PRISONERS ESCAPE
FROM COUNTY JAIL

Last Sunday morning about 3 o'clock
when night patrolman Drew had Oc
casion to awake Deputy Sheriff Thomp
son from peaceful slumber in his
couch over the sheriff's office, to ad
nit two prisoners to the county
Jail, it was discovered that there had
been IA Jail break. Sheriff Simmons
was sent for and an investigation
and a counting of prisoners revealed
the absence of three prisoners who had
easily gained their liberty by the break
ing Of one door lock and the opening
|of three or four iron doors with the
aid of key and escaping through the
basement door on the south side of the
Jail. After passing through the outer
door they relocked it on six or seven
prisoners, some of whom were asleep
when the sheriff discovered the Jail
break, and none of them would admit
to any knowledge of the flight or it's ar
raEgrnCnt.
Sheriff Simmons got busy with his
deputies and soon discovered that the
three escaped prisoners had taken a
|r"rihcrly course, and he had posses out
in all directions as soon as possible.
The escaped prisoners are: Ray Hem
Ofee, anu w. l.. west. VINO are charged
with grand larceny. They killed beef
on the highway near Mackay and
brought the carcass to Blackfoot,
where the officers nave discovered
where they sold the hide and meat to
private parties. The other escape is w.
M. Burton, who is charged with the
crime Of rape. The Bingham County
Cattle Association have offered re-
ward of $1,000 for the capture of the
lcattle thieves, and Bingham county a
; reward of 5000 for the capture Of the
trio.
Deputies Thompson, Damn, and
special deputy Jos. LaCour, were sent
to the Lost River country, where Hem
bree and West hail from and where
they committed the crime for which
they were under arrest. Other posses
were sent in other directions.
During the day Sheriff Simmons
was informed that the fugitive prison
ers were seen around the Porterville
bridge, where they visited several farm
houses and got firearms, ammunition

DEMOCRATS WANT

tative citizens of Blackfoot met at
the city hall for the purpose Of placing
a citizens or non-political ticket in the
field for the coming election, which
takes place April 9th.
The meeting was called to order by
Jack Darcy, who placed w. II. Beak-
ley in nomination for chairman, and
that gentleman was unanimously elect
ed. S. l.. Reece was the choice of the
meeting for chairman.

vas their respective wards and ascer-
tain the sense Of the people in regard
to strictly non-partisan or citizens
ticket for the coming election, with a
view of getting the best men possible
to act as city officials. The motion
which was seconded by Marcus Blenkle
met with unanimous approval.
The chairman appointed the follow
ing committees:
First Ward-James Martin, l.. M.
Capps and G. v. Evans.

Reece and w. F. Martin.
Third Ward-G. l.. Brawley, w. G.

a mass meeting be held next Monday
night at 8 o'clock to nominate the men
selected by the ward COMMITTEES for
councilmen and city officials.
Jack D. Arcy said that the meeting ia
him had the appearance of a Demo
cratic affair, as there was no Re
publicans present and but few silent
Bull Moosers. He also made an undis
puted statement that it would be i'm
possible for the Democrats to elect a
| ticket without the aid of the Other
parties, whose support of a citizens
ticket is expected to be received at the
mass meeting.

and the delegates proceeded to ballot
which resulted as follows, Good 13,
Ezell 8.
Jas. Duckworth placed Mrs. S. f.
Sill in nomination for city treasurer
and her nomination was finally made
by acclamation.
For city engineer J. G. Bond placed
in nomination the name of James
Young. the present incumbent, whom
he referred to as an experienced, re-
liable man for the place. Delegate Beebe
seemed to have no objection to Mr..
Young. cat did not like the idea of a
Republican convention nominating a
Democrat. After some discussion along
party lines it was concluded by the
convention not to nominate candidate
for the office of city engineer.
Councilmen.
The following residents and tax pay
ers of the City of Blackfoot were
recommended by their respective wards
to represent the city as councilmen:
First Ward-C. G. Clark, and R. E.
Hansen.
Second Ward-Nofear Davis, and
Fred Pelkey.
Third Ward-Chas. Pelkey and C. F.
Smith. There was vacancy caused in
this ward by the former nominee
positively refusing to serve.
Fourth Ward-John H. Bond and a
w. .. Allen, but the latter not being a
taxpayer vacancy was declared in
this ward.
On motion of r. j. Dygert all of the
above nominations were ratified by the
lconvention.
On motion of Mayor West the city
central committee was empowered to
fill any vacancies that has or may oc
cur on the ticket
The convention was very harmon
ious affair, and it is generally conceded
that it has picked some of the very
best men in Blackfoot to administer the
lefty government after the present ad
ministration has completed its very
creditable service.

FIRE PARTIALLY
DESTROYS HOUSE

Yesterday afternoon the fire depart
ment was called out by blaze in the
roof of Edward Thoreson s residence
on University avenue. Mrs. Thoreson
was not home when the fire was dis
covered by neighbors who gave the
alarm, and there is said to have been
no fires in the house at the time. There
are several reasons advanced for the
origin of the fire, one of which is the
common theory in all eases of unac-
countable fires, that of defective elec-
tric wiring. The damage done the furni-
ture is fully insured by c. S. Beebe,
and the damage to the house will be
about $500, which is insured by a Po-
catellO agent.

and food. On learning that they were
camped about three miles up the Black
foot river at house occupied by a
man named Chapman, Sheriff Simmons
had the place shadowed, and about 10
O'Clock Monday night, accompanied by
Ferdinand Fackrell, Dave Chamberlain,
Roy Clark, and Tom Hall, proceeded in
that direction. When near the Porter
vile bridge Fackrell and Chamberlain
saw Burton wandering around in the
sagebrush, apparently in quest of his
pals and mistook the officers for them.
Fackrell covered him with a gun and
commanded him to surrender which he
did. just about the time that Burton
was captured, Hembree and West made
their appearance and were fired upon
by Chamberlain, and several shots were
exchanged before the outlaws again
disappeared. One of the bullets is said
to have struck Fackrcll in the left ankle
and disabled him, but he held on to his
prisoner until Chamberlain relieved him,
and brought the prisoner to Jail
just who shot Fackrell is still a
question. Fackrell believes Burton did
it, but Sheriff Simmons and others who
were on the scene say he did not, but
that the wound was caused by bullet
from gun in the hands of either Hem
bree or West who fired at the officer
from distance of about 100 yards.
The bullet that wounded the deputy
passed through the trousers of his right
leg and struck the left ankle, so badly
shattering the bones that amputation
was necessary and the operation was
performed yesterday in the local hospi-
tai.
There is no doubt but that the prison
ers were assisted in their flight from
the Jail by friends from the outside, but

SPEAKS WE'LL OF BLACKFOOT

Mr.. Callahan Of Colorado, the
travelling auditor of the chain of
Golden Rule stores, was in Blackfoot
last Friday on official business. He
said that there seemed TO be a stringen
cy of money in Idaho and other states
at the present time, but that in Black
foot it was less apparent than in an,
small city on his line of travel. He
said that he found business in the local
Golden Rule store better than he ex-
pected. and that Manager Ryan was
more than pleased with the present
business which he believed was on the
increase.

Ralph Adair made the first nominal
ing speech in which he paid high
tribute to Mayor West and his council
men, to whom he said the city owes a
debt of gratitude for their able, eco
nomical and satisfactory services. In
nominating E. T. Peck, for mayor, Mr..
| Adair referred to him as a business man

of experience as councilman most
eminently fitted him for mayor. Mr..

motion Of G. V. Fisher, the nomination
was made by reclamation.
