young fellows made a clean-get

officers and public. The north

containing their pictures and

say they saw posted up in
different towns. And the clue

After persistent effort, con
siderable expense, and severa,
trips on false clues, Sheriff
Wyland and Deputy Mohr have
the satisfaction of again seeing
Billy Paul and Andrew Myers
in the county jail.
Paul was held on a charge OF
larceny. He first attracted
local attention by giving the
officers the slip in Miller, and
making his way out of the
county on foot and horseback
He went to New Orleans to
visit his mother, enlisted in the
navy, but soon deserted. He
drifted back TO South Dakota,

socket, and brought to Miller.
After a Jail sentence he was let
out to 60 back to the navy.
He soon came back to Hand
county and was arrested for
larceny.
Andrew Myers came to Mil,
Ter with Mr. Hart, of Buffalo
county, where he had worked
on a farm for some time. He is
charged with passing worthless
checks on Miller business houes.
He took a G.. & n. w. train at
Miller and was taken by officers
as he stepped off the train in
Chicago. He was awaiting
trial in the county Jail.
Paul is a young man of II
years, and Myers 80 years of
age. The former came to Hand
county when a young boy. and
spent some years on a farm in
Greenleaf twp. They have
travelled considerably, and have
doubtless had many adven-
lures.
Escape From Jail
These two young men plan
ned and cleverly executed a
sensational escape from the Jail
on June 9th. Deputy Sheriff
Adam Mohr permitted the
young men the use of a Jail
room during daytimes and
evening, locking them in the
steel cage before bedtime. He
usually unlocked the door, en-
tered the room, turned on the
electric bulb, chattted with the
men and locked them in the
steel cage.
As customary on the above
night he unlocked the door,
went in and reached for the
electric bulb to turn on the
light. He couldn't find it, be-
cause it had been removed.
But he did hear a noise at the
door. The men had stood sill
emily by the door until the
deputy stepped into the dark
room and reahed for the light,
when they made a dash out,
pulled the door to and tried to
lock it. They failed in this,
then made a dash through the
hall, out into the court house

He swore she should cool, and thus set
her on fire.
Edith planned neatly. She fought
hard, every other evening, with her
