Soper Breaks Jail.
Soper, the Deupl county horBe
thief, who was confined in the
county jail in this city for safe
keeping, made his escape Tuesday
night some time between the hour
of twelve and two o'clock. Soper
was confined iu one of the fateel
cells, the lock of which was slightly
out ol repair. By means of a strong
string which he succeeded in hook
ing around the blot of the lock he
managed to pull back the slot and
gain an entrance into the main
room. Once there Jie had an easy
exit to the outside, as plumbers, in
fixing a sewer, had left a hole
through the floor and under the
foundation.
Early the following morning
Sheriff Carpenter found his man
missing and at once wired authb,
ttles in adjoining towns to he. on
the watch for the fugitive, and al&o
began making a thorough search
of the city and the railroad yards,
but up to last evening had recevied
no clew.
The other prisoners in jail prirr
to Soper's escape was a demented
man and young Parcel!, but about
eleven o'clock Parcell was taken
home by his father iu order that
the mother and father might talk
to him, the father standing good
for his sate return. The demented
mail says that he heard Soper and
yodng Parcell concoct the plan of
escape.
