A BREAK FOR LIBERTY.
McGilI Was Stopped by Shot From the
Officers.


William McGill, whose troubles are
too multitudinous just now to be enum-
Grated off hand, made an attempt yes
terday to give leg bail for his appear
ance in the district court when his trial
for attempted murder comes up, but a
shot from the officers gun brought him
up with round turn and he failed to
get away.
McGill is the man who has the fac
ulty OF dissolving in tears whenever he
is taken into court and who practices it
on all occasions when he thinks it will
win him the sympathy of the court.
Some of his troubles consist of three
charges of assault with intent to COM
init murder which are pending against
him in the district court. Some time
ago ,McGill assaulted his divorced wife,
her mother and her sister with coup
ling pin, inf1icting grave injuries on all
of them. He was charged with first de-
gree assault in each case. Two Of the
charges We're filed in Justice Harring-
toms court and on one Of them McGill
was held for trial after a hearing. In
the second case he waived examination
and was again bound over. Yesterday
in Justice Bliss court were the time
and place set for the third hearing. In
this case he also waived hearing and
was held.
McGill was being taken back from
South Butte to the county jail by Con-
stable Lewis and had arrived in front
Of the court house when sense of the
sad predicament he was in came over
him so forcibly that he concluded to
take chance with his legs. He made
a break for liberty and Constable Lewis
called to him to halt. He did not obey
and the officer, drawing his gun, fired
at McGilFs feet. The fellow dropped as
though the ball had pierced his heart
Nd lot xyan of ivr1 hot
people who CHANGED to be near to think
he had really been hit. McGill evil
IDENTIFY thought so himself at first but
he soon discovered his mistake and got
up and was about to run again when it
occurred to him to look back and see
what his chances were. He saw the
officer standing with a bead drawn on
him and concluded his chances were
slim, so turned and walked back He
was soon again behind the bars.

A NARROW ESCAPE.
Drunken Men Throw a Plank Into an
Open Shaft.

open Snalt
The jag John Cronin and William
Murphy We're endeavoring to carry
around yesterday came very near get
ting them into serious trouble. They
were lacking against a strong head
wind and their zigzag course brought
them in the near vicinity of the sha TT
that is being sunk on the Mccormick
property on the corner of Granite and
Arizona streets. There a heavy piece
OF tagging lay in their way and Cronin
collided with it. Picking up the heavy
plank, Cronin gave it a shove without
looking to see where it went The fact
was 1T went down the shaft where
Owney Thornton and James Mcbride
were working. BY the greatest Miracle
it went straight down and landed be-
tween the two men without striking
either. HAD IT struck either or both the
incident would probably have resulted
fatally.
Thornton and Mcbride got a terrible
fright and Thornton climbed up and
started for the county attorneys office.
for he knew the. plank could not have
got into the shaft unless propelled by
some one He did not know whom to
accuse and SWOre to complaint
against John Doe and Richard Roe. as
he was told two men had come along
and pushed the plank in. Later it was
learned that Cronin and Murphy We're
the responsible parties. They were ar
rested and taken before Justice Har-
rington. Cronin confessed that he was
to blame, but said he did not know the
shaft was being worked. and did not
as a matter of fact know the plank
went into it. Both men said Murphy
had nothing to do with pushing the
plank ill., so Cronin was fined $40 and
told to be more careful in the future,
and Murphy entered a plea of not
guilty

A PATROL SYSTEM.
The Matter Considered by the Police
j Committee.

The Matter Considered by the Police
Committee.
At meeting held yesterday after
noon the police committee considered
thoroughly the matter of putting in a
patrol system and having a patrol
wagon. The matter discussed in
all its features Chief of Police Lavell
addressed the committee and narrated
several recent events where the patrol
system would have proved of inestima
Bile service. &sf@
The committee hunted up the fran
chse of the Citizens District Messen-
ger & Burglar Alarm company. AS a
condition of the granting of the fran
chise, the company was required when
ever the city chose to put in and main
tain free of charge 10 patrol boxes and
put in additional boxes when required
1T the rate of $35 per box. The COM
mittee concluded to try to enforce this
agreement now. Mr.. Butterfield man
ager of the messenger company. claim
ed, however, that this provision of the
franchise had lapsed. He had once put
in the boxes as required. One of them
had been broken, spelling the entire
system. As the city refused TO repair
the broken box Mr.. Butterfield had ia
ken them all out.
After discussion the committee con-
cluded to hold another meeting on
Monday afternoon, when the city attor-
ney will be asked to be present to de-
termne whether or not the company is
still obligated to furnish the 10 boxes.
The committee is ready to purchase 10
boxes in addition to the 10 it asks the
messenger company to furnish.

mac lvracn now crowned his hos
pitable efforts by producing pipes and
tobacco, and when we had moved the
boxes about, that we might take more
comfortable postures, we raked a coal
from the furnace, and with great ease
and pleasure proceeded to light up.
Our stCmachs were satisfied, we were
cozily by ourselves. and the ship was
travelling very pleasantly along, SO
that, for the time at least, we might be
said to be in "A state Of comparative
content. This was all the more crate
full after the long hardship and eN-
pUsure of the raft In the discourse
that followed we answered freely Mac
lyrach's questions, he having till now
but scdnt knowledge Of us, and con-
trived to impress him, as | thought,
with the advantage TO himself in con
tinuing his friendship and good Offices.
Not long after this some of the crew
came down, and though none forced
their company on us we conceived that
it might not be wise 10 prolong our
confab, and accordingly gave the cook
sign and broke up. In no great while
afterward the boatswain summoned
us, and we learned that we were pres
emily to be sent into the watches and
report for duty. This was done, and
we found that the captain was chosen
for the first mates watch, and Mr..
lynn and l for the second mates, or
starboard watch. IL seemed that we
had four hours each, continually

At four bells Mr.. lynn and | were

"Now we shall know what nation she

So, indeed, it seemed to prove. The
man presently hailed, and the speech

CHAPTER VII.

OF THE GREAT STRAIT WE FOUND
OURSELVES IN, AND HOW THAT
SUBTLEROGU THE NATE, SEEMED
STILL TO TRIUMPH.
Till the Industry had thus come to
her end we could not fetch our minds
TO other concerns, but now the cap
tain gave a sigh, which seemed to
break the spell, and we stirred in our
places and presently fell to talking.
The longboat was still lifting and fall
ing on the swells to the south of us,
her sail not very well filed on account
of the light breeze, but yet already a
considerable distance off, and slowly
gaining. For ourselves, we had hoist
ed no canvas, and were making no eff
Tort to come upon any course, and
were therefore merely slipping gently
30 leeward.
Pray, where do you prick us down
on the chart?" inquired Mr.. lynn Of
the captain, after we had speculated u
little upon the weather and the pres
ent mild wind.
Coming at it as near as may be-"
answered Capt. Sellinger, I'VE should
be in 80 of north latitude, and in longi-
tude may be 60. That would fetch us
somewhat above 100 miles east of the
Bermudas, and near to 800 miles from
our port"
Il had thought bit farther north
and east" returned the supercargo,
"but doubtless | am astray as to your
last observation. Then, such being the
figures, what say you we should de-
duce from them-in other words, how
shall we lay our course?'
WELL" he said, with bitter look
into the south, had we yonder boat

what navigator shall lay you the

the air there should presently be u

his usual manner, that this was the
trade wind, which we count o be in a
manner steadfast.'
AYE, and 50 it is" answered the
captain, only not at present con
frmed and with Il staying weight i'm it.
But since ii is better to do something
than nothing and no harm can come
by it, we will set the sail. Master Ar
dick. pluck the mast from among the
rattle yonder, fetch that large piece of
will do under cloths"
1t came like bit of cheer to have
this rational thing to do, after such a
solemn go-round, and made haste to
overhaul the spar and canvas and fetch
them aft. Here was the clearest space
and ! spread the articles out, and the
captain and | fell to work. In a very
little time we had the affair ready, and
l carried il forward and put it in place
by this time some showing of what
the captain had prophesed as to
change of weather began to appear.
The sun was now pretty high, but il
did not strike down with its usual heat,
a thin, whitish, almost imperceptible
haze floating between, and presently
/ noticed that the northern sea line
was little darkened, so that the hori-
ION itself was not so sharply cut as it
had been. The air too, had Il changed
feeling-a little dampcr, as might say,
and with more OF the ocean smell in it.
/ now surmsed that we were to catch
a bit of blow, though not a hurri-
cane, and that the wind would pres
emily shift to the north. What sort of
business we could make Of it Heaven
only knew, and it was with no little
stirring of apprehension that finally
gave over my studying and directed
a more general look around The long
boat was still travelling southwest, and
no other sail was TO be seen. There was
the same easy sea, not so deeply blue

sun, but raising scarcely Il crest, and

likewise feared that he might be of
that cruel or indifferent sort that
would leave us in the lurch if we failed.

and hurriedly told the others how the
matter stood. The ship was not dead 10
Windward, but in the course She was
