A CHAMPION JAIL BREAKER
Deputy. Bowler and Jailor
Russell's Capture.
A Bad Man from Texas and His
Adventures.
Escape j. II. Bennett Captured In This
City-some of His Adventures in
Escaping from Custody-He
VIII be Taken Back.

Deputy Sheriff Bowler and Jailor Rus
sell have made an exceedingly clever
capture OF much-wanted man from
Texas.
They made the catch at 2 O'Clock
Monday afternoon in front of the Natick
house, on First street, and the individ-
ual is j. HI. Bennett, cowboy who
travels under the aliases of ]. H. Har-
ris and J. H. Eskell. Bennett is man
with record, and just at present he is
badly wanted by Sheriff White OF
Robertson county, Texas. Some time ago
that official notified Sheriff Gibson that
he had reason to believe that Bennett
was in Southern California and sent a
description of him here. Sheriff Glib
son detailed Deputies Bowler and Rus
sell on the case and they spotted their
man on the Fourth, and Sheriff White
is now on his way from Texas to take
Bennett back there to serve long term
in the penitentiary for literally chopping
a cowboy enemy to pieces.
Some years ago Bennett was arrested,
charged with killing cattleman named
Johnson, in Franklin, Texas. He was
convicted and sent to the Texas peni-
tentiary for life, and after serving for
several years he was pardoned out by
the governor on account of his extreme
youth. Bennett returned to the town of
Franklin, and one night got into fight
with cowboy, during which he cut the
latter in score of places. He was ar
rested, and while on his way to prison
he made his escape and went to Hot
Springs, Ark. Sheriff White learned
that he was there and went for him.
Bennett was loaded down with shackles
and handouts. but while the attention
of the sheriff was momentarily dis
tracted, Bennett made dash for the
door and jumped off the train, al
though it was running fifty miles
an hour. The officers had
another long search for him, and finally
corraled him in an obscure town in
Texas. He was then taken to Franklin,
tried and convicted for a four years
term in the penitentiary. On the
night after Bennett was sentenced he
broke out of the county Jail, and all
trace of him was lost until he was cap
tured by Deputies Bowler and Russell
here. At first Bennett denied every
thing, but yesterday he admitted that
he was the man wanted in Texas. He
has been working on the Newhall ranch
for some time past, baling hay. Bowler
yesterday got hold of letters signed by
j. Harris, who is said to be Benefits
brother, and in these repeatedly eau
toned Bennett not to have his photo
graph taken, and to LAY low," else he
would be captured. Sheriff White has
notified Sheriff Gibson to take all possi-
BILE precautions with Bennett, as he is
dangerous man, and the champion jail
breaker in Texas.

An extraordinary story comes from

of chest containing quantity of iron
work and roll of parchment giving a
description of what must have been a
steam engine, devised long before the
time of Papin or Huyghens. 1t is stated
that the iron work forms rudimentary

other parts of which had been taken to
pieces, but are wonderfully fashioned,
considering their antiquity. Each piece
bears the inscription, "Suger parens
