PRISONER JUST
WALKED AWAY.
Frank BarteIl Escapes From Under
Nose Of Guard Harries.
LAST SEEN GOING NORTH.
Was working on the Bitch When He
Got Through Fence and soon
Vanished From View.

Frank Bartell escaped from the
prisoners guard white working with
gang on a county ditch on Tenth South
street, near Seventh West yesterday
afternoon and is still at large. Sheriff
Naylor ana Deputy Sheriff Raleigh
took the night train TO Ogden, hoping
to head off the escaped convict, but
returned this morning without having
found any trace Of him. Bartell Is
probably In hiding somewhere between
Salt Lake and Ogden. The last clue OF
him was In the neghborhood of Beck's
Hot Springs. but from this point he
seems to have left absolutely no trace.
1t is not likely that he can have taken
to the mountains as he left his coat be-
hind, and only wore a light shirt a
pair Of blue overalls and black slouch
hat. Bartell Is rather small man OF
about 40 years Of age, weighs 12o
pounds. stands feet 5h inches. He is
dark complexioned with black hair and
whiskers, and has the appearance of
an Italian, although American born.
His teeth are deca,ed, and he has a
slight scar on his left eyebrow. he has
plenty OF tattoo marks on his BODY, ana
on his right forearm IL depicted 9
picture Of man and woman. Bartell
was serving g sixty days sentence for
assault.
Deputy Sheriff Lewis had charge Of
81 tnartf rr an th0
ditch. and ex-Deputy Sheriff Harries
had been appointed as a special guard
10 assist Lewis. and Is really the man
who is responsible for the prisoners
escape. Bartell had asked Harries II
he might quit the gang for few min
utes, and instead of keeping him in
sight the guard allowed him TO wander
up the ditch and the prisoner embraced
the opportunity 10 creep under fence
and crawl TO the canal, into which he
quietly dropped. Once Ia the ditch the
escaped convict seems 10 have run at
a rapid pace In the shallow water.
When the careless guard noticed his
absence he infromed Daputy Lewis.
who took charge of the gang and Har-
rles ran to the nearest telephone about
a half mile distant and nctihed the
sheriff Sheriff MAYOR and Deputy
Busby were quickly on the scene and.
traced Bartell as far as the east bank
OF the Jordan at Eighth South street,
at which point he was seen 10 have
taken a northerly course. Later he
was heard OF as walking along the
county road past the hot springs. This
seems to have been about 1880 In the
afternoon. Pennington, Provo. Ogden
and various other points We're notified
to be on the Qui vive far the fugitive,
but so far he has managed TO elude
capture.
Bartell was sentenced by Judge Hall
on July 20 10 a six months term In the
county jail, for assaulting Fred Ro-
gowsky on July II. while Mike Cal
iagher robbed Rogowsky's second hand
store at 1923 State street. Gallagher
was sentenced to term Of one year.
