ESCAPE is A MYSTERY.
Not Known How Sioux Falls Prisoner,
Cut the Iron Rars

Cut the Iron Bars.
Sioux Falls. S. D., Oct 4.--Since the
recent sensational attempt of j. H.
Wilson, noted forger, and p man
named Ryan. charged with burglary. to
make their escape from the county
jail in this city, it has been . mystery
how they managed to break off or saw
a bolt which held the door OF their
cell shut. A diligent search OF the
jail has since been made, but the only
thing found that could possibly have
been used by them in cutting the bolt
was an old case knife.
Wilson stated to Sheriff Huston that
this was the instrument used in cut
ting the bolt, and that himself and
Ryan has been at work on the job for
period of more than one month.
1t is difficult to believe the bolt could
have been cut with the knife. 1t is
possible the men in some manner Sc
cured possession of small saw, and
made away with it during the brief
time they were at liberty after hav-
ing forced their way out of the Jail
Wilson and Ryan, in addition to the
charges previously rending against
them, must now face the further charge
of assault with intent to commit muir
der. Wilson, who is one of the most
slippery and most desperate characters
ever confined in the county Jail, stated
TO Sheriff Huston, after the attempted
escape and assault of Deputy Sheriff
Crooks, that he guessed he was fixed
for ten or twelve years imprisonment
now.
TO judge by the nature of the charges
against him in this city and at Min
neapois, Sioux City, Mankato, st.
Paul and other cities. unless he can
manage to make his escape he will
pass the remainder Of his life behind
prison walls
Deputy Sheriff Crooks, who was Sc
verely beaten by the two men when
they were attempting to make their
escape, has recovered from his in
juries. Notwithstanding that he re-
ceived blows which would have killed
many men, he proved himself a hero
by not stopping to have his wounds
cared for until both men had been re-
captured and placed in their old quar-
'ers at the Jail.

II DROWNED IN FLOOD.
of Life and Much Property
DAMAGE.

Las Vegas, N. NJ. Oct. 4.-The town
of Watrous was destroyed by the flood,
and at least twelve persons were
drowned. Among these We're the three
children of j. E. Stevens, Felix Wilt
rael, his wife, two sisters and several
children and o. +. Porter. j. E. Stevens
and wife escaped and have been
brought here. They are in critical
condition.
Many persons were rescued from
trees and house tops. The greatest
damage was around the junction of
Mora and Sapelo creeks. The rock
crusher the great iron bridge and much
track at Watrous We're washed away.
The Gallinas river formed a new
channel here. In the Gallinas the dams
of the Aqua Pura company broke,
bringing terrific flood upon the city.
The Montezuma, Hot Springs track
went out in many places. Half dozen
bridges were destroyed and the Monte
yuma bath house was practically
cleared away.
For two blocks on Bridge street every
business house was flooded. The big
Ilfeld brick store was ruined and the
big bridge undermined. Gallinas park
is under water, and the trolley line
cannot be repaired for two weeks.
The race meet here next week has
been declared off.
One hundred thousand dollars will
not cover the loss to the town, and
the railroad loss is equal to that of re-
cent floods in Arizona.
From Santa Rosa comes a report of
the loss of the great iron bridge of the
Rock Island, and much track.

c. F. Butler Wings the Bird With q Ride
Will Be Mounted
If not the only one, It was the largest
eagle ever captured in this county,
and was brought down from its high
position in the air Tuesday forenoon by
rifle in the hands of c. F. Butler, who
lives in LlanOs township. The eagle
measured seven feet and one inch from
tip to tip of its wings, % inches from
beak to tail, and weighed eleven
pounds.
Mr.. Butler was coming to GOOdland
when he saw the bird 1t is of the
black or brown variety, and as II was
leaving a point of rest and winging
itself high to a place of safety, Mr..
Butler shot the eagle through one of its
wings with a rifle when It was 200 yards
distant. The first shot brought the
bird to the ground, but before he could
make the capture ne tried again and
put another ball through the other
wing
The eagle was given TO John Book
and was still alive when brought to
town. 1t would clench its talons and
peck with its beak. As Mrs. Book
knows something of taxidermy the
eagle viii be stuffed and made to orna-
ment their home
