Charlie Carter, the young man who escaped
from a deputy sherlns posse at this place
few weeks ago, is again in the vicinity
and is making no end of trouble for the of1-
GERS of the law, none Of whom appears to be
able to catch him. Since his return young
Carter has been conducting himself in an
unruly manner, and a peace warrant was
sworn out against him two weeks ago Sher-
in Leisure made several attempts to arrest
Carter, but so far has failed. One night
last week the young man went to dance at
Oconto, and the sheriff and a. deputy lay by
the roadside until morning to catch him on
his return. But Carter returned by another
road. The sheriff subsequently got an in
terview with Carter, and the latter agreed
to surrender and give a bond to keep the
peace on a certain date. Yesterday being the
day, and Carter failing to meet his appoint
ment, the sheriff came over from Broken
Bow last evening to arrest the boy. During
the night about fifteen citizens were sworn
in as deputies and men were stationed at
every avenue of escape around the house
of young Carter's father, which is located
mile east of town, with orders to shoot the
fugitive should he attempt to pass. 1t was
planned that at daylight the sheriff was to
drive in buggy to the Carter house and de-
mand the surrender OF the young man, III
he declined the sheriff was to drive away
toward town, when, 1t was thought. Carter
would make Of and be cribbed by some OF
the ambuShed pickets. The plan was car
ried out. Carter refused to give himself
up and defed the sheriff and his man to take
him. Instead of driving away as had been
planned, the sheriff parleyed with Carter for
full hour, and some of the picket becoming
tired and thinking the show was over, left
their posts to find out what was the matter.
Finally Carters father led a saddled horse
to the door, and the young man, with his
rifle. directed toward the sheriff, rode away.
The Loup river bridge, the most likely point
of escape, was the one chosen by hte fugi-
tive for his retreat. This is one Of the posts
that had been deserted, and he got into the
hills unmolested. There is considerable in
dignation here over the incapacity or lack of
nerve of the sheriff, and it is suggested that
he ought to resign.
