where Drs. Kell, Swisher and Jeffrey
dressed, probed and cleansed his
wound, which was found to be serious
but not necessarily fatal. The bull

Brown was fully conscious all the
time but weak and defiant. The Re-

with Neugnsr, the photographer, to
take pictures OF Brown, and as soon

Mise iassFAfal
A. sosn -ss-t the bandit realized
what waA going IN he closed his eyes
and refu1od 10 open them. Finally
Warden Nadsen- partially solved the
problem BY telling Brown that If he
would be good and open his eyes he
should have \ big drink Of real
WH6bey. N}aAt this the man opened
his eyes and the camera snapped.
The warden's promise was kept to
tho letter and the generous portion
was drained with gusto to the last
drop. Dr.. Ke11, who was at the time
acting prison physician, then an
nounced that Brown had better than
an ever chance to live and that the
wound, although presenting posi-
bilities of dangerous complications,
had fortunately been made with a
clean steel bullet, thereby reducing
the danger Of infection to a mini
mum.
Prepared for Siege.
Brown was found to have a plenti-
full supply of everything which he
would need for a long sojourn in the
mountain fastness which he had
chosen with criminal cunning. He
had provisions and ammunition Of all
kinds. rs gallons of gasoline, several
revolvers and a rifle which he had
stolen en- route, but no shells. This
vas a matter of keen regret to
Brown after his capture. He said
that there was no use trying to get
anywhere on an expedition such as
he was engaged in without a rifle,
and that II he had been thus equip
ped he would either gotten away or
had the company of some of the Of
ficers at the hospital.
The desperate man had, however.
provided himself with some shot
gun shells from which he had re-
moved the shot and substituted 20
caliber bullets, which, had he been
able to use them. would have no
doubt added to the list of victims
which are alleged to have marked the
brief but lurid career of Brown as
as an all around bad man. 1t Is the
general opinion of all that the Oma-
ha desperate did not intend to be
taken alive and it Is only the fact
that he was surprised at daybreak
in a remote place where he felt he
was safe. that made him the sole
victim Of the encounter.

State Sheriff Hyers Of Nebraska

OF the penitentfary at Lincoln. and
both were loud in their praises of
the wyoming officers and the
hearty cooperation which they gave
in the man hunt. Both Nebraska
men expressed themselves strongly
on this point, saying that without
the nerve. ability and craftsmanship
OF Wyoming men the fugitive would
undoubtedly have made his getaway,
as he had chosen Q section of the
country particularly suited to his
purpose. Brown, or Grimes, is
known to have served three terms in
the penitentiary. two in Nebraska
and n In Iowa. The story of his

hospital, covers his history infinitely
since he first came into police prom
inence in Omaha less than a month
ago:
This trouble all started at Ohaha
and in the following manner: One
night when, / vas at a tough Omaha
joint, known IS the Gardens "a
Black and Tan resort IT met a
woman who informed me that she
was single and that she was look
ing for a good time. She accom-
panied me to my home, and many
times for three or four months, she
made appointments and visited with
me. I did not know her name, but
later found that her mama; was Mrs.
Roy jenkins. At one TINA this
woman took me to visit her SLATER,
who lives about Twenty-seSonf Bfseet,
n block north of Ames street. My
affair with this woman was such as
might be expected with q woman
that would solicit dates ut q place
such as the Gardens. After visiting
me several times this woman brought
q friend to my house and they pro-
ceeded to make themselves at home.
While they were in the house I was
outside digging q cess pool. On re-
turning to the house quietly I saw
that the two women had been snoop-
