and was seen
by several persons. Then he stole the
hound pups and this led to his detec-
ton. He ought to be given a long
term in prison for his stupidity, in ad-
dition to punishment tor other crimes.

They All Escaped.


When we wrote the article about Lem
Depew's capture, in this issue, we did
not suppose we would be called on to
report his escape so soon, but here 1t is:
Last night the three prisoners under
guard at Under Sheriff Lindsey's house,
they being Lem Depew, charged with
cattle-killing, jail-breaking and arson;
Bill Seeley, charged with aiding and
abetting a prisoner to escape, and Jim
Montgomery, charged with hOrse-steal-
ing, in Chautauqua county, all walked
away from their guardsman, shorty
GATHERINGS, while lie was sound asleep
The prisoners were all handcuffed or
shackled together, when they left, some
time between midnight and 4 o'clock,
and the supposition now is that they
are hiding in some of the cornlields
near town, or IN the creek or river bot
toms. A large force started out early
this morning to look for them, and had
not returned when we went TO press at
about noon. The tracks of the men
were discovered crossing Spring creek
at the foot of First avenue, all close to-
gether, showing that they were yet
shackled when they lett the town.
We should think the sheriff would be
getting tired of this foollshness, and
would hire some one to take care of his
prisoners who would hold them. Two
escapes in two days looks like pure care
lessness. lie can better afford to pay
for competent guards than to let such
men as Depew and Seeley escape, after
all the trouble he has had with their
capture. We believe the county COM
missioners will allow any reasonable
guard bill that the sheriff may incur.
