I'm the settlement made between
Meagher and Fergus counties last
December, our proportion of the debt
of Meagher county was placed at 3d..

gus county Jail. Thus we started out
with nothing in the treasury except
the school fund, which was not taken
into the settlement, but divided as
per the amounts standing to the credit
of each district. Our only revenue
to date has been our per cent Of the
delinquent taxes collected by the
treasurer of Meagher county and from
licenses issued. yet our treasurer has
paid warrants on the several funds
amounting to $7.170.24, and the debt

we shall have ample funds to meet

DARING ESCAPE
AT COUNTY JAIL
Continued from page ~

down town. The under sheriff was
mounted, and made all haste to the
Jail. Upon ascertaining the facts, he
left the task OF releasing Sllverthorne
to Others and with few men started
off at once in the hope Of heading off
the fugitives. They had been out
nearly 80 minutes by this time, and
had made snuch good use of their op
portunity that they could not be TO-
Gated. Martin at once communicated
with the deputies at Moore and Ken
dali, and soon had number of trusty
men circling the country. Believing
that the Jail birds would head for eth
er the Snowy mountains or the bad
lands he placed his men in such a
position as to head off their approach
TO both sections.
SiIverthorne Released.
Albert II. Klein was sent for and
was quickly at the Jail with steel cut
ting tools. In half an hour or less,
he had sawed out two bars in the west
window, and through this hole Silver
thorne emerged. He was pretty sore
about the stomach as a result OF the
kick he received, but aside from that
was all right, and within five minutes
was mounted. and in pursuit of the
fugitives.
Slater at Butte.
Sheriff l.. P. Slater was in Butte at
the time, attending the Democratic
convention, and did not know of the
escape until he read an account of it
in the papers there. Under Sheriff
Martin talked with him over the phone
Wednesday morning.
What Siiverthorne Says.
Il cannot say l am greatly surpris-
ed said Deputy Sheriff Silverthorne
after his release. THE only danger
was exposed to was through the
fact that when | went into the corri
dor there was no one outside. Still,
with all the prisoners securely locked
up except these two TRUSTEES, the dan
ger was minimiZed. | am sure the
men. in the first place. intended to
kill me, and that I really owe my life
! to the efforts of the other prisoners.
The blow in the neck did not hurt
me at all; it was the kick in the
stomach that put me out in the first
place. Just what they did to me after
that ! do not know"
Credit to Ryan and Bandy.
The conduct of Ryan especially, and
Of Bandy. is altogether to the credit
of those prisoners. Whether they ale
guilty of the offenses charged against
them or not, they certainly rendered
the officer good service in talking the
three desperadoes out of their plan
OF at least badly injuring Silverthorne.
Furthermore. when the cell door was
opened to them, and all they had to d.
was TO walk out, they refused. and lat.
er aided the deputy sheriff in getting
out of the cell and giving the alarm.
