Notes.

Officer Bob Ingalls, had a dougbnut
attached to a fish hook last night when
he went browsing around in search of
Charley Miller. He knew Miller's weak
mesa and was in this manner endeavoring
to impose upon the trusting confidence OF
that innocent youth.
Now if Deputy Sheriff Griffith would
only have another dream showing him ex-
actlv where to find the escaped prisoners
he would make a very GOOD all around Job
of it.
Sheriff Kelley is in Omaha but has
been t~elegrfbhed for.
Sam Segasser took advantage of the
commotion at the Jail to steal down to
Germania hall last evening. There he
quickly put himself outside of a schooner
of beer and then sneaked back to his
quarters quite overjoyed at his own
shrewdness.
The only whiskers in it this time was a
three weeks growth on the expressive
mug OF Col. VIM. KinRen.

Charley Miller.

The crime for which Miller was in Jail
was the murder of two St. Joe, Mo-, boys.
He was sentenced to be hanged by the
district court, an appeal was taken to the
supreme court, and that tribunal prom
;sed to deliver an opinion on the case next
February. His escape last September
with Parkison will be we'll remembered.

At $40 o'clock last evening Deputy
Sheriff Harry Griffith went into the Jail
for the purpose OF removing the supper
dishes from the prisoners. 1t is the usual
custom to remove these things at a
quarter before s every evening but Deputy
Sheriff Wilkes. who usually assists at
this ceremony. was delayed elsewhere so
long past this hour that Griffith concluded
to dispose of the task himself. He there
fore entered the Jail and passing to the
door which opens into the corridor upon
which all the cell doors on the lower tier
face. he unlocked it and called TO Parker,
a United States prisoner who Is charged
Nth having given whisky TO some In
dams at the Shushone agency. Parker
is one of the jail trustee and has been
utilized in doing chores about the place.
This man was sent by Griffith to collect
the p,atters and cups from the various
cells, the deputy sheriff remaining in the
meantime at the door leading into the
big cage which e~ncloses the cells. Parker
soon returned with an arm load of dishes
when William Kingen suddenly followed
him and made a rusb mast him for Grit
fifth. The latter noticed him about the
same Instant. He vas unarmed but had
In his hand one Of the heavy jail locks.
This he threw with all his force at Kingen
but it unfortunately missed that indi-
vidual and struck the trusty with such
violence that be was not in a condition for
sometime thereafter to accurately guage
what was going on.
Kingen at once ~grappled with Griffith.
The cattle thief is a 1.-the, athletic and
muscular man, quick as a cat in his move
ments. Griffith is a young man, slim Of
build and iu nowise a match ip physical
strength for kipgen. A lively tussle
cnsued during which Griffith succeeded in
wren,hing himself loose and rushed at the
top of his speed to the further end of the
Jail where a door leads out into the court
house hallway. Gluing his mouth to the
somewhat famous peephole which adorns
that door he yelled at the top of his voice
for help. Unfortunately it was a time of
the evening when very few people are
about the court house and.,pone hap

instant, as he always is when any d~eviItry
