charging In an open letter to the school

AFFAIRS At SOUTH OMAHA
Sam Lawrence, Janitor at City Jail,
Prevents a Jail Delivery.
HOLE BATTERED IN THE WALL
Almost Large Enough to Allow Men
to Crawl Through When Observed
by Lawrence and the Police
Notified.

Sam Lawrence, the negro janitor of the
city Jail building, prevented jail delivery
yesterday afternoon. when the prisoners
lacked but moment of gaining their
liberty.
In the Jail were three prisoners all
charged with major offenses. They were
W. Dewitt White, for robbery IN Sioux
City; Ralph Piper. fugitive, sentenced to
a term in the state reformatory, and Max,
Barosky, wanted in Concordia, Kan, for
forgery In the old Jail the men were all
in the large room and apparently they
conspired together and had friends on the
outside. They secured a crowbar with
which they attacked the wall on the south
near the steel cage Lawrence from the
engine room heard them hammering 'on
the wall early in the day and called the
chiefs attention TO the noise. Chief Briggs
went into the room. but failed TO discover
the attack on the wall. The prisoners
had hung a piece OF canvas over the
breach. In the dim light the chief over
looked the break.
About 4 p. m. yesterday Lawrence again
had occasion 10 pass through the boiler
room just as the break was being widened
to let the men through. He heard brick
fall and saw the end OF the crowbar come
through He shouted TO alarm the pris-
oners and they scampered away from their
work He then called the officers out OF
the jail and showed them the break in
the walls The hole was large enough for
a small man TO get through, but none had
yet tried IL. Any one OF the three is said
20 have charges 10 face which would make
a chance to escape a great temptation.

Seaman farm, about one mile east of the
Iowa School for the Deaf, yesterday morn
ing Harry F. Pierce Of this city recently
purchased the place and moved onto 1t
about a month ago. The entire contents of
the house and the barn were destroyed.
The loss Is estimated at about $500, which
II was stated win not be quite half covered
by the insurance. Mr.. Seaman's loss is
considerable, as he had not removed all
OF his belongings from the place.
The origin OF the fire is a mystery. II
started in the hayloft OF the barn, a com
paratively new structure. which cost $1,000
By the time il was discovered It had gained
such headwsy that there was no way to
check II. Driven by a strong wind. the
Flames soon communicated to the dwelling
house, and 1t was soon seen that this build
ing was also doomed. The stock was gotten
out Of the barn, but considerable new farm
machinery, purchased by Mr.. Pierce a few
days ago, was entirely consumed. But
little OF the household effects were saved
The only solution OF the origin OF the
Are is that It may have been started by
