EFFORT TO ESCAPE.

Thomas @. Robinson. who last week
at Cresco was convicted of murder in
the first degree for poisoning his in
FAINT daughters. and whose penalty
was fixed by the jury at imprison-
ment for life, almost gained his
liberty. He was confined in one of
the cells at the Jail and made his es-
cape from it to the corridor through
an opening seven inches wide and
eleven inches long. From the corridor
he made hole through the ceiling in
to an attic and from there out on the
roof. The sheriff was awakened by
the noise and stepped outside and saw
Robinson on the roof. When asked
what he was doing there, Robinson
answered: ~ haven't done anything
yet" and the sheriff thought it was 9
brother of the prisoner trying to work
into the building to permit an escape.
When discovered Robinson was ON 9
low roof, only about ten feet from the
ground, and as it was only about mid
night, had he reached the ground un
discovered he would have had goot
start for freedom by morning. The
hole through which he escaped is one
through which his meals were passed
and which had been called his "feet
hole. "

BURNED IN HAY STACK.

Last Thursday at three O'Clock in
the morning, r. d. White, who lives
on what is known as the Gordon or
Hprwig farm near Volga City, dis
covered two large hay stacks Oh fire.
AS they were out in the field from the
road and no danger of anything else
burning he waited until morning and
with his hired man went down to fix
the wire that had been around it and
discovered the remains of human
being still burning in the bottom of
the stack. Mr.. White Immediately
went to town and notified the coroner,
who arrived in the afternoon and held
an inquest There was very little to
point to whom the person was. There
were the remains of a satchel, two
bottles and razor were found with
the body. The throat had evidently
been cut and probably the razor was
used to do it. Some people will al
ways believe it was murder but al
most all are of the opinion that the
body was that of Mr.. Herwig, who
formerly owned and lived on the
farm, but family trouble caused a
separation and he was always talking
and crying over his trouble. On Fri
day he was in town and left some
things for daughter, residing near
town He disposed of his watch to a
son and his tools to o. German and
made the remark that he would die on
that farm. He went to Dubuque that
afternoon. From what has been learn
cd he camo to Lamont on Wednesday
and liveryman drove him towards
Volga to where the road crosses be-
tween Arlington and Straw berry Point
where he said he would walk. That Is
the last trace yet found of him, and
that he fired the stack and cut his
throat to die and entirely obliterare
himself is the general belief. Be
tween two and three dollars in money
was found as if thrown in the grass.
