After the breakfast the girl commenced
to realize the necessity for making known
her fathers death, SO with her brother
she went out to find her mother and other

mother made inquiries, but could learn
nothing more. They all went back to

she didn't know how her father killed
himself.
Her little brother Nicholas was too
frightened to say anything. The coroner
at Newcastle, Wyo., the nearest place,
was notified, and the two children were
taken into custody.

where he was confined after his recent re-
capture at the Harmonic theater. Some
TIN ee weeks since he escaped from the
central police station within ten hours
after his arrest. His escape from the city
prison cost Jailer Mckenna his position
and Matron Paine drew SO less than her
usual months pay. 1t remains to be seen
what will happen to the persons Iespon-
sible for his escape from the jail.
The police had warned the ja;lers that
the you1gster was a very slippery indi-
Vidual, even if he was but fifteen years
old. and they cautioned the turkeys to
watch him closely.
Willie and two other boys were confined
In the boys department, and yesterday
while their quarters were being scrub
bed the youngsters were kept in the
mems corridor. After the scrubbing Dep
uty LindGuist escorted the trio back to
their cells. Willie led the way ard as the
deputy stopped to close the door the two
other boys made dash for the door as
II &c escape into the outer corrl0Or. Lind
quist seized them and in tine meantime
soung Brown climbed up the bars of the
cage like a monkey and disappeared
Through an open skylight over the cells.
She deputy was close second and he saw
Willie slide down ladder leading from
Che top floor of the unfinished side of the
building to the floor below. He quickly
disappeared from the deputys sight and
somehow gained the street. Thus far no
trace Of him has been found.
The two boys who aided Willie to es-
cape are prisoners from the state reform
atory who are here as witnesses. Neither
of them cared particularly about their
own freedom, but when Willie suggested
his own escape to them both were quite
willing to aid him, and the entire plan
was carried out to the letter. They told
LindQuist that they had just been playing
and that Brown must be real bad boy
to run away in such a manner.
The sheriff's office did not take the
trouble to notify the police department.
consequently Brown gained considerable
time and the probabilities are that he will
not be recaptured very soon.
