John Coats, man who escaped
from an insane asylum in far west
ern state has made hos way to this
section, having a sister living in
trouble and is still at large. He ap-
peared in Belvidere, where he he was
located at the ]. O. Thomas boarding
house. He was asked to come down
but replied by sending a bullet
through the door over the officers
heads and with the statement that he
would hurt them if not let alone until
morning, when he would see them. AS
he was armed with a repeating rife
a heavy revolver and plenty of am
munition, it was thought best to wait
until morning rather than start an
argument, but during a wind and rain
storm about 4 a. m. the next day he
escaped through the window of the
and disappeared. Officers are still
searching for him. His sister mott
fed them to look out for themselves
as he is reputed to be a dead shot
from long practice in the mining re-
glons of the West and would surely
shoot to kill if brought into close
place. His. mania seems harmless
