were confined in the Jail robbed the
Italian, who called to Henry Harrison
as he passed and told him of the cir
cumstance. Harrison called Officer
Scheer, who entered the jail leaving
a boy on the outside to bolt the door.
Officer Scheer then tried to take the
money from the crook who had rob-
bed the Italian. when a general fight
ensued in which the officer was forced
to back out of the door, as there were
IL prisoners in the Jail. AS soon as
Scheer went out of the Jail the crooks
began to beat the Italian and declared
they would murder him, when Scheer
went in the second time to protect
the prisoner. the crooks rushed at
the door, knocked Harrison down,
overpowered Scheer and broke away
and disappeared in the darkness.
This morning one of the escapes
and the one who escaped arrest last
evening were captured and are now in
the city jail.
Scheer had hard fight with the
men and while he was not badly
bruised himself, he gave one of them
bad beating with his club before 1t
was knocked out of his hand by one
