WANTED FOR MURDER.

DEVILS LAKE PAPER EXPLAINS
WHY O'NEILL is SC >NXIOUS TO
MAKE HIS ESCAPE.
The Devils Lake News says of John
O'Neill, who has made two attempts
to escape from the state penitentiary:
John O'Neill, who was sent up from
this county for two years and six
months for the burglary of Morgridge
& Merrick's store, at Grand Harbor, is
a desperate character, and is fully re-
solved to escape from the penitentiary
if possible.
He was arrested by Sheriff Ever
Wagness about a year and a half ago,
having been caught in the store of
Kaeding Bros. at Penn. The jury in
the case in spite of this and that the
tools he had stolen from nearby
blacksmith shop and used to force an
entrance were found in his possession,
acquitted him. Judge McClory made
another information charging him
with burglarizing Morgridge & Mer-
rick's store and on this charge he was
found guilty.
About six months after he was taken
to the pen he made his escape and was
absent some time, when the warden
was informed that he was at Glendive,
Mont. The warden went to Glendive
and when O'Neill saw him he started
to swim the Yellowstone river to again
escape. The officers of the law fired
at him, and he returned to the bank
and gave himself up.
Three weeks ago he made his second
escape from his cell by way of clever
ruse, and got out of prison by tunnel
ling through wall into the twine fac
tory, where he secured a suit of over
alls belonging to the foreman, and a
slouch hat. He then climbed the
wall and got safely away. He was
again recaptured at Hebron.
O'Neill's desire to escape can be ac-
counted for by the fact that he is
wanted in Illinois for murder, and will
be turned over to the authorities of
that state as soon as his present term
expires.
In this connection it is of local in
terest to note that he has threatened to
kill Ever Wagness, P. J. McClory and
Herman Rutten, these gentlemen
having been instrumental in securing
his conviction. This is one of the
risks that an officer of the law runs in
carrying out the duties of his Office.
however, and none of these gentlemen
are very badly worried, although
O'Neill would no doubt take shot at
any of them If the opportunity pre-
sented itself.
