taken 10 the penitentiary. AS it is he
begins his ten-year sentence over.
Owens escaped from the penitentiary
one day after he was sent there on a
murder charge ten years ago from
Taylor county.
Lived in Well.
Owens made his home AT the bottom
of a deep dry well on his farm south
of Abilene all the time the officers
were searching for him. He fixed the
well into comfortable living quarters
and was never in danger. He remained
in the well most of the daytime and
and children. Scores of times the
officers have approached the house
and searched the place. but they never
once thought of taking a trip down
into that 70-fOOt well. Owens was at
the bottom, comfortably reclining on
his bunk and smoking his pipe i'll an
underground room he had tunneled out
from the well. But as time wore on
Owens became careless. And the Off.
GERS came upon him so suddenly that
he was caught in the act of getting in
to his underground home, hauled out
and started again to the penitentiary.
II was IL years ago that Owens was
charged with murder and finally given
ten years in prison. He was a pros
porous farmer. When he arrived at
the penitentiary he was assigned TO his
cell. The following day he was miss

Arranged for Comfort.
Owens talked freely of his hiding
place at home. He said when he left
the prison he went straight home and
at once took up his abode in the old
well. He said for several months hs
