of Taureas attacked an European en-
pedition on their way through the Sa-
hara, killing hundred men and cap

,ner in the Bloomfield Jail At
tempts Murder.

fsla, ;,sss Sept; anespseis1.n- ; .a;
Sat afternoon, when shouts and
cries Zip issuing from the county
jail q d1the attention of the great
crowt h had gathered from all
over t, lty to attend the republi-
can coa.sy convention and do their
trading.
Investigation showed that fight was
going on between Clarence Mills, who
was committed to Jail some months
ago to await trial for the murder of
his wife, and Clay Owens,
who was brought back from
state prison to he ret-ried for cattle
stealing, in the present term of court.
When those in charge of the prisoners
reached the scene of action, Mills had
his hands on Owens throat for the
third time, and would probably have
ended his victims life in a few mo-
ments as Owens was completely ex-
hausted. A physician was Immediate
ly summoned to dress the wounds of
the TWO, which We're slight, Owens hav-
ing a badly cut finger and bruise in the
left breast. while Mills had rather
severe cut in the head. The following
statement was made by Owens: "Mills
had been singing all the morning,
which was unusual for him. Shortly
before he approached me he walked
over to the corner OF the room and
picked up broom and walked the
floor with it. and ] noticed he held
something in his hand. It was a deck
of cards. He kept looking at me with
an ugly look. | asked him what was
the matter. Then | sat down at the
table ard began cleaning the lamp.
Mills finally went into his cell and
stayed thsre. muttering to himself.
Then he came out and jerked the lamp
chimney off the table. ! jumped up
with the lamp aud asked him what
was the matter ,and said: Stand back,
Clarence We both stepped back.
Mills stuck the broom handle through
the lamp chimney and then threw ii
down and picked up d heavy dish and
threw it at me, and then tried to choke
