Wednesday marked the twenty- second anniversary of one of the most thrilling events in the history of the state when three desperate criminals made their escape from the Nebraska state prison at Lincoln after slaying three of the prison officials and for several days were ae large. The prisoners were "Shorty" Gray, the leader. John Dowd, bank robber who had been sent to the pen from Cass county for robbery at Wabash and Charels Morley. The outbreak occurred at 2:15 in the afternoon when a blinding snowstorm was rag ing, the men securing weapons and in making their escape killed War den James Delhunt, Usher A. C. Heil man and Deputy Warden Wagner and wounding Cellhosue Keeper Doody. In the snowstorm the men made their way while the posses of men were forming and were able to find shelter at a farm house where they held the family in fear until the. next day. They then made their way into Cass county, breaking into a store at Murdock where clothing was se cured a3 well as other supplies and they made their escape on a hand ear, going north qn the Rock Island in the direction pi Omaha. Posses were formed in 11 of the counties to close in on the desperate men wno were making their way toward Om aha. Sheriff Quinton of Cass county or ganized a large posse from this city i which was hurried into Sarpy coun ty to assist in the manhunt but the paity headed by John Briggs, South j Omaha chief of police, was the one that contacted the men. The trio of convicts, hard pressed, j visited the farm home of Roy Blunt, j a young man living near Gretna, forcing him at the point of a gun to! hitch up and drive them toward Om- j aha in a wagon. When the posse3 j came in sight of the wagon a run- j ning battle was staged by the men and the officers and in which Blunt, innocent victim, was killed as was Gray, the ringleader. John Dowd, seeing that capture was near shot himself and Morley was the only one taken alive and is today the oldest prisoner in years of service at the state penitentiary. J At the time of the outbreak Mont Robb of Union was steward at the penitentiary and was acting head of the prison for some time, restoring order in the prison. From Friday's Daily George Bates, one . of the promin ent resident of near Weeping Water was in the city today to spend a few hours attending to some matters of business and visiting with friend3.

'Mil Soy Kidnaped 40 Years Ago Finds Father George Thompson Tells How Ab ductors Spirited Him Away; Lured by Marbles. Sterling, 111., March 1C. A son, kidnaped as he played in his grand mother's yard at Sterling 40 years ago, has been reunited with the father he long believed dead. The story of his tragic infancy was told Friday by George C. Thomp son, now a Western Union Telegraph Co. employe at Chicago, as he met his 70-year-old father this week. Charles Thompson, the father, is a pensioner of the International Harvester Co. and a Sterling resident for 69 years. So vivid were his experiences as a child that the son recalled clearly the details of his kidnaping. When he was but an infant his mother deserted the family. As he was playing in the yard one day, when 4 years old, a stranger showed him some bright marbles. The boy was so attracted that he followed the man several blocks. Suddenly the stranger seized him, stifled his cries with a shawl over his head, placed him in a buggy and drove away. At the edge of Rock shawl was lifted and George discov ered his mother with the stranger she died two years later. In that same year, George being 6, he was run over by a cable car and lost one leg. Cared for In an endowment home, he lost track of relatives and was al ways told "Daddy is dead." . Later he got in touch with an aunt, who told him his home had been at Sterling but he had no rela tives there. Several days ago Thompson heard a mesage being filed to Sterling over the wires in hi3 Chicago telegraph office, and told the sender of hi3 early residence there. The story of Thomp son's hunt for relatives reached the .. n 0azette and a neierh- bor of Charles Thompson called his attention to the account as that of his son. They got together with the family album of photographs, the family Bible and reminiscences and proved they were father and son.
