Although Indian creek did not leave Its banks during heavy rain storm Tuesday evening, surface waicr did considerable damage In different parts of the city, owing to the sewers being li. adequate to carry off the vast volume of water. On South Main street between the tracks of the Burlington and those of the Great Western the water poured over the side walks and Into the cellars of the shutting buildings. At this point In places the water was two and three feet deep near the curb. Two little girls whose names could not be learned, had a narrow escape from being sucked Into the large manhole near the Burlington depot. With their mother they started to board a street car, and In step ping from the sidewalk, the children stepped Into a sewer opening where the water was up to their chins. Bystanders quickly pulled them from their perilous position but not before the little ones were wet to the skin. The water from the hill streets poured onto Broadway near First street in tor rents, flowing over the sidewalks and Into the cellars on the business houses on the north side. From the Illinois Central tracks to Ninth street Broadway was a veritable river and cellars on both sides were flooded. While the water rose up to the floors of the several bridges, Indian creek luckily did not overflow. While the street car traffic between Council Bluffs and Omaha was interfered with more or less the motors succeeded In making their way through the water which was up to tho steps. A bad wash out on the Wabash road about ten miles east of the city was reported. It was reported that the r.ew concrete bridge over Indian creek at Frank street had been damaged, but the extent of the damage could not be learned last night. FOIR rRlSO.XEHS BREAK JAIL Take Advantage of Jailer Betas; at Ilia Sapper. , Four prisoners In the county Jail took advantage of heavy storm Tuesday evening to make their escape. The four prisoners who succeeded in evading the vigilance of Jailer Gallup were William Howard, who was serving a nine months' sentence for breaking Into the saloon of Ed Murphy on South Main street last September; Wal ter Gumm, the negro assistant dog-catcher, charged with murderous assault on C. F. Grell, and the. two, youpg lads, Richard Dempsey and George Davis, charged with breaking into and robbing the Stroude bar ber shop on South Main street. Gumm, Dempsey and Davis were awaiting the ac tion of the grand Jury now In session. The escape was effected, as on former occasions, through one of the rear wlne dows, to reach which the prisoners had to gain admission to the outer corridor. Ad mission to the outer corridor was effected by prying apart the bars which separate tho Inner from the outer corridor on the first floor. Exactly how this was accom plished neither Sheriff Canning nor Jailer Gallup had been able to ascertain last night. One bar on the outer window was aawed through and the bar then bent back, leaving an opening of about ten Inches, through which the four prisoners crawled to liberty. It Is possible that the bar of the outer window may have been sawed by a confederate on the outside, but Sheriff Canning is of the opinion that it was done from the inside and that probably the men who escaped had been working on It for two or three days. Tha men made their escape shortly be fore 8 o'clock, about the time Jailer Gallup and his family were finishing their supper. Jailer Gallup had Just left the bulldlr.g after finishing supper when his wife heard a loud rapping at the main door leading Into the lower corridor. On Investigating she was told that four prisoners had Just made their escape by a rear window. Mrs. Gallup ran fo the front door and called her husband, who had gone but a short dis tance. Jailer Gallup at once placed the remaining prisoners in the cells In the cyl inder and then notified Sheriff Canning and the police department. From the, prisoners who remained. It was learned that the negro, Gumm, stood sentry at the door of the corridor, armed with a rasor. while his three companions crawled through the window, and then threatened to carve any of them who might follow him. made his getaway. As soon as the negro had crawled through the win dow the other, prisoners gave the alarm by pounding on the door. , All of the sheriff s force and several members of the police force at once started In pursuit of the escaped men, but up to a late hour last night had failed to re capture any of them. Deputy Sheriff Oroneweg, who was In a buggy, met with an accident on Eighth avenue while in pursuit of the escaped men. His horse stepped Into a washout In the road and had to be dug out. The accident forced Mr. Groneweg to abandon the chase. BATTEY CASE DELAYED AG A IX Illness of Juror the Ocenslon of Latest Adjournment.

NEGRO WILL GET HIS RELEASE Little Evidence Asm Inst Man Accused of Assault at Dea Moines Bluffs Contract. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES. May 13.-(Special.)-Though there is seemingly no question in the minds of any but that Lamont Fred erick, who is In the county Jail here la the man who assaulted Mrs. W. II. Rlsser, there Is every probability that he will be re leased because Mrs. Rlsser's testimony is the only evidence against the negro. Mrs. Risser has twice Identified the man, once at her home hen he was arrested and brought there by the police and once at the county Jail, where she picked him out of a company of nine negroes and then fainted at the thought of the horrible assault tho man had made upon her. When Frederick was first arrested there was talk about town of a lynching and the sheriff put an extra guard about the county Jail, and about Frederick's cell. Today County Attorney DeGraff declared that unless there was some additional evi dence of some kind against Frederick he would have to be released, as the evi dence of Mrs. Rlsser alone would not be sufficient to convict.

CHICAGO, Mty.,,,3. Delegates to the socialist national convention In session here made little progress today In the direction of an- agreement of policies or platform. The greater part of the brief ses sion held today was devoted to arguments by contesting delegates from western states. In and out of convention the con teat between Eugene V. Debs and William D. Haywood for the presidential nomi nation was the subject of much discussion, and tonight, with one day Intervening be tween the balloting will probably begin. It was predicted that neither would be chosen to lead the socialist ticket. A rumor which gained currency during the day that Hay wood had withdrawn from the race was vigorously denied tonight by supporters of Haywood's candidacy. Eugene V. Debs was still absent because of illness in his family, but it is thought likely he will appear and take a personal part in the fight before long. Beside these two men, A. M. Simons of Illinois, Ben jamin Hanford of New York and Rev. Carl D. Thompson of Milwaukee are mentioned for the presidential nomination. Rev. Thompson's name when mentioned fn the convention was greeted with enthusiastic cheers. Tho committee on platform put In a busy session torlght.
