City On Cash Basis

At a meeting of the City
Commissioners Monday evening
an arrangement was completed
whereby the city borrowed
100000 from the sinking fund
and will use it for purchasing
city water works, city general
and city street and sidewalk
warrants in the inverse order in
which they are issued. The
effect will be that for the first
time in the history Of the city,
all warrants issued will be cash.
There is a distinct saving to
the city by this method sin ce
heretofore all warrants were
discounted 10 per cent by the
purchasers who in turn drew
7 per cent additional which was
a good safe investment to be
sure, but the taxpayers have to
foot the bill.
The Commissioners also ap-
pointed Martin Ruddy, Chief of
Police until June 1st, 1914, after
which time Andrew Lean will be
appointed for the ensuing year.

The lads and lassies of the
City Schools will be very busy
bunch for the greater part of
next week, with the usual grad
uating exercises and social func-
tions which have become a part
of the closing day of the Ameri-
can schools throughout the
length and breadth Of our land.
They are indeed momentious
occasions to the large majority
of youngsters, and it is right and
proper that they should be. 1t
is distinctive characteristic of
American school life and we
older ones take a great deal of
pleasure and comfort out of it.
Beginning with next Sunday,

enthusiastic meeting Of the base

An air of considerable mystery
surrounds the liberation from
the county Jail in this city of w.
A. Riley, an ex-convict, who
served time in the federal prison
at Sioux Falls some time ago for
a murder committed at Burke,
in Gregory county, several years
ago, and who was last week ar
rested here charged with grand
larceny. At the time of his liber-
alton he was awaiting trial for
the last named offense. 1t is
stated that the sheriff had
heard rumors of an intended
attack on the Jail, but after re-
naming up for some time decid-
ed it was an idle rumor and re-
tired to his home. About two or
three o'clock in the morning,
Sunday, about 40 masked men
surrounded the jail and after
breaking the lock, entered and
took Riley from the Jail. The
details of the story, as CLEANED
from an eye witness, were that
the party entered quietly, and
after arousing Riley and assist
ing him with his wardrobe. the
latter seeming very willing and
agreeable to the change of quar-
tiers, they all departed as quietly
as they had come, after first
replacing the broken lock with a
new one brought for the purpose,
and laying the key on the step
of the Jail for the convenience of
the sheriff or marshal on their
arrival in the morning.
One of the party carried a
rope, and another of the party
remarked that they had better
hang him" or words to that effect.

Mystery In Jail
Raid AT Winner
Doubt Whether Il Was Friend or Foe That Released
Prisoner W. A. Riley Who Served Time in The
Federal Prison at Sioux Falls Some Time Ago.

The witness stated that Riley
seemed to be expecting his call
ers and before leaving the jail
drained the remains of bottle
OF whiskey, throwing the empty
bottle back on the cot. The
spokesman of the party was des-
cribed as about six feet tall.
When interviewed Sunday the
deputy sheriff claimed no know
ledge whatever of the affair,
stating that the man was a city
prisoner. this, however, the
marshal denied saying that Riley
had been turned over to the
county authorities several days
ago. A farmer living four miles
west of Winner in the old town
of Lamro, saw Riley about A
O'Clock Sunday morning. and he
stated that he had been rather
roughly handled by a crowd that
had taken him from the Jail. at
the same time showing marks of
what purported to be a rope on
his neck. However, there are
many who incline to the belief
that the prisoner was liberated
by friends who may have had a
personal interest in his escape.
Norfolk News.
s,oan Colomb, an Indian, came
to Winner Wednesday and re-
ported that Riley was at his
place, IL miles southwest of
Winner. Colomb stated that
Riley was badly used up when
he reached his place Sunday
afternoon. Riley being a sheriff's
prisoner will no doubt be re-
arrested and tried upon the
charge of larceny, upon which
he was being held when liberated
by the mob.
