Lincoln, Neb., March 16--Only the
presence of the Nebraska militia men on
guard at the state penitentiary prevent
ed the escape of u convicts from that
institution. Mounting from the floor of
the cell house to the top of the roof
through a ventilator fiue after first
saving through an iron grating and big
iron bars at the lower end, the twelve
prisoners looked over the top edge of
the front wall down to the road below
only to see four vigilant guardsmen pa
trolling ceaselessly along the front Of
the building
Though the criminals had rope ample
to lower them to the ground they dared
not risk a meeting with the militiamen
and coWed from the accomplishment OF
their purpose, they huddled down to-
geIner in the great drain trough along
the edge of the roof just behind the
abutting wall and lay there shivering,
some without shoes. others only in their
underclothes. TIL they were discovered
by Deputy Warden Bowers in the morn
ing and marched down to dark dungeons
below.
The cell from which the attempt was
made is the only portion of the pen1ten-
tiary which was not destroyed in the
fire Of two weeks ago. It is untitled with
cells or any prison equipment, having
never before been used The men, 2S5 in
number, are herded there in a bunch at
night and sleep on improvised wooden
hunks.
These are ranged along the wall. in

they have been carrying on at night

side The convicts. equipped with

rope from the broom factory and work

tor over. They dropped to the roof, but
feared to face the soldiers. having sup
posed that no watch or a very loose ore
was kept
At roll call in the morning the alb
sentees were discovered and later found
on the roof.

situation was most critical Panic
stricken, they rushed for the windows
leading to the fire escapes and all but
three of them succeeded in gaining the
roof of an adjoining building Long lad-

would permit, but before a ladder could
be placed in position the men had drop

press room in the basement there was
practically no fire in the building below

THINK DE WET CRAZY.
British Can Account For Him in No
Other Way.

Bloemfontein, March 16.-Prisoners
who have lately been released by Gen
eraI De Wet say they think ne Is mad
man. They aver that the terrible ia
tigues he has undergone, his anxieties
and the Intensity of his feelings have
unhinged his mind. Apart from this
view Of General De Vets mental state,
some of his peculiarities are that he
rarely sleeps within the bounds of his
camp He seeks rest outside, with
few trusted followers. Thus the order
lies Of his subordinate commanders are
frequently unable to find him to receive
orders His secrecy is extreme He abb
solutely imparts his plans to no one.
General De Wet repudiates the peace
negotiations which are going on. He
declares openly to the men that no terms
except independence will satisfy him.
A recent utterance attributed to him
is that after the British he hated the
TranSVaalers. The Wheredh0ut of
General De Wet during the last two or
three days is unknown. nor is it known
whether President Steyn is with him.
