Daring Attempt to Escape.

Daring Attempt to Escape.
Special to the Cumberland News.
SOMERSET. PA. Sept. 16. $780,
At twelve o'clock to-day, as Deputy
Sheriff McMillen opened the Jail door
to let the day Waterman In with
water, the Nicely brothers made
rush for him saying. "throw up your
hands. which he promptly did. At
the same time Leight and "Shorty"
covered the day Waterman with re.
volyers. Joe Nicely shot the deputy
In two places In the left side, one
a dangerous wound. The Nicely's
then ran out of the jail, the deputy
running to the front door with a re.
peating rifle and handing it to man
telling him to follow. He was then
taken to bed in an adjoining room.
When the Nicelys ran out of the Jail
yard they were swinging revolvers
over their heads. They ran through
the alley to the Hay woods. east of
town.
The alarm was given and soon the
entire male population of Somerset
was out armed with rifles. shotguns
and revolvers, all running to the
woods in less than an hour. Dave
Nicely was found up tree with a
revolver in his hand. A young man
ordered to throw up his hands and
let his pistol fall and come down,
which he quietly did and was taken
back 10 Jail with bowling crowd of
several hundred. A rope was ready
but cooler heads prevented a lynch
ing. and he was landed safely in Jail.
The crowd then went back to Hay
woods and deployed as skirmishers.
and after going through the woods
two or three times found Nicely hid
ing under small bush.
At his capture at least five hun.
dred shots were fired into the air,
and he was landed safely in Jail. The
excitement was terrible and men and
women cried chang them." "shoot
them" etc. Six reyolvers were hand.
ed into the Jail by parties unknown,
two having been found after the
Nicely boys were put back. The
boys are now handcuffed and placed
in separate cells. Hopes are enter
tanned that Deputy McMilIen will
recover.
There were two shots fired at the
deputy. One ball passed through the
body and was found in the hall. The
other ball lodged somewhere in tile
chest. The balls entered the left side
under the heart within half inch of
each other. The weapons were of SO
calibre, new and of improved latest
make, hamerless Smith & Wesson
pattern. self acting.
Leight and "Shorty" are prisoners
held in Jail for robbing the store of
Ash & McEfish, at lockwood, Pa.
The father of the Nicely boys was
in town when the escape was made.
Apparently 1t had been we'll planned
and was admirably carried out with
in the Jail. The deputy had opened
the door to allow man to enter the
corridor with a bucket of water and
in so doing he turned his back. At
this instant Dave Nicely jumped on
the deputy's back and Joe fired the
revolver with effect. The escape to
the woods was made but the boys
became exhausted and were easily
captured.

A farmer may be hired by the

Those who work by the day receive
from eight to ten cents, with noon

Best Horses to Raise.

Whatever may be said ofthe mar
ket east for scrub horses there is no
doubt that there is demand, both
at home and abroad, for heavy
draught horses. There is more than
double-yes, more than treble-the
common horses in use than there
are good ones, and more than dou-
BILE bought and sold every day.
Still, if we count the difference in
the price of a pair of common horses
and a good draught team we will
find that the latter is in demand at
a figure much above the difference
in the cost of production. Outside
of the original investment in good
mares and a heavy stallion of high
standing, the cost of production is
not SO very much larger than the
cost of the common scrub. Large
horses, of course, eat a little more
than small ones, and require little
care, but they are generally kind,
easily broken and don't know any
thing but to pull, and with the ex-
ception of the fleet roadster and the
well mated carriage horse is the
most saleable animal produced.
Then the great beauty of the draft
horse is in the fact that, like beef
steer, he almost sells by weight.
There is at least but little training
necessary to fit him for service, and
where man has but little idea of
how to handle or train horse, he
can do but little better than to grow
the heavy class.-Ex.
