IF THE tales told by the press Of
the country are true there must be
a lack Of intelligent management
on the part of the Nebraska Relief
Commission. With numerous car
loads of supplies standing on the
side tracks Of the principal rail
road centers Of the state, their per-
ishable contents spelling for want
of attention, and at the same time
numerous appeals coming in from
people who are starving to death,
indicates that there is something
radically wrong. 1t is estimated
that there have been enough pro-
visions and money donated to pro-
vide for the residents Of the drouth
stricken sections of that state for
II months; and if this is the case
1t doesn't speak very highly for
those who have charge of its dis
tribution that there are now people
in the state who are in danger OF
losing their lives on account Of a
lack Of food and fuel. The legis-
lature Of the state has taken hold
of the matter and it is to hoped
that the defects will be speedily
remedied.-Elgi Recorder.

says, IL the face Is distorted through
pain or disfgured by injuries, casual
acquaintance can identify the body
much easier than the closest relation.
He explains this by saying that people
who have known q person well for
long time loss sightof the features and

Lawson had been convicted of
the murder of George Watson,
of Houston, Custer county. and
sentenced to be hanged on the
26th of July; pending the
preparing statement on appeal
by his attorneys his sentence
was postponed until the 25th of
August. On August 18th, at
HALEY, Judge Stockslager, on
motion for new trial refused to
grant it--Netgs- Miner.
Lawson was tried for the
above murder in Challis, at the
last term of Court, found guilty
and sentenced to be hanged here
on last July the 26th. Our Jail
here was not considered safe to
keep Lawson, so he was taken ot
Haley in June last and placed in
the Jail there, and while there
he has been allowed too many
liberties, we are told, because ha
is an old man. He was allowed
to send blackmailing letters to
Custer county which the sheriff
should have read and held, and
perhaps through correspondence
Lawson planned his escape. A
great deal of censure is laid on
Sheriff -aentnn in this county.
We are satisfied that he has been
entirly too easy in this case, and
he is held by all as negligent in
his official duty. Two of the
men who helped the prisoner to
escape are undoubtedly Law
sons sons. We expected this to
be the result, and censured the
sheriff some time ago in allowing
Lawson SO many liberties.

Last evening about 10 o'clock
a bold jail delivery occurred in
Haley, creating much excite
ment.
At that hour Sheriff Fenton
started for the jail in the base
ment of the court house to lock
up Paul P. Lawson in the steel
cage for the night. Just as he
was unlocking the outside door
two men appeared, one thrusting
a six-shooter in his face and or
dering him to throw up his
hands, while the other one tied
handkerchief securely over his
eyes. completely blindfolding
him.
They then took the keys of the
Jail away from him, unlocked
the iron door leading to the COR
ridor, led him to the steel cage
wherein he was intending to
lodge Lawson, thrust him in and
pushed the lever fastening the
door. They did not stop to lock
the door. They then bid him
goodbye, and left the Jail ac-
companied by Lawson.
In the alley back of the court
house, at the corner of the court
house fence southeast corner),
the three men joined a fourth
confederate who had four horses
saddled, bridled and in readiness.
Jake Clark, a few minutes lat
er, was coming up the Broadford
road, when he saw the four
horsemen dashing along down
the road to Bellevue.
The outside door of the jail
where the sheriff was held up is
enclosed by a stairway overhead
leading to the court house prop
er; and both sides of the stair
way are boarded up with door
in either side. Consequently
last evening. although the moon
was full and two or three hours
high, the outside Jail door was
| in darkness. And, moreover,
the court house stands so that
its shadow at 10 o'clock last eve
ming fell on the entrance side OF
the building-another circum
stance that rendered the stair
way enclosure still darker.
AS soon as the men left iai
the sheriff commenced hallooins
for help. He was heard by sew
eral parties who couldn't imag
; inc what was up. On reaching
+ the Jail Ben. Gray pulled bacl
, the lever of the cage and releas
ed the sheriff, who at once order
ed horses. and with Lew. Dors
ey and Clint Sanders immediate
/ ly started in pursuit.

, men engaged in the hold-up wa

it was almost impossible to rec
