The proposed constitution has for it's
main purpose the disfranc hisement of the
negro, and at the same time to leave the
ballot in the hands of every white man
in the state. The advocates of the new
instrument say that this will be brought
about by the adoption of the proposed

THE oFF1oERs ESCAPED.

With all the elements of a tragedy
impending, a roaring farce comedy was
enacted six miles south of Topeka
near Pauline, Sunday afternoon and
evening.
The chief actors in the play were High
Sheriff Cook of Shawnee his deputy,
Williams Chief of Police Stahl and ten
of Mayor Hughes tried and trusted blue
coated guardians of the peace. All these
were armed to the teeth save the sheriff
whose gun fortunately was defective, or
he might have been killed with his own
weapon Other characters in the drama
were farmers with Winchesters and a
brave farmers wife whose only weapon,
her voice, the sheriff would not permit
her to use. Opposed to this army Of
thirty or more surrounding them in a
lone farm house were two wounded con-
victs.
After hours of parley and naneuver.
the two manned convicts escaped, and
Immediately thereafter the sheriff, the
police officers and the entire municipal
army made their way safely to the
county and city fortresses.
OF course, it is always easy in affairs
of this kind for a citizen who was
miles away to criticise the conduct Of
those who were in the midst of the
fray.
Be this as it may. Sheriff Cook and
Chief Stahl, for themselves and their
assistants, will be compelled to explain
and explain again without ever making
the nearer understand how the two
wounded men got away from the thirty
armed officers of the law.
The other day a few citizens and far
mers of Nortonvi1le captured five con-
victs on short notice. 1t is apparent
that nobody from Nortonville was at
Pauline Sunday.
When the sheriff went into the back
door of Mr.. Worcester's farm house it
seems that he expected to be received
by the convicts with open arms, instead
of with a six shooter which promptly
stared him out of countenance. out of
breath and out of liberty
When Chief Stahl and his men ar
rived they, too, were held spellbound by
the same wounded cpnvicts.
After the prisoners on crutches left
the farm house they shortly released
the sheriff and disappeared into an
orchard which is surrounded by miles
of open country.
Instead of pursuing and surrounding
the wounded criminals, the sheriff
gathered his deputy, the chief and other
dangerous officers of the law about him
and fortified himself sufficiently to send
a telegram to Leavenworth for rein
forcements, and to Topeka to tell the
tale. The whole party then heller
SHELTER proceeded to make their way
into the city and as quickly as possible
put the greatest distance between them
and the hunted convicts.
Few more thrilling encounters in the
criminal annals of Shawnee county
have ever been enacted.
Let us all be thankful that the min
ions of the law all returned safely to
their fresides, weary but wiser, al
though dazed and not able to tell ex-
actly what had happened to them
