MORRIS TAIKSJH TORRENT
Finishes Address to Odd Fellows,
Though Bain Pours.
TEW. WITH UMBRELLAS REMAIN
Picnickers Adjourn to Cole's Hall
ad Finish Festivities Dance
and Parade Are Called
Off.
Despite the rain which poured down
during the afternoon and evening, some
1.000 Odd Fellows gtUhered at Florence
ric. The outing started at 2 Vchck In
Saturday afternoon frr their annual pic-
W
iorence city pai-s, m:x on account of
the downpour two hours later had v to
adjourn to Cole's hall.
Governor Chester H. Aldrich and sev
eral others had been heard and Con
gressman orge W. Norris, the last
speaker, was discussing 'Fraternity"
when the first rain began. The first drops
caused no alarm. In a few moments,
however, the precipitation Increased and
a tiny rivulet trickled down the spinal
column of the . eminent congressman,
causing a wilted collar and an unpleasant
dampness to the back of a clean, white
shirt. But he kept on.
Knlii Drives Away Crowd.
. There were raindrops to rights him,
more rain to left of him. and raindrops
in front of him pattered and splashed.
The crowd began to leave, scurrying for
ahelter. Only a few who had been
thoughtful enough to bring umbrellas re
mained. Congessman Norris kept on
nevertheless, with the patience of Job
and the perseverance of a Missouri mule.
Finished, he thanked the handful of
faithful listeners, calmly stepped down
from the speaker's platform, walked
through a path of wet grass to a waiting
auto, and was chugged away.
Eat Lunches In Hall.
The crowd was by this time safely en
sconced in Cole's hall, where basket
lunches were disappearing with all due
eclat and gusto of a spread In the Flor
ence grove. True, the children had to
keep pie crumbs off the floor and refrain
from flipping grape seeds down their
elders' backs, but the supper was enjoyed,
nevertheless.
JThe rain necessitat ed postponement of
the parade, which was to have taken
, place through the main .streets of Flor
ence In the evening.
Even the concession man was out of
sorts and shook his bands frenziedly while
the torrential flow took all the stiffness
out of the ice cream cones and spoiled
the crlspness of the crackerjack.
A dance pavilion erected at a cost of 1100
also had to be left unused.
At the hall during the evening a pro
gram of athletic events was carried out,
the feature of which was a sparring and
wrestling exhibition by the Nelson
brothers, a pair of 7-year-old youngsters
arrayed In tights and knee pads.
The program of short talks as carried
eut during the early part of the after
noon was as follows:
Invocation, Charles W. Savldge.
Address of welcome for city, R. H.
Olmsted.

Wyoming Observer
Sees Severe Winter
"Whfte I hope I am mistaken, Indies
tlons are that the coming winter Is to
be the most severe In thirty years," said
D. B. Edgar, a live stock man " from
the vicinity of Caspar, Wyo., who spent
Sunday at the Merchants hotel.

FOOT BALL WORK STARTED
AT OMAHA HIGH SCHOOL
. -
Foot ball practice at the hlxh school
was commenced Thursday and continued
through the week. Althau-rh sixty lads
signed for the squad last Wednesday,
only forty-five were present at the first
practice. The candidates, who have
turned out so far aro a varied crowd,
but brain as well as brawn are present.
With such material, Coach M!H? thinks
he will be able to pick a fast n-.i heavy
team. - "
The squad Is divided Into three teams,
first, second and third, each with a suf
ficient number of subs.. Players on the
first team, who are showing up well
are:' Ballman, Carlson, Smith, Drum
mond, Keyes and Nelson.
The week was devoted entirely to kick
ing, passing and tackline, making prac
tice easy, but Coach Mills Intends to put
the squad througn :1- srlf" drill of fall
ing on the ball, team practice and scrim
maging. " ;
Lack of a suitable place for practice
offers a problem now, but It is hoped
of all the fur bearing animals are much
heavier than usual. This is also true
with birds and fowls that winter In the
north. Even the trees this fall have
the almost never falling signs of un
usually cold weather. This fall the bark
on the trees is considerably thicker than
usual.
"In the fall of 1880 the signs were sim
ilar to what they are now. and ail of
the old timers remember what kind of
a winter followed. We know that bliz
zards were frequent and the mercury
went down lower than during any winter
since. It was so cold that Indians on
the Wind river reservation froae to death
In their teepees, sitting - around their
fires.
"If the winter should be cold, as It
promises to 'be, I don't think thestock
losses will be as heavy as last, for
ranchers .have made provisions for tak
ing care of their stock.

Police Puzzle Over
Asphixiation Case
Anna Jones, aged 17 years, was found
dead yesterday morning In bed at her
home, 3322 Boyd street, as the result if
gas asphyxiation. ; Miss Jones lived with
her brother-in-law, James Nielsen, a
driver for an Ice company. When he left
for work Sunday morning at ' o'clock
everything was all r'ght about the house.
When the rest of the family arose at T
o'clock they smelleiT the gas fumes anl
madfi an Investigation which resulted !n
finding Miss Jones dead. The police are
undecided as to whether death was acci
dental or otherwise.
While Deputy Sheriffs Wrisrht and Lam
brecht sat conversing Saturday night at
10 o'clock In the office of the county jail,
Roy U Chamberlain and Sam Bristol,
two prisoners being held on serious
charges for the grand Jury, escaped by
sliding down a water pipe, directly past
a Jail office window. Had the deputies
happened to look out they could not
have failed to see the men.
Chamberlain was arrested two months
ago by Detective Dan Laheyi upon th
complaint of Otto Hassan, Eighth streev
and Woolworth avenue, who accused the
man of having been more than frlemil.v
with his 8-year-old son. Bristol was be
ing held upon the charge of breaking and
entering, and is known : the police as
a particularly nervy burglar.
The two prisoners ' were confined ' In
the "dark hole" cell when the effected
their escape. Both had been misbehav
ing and they were placed there for pun
ishment. It is believed that one of tho
prisoners had a saw hidden In his cloth
ing when he was transferred fron his j
more comfortable cell and the change i

Prisoner Has Saw.
At 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon Deputy
Sheriff Cahlll visited the "dark hole" to
see If all was well and found Bristol with
a saw in his hand. The tool was taken
from him and the investigation that fol
lowed showed that a lock which held a
close mesh bar window closed had been
sawed In half and that all that kept . the
prisoners from liberty was the regular
prison bars outside. As these had not
been touched, the deputy left the mesh
window open, after warning the prison
ers If they, proved disobedient again they
would be punished more. .
He left and at 10:20 o'clock last night
Deputy Lambrecht heard sounds of es
caping steam from the vicinity of the
"dark hole" cell on the second floor.
With Deputy Wright he made an Investi
gation and found one outside bar twisted
off and sawed and both prisoners gone.
An alarm was Immediately sent odt and
the railroads and bridges closely guarded,
both with deputy sheriffs and police offi
cers. ,
It Is thought by Sheriff McShane, who
made a personal Inquiry after the es
cape, that with the mesh window open
saws might have been received from
prisoners In the Juvenile ward on the
third floor. Transfer of tobacco and
other, articles Is often made secretly by
prisoners at the county jail with the aid
of a string, and It is in this manner that
the prisoners could have received their
second saw.
Both men were dressed In blue shirt
and overalls and neither had a hat.
Seventh Attempt.
This Is the seventh time that prisoners
have been sawing at their cells, but In
the six other attempts the deputies were
able to hear the noise made by the saws
In time to prevent the break.
Deputy Lambrecht explains the fact
that he did not hear the noise of sawing
by the fact that only yesterday steam
heat in the Jail building was turned on
and the noise of escaping steam drowned
the noise of sawing. To further Intensify
the steam noise, Bristol and Chamberlain
broke the steam pipe In the "dark hole"
and they worked unhindered. It was
when the noise of escaping team became
annoying to the Jail officials that they
went up to find their prisoners gone.
Sheriff McShane says that on the regular
visiting day, Friday, nearly all of the
prisoners have friends come to see them
and on this day forbidden articles are
nearly always smuggled In, -despite the
most careful watch.
Sn Jail Poor Stuff.
Blame for tho .escape Is laid by the
sheriff uiuin the county commissioners for
buying cheap material to build the Ja!l.
He says that the prison bars are made
of the softest malleable Iron and that
any lock In the place can be mashed by
a slight kick, if properly directed.
Mrs. Bristol, wife of one of the es
caped prisoners, and his mother-in-law
are being kept under surveillance by the
sheriff upon suspicion that either of them
might have slipped the saw into Bristol.
The mother-in-law visited at the Jail on
Friday and bad a long talk with her rela
tive. Both women deny that they knew
of the saws. f
