Eoyds car, in which he fed, but to
no avail.
Make Search for Graves.
Another squad combed every inch
OF the surrounding alfalfa field tor
traces of possible graves OF other
OF Grimes victims. They think he
may have killed his partner, absent
from the place several weeks.
The big cache OF loot found in the
Grimes shed has not been identified.
Deputies believe part OF the tools
and hardware found may be that
stolen from the c. Z. Chamberlin
shop in Elkhorn, Neb., lately.
Breaks His Bonds.
Before leaving the place Grimes
picked up everything within reach of
Boyd which might be used in an ef-
>rt to break the chains, or pry them
-nsc.
IS soon as he was out of sight,
ID cast about, seeking anything
h which he might free himself.
e could see nothing, but he began
searching with the toe OF his shoe,
kicking up the dust.
After a good many minutes of this,
his toe struck something hard which
gave way. STOPPING to brush away
the dirt, he uncovered screw-driver
which his captor had overlooked.
Seizing it eagerly, he attacked the
paddock holding his chains. He
could not break the paddock, but
succeeded in bending it. He then
turned his efforts to the heavy chain,
bending his full strength against one
link.
Blind to the pain to his wrists
caused by his frantic struggle to get
free before that william should return,
and spurred in his efforts by the
sight Of that yawning grave, he sue
ceeded in prying up the link.
But in so doing, he painfully lacer-.
ated his wrists and fractured one OF
the knuckles of his left hand.
AS soon as he was .loosed, Boyd
cried to the girls, still manacled in the
upstairs room of the. garage, that ne
was going for help.
Seeks Aid.
"Ill be back as soon as can,' he
called to them and started on hi
search for succor.
It was yearly dusk by this time,
he believes, and the desperate hat
gone downtown about 5.
Boyd ran for half a mile, until h
came to the farm home of Georg'
OFT, and there called. the Office 0.
Sheriff Mike Clark by telephone.
Deputies Charles Hoye, P. J
Welch, Nick Halter, and V. D.
Quackenbush armed themselves
leaped into an automobile and mad
their way to the scene.
Boyd led them to the garage
where they found the girls, weak
from lack Of food and water, and ex'
hausted from the nerve strain.
Break Into Tears.
They burst into tears at the sigh
OF their rcscuers.
The man who had imprisoned then
had not been back, they said. Thi
was after $50.
Acting on the word of the miss
ing man who had told Boyd HI
would "be back soon." the deput,
sheriffs busted themselves about tn
place, preparing to spend the nigh
there if necessary, to capture tn,
desperado when he should return.
They made the girls as comfort
able as possible and then turne,
their attention to a careful searcl
of the place.
Autos Found.
Several automobiles, which the,
are sure were stolen, were found.
Automobile accessories in larg
numbers. also were found, as wei
as all kinds of tools and clothing
FIVE guns, chewing gum, candy an
cigars-all loot from Omaha burg
laries and robberies, the officers ar
confident.
They estimate the value of th;
loot at $4,000.
Yesterday morning. after an q
night wait in vain for the desperado
return, the officers brought the twt
girls and Boyd to the county jail.
Takes Victims Car.
The man escaped in the new For,
touring car belonging to Boyd.
