Homer Willis made another unsuccesS-
full attempt to gain his liberty last Satur-
day.
At night Homer is confined in the
front cell on the left hand side of the
Jail as you enter, but during the day he
has been given the liberty of the CORR
dor
The cell in the lower corner on the
the right hand side of the Jail is unoccu-
pied and the door stands open. During
the day when not confined to his own cell
Homer had access to this cell, and it was
in it he made an attempt to escape Sat
dur.
By some means he had secured a case
knife and, breaking it diagonally near the
end, made sharp point on the knife,
which he used in cutting through the
ceiling at the top of the cell. He reach
ed the ceiling by means of hammock
made of blankets that were in the cells.
He cut through the ceiling and in
attempting to move the plank it broke
and fell to the floor, making a noise that
attracted the attention of Jailer Tedder,
who went up and soon discovered the
cause, and placed Homer back in his
cell
Neither Sheriff Christie nor Jailer Ted
der can account for way in which the
young prisoner came in possession of
the knife.
Homer told Sheriff Christie Il at he
was assisted by John Sheffield. None of
the other prisoners had anything to do
with the attempted escape.

Mr. Fricker, of Fricker Bros, the

last Friday for the purpose of securing a

in this city.
Mr.. Fricker was decidedly impressed
with the thrift and prosperity shown on
every hand in growing Dawson, and the
only thing that prevents Fricker Bros.
from opening up large stock of musical
instruments and jewelry in Dawson at
once, is their inability to secure build
ing, there not being a vacant storehouse
in the city.
Mr.. Fricker says his house will GER
tainly enter the field at Dawson, and he

Some of the Alliance cotton raisers in

from the market till the price can be
forced up; and some of the Alliance
wheat raisers in the Northwest want to
withhold their wheat till they can sell it
at their own price. But the wheat rails
ers do not want to pay any more than
the now pay for cotton, and the cotton
raisers do not want to pay over the pres
ent price for wheat. SO it goes all
round. The grocers, taiors and shoe
makers want bigger profits than they
get, and their customers want the goods
at cheaper prices. The house owners
seek to raise the rents and tenants would
like to cut them down. SO it goes all
