Last Saturday, Bill Young went down
to the home of his father-in-lav
Zion Omey, on Mule creek, while the
old gentleman and his boys where in
town, and securing possession of his,
Young's, four year old daughter,
brought her TO town. Mrs. Young has
sued for divorce and in her petition
asks for the custody of the child. Bill
also wants the child and he took the
short way to get possession of it. Mrs.
Young is working at the Grey Eagle
restaurant and Bill boards there and il
was there that he took the child, though
he refused to allow its mother to touch
1t. After dark, Mrs. Young applied to
Judge Ellis for writ of hdbeas corpus
and this being placed in Sheriff Stevens
hands he served 1t and securing possess
sion of the child he delivered it to its
mother, who the next morning, turned
1t over to her father and mother, the
Omeys, and now peace and harmony
reigns.
The residence of Commissioner John
ID. Fleming, north of Deerhead. was
struck by lightning last Saturday night
and the family, Mr.. Fleming, his wife
and daughter and Fred b. Eiklor. of
Aetna, who was there over night, were
severely stunned. The bolt hit the
chimney on the south end, followed it
down and apparently rolled as ball of
fire on the floor when it exploded, fill
ing the room with sulphureous smoke.
The inmates were stunned but a mo-
ment, though Mr.. Fleming complained
Monday of pains in his head. A dog
that was lying near the house and a cat
that was in the door were both killed
by the shock. Messrs. Fleming and
Eiklor were engaged in a warm polit-
ical discussion when the shock occurred
and it is the opinion of those acquaint-
ed with both men that that was the
real cause of the explosion. Anyway,
Eiklor said he would not again get
regular old line democrat awakened SO
thoroughly during thunder storm.

Monday night, 9Th inst. while the
storm was raging the fiercest, two
prisoners escaped from the jail at this
place. Their names are Ed. Payne, the
supposed murderer of Ellis ID. Vroom,
and John Hudson, the horse theft who
escaped from this same Jail year ago.
1t appears that the two prisoners
who escaped were put in the steel cor
ridor connected with the cells and that
Mrs. Payne was also confined in one of
the cells. The corridor door was locked
with an ordinary paddock, the lever
and combination lock never having
been used. The prisoners, in some
manner, got possession of a duplicate
key to the paddock and then it was an
easy manner to reach through the graf
ing and unlock the paddock. This let
the prisoners out in the large corridor
or main ball and to get out of here it
was only necessary to saw off an iron
bar that had been substituted for the
steel bar cut last year by Hudson and
his partner. To cut this bar was an
easy matter, for the prisoners were sup
Piled with good file. Mrs. Payne says
they had the file and key several days
and she gives the name of boy in this
city who. she claims, furnished the file.
Her statement is being carefully sifted
and the indications are that one or more
prosecutions Will follow.
The prisoners were provided with
help from the outside, it is believed.
Mrs. Payne says two men assisted them
and furnished two horses. Two sad
dies, one the property of Dan. Kidd
and the other owned by Knight Camp
bell, were missing yesterday morning.
1t is presumed that the prisoners took
the saddles.
1t is presumed that Payne and Hud-
son stole two horses at this place. one
bay branded p, the property of VIM.
Browder, of this city, and the other
young horse belonging to a Mr.. Sears,
of Sun City, who is here attending the
institute. Both horses were picketed
on the bottom east of town Monday
night and yesterday morning they were
not there.
Under-Sheriff Harry Stevens and
Steve Hitchcock were up most of the
night in the office of the Jail, watching
Billy Wilson, the wounded Kiowa gam
bier who was brought in Monday even
ing. They heard nothing of the prison
ers escaping. The wind was blowing
very hard most of the night, in fact a
regular storm was raging, accompanied
by thunder and lightning. A good
night for an escape.
This is the second delivery from our
nice, new and supposed to- be-safe Jail.
The first was year ago when this same
John Hudson got away. This second
delivery was the more unfortunate.
Hudson is a professional horse thief
and had been re-captured but four
weeks. Ed. Payne is not smart enough
to keep hidden. lie VIII be recaptured in
time for trial at the October term and
he will at least get term in the pen
ltentiary. 1t may take longer to get
Hudson, but he will turn up again.
Then, if he is properly watched he may
be convicted before he again has an op-
portunity to escape.

annoyance, and rendered me very
miserable indeed. l have tried
every method, including wits to
a skin hospital. where was treating
an outdoor patient for three months
and With macy remedies, with,
out being relieved in the slightest.
Seeing one Of your advertisements,
/ began to give the Swiifs Specific
a thorough trial, in hopes it would
benefit my general health, if it did
not cure the skin disease. | CON
tinued its use for four months, and
for several weeks could not no.
tice any improvement, though, |
seemed to feel better in myself.
This was the only encouragement
had, and | continued it, and am
now delighted to inform you that
a short time afterwards the skin
cleared up, the blotches disappear,
ed, and at the time Of this writing
there is no trace whatever. Ihave
not only got rio of the skin affec~
ton, but gained in flesh, and am
altogether pleased with the result.
l shall be very pleased to answer
any letters that may re-

any trouble of similar character
