PROSPECT HILL

To be snow bound is to be shut
in from the busy, feverish world
and consequently hoodwinked IS
to social functions or business
transactions. In fact our road is
under a snow embargo. with one
exception. The Hollander boys
have converted their true Ameri-
can automobile into a snow plow
and cleared the road from Chey-
enne wells to Prospect Hill. This
effort was made necessary by rea
son of their one-hundred and fifty
head of fine heifers quartered
here, which they are under ne
cessity of feeding twice a day.
In this Providential way we are
in limited degree kept in touch
with the good people of the town
especially with the printer and
his pal.
Now you see by the dearth of
of News herein observed. what a
calamity to our country it would
be, and to each individual in par
ticular in particular, if all the
avenu s of news were snow bound
or so congested by unfore seen
obstacles, that we could not
know what our next neighbor
was doing. or what was going on
in the great out side world. Of
course such a state of things
might take a prudential turn and
have the effect Of squirting up
the fellow who was in arrears
with his paper. to rush in and IL
quidate his debt and urge a
speedy delivery of the good news
paper which of course stands in
need of financial stimulous like

cape. The struggle took place in
the ma row space between the
cell and the wall which enabled
the officer to avoid the attack
from all the men at tie same
time.
By fortunate twist the dep
uty got the finger of Nivon's
right hand in his mouth. Nivon
is a Kentuckyian and prides him
self in knowing no danger. Morse
held to the finger which prevent
ed Nivon from using his right
arm. He felt he was struggling
with desperate characters and
was merciless in his treatment of
he men. Nivon bled profusely
and Rosencranz lay heaped up in
a corner from kick that he re-
ceived from the officer.
Finally Deputy Morse gave the
men such treatment after twenty
minutes that the prisoners pulled
toward the cell. The officer got
some satisfaction in following the
Kentuckian with a screwdriver
which he happened to have in
his pocket which he drove into
the back of the defeated prisoner
as he sent him into the cell. The
weapon also conquered the other
men.
The attention of Martin Green
was called to the cell during the
fight by the screaming and yell
ing of Rosencranz who was pain
ed from the. kick he got. Green
saw Sheriff Lamb coming out of
his home ard called to him. The
sheriff was unable to get into the
Jail as Morse had locked it behind
him as he entered. Morse had
his men landed in the cell before
he could open the door.
Deputy Morse was easily able
to be about the street this morn
ing and told the story of the
bloody battle. He looked as
though he had been up against all
he claimed. Morse thinks there
was one time the blood of the
Kentuckian tasted pretty good

Prisoners Try to Escape
From Jail.

Last night while attending the
prisoners in the county Jail, Dep
uty Sheriff Morse was attacked
by three of the prisoners and mar
rowly escaped fatal consequence
AS it was he received considera-
BILE bruises about the face and
head while the prisoners fared

Deputy Moase believes the at
tack was. deliberately planned.
At half past five O'Clock he went
to-the Jail, as is his custom. to
attend the men, When he enter
ed the Jail the men who were
locked in the inner cell complain
ed about couple of buckets that
appeared a little unsanitary from
garbage they held.
Although Deputy No .se hadr.'c
had the cell door op an for a cou-

the buckets. At once Chas. Nj
Won, the man who is lodged for
having stolen the Preston car
and who knocked down the sh ~
iff of Cheyenne county besides
giving a lot of trouble to other
officers, struck Deputy Morse.
Evidently he expected to get the
officers revolver and the keys
with which Morse locked the Jail
door behind him as he entered
the Jail.
The two other prisoners were

The most of the cases of sick

there are few absent from the

the measles and cold weather
have been demoralizing to school
