convicted of cattle theft and sentenced
to four years in the penitentiary, made
his escape and is still at large. Some
time during the afternoon telegram was
received, announcing that the court OF
appeals had affirmed the decision of the
district court, and it is apparent that
measures were at once taken to secure
his escape. :,
About 6:15 several people in the streets
noticed that bricks were falling from out
the Jail wall in the second story, and soon
the feet and then the body of a man
were seen coming through the hole made
in the wall. He dropped from the sec,
ond story to the ground, scaled the jail
yard fence and walked across the street
to his horse, which is one of the swiftest
in this section, and which had been tied
near the Jail by some one, mounted, and
after waving good bye to those watching
him. rode out of town in run. The of
ficers soon learned of the escape, and al
though they were soon after him, it was
impossible to get anywhere near him, and
he was soon lost in the Wichita river
