Three Prisoners Escape from Jail, But Quickly
Rounded Up. One Is Wounded.

the bridge. He soon saw the futility
OF trying to remain in the water for
any length of time, however. and
scrambled out when ordered to do so,
being grabbed by Dr. Donohue as he
emerged from his cold bath.
Verhassel was the only one OF the
three who made good his escape at the
time. 1t was shortly ascertained that
he had crossed the big bridge and dis
appeared on tke other side. Securing
parties were forthwith formed and be-
gan tireless search. Early the next
morning, Deputy Brigham learned that
the man sought had stopped at stipek
only short time before. He returned
to Glendive at once and reported this
fact to Sheriff Wynn, who had just
lately returned from q long country
trip, being absent at the time the
three men made their escape.
Immediately the sheriff, in company
with County Attorney Leiper and De-
putty Chas. Marrs of Jordan, took his
auto and went on the trail Of the still
missing Verhassel. He was followed
out towards Bloomfield and finally To-
Gated at a farmhouse, the sheriff and
his assistants being told on reaching
the house, that their man was inside.
VerhasseI, meanwhile, had run down
the cellar steps Of the house, and was
thence followed by Mr.. Wynn and
Mr. Leiper, Deputy Marrs, mean
while, remaining outside. The fugi-
tive in the meantime, had emerged
from the outside stairway of the eel
lar and started on run towards the
barn. Being commanded to halt, ne
paid no attention, and the sheriff and
Deputy Marrs both fired, one bullet
finding it's mark, and ;nfiicting flesh
wound, not at all serious, in Verhas-
sells side. The capture occurred
about p. m. Saturday, and by 7:3o
the party were back in the city, and
had conveyed the wounded fugitive TO
the Samaritan Hospital Only little
more than "a hours had elapsed since
the escape of three prisoners and all
were rounded up. Too much credit
cannot be given the occupants Of the
sheriff's office. They have thus early
demonstrated that they are continually

One Of the most daring jail breaks
| in the history of the county occurred
| last Friday evening about 6 80 O. clock
Those who escaped from the local bas-
| tile were VIM. Biggs, convicted of
grand larceny and sentenced to IA
years, who was merely awaiting con.
veyal to prison after settling up his
business affairs John Neel, awaiting
trial for grand larceny; and Ben Ver-
hassel, awaiting trial for burglary and
arson.
At the hour stated above Deputy
Brigham was just preparing to lock
the prisoners into the cage. Verhassel
requested that the officer wait a NOM
ent while he emptied pail Of water.
The request was acceded to, and the
errand performed. On returning, the
prisoner pulled postal from his pock-
et,sand requested that it be mailed. On
getting close TO Mr.. Brigham, Verhas-
/ sci suddenly threw his arms around
him, and at this juncture Biggs and
Nee1 also engaged in the affray. There
were a few rough moments for the Of
ficer, and he still bears the marks of
sundry bruises resulting therefrom
Contrary to report, however, he was
not thrown down, but remained rsoon
his feet throughout the affair.
Suddenly releasing their hold OF Mr..
Brigham, the three dashed for the out
side, and went out the front door of
i the courthouse. As quickly as Brigham
could get out he did SO, but saw only
Neel in sight, at whom he fred several
shots. Meanwhile the shouts Of the de-
putty had brought Mrs. Wynn, wife of
the sheriff, upon the scene, and she
lost no time in giving general alarm.
In the jail, meanwhile, a trusty had
slammed the cage door shut and pre-
vented the escape Of the other prisoners
of whom there were fivefremainiag af-
ter the exit of Biggs, Neel and Yer

Every thinking man recognizes the
fact that conditions of life in the Unit

in the memory Of men still young
But not every statesman has been able
to express his appreciation Of these
great changes as clearly and concise
Iy as did Governor Woodrow Wilson
of New Jersey in recent address
Governor Wilson said.
"Now, l take leave to believe there
is one singular question that underlies
all the other questions that are dis
cussed on the political platform at the
present moment That singular cir
cumstance is that nothing Is done in
this country as it was done twenty
years ago. The old party platforms Of
twenty years ago rend now like docu
ments taken out Of forgotten age
We are in the presence Of a new or
ganization Of society. We are eagerly
bent on fitting that new organization.
as we did once At the old organiza-

Of the great body Of citizens. for we

does not fit and provide the conven-
fence or happiness Or prosperity Of the
