Escape of Joe Pete.

Joe Pete, the Indian sentenced to be
hanged for the murder OF Will Dang
berg, made his escape from the county
Jail at Genoa last Sunday afternoon by
digging through the brick floor of the
Jail aud excavating passage way I'M
der the wall on the north side of the
building. 1t is probable that the In
dams furnished Joe Pete with some
sort of an iron bar or tool to do the
job. This they could easily have poked
through between the iron bars cover
ing the windows of the Jail. The floor
of the Jail is composed of one layer of
brick laid on edge without cement.
The floor is old and badly worn, and
after the first brick was pried out the
others were easily removed. The ma
ture of the ground under the floor is
such as to offer little resistance, being
composed almost entirely of loose
stones. Joe Pete made a gofer hole
through this formation about eight feet
in length and removed perhaps two
tons of dirt and stone.
Deputy Sheriff Tillman says the floor
of the Jail had not been disturbed when
he saw it about O'Clock in the morn
ing and at quarter to in the after
noon he discovered that the jail was
empty. He looked in and saw Joe
Pete about half-past 1, but did not ex-
anime the Jail.
Sheriff Brockliss was on his way
home from Sheridan at the time. He
was notified and has since made an
unsuccessful search for the murderer.
He was thunderstruck when he heard
the news and unable to speak for a
time. He has been terribly censured
by the people and the press for allow.
ing his prisoner to escape and an effort
is being made to remove him from
Office. There is a steel cell in the jai
in which Joe Pete should have beer
confined and from which he could not
have escaped. The escape of the pris
oner is chargeable alone to the lenienct
of the Sheriff, and while all condemn
him for his carelessness, his friend,
sympathize with him in his trouble
They say he has had hard time ever
since he has been in office. They fee
sorry for him, but blame him severely
for allowing Joe Pete to escape.
