Aberdeen George Dively and An
dfe" Parker, two prisoners confined
IN the Perkins county Jail at Bison,
maze their escape from that institu-
tlon by saving through an iron bar
by means of silver knife and then
prylng off a bar which held the outer
door to the Jail. The escape was eff
fected between 1880 and 8 o'clock at
night, as Deputy Sheriff Ellefson had
been absent from the Jail but that
time. and upon returning at 3. he
found the cell empty and the prisoners
gone.

81 years old, 5 feet inches in height,
blue eyes, light curly hair and light
mustache, weighing about 165 pounds,

1t is believed the prisoners had
outside help to enable them to make
their getaway, as no trace has been
found of them.
Mrs. Andrew Parker, wife of one OF
the prisoners, spent the day they es.
capped in Bison, and it is thought she
may have aided them. She was placed
under arrest but later released, as no
evidence connecting her with the es.
cape could be brought to light.
