Prisoner Escapes From Drunk
en Soldier in Norfolk.
\
FIRES HIS REVOLVER FOR LUCK
\
At Every Station Between Norfolk
and Fremont , the Soldier Forced
His Prisoner to Accompany Him tea
a Saloon While He Drank.
[ From Frldny'H Dully. ]
The Fremont Herald has the fol
lowing story , which Is presumed lo
refer lo the prisoner who formerly
lived at Tllden and at Batllo Crook ,
and who was mentioned in n special
to The News from Battle Creek as
having boon taken through there to
Leavenworth :
Information has reached the Fre
mont police that the soldier who
threatened to shoot a man ho had in
his charge at the depot Saturday was
not shamming , but that ho was an au
thorized officer detailed to take a de
serter back to camp , probably to Fort
Mead. Passengers who wore on the
northwest bound train say that con
siderable trouble was had between
this place and Norfolk , and that the
prisoner ultimately made his escape
from the soldier , who was Intoxicated
and finally fell into a drunken slum
ber.
ber.The
The prisoner , It appears , was
shamefully mlstrealed at different
points along the line. At each stop ,
the soldier got off the train and
forced his charge to accompany him.
to a saloon. Once the former dis
charged his revolver to show that he
was feeling good , and another time he
dropped the piece , causing a second
resounding shot. The bullet buried
Itself in the side of the car , narrowly
missing a lady.
Things finally became so bad that
the trainmen decided to have the sol
dier arrested at Norfolk , and the au
thorities at that place were notified
by telegraph. When the train pulled
In , two officers were at the depot and
both Ihe soldier and his prisoner
were taken from the car. The former
protested , and secured his release by
, promising to behave himself and
r caus.e no more disturbance.
' , ' * Additional word has been received
that the prisoner escaped after the
train left Norfolk. The soldier , it
appears , fell asleep , and the other
secured the keys to the handcuffs
from his pocket. He then got off at
the first stop. Passengers endeavor
cd to waken the sleeper , but they
could not do it , and Ihe man of whom ,
he had charge was given plenly of
time In which to make his escape.
COLLECTING DELINQUENT TAXES
[ From Friday's Dally. ]
Personal Accounts That Have Been
Accumulating Must Now be Paid.
Sheriff J. J. Clements Is In Norfolk
collecting back personal taxes , and
when those who owe the debts are
brought to a realization of the fact
that almost any earthly goods they
possess may be slezed by the sheriff
for the debt , whether they are mort
gaged or not , they generally confess
and dig up.
Some of the debts to the county and
the state have been running since
1881 and , with the interest exacted ,
have accumulated Into pretty respec
table sized accounts , particularly
against those who own considerable
personal property. It Is expected that
the funds In the hands of the trea
surer will bo very materially Increased
by the payment of these delinquen
cies , which the new revenue says
must bo met and the statement that
"nothing Is sure but death and taxes , "
Is receiving added emphasis.
Many have allowed their taxes to
accumulate , thinking that they would
never bo called upon to pay , but when
forced to meet the payment now that
they have grown Into very respecta
ble accounts , It mooes as a rather se
vere penalty for their oversight or
neglect , and in some cases all the
ready funds of the property owner
and all ho can scrape together are
necessary.
It Is not the fault of the treasurer
or the sheriff that the money Is exacted -
acted at this time , but is made im
perative by the now revenue law and
Is really the proper thing. The ox-
p'enso of carrying on the government
has alien upon the people who pay
but with everyone paying a share
from this time forward under the
new'law' , the burden should bo mucl
lighter all around.
FORGER GETS SIX YEARS.
Frank Betts , the Youth at Lincoln
Goes to Prison.
1 Lincoln , March 18. Frank Belts
rcor has been brief but brilliant , was
the Omaha youth whoso criminal ca-
sentenced to six years and a half In
thu penitentiary by .ludgo Holmes.
Betts lifted $ (100 ( from Lincoln jewelers -
olors Homo weeks ago by means of
forged checks , and afterwards was
apprehended In Milwaukee , and
brought back to this city to face the
charge of forgery.
When the court asked the prisoner
If ho had anything to say ho declared
ho had not. In passing sentence the
Judge declared that ho did feel any
leniency towards Bolts only to the
extent that ho had pleaded guilty and
saved Iho slale Iho expense of Iho
trial.
"I cannot feel kindly towards you ,
ellher , " said Iho court. "You have
devoted parents who have tried In
vain to reform you , and have spent
money to save you from a llfo of dis
grace. In passing sentence on you
I fool deeply for your relatives. I
have had a talk with your father and
know how ho feels towards you. You
will now have a chance to meditate
over your past sins , and it ought to
make you a wiser and a bettor man
when you have tasted liberty again. "
Betts , who is only nineteen years
of ago and looks much like the ordi
nary school boy , seemed to ho some
what affected by the fact that prison
walls yawned at him. again and sup
pressed a sob as ho passed out of
the court room.
Betts has served a term , in prison
for burglary , having been sent up
from Omaha. Ho was released only
two months ago. After ho lied from
Lincoln , leaving the jewelers in the
lurch , he went to Minneapolis and
St. Paul. In the latter city he tried
to cash a check for $2,500 In the pur
chase of a grocery store , but failed
to realize any money on it. Ho also
tried to float one for $850 at another
business house. Both of these checks
bore the forged signature of R. B.
Moore of this city.

The Block In Iho now national bank
In Iho city Is now being subscribed
The capital will bo placed at $50 ,
000. The doors will bo opened for
business just au soon as the prelim
inary arrangements are completed
which may not ho before the first of
Juno.
As yet the mailer of location
has nol been determined , nor liulcoil
seriously considered. This point will
not bo setlled iinlll Iho board of dlico
lors have been oleclcd and shall have
decided the matter.
The subscription list In Iho no < v
Inslilullon of finance Is headed by a
number of business men of Norfolk

commerce. Mr. Butlorflold Is Iho ju
nior member of the firm of .W H.

Stockholders In Hie Nebraska Nallon-
al bank are entering the field hero
localise they have the utmost conll
[ once In the fuluro of Norfolk. The
city has the location to make It a
ery much larger place than It no'v
s. Norfolk is bound to grow. There
s a vast terrilory tributary lo Nor
folk rlghl now and lhat terrilory i
not only growing larger but it is fill
ng up constanlly. It seema to mo
.hat there Is no better point In the
state of Nebraska and the fact that
ve have less banks than many smaller
owns about us , is enough to make
is think that a third banking intercsl
icro can be successful.
"We shall not be ready to slart
mslness for several weeks , perhaps.
Possibly It will bo the first of Juno
before we will be able to open. The
name 'Nebraska National Bank' has
been reserved for the Institution in
Washington and the application made.
I is Impossible to say just where the
icw bank will locate. Wo have not
considered the matler1 whalsoevor. "
The eslabllshment of a third na
lonal bank In Norfolk is a sign of
levelopment and growth In the city.
Mot In the history of Norfolk have
there been such radical changes in
janklng circles in so short a period
as during the past few weeks. Both
