BRUCE BURGLAR
ESCAPES JAIL
Makes His Getaway While Left
Alone In Jail Cor
ridor

Charles Cox, arrested for partici-
pating in the burglary of the Bruce
Lumber & Supply Co.'S office at
Bruce, escaped from the Rusk
county Jail Thursday afternoon be-
tween and 2 80 o'clock.
SO far as known. Cox was the
sole occupant of the jail for an hour
and a half during the afternoon. The
sheriff was at Camp Douglas with
Troop B, the county judge was at
his Office in the court house, Mrs.
d. w. Maloney was out berrying
and the only inmate of the Jail, be-
sides Cox, Peter Barton, was out at
work. Undersheriff Miller was out
of town, serving papers.
How Cox made his escape is not
known. but two theories are advanced ::
he reached the key to the inner cor
ridor (the outer door was unlOckedO, !,
with the aid of broom, or some con-
federate entered the Office and un-
locked the corridor door The key to the
outer corridor door had been left on a
shelf which connects the sheriff's
office with the Kitchen, and could have
been reached with q broom which was
in the corridor:
AS soon as the escape was discov-
cred, hasty search of the neighbor-
hood was made, but without finding
any trace of the fugitive A man an
swering C0X'a description was seen go
ing east on the railroad track near the
pea cannery about o'clock. The
roads leading to the east were fol-
iowd and inquiries were made at all
of the houses. but with out the desired
result. Officers and train men in all
directions were notified of the escape
and printed descriptions OF. Cox were
given out and a reward of $50 for the
apprehension of the fugitive was
made. Up to this time Cox has not
been located.
I. A couple of strangers Eere seen back
of the jail the day Cox was transferred
from st. Mary's hospital to the Jail
Monday of last week. The day Cox
made his escape the physician who had
been attending him for his gunshot
wounds, received at the time of his
capture at Bruce, had advised that he
was not in proper physical condition
to be taken into court, SO it was he
lieved by members of the sheriff's
household that the prisoner was in no
condition to attempt an escape.

15-year-old farm boys, residing south
west of Weyerhaeuser, are in trouble

the boys repaired to the woods close
to the Balutis home and Paschika,
who was unknown to Mrs. Balutis,
went to the house and asked for
drink of water Mrs. Ralutis would
not admit him, and, becoming fright
ened over the actions of the boy, locked
the door and left the house after the
boy had returned to the woods
The boys had % rifle and one of
them a gunny sack for a mask. They
went to the house and broke in the door
and rummaged through the machine
drawer and other places, seeking the
5000. They found only Sc and a
watch.
When Mrs Balutis returned home,
she found that the house had been
robbed. Some days later she recog
MID the Paschilka lad on the road,
and told his father about the esca-
pade. She was returned the Sc which
she said had been stolen a1d also
load Of hay, for good measure. The
watch was also returned.
To add to the adventure. the boys
started on a trip toward the Boundless
West and got as far as Strickland,
where they camped for couple Of
days and nights.
The boys were allowed to return to
their homes after a hearing i'll court
here, but have been committed to the
industrial school at Waukesha.
