COMING ATTRACTIONS.

Among the contributors to the fun and
excitement Of ''The Police Patrol'' are two
famous white horses. When they first
4prang into prominence they wore con-
hccted with the Chicago police department.,
drawing the patrol wagon Tor the Des-
PLANES street station. On that fatal day
in May when anarchy sought to rule the
world, they, with the assistance Of q few
brave men. we're instrumental in saving tho
lives OF some eight officers. When that
crowd Of excited and half-crazed foreigners
gathered at Haymarkst square and Haunted
their flag of red, 4 detachment of police
was sent from one of the stations to guard
the unru.y mob, and in oase of necessity
compel peace. The blue coats found them
solves completely hemmed in by . sureinR
mob, to whom the sight of a polioeman's
star was like a rel bsndana swung in the
face of an enraged bull. Some kind friends
on the outside, seeing tho plight of the
few policemen, rang in ar alarm for the
patrol, which sounded in the station where
..Jim and Frank'' were doing service. The
pluoky animals fought their way through
by biting and paving, until the brave men
were picked: up and carried to a point of
safety. It was from the action of the
horses ct this time and at the Mccormick
reaper works a little later. that these two
intelligent animals gained the title-Ihe
White Patrol.

IS RELEASED FROM JAIL.
John Bryant Obtains His Liberty
by o Writ OF Habeas
Corpus.
"A St Paul Officer Says He Is Not
the Man Wanted for
Murder.
Anna Mulier's Case Against suliy J3uyGk
Ii Affirmed by tho state Supreme
Court.

John Bryant, tho colorod barber who was
arrested July 3 by City Marshal Calvin as
being the man wanted in 81. Paul for muir
der. WAS released yesterday. His attorney.
II. Il. Purcell, had Bryant brought before
Judge Hunt. OF the district court, or a writ
of habess corpus. Tho petition for the
writ says Bryant was arrested and confined
in the city Jail without complaint, chara-
ing him with any crime. or my warrant.
and that no charge had been made against
him up to the time he applied for the writ.
City Marshal Calvin was present with his
prisoner yesterday afternoon. Judge Hunt
asked the marshal by what authority he
was holding Bryant. He replied that he
had a letter from the authorities at st. Paul.
Judge Hunt did not consider that this wal
sufficient and ordered the discharge Of
Bryant.
After this order from Judge Hunt, Officer
Brown, Of st. Paul, arrived in Helena, and
was given q glance at Bryant. He said the
man looked very much like Pickens, thu
st. Paul murderer. but it was not he
Bryant was given back all his papers, taker
from him Mt the time of his arrest. and hi
satchel of clothing, in which, among otheI
things. was q revolver. Mayor Curtin wal
present at the time, and Bryant asked per.
mission to carry a pistol, as lie said he had
letters to prove his life was in danger. HI
did not produce the letters, but was giver
the desired permission. Bryant was very
nervous yesterday and before being taker
to court had q fit in his cell. Among thu
papers he had when arrested was . draft OF
New York for $500. He has also $500 OF
deposit in the First National bank. Fo'
the present Bryant has given up his intsn.
sion Of going east.
The murder for which he was arrested OF
suspicion occurred in the metropolitan
hotel at ST. Paul last March. John Smith
the murdered man, and Dennis Picken'
were walters in the hotel and quarreled on
morning in the kitchen. Pickens drew
razor and cut Smiths throat from ear t,
ear. Pickens escaped.

Rodgers was ar, ested by Policeman Van
asse on Friday night. the charge being
burglary in entering the rooms Of Louis
block and stealing two suits of clothes.
Davis had been arrested some time before
and was serving out a fine imposed for va
grancy. Men charged with otfenses like
that of Davis are not locked up in .he cage
usually, being left ON the outside, where
will and sleep on cots on top the cage.
When O man is accused of a serious otfense,
such as that laid to Rodgers, he is not only
kept in the cage, but 10 locked in one OF the
cells as we'll. This. by some oversight, was
not done when Tailor Purcell locked up

part of the night he chose to remxin. II 10
thought that some time during the day a
friend on the outside may have passed him
a fine steel Jaw; or it is possible he may
have had one 40 we'll concealed that the po-
him after his arrest. As soon as ni0ht
came Rodgers no doubt stepped from the
top of the Gage on to the water pipe leading
to the " all. In covering the distance from
the cage to the wall he very likely had the
aid of a helping hand from Davis. Reach

and affordinR him . good hand hold while
he placed his feet on the window sill and
with his other hand sawed through the
bars. This part of the work wss lone al
quickly and as quietly as possible. Two
bars were sawed in half about the center of
the window, and inst half way up. The
allow the passage of u mans body.
The heavy wire netting outside
was an easy matter. 1t is secured by bolts
to the window frame. These bolts were
sawed through and the netting pushed out.
Rodgers and Davis then passed ont through
the opening and into the now vacant dog
pound. The door of this building is Kept
by breaking it open, tho two men forced
open tho small window of the pound and
were ut liberty.
Why the other prisoners who were in the
chamber did not take advantage of the
opportunity il only explained by tho sup
position that nons Of those in = position to
do 30 had serious enough charges hanging
over them to make it worth taking tho risk
of boing caught. Those who would have

SAWED THROUGH BARS.
Escape Of Two Prisoners From the
City Jail During the
Night
Ono Was In for Burglary and
tho Other Was q
Tramp.
They Sawed Their Way Out and LoN
tho Place By Way Of the Dog
Pound.

When Tailor Purcell opened the big iron
doors Of the CITY prison ysatsrday morning
TO lot out the .'chain gang for the work.
he remarked to Ovsrseer Billy Sears:
You're . man short. Guess you
didn't bring Joe Davis back with
you Saturday" "Oh. yes, | brought
In everybody took out" replied
Sears. Thinking Davis might be concealed
somewhere about the cells, . search was
made. Davis was not in the prison; neither
was J. +. Rodgers. who had been awaiting
q preliminary examination on the charge OF
burglary. But away up o. the south wall
Of the prison. near the Clore street end, an
open window and two severed and bent
bars showed TINT the city was lucky to
have anybody left in the jail at all.
When the CITY Jail Was fixed mp during
the last administration it was thought to
be absolutely proof against escapes. A
heavy iron barred door opens inward from
the police quarters. and a solid iron door
opens outward. Both are secured by heavy
locks. Even il a prisoner were able to pick
or cut the lock Of the inner door, he would
still have the outer door 70 open. The
windows were placed high mp in the rear
walls overlooking Clore street, and ons
more 10 on the south wall near the rear.
and opens out into the wooden structure
built for a dog pound. Horizontal bars
protect these Windows on the inside, and
to prevent the prisoners friends passing
things to them, there il a heavy
wire netting on the outside. The steel
cages, in which are the cells. is located
AZ far away from the walls rs possible on
oil sizes, and out of reach Of tho windows-
all but one. That il the one that opens in
to the dog pound ON the south side. Thu
achitect who designed the interior of the
prison made one bad mistake. In the
southwest corner of the room. high Up, the
water pipe enters. 1t is two inches in
diameter. After running down some dis.
tance in the angle of the wall. it turns OF
and runs along the south wall. directly be-
meath the window opening into the dog
pound, until it reaches a point opposite the
end of the age. There it again turns and
runs across to tho cage. For . sure-footed
man it ia no trick at all to walk across on
this pipe from the cage to the wall. The
pipe stands out from the wall just far
enough to afford a good footing, and to en-
able a nan to get unde the window ON the
south side, from which point it is easy to
reach the sill. The following diagram
shows The arrangement of tho Jail chamber,
the steel cage and the iron water pipe &c
conveniently arranged for the escape OF
prisoners: 49,.
