WAS TRIED BIZ JURY

Heard Yesterday.

Yesterday in Judge Glenn's court the
entire day was consumed in trying q
case of assault and battery by jury. The
complaint had been made Dy farmer
by the name Of Jeckill. who lives upon
a farm twelve miles southwest Of the
city. He is comparatively an old man
of ordinary height and oe strong build,
while the defendant, Ar-hIr Msrn, is a
slight, quiet, unoffansive looking hoy,
with no puguacitus appearance about
him.
1t was brought out ny the prosecution
that the old man had been assaulted by
the. boy, or the yOIng fellow had en-
deavored in many ways 10 get into d
physical encounter win the old man
and Messrs. Tucker ami Conley nearly
burst the ear drums Of the large gath
ering of farmers in the Etcle i'>om, by
their vociferous appeals to the Jury.
Colonel Dyer defended the younS fell
low, and the evidence went 70 prove
that the old man :areatened to Use
pitchfork upon the boy. The dill. Ilty
grew out of some part Of an grange
ment between the parties. The young
fellow worked for Mr.. Jeckill and Hlso
rented 100 acres Of land of him. Tie
jury, when last heard from, were SUI
balloting upon the case.

SKATING STILL CONTINUES
Larger Crowds Than Ever Appear Upon
the Ice

Yesterday afternoon the river was Wis
tied by larger crowd than the day be-
fore. The snow of the evening before
had blown off the ice and il was as good
as on the dav previous. In one or two
places the ;re had opened and some dis
lance above the Maple street bridge
there was a stretch Of water about fifty
yards long and ten or twelve feet wide.
The skating was principally done south
OF the Maple street bridge. There the ice
was quite firm and smooth. There must
have been 1890 persons present at this
one place. One little girl was unfortun-
ate enough to skate into an air-hole, but
the water IS not deep enough a any place

Unknown Woman Runs Into a Man With a
Buggy.

A woman driving carelessly along
down Douglas avenue yesterday after
noon came very near running over a wo-
man and man. The two latter had just
alighted from a carriage on the side op-
posite the sidewalk and were taking
few packages from the carriage when
the woman drove by, trying apparently
10 pass as closely as possible. The man
had his overcoat collar turned up and
was unable TO see the approaching rig.
The wheel caught him and threw him
with some violence against the carriage
from which he had just alighted. The
woman saw the danger in time and avoid
ed being run into by pressing closely to
the carriage. The woman VINO was driv-
ing laughed as she drove away, not car
ing apparently, while the man brushed
of his Clothes and went on up street IN
injured save few bruises. The street
was not crowded at the time, no other
vehicles being upon that side of the street
Whether the woman was endeavoring
10 create sensation or whether il was
simply CareleSsness upon her part, could
not be stated; but she did not seem TO
care in the least.

FORCED 10 RETURN
PRISONER IS TURNED OVER TO
THE OFFICERS.
Isaacs, the Accomplish of Harbolt, Who
Was Sentenced Recently to Ninety Nine
Years in the Penitentiary for Robbins
Train on the Santa Fe Near Cimarron, is
the Man-Sawed the Bars and Made His
Escape-Ssverity of the Weather Com
peiIs Him to Return to Tows for Food
and Shelter.

Word was received in this city through
the express messengers and train men of
the recent escape and subsequent rear
rest of Isaacs. the accomplice of Harbolt,
who held up a Santa Fe train at Omar
ron, which occurred about a year ago.
Harbolt was sentenced TO the peniten-
tiarY some time ago for the term Of 80
years, and Isaacs still remained in jail
at Cimarrcn.
About week ago he managed to make
his escape from jail during the absence
OF the sheriff, who was up the road
short distance attending to some Of the
business of his office. leaving the jail in
charge OF his deputies.
The escape was effected by saving the
bars of the cell. and after getting out
of that ne obtained piece of chain and
a crowbar with which he bent the re-
naming bars between him and liberty
sufficiently to allow him TO squeeze
through. He Immediately left for the
sand hills, where he remained in hiding
for seVera. days.
The recent cold spell found Isaacs en-
tirely unprepared for it. He built fires
and endeavored TO keep warm in every
Manner possible. He stood the torture
for a day or two, but finally the intensi-
~ OF the cold and his hunger compelled
him TO return TO town. He slipped in
after dark and applied to livery stable
for shelter. The barn belonged to
brother of Harboit. and ISaacs was taken
in and given somtthing to eat and shell
ter. He was suffering greatly from the
cold, and his hands, feet and face were
frozen quite badly. He was made as
comfortable for the night as possible,
and when morning came he was turned
over 10 the Sheriff.
Isaacs appeared at the barn of his
pals brother IL the evening, and not
withstaLdinS his condition ne asked for
something ID eat and the loan Of a horse
to get away on, but the liveryman was
totally out os sympathy with both his
brother and bis manner OF obtaining a
living, and when daylight came he turn
ed Isaacs over 10 the sheriff.
