Two brothers named .Jorsenscn, in
Jail at Nevada. Story county, for break.
ing and entering, planned to slug Sher.
III Ricketts, and escape. Ono of the
men was to be doubled up on the floor
OF the Jail in apparent agony when the
evening meal was brought in and the
other was to strike the sheriff with a
poker us he stopped down to minister
unto the afflicted prisOned. Another
prisoner heard the laying Of the plan SO
when Mrs. Ricketts, brought dinner he
handed her Il book, thanking her very
kindly for loaning 1t to him and then
told her that he had marked para
graph on page 26 that appealed to him
as the best thing IN the book. Mrs.
Ricketts, had never loaned the fellow a
book but she did as requested and open.
ed the book on page 26 and there she
found note from the friendly prisoner
telling of theN proposed jail delivery.
She turned the note over to her nus,
band and that night he took the eve
ming meal to the prisoners as was his
custom and sure enough one of the men
was sprawling upon the floor apparent
" in the greatest agony. The other
brother was making a pretense at help
ing him to his feet. Lying on the floor
nearby was a poker. The sheriff en-.
tered the cell with revolver in hand;
picked up the poker and commanded
the suffering impostor to get up or he
would put a hole through him. The
prisoners were locked in separate cells
and are now feasting on bread and wa
ter. The prisoner who gave the snap
away would probably be murdered if
the Jurgensens could get to him.
