thinks he had the money when he re-

He has no idea what time the robber en-

Lennon has not been here very long,
probably not more than month. The
hotel management is inclined to believe
that the money was lost on the street,
as It would have been almost impossible
for any one to have entered the room
without being detected. Again, all the
occupants of the room would scarcely
have remained asleep while the prowler
was getting in his work.

ENNE JAIL.
ONLY FOR A SHORT Time
Both Are R~ecaptured Before They
Could Leave the city-As-
saulted the Jaiier.

Local interest in the recent trouble
in the Big Horn basin was revived
yesterday by the receipt of news that
Jim McCloud, whose arrest was the
occasion for a display of military force
before he could be taken from his
stronghold Themopolis to the
Basin Jail, had temporarily escaped
from the Jail at Cheyenne, where he is
being held on the charge of robbing
the United States mail, with an adj
ditional charge Of numbering Ben
Minnick hanging over him. With
him escaped the notorious Tom Horn,
under sentence of death for numbering
a boy, the son of a sheepman named
Nickel.
Sunday evening McCloud pretended
to have tainted and the jailer, r. A.
Proctor, was asked for a cup of hot
water. When he opened the door of
the corridor of the cage in which Nc
Cloud and Horn were confined the
two men threw their weight against
it and forced the door open. Then
they attacked the jailer and a terrific
struggle ensued which lasted nearly
half an hour. Proctor was beaten
almost %insensible in the efforts of the
murderers to secure possession of the
Jail keys. He told them the KEYS were
locked up in the safe in the office
and when no longer able to defend
himself the fellows carried him into
the office. Here another desperate
encounter ensued. At last McCloud
managed to get hold of a Winchester
rifle that was in the Office and compel
led the jailer to open the safe. AS
ne did so he grasped a revolver that
was in the safe and began shooting
at the desperadoes, wounding Nc
Cloud. Proctor was at last
cred and the keys, which all the time
had been in his pocket, were taken
away from him and McCloud and Horn
made their escape from the building,
McCloud going first.
The shooting aroused the other Off.
GERS and when McCloud attempted
to ride off on one of the sheriff's
horses that official shot at him, but did
not hit him. Later McCloud was found
IN a barn only a few blocks distant.
Horn was unarmed and after a e c
ond fight succeeded in getting Proc
tors revolver, but not before the taller
had manipulated a secret spring that
prevented it from working. After he
had h weapon Horn took deliberate
aim at Proctor and tried to kill him.
He repeated this several times. See
ing that he corsla not use the pistol
he picked up Proctor's coat and hat
and dashed after McCloud. About
V blocks away he was caught by
a crowd of citizens and almost
beaten to Death before the police could
rescue him. Only the timely appear
ance and intervention of the officers
him from being lynched. I,
Neither the wounds of Horn nor
McCloud are serious, while Proctor
was able to attend to his duties as
usual.
