of Hon. r. NJ. LaFollette's denomination

WALKED AWAY.
A Trusty Prisoner at White Sulphur
Springs Escapes.

Trusty Prisoner at White Sulphur
Springs Escapes.
1t is said that about every important
prisoner who has1Deen confined in the
county Jail an lite Sulphur Springs has
made his escape. Before the erection of
the present 81 1bstantial Jail there, with its
Pauley steel cells, it was not difficult
matter for desperate criminal determined
on making break for liberty. to force his
way out of the old Jail. Samuel WEIGH has
added to the list of those who have sue
ceeded in getting away. This he did on
last Wednesday, morning and the latest
advices from the Springs last night were
that he had not been captured. He was
in confinement, bound over to the grand
jury on charge of shooting with the at
tempt to Jill a sheep man known as the
Big MEXICAN. The affair occurred last
spring OF. the Musselshell, near Lavina.
Welch was the foreman of William Ford's
sheep ranch and the Mexican was under his
direction. 1t is said that WEIGH was intox-
icated 1t the time of the shooting.
The Mexican wanted to leave the ranch
for uttle while and asked Welch's per-
missie to go. The latter refused and the
Mexisan mounted his horse, determined to
leave at any rate. This enraged Welch
whospicked up Winchester and told him
that he shouldn't go; if he did he would
head him off. which he did by planting a
ball in the Mexican's body. After the
sho oting WEIGH came to Helena, remaining
hela for three or four days, and then made
a eisurely trip to Salt Lake, where he re-
MANNED for short time. While he was
taking his pleasure trip the authorities
seemingly did not take very active measures
to effect his capture. 1t was not until about
three weeks after the shooting that the
officers got WEIGH into their clutches, when
they ran across him at Big Timber. on the
Yellowstone. From there he was taken to
White Sulphur Springs. where he was
bound over to await the action of the grand
jury.
No one would go on his bond although he
has been in the country since 1866.
He is man of about 45 years of
age, and is quite gray. Charles
L. Raider, the sheriff of Meagher, appears
to have placed considerable confidence in
his prisoner and allowed him the liberty of
the Jail and yard. The result was that as
ststoa above WEIGH quietly walked off
Wednesday morning, his disappearance not
being discovered until about four hours
after. The big Mexican has been in the
hospital since tho shooting, until last week,
when he had recovered sufficiently to GO
about his business.
