TRIED TO STEAL PANTS
MI. Jacks Has an Exciting Expert =
ence With Thief

A bad man tried to beat Jacks Star
Clothing House out Of three pairs of pants
yesterday. and he made a very pretty gun
play in order to get away. The fellow
went in and called for a pair of pants,
saying that he wanted a pair just Ike
he had on.
While Mr.. Jacks went to the rear Of the
store to look for the pants the thief took
three other pairs and slipped them under
his overcoat. The proprietor noticed fne
pants when ne returned and grabbed them.
The thief then reached for his gun, but did
not use it on Mr.. Jacks. He only made
a threatening move, and told Mr.. Jacks
that If he attempted to give the alarm he
would shoot his fun of little round holes
He then backed steadily and quietly out Of
the door, and when once out made a run
for the clear. Jacks Immediately after
ward informed Policeman Stewart OF the
bad man and the pants and the gun, but
the officer did not get the fellow.

At the jail yesterday it was learned from
one Of the prisoners who saw the work
Of Tackett when he was saving through
the bars at the west end window, that
Tackett was the worst exhausted man
from the work ne had been at all night
that ne ever saw. He said: "Tackett al
most dropped down to the floor three or
four times while at work. He would saw
for while and then fail up against the
wall OF the jail and say. Boys, this Is the
toughest job I ever undertook. 7 don't
know whether viii be able 10 go through
with it or not He would work for a while
and stop for rest. and each time make
some remark about how nearly dead ne
was from fatigue. The boys who were
near him would cheer k-,a up and say,
GO It. Tackett; don't give up and Tack
EFT would work like Beaver for a few
minutes. When he had two of the bars
cut he decided to go at something easier, !
and returned to the soft iron lock on the |
rotary lever, which was cut in few min |
utes and then he had the help of seven |
more men to bend the bars apart, rather |
than saw them off. When it was found !
that there was not space enough for Muir |
ply 10 get through, the men placed the |
plank once more between the bars and /
sung in sailor fashion as they would swing |
their strength against the plank: 'Once |
more boys; once more and we are out |
After this was gone through with Tacketr, |
who was the gangs leader, ordered Muir |
ply to measure himself again, and when /
the opening was found to be large enough /
to admit his body the criminals left the /
