ESCAPES ON WAY TO PRISON..
Horse Thief Gains His Freedom
While Guard Is Temporarily Absent.

Deadwood, S. D.. June 26. Mic
Rose, the horse thief who was cap
tured after violent resistance near
DeadWCod a few weeks ago, is again at
liberty He escaped from the train
near Worthington, Mimi, while en-
route to the state penitentiary at
Sioux Falls.
He had been arrested after he had
held the officers at a point Of a gun,
and after they had threatened to burn
the house in which he had secreted
himself, charged with the larceny of
ponies belonging to the Ute Indians.
He was sentenced to a term in the
~penitentiary and was on his way to be
gin his sentence when he successfully
effected his freedom.
The officer in whose charge he was
had left him for only a few moments,
