BROKE JAIL.
Four Prisoners in ho City Depart
ment Depart.
This morning when jailor Malick open
ed the jail and entered he was considerably
surprised ut the condition of tilings. The
heavy lock on the city department of the
jit.il was gone, having been broken off,
and four of the prisoners, Jack Picrsoll,
Frank Dickson, Thos. Shelby and Wm.
Packard, were not present, mid the open
scuttle hole above told the way of their
escape.
The bars of the city part extend to the
ceiling and by means of these the prison
ers, after breaking from the inclosurc,
easily reached the scuttle hole and thus
made their escape. The lock was large
mid powerful and how the men succeeded
in breaking it is not exactly known, and
they took it and their tools with them
Mr. Malick i in mediately notified the sheriff
and gave the alarm. It was ut first sup
posed they had boarded an early freight
and made a good escape but about 0
o'clock this morning Picrsoll turned up
and placed himself in the bands of the
ollicers and made a confession. lie came
in from Mr. Thomas'1 west of town and
said Dickson was there, but intended to
go to Stull's and get his clothing and
skip, and that the other two, Shelby and
Packard, had started on foot toward Ne
braska City, He also stated that they made
their escape from jail about 1 a. in.
At about 10:30 deputy sheriff James
Sage left for tho country to look for
Dickson, and sheriff Eikenbary started
on a chase after Shelby and Packard.
Picrsoll and Dickson were serving
out sentences and would have been liber
ated next Friday and Saturday, but Shel
by and Packard were awaiting trial on
the charge of grand larceny,having stolen
hogs in the west part of the county and
sold them in Lincoln. If caught, find
they probably will be if Picrsoll told the
truth, the last two named will likely get
a term in the pen. Another prisoner in
the city department who was serving a
term which expired this morning, very
wisely remained in jail and waited for
the law to liberate him.
The escape of the men is due to the
carelessness of no one, and cannot be
blamed to any bodv, for the night watch
was discharged when the prisoners were
taken to Lincoln.
This is the first jail-break here of re
cent date and is of small calibre, com
pared to the one which was so nobly
foiled last summer when the jail was
crowded with criminals.

Council Doings.
City council met last night in regular
scsssion, with all the members present
except Mr. Murphy. The minutes of the
last two meetings were read and approv
ed.
"'An invitatiom from the Nebraska San-
gerfest to the mayor and city council
invitinr them to take part in the
grand torch-light procession on the even
ing otUct. 4th. which will be the open
ing of their grand 6angerfest of Oct, 4,
5, and C. It was read and accepted.
A communication from the Turner,
Clark & Rauson company in answer to
one from the committee on fire and water,
concerning the competion of the setliug
basins, said there was nothing in the con
tract which called for any special way in
which the basins should be finished, but
the company's man would soon be here to
cement them. Mr. White said it was so
that the council had made an oversight
in not compelling the company to com
pletc the basins in any special manner,
but the contract did call for good and
wholesome water, and they could refuse
to pay the company a cent till the water
was made good.
The bill of O. M. Strcight for $7.50,
for boarding horses for pound master.
was again presented and again ruled out
as the pound master was to pay the ex
pense of the keeping the stock himself,
and collect tho same from the owners.
City attorney Clark, reported that he
had a letter from Dr. Biscll and that the
doctor said he would look into things,
and if he had received any money on the
high school bond judgment, he would
pay it over to the city.
The finance committee reported in
favor of the following bills, and they
were allowed: Richey Bros., lumber
$78.32; Adolph Girold, $10; Fred
Krcohler, $ ; Osker Hull, labor $16.50;
Geo. Humphrey, labor $16.50; Clark, la
bor, $9; M. L. Beaver, labor, $30; John
Janda, labor, $6; M. W. Morgan, labor,
$40.50.
On motion of Mr. Greusel, the clerk
was authorized to draw warrants for the
payment of the mayor and councilmcn
for their salaries for the last six months.
The judiciary committee presented two
ordinances which were read three times
and passed under a suspension of the
rides. The first provided for the tras
ferring of $700 from the Chicago avenue
land fund to the business, or occupation
fund, while the second transferred the
$700 from there to the Thos. Mitchell
judgment fund. Mr. Greusel stated the
object of transferring the money to the
occupation fund was, that last May about
$1400 had been borrowed from there to
ay the $2000 on the Chicago avenue
bonds, and the transfer to the Mitchell
)iid fund was to cut down the $1200 on
which the city is now paying interest.
The committee on fire and water re
ported 00 feet additional to the 2400
already ordered, of water mains on Lin
coln avenue, would be necessary to give
good protection to the B. fc M. lumber
yards and advised the laying thereof.
The report was accepted. Here Mr.
Greusel stated he had reliable informa
tion that, the water company would lay
the mains on the avenue and on 11th and
Granite streets this month.
Mr. White asked, it the lamp post
which was recently broken down on the
corner of Cth and Vine streets hud been
settled for. He was told it had not.
A discussion then took place, on the
location of the public drinking fountains,
and it was finally decided they should be
placed, one on 3rd street, south of Main,
the other on Cth, north of Main; the ex
act location to be decided by the tire and
water committee.
Mayor Simpson said he had yesterday
taken thu liberty to sign a note for $000,
a payment on our hose and fire aparatus,
which had been ordered made last June,
and he had given it to treasurer Water
man, and ordered it sent to New York.
The council approved of his action.
Mayor Simpson then appointed Ben
Heinplc as pound master, and the ap
pointment was confirmed by the council.
The mayor then called attention to the
necessity of another regular policeman at
night, and stated that the marshal and
three police, two, of whom were specials
appointed during the fair and had not
yet been dismissed, were now on duty
Mr. Dutton moved another regular night
policaman be employed at a salary of
$40 per mouth, which motion passed.
On motion of Mr. Greusel, the salary
of night policeman John Fitzpatriek was
raised $5 more per month. Mr. Simpson
said he would try and find a good man
to-day and put him on duty this evening
and discontinue the two specials.
Mr. Weber then stated that the owner
of the Fairfield property was complain
ing that the street railway blocked him
in, and that it caused the water of rains
to flood his celar; and he threatened a
suit for damages unless someting was
done. Mr. Dutton answered, by saying,
the Fairfield place was below grade, and
as the track was at grade no damages
could be gotten. The discussion closed
with instructions to the committee on
streets, alleys and bridges to look into
the matter with power to act.
On motion council adjourned.
