A WALKAWAY. The Prisoners Break th < 'Boose and Escape. A Crook \Vuntod Badly Gains HI Liberty. Oftlcor Uarhyto on opening th dpor of the calabooso Tuesday night to put in a vagrant lodger , was sur prised to lind that the birds suppose to bo there caged had flown. An ox animation showed that the exit 1m ( boon made through the rear dooi which opens upon a yard enclosed b u board fence surmounted by barbe wire. Some outsider had risked tea : ing his clothes by climbing over th fence , and with u monkey wrench hu taken off the nut of tlio bolt whic holds the bar fastening the door , This bolt boitu taken off , all the prisoners hnd to do was to pull the bolt out , loosen the bar and swing open the door leading to Iho outside world , The monkey wrench was found in the yard , the unknown liberator having loft it thuio after it hnd nerved his his purpose. There was also loft a torn coat , which wan recognized as belonging - longing to a barber who has been lately locked up there for drunken ness. ness.Tho barber and his torn coat were sout out of jail the dny before , and the coat having thus mysteriously re appeared led the ofllcors to suspect that the barber was the outside friend who thus released the prisoners. It further appeared that the coat and hat of ono fellow , who was lying drunk in the cnlibooso , had boon stolen , loading to the conclusion that the barber wli-j hnd before insisted on Iho oflicera giving him a now coat to replace the ono torn by thorn in ar resting him , hnd como back determin ed to got a bolter coat , oven if hu had to break into jail nnd steal ono. There was only ono important pris oner who thus olfected nn escape , and he is supposed to bu along-sought nnd much wanted one. Ho was arrested hero three or four days ago on a de scription and photograph , baing want ed in Huv > . < r. l places for crookuuwork , and suppimud to belong to a gang of thieves. IIo was noticed in this city , acted suspiciously , found to answer the description , wan arrested , and gave so very unsatisfuotuiy accounts of him self that it was determined to hold him hero nnd investigate further. Ho hud several aliases , ono being Al Morris , another Kennedy , and the names of Frank Wood , Fltckhouso nnd Taylor wuro also used by him on different occasions. IIo was wanted tit Clinton for malicious mischief , at Dos Moines for larceny , and at Onulia for breaking into freight cars. The chief of police has telegraphed to these places , and holding the bin ! in the meantime. Omaha promised to send over for the young man , but do- laycd doing so , and word camu from the other places to hold the man and they would aeo to him. If any of thorn had como promptly , they would hnvo had the man , but delays are dangerous , and this ono gave him time to perfect an escape. The ofllcors will now have the delightful task of catch ing him again , which will bo no easy t.ialc , as the follow has doubtless put a goodly distarico between himself and the places that once know him. It is thought that the barber who so kindly helped him to his freedom belonged to the same gang , nnd has gone with him. Ono of the prisoners , who also escaped , was in for being drunk , but ho returned this morning , paid his fine , gathered up what effects had boon taken from his packets when ar rested , and went forth square with justice. IIo was a resident of the city , nnd had no object in skipping earo to bo relieved from further con finement until morning.
