made his escape from the county Jail al
most three months ago, in company with
another young man, by removing several
bricks from the wall under one of the
windows, was finally captured yesterday

to transact at Maize yesterday afternoon
and on bis way out he decided to drive
through Riverside park. AS he came
near where the Holiness camp meeting
is being held, he saw the young man
who had slipped away from him at the
jail and recognized him at once. Mer-
rift had presence of mind enough to see
that he could not escape the officer, so
he stood his ground and played the in
nocent game. He gave a fictitious name
and played his part well, but the sheriff
was not to be fooled. He took the young
man to the Jail in the buggy. where he
was identified
Young Merritt had been working in the
country about thirteen miles south Of
this city since his escape from the Jail
this spring and came TO Wichita yester-
day, expecting to leave in the afternoon

larceny. 1t was alleged that he stole a
pair of shoes and some other small
articles from the house which was being
constructed by Dan Breese at the corner
of Waco and Pine streets. He escaped
from the Jail on Sunday night June Z,
and will now have to answer the charge

that he guessed he would keep the

seemed to anger the engineer, who
told the agent that if he would keep
the sand on the outside and not on the
inside of the warehouse he would
give him five dollar bill. The
agent made no reply. The engineer
then said he would give him ten dol
dollars if he would do SO. Finally he
said he would give him twenty dol
lars. The agent returned DO answer
so the engineer walked of. AS he
did so Mr.. Weems turned to the mail
agent, who was nearby and remarked !:
"what fools some men make of them

Unfortunately Mr.. Ballard over
heard the remark. He turned, nc.
