Two Prisoners Escape.

Oliver Womack and Charles White
escaped from the county Jail last
night. They unlocked the door to
their cell and took a 25-foot drop
from an upstairs window. AS the
lock on the cell was not broken or
injured, they must have either solv-
ed the mystery of the locksmith or
received outside help. Both prisoners
have so far eluded the officers, but
a diligent search is being made.
Womack had served all but % days
of a 55-day sentence for stealing a
watch from Councilman F. NJ. Jump,
and White had been under arrest but
two lays on the charge of stealing
S67.50 from J.. A. Carter, a fellow
workman at the Acme cement plant.
White had been bound over to the
grand jury the day before, and al
the papers had beef made out for
an effort to secure his release on a
writ of habeas corpus. Ennis Post.
county prisoner, was in the
same cell with the two who escaped,
but he slept through h delivery. At
least, he was in the unlocked cell
this morning when Jailor Young
made the rounds.

Adjourned Session of District Court.

An adjourned session of the district
court was held in Julesburg last
Thursday night between the hours of
1000 p. IN. and , 90 a. m. Court was
convened for the purpose of hearing
the arguments for new trial in the
case of G. H. Insrum, convicted of a
criminal assault upon Emm;. Will
liams, Il sixteen year old girl. The
hours chosen for the hearing were
those when most good citizens were
abcd, and were evidently selected so
that there might be as little incon-
venience as possible experienced by
the attorney for the defense: likewise
for the Judge and other parties from
Logan county who were present.
Judge Armour arrived in town on
the 9.4Op. m. train and court was con-
vened shortly afterwards in the county
judges Office. The prisoner. Ingrum,
was brought down from Sterling by
the sheriff of Logan county: Cne Lo-
gan county attorney represented the
defendant: another Logan county at
torney was appointed by the court to
represent .,the Observation-Disclosures
Attorney Pound being out of town
and Logan county judge heard the
arguments in the application for a
HtW uFidl. hu Gile ClOSe ol tlle dtSu-
ments, the judge granted 4 new trial
and fixed the date therefor upon the
first day OF the regular session in
May. The prisoner was then returned
to Logan county by the Logan county
sheriff, to await the coming of his
second trial.
We are not we'll verscd in court
procedure, but it seems to us that it
would have been as we'll to have taken
IL step further and held the session in
Logan county. Sedgwck county
would then have been saved the ex-
pense of paying the railroad fare of
the prisoner, the Logan county sher-
if, the Logan county attorney, and
the court stenographer to Julesburg.
and all concerned would have been
spared the Inconvenience of a mid
night session Of court.
We have heretofore had the impress
sion that Sedgwick county was at one
time cut off from Logan county and
made u separate county, but possibly
our impression of the matter was en-
roneous Sedgwick county seems yet
to be sort of an appendix of Logan
county.
