The Last Bird Has Flown
For a brief while close of last week
Red Willow countys jail was without a
prisoner the last prisoner having taken
advantage of the numerous opportuni
ties thrust upon him and bid the jail a
fond goodbye and farewell and gone
hence at least elsewhere just how and
when is not real definitely known It
is at least known that he did not break
out Whether he got away while out in
care of the jailer or whether he in
some manner secured the keys or a
friend for him may not ever be definitely
known But Clarence Gill charged
with attempted murder is at liberty so
far as the jail of Red Willow county is
concerned and there is small concern
about the details It is sufficient to say
that he could easily have made his es
cape at other times had ho thought it
wise
Perhaps this incident would not of
itself attract much attention or com
ment but jail deliveries in Red Willow
county under the present sheriff have
become the established rule We are
informed that out or oignt prisoners
placed in his keeping eight only have
escaped This is a record perhaps never
equalled before in this state It is a
record of which Sheriff Crabtree can
hardly be proud and which is a disgrace
to this county
