Deputy Sher iff Quackenbush, who met her in the corridor, recognized her as Josie Monroe, a woman of the South'Stde. "Take good care of 'slim'.' ,, she said to him, referring to Monroe. The other woman was elderly and said she was the mother of Bailey and that her home was on the South Side. Deputies were looking for both these women yesterday. It was the first successful jail de- i: .. . . 1 uvcry since xne county jan nas oeen in its ptesent cation on the fifth noor ot tne court nouse. The two men madej a miniature bucksaw with some wire and .wood and brads taken from a broom. This held the hack saw blade. . An Easy Get Away. They then cut two of the iron. bars on one of the windows, bent them back, crawled through the opening to the court house cornice and made their way to the tempor ary scaffold erected by masons re pairing the court house. . As if to further facilitate their escape, a derrick stood on the) top platform of this scaffold, affording them easy: descent from the cornice to the scaffold, from whicli they climbed down to the ground on the ladders. I Scarcely were they gone when Dr. H. S. Kent, a prisoner, gave the alarm. When deputies reached the street they had disappeared. Two , Attempt Frustrated, v There have been two previous at tempted jail deliveries since the jail has been located in the court house. One of these was on March 13, this year. Ueorgia Wiia cat oaker, '.'Shorty" Long and several - other prisoners sawed through some cell bars and were preparing to execute a plan for overpowering the jailWs when their plan was discovered and frustrated. They had possessed themselves of weapons. x The other attempted escape was in eptember, 1913. This was dis coveted by Jailer Joshpichal, who used a piece of lead pipe in a des perate battle with the prisoners. The bars on the outside windows of the jail are of iron, , escape through these windows being out of the question because there is no way to descend from the fifth-story win dow. The erection of the scaffold, however, made this an inviting ave nue of escape. ''.' 1 Striking Train ." Men Go to Work Strikers, Who Have Been Out Since Last March, Vote to .Return to Jobs.

Stone of Burlington Wis., will open the first Great West ern race meeting held in Omaha for a number of years when he calls the starters to the wire in the first event at the Ak-Sar-Ben field mile track at 1:30 this afternoon. "Three races are. on the program today, the1 2:22 trot, purse $800, the 2:17 pace, purse $800. and the 2:09 ,rot, purse si.uw. At least six starters will take the word' in the 2:22 trot, according tQ available information last night, and possibly another one or two will come in when the final installment of entrance fee is due at 11 o'c this morninsr. The probable lir will be about as follows: Dr. Town send, blk. g. by Archduke; Ramcy Payne, b. g. by Peter W; clack fal con, blk. g. by Dr. Munson; Grace Currens, s. m. by Axtein; Barsac, bn s. by Bingara, and Kilo Watts, b. m by General Watts. Black Falcon Good. Of the above lineup many seem to think that Black Falcon, owned by W. B. "Billy" Taylor of Sedalia, Mo., will be a stronsr contender. This gelding has been racing well for the last few weeks, and nas a heat record, taken recently, below 2:10. Several of the others also have been bringing home a considerable pcrtiton of the bacon this season, however, and this event is apt to bi the hottest race on the program.,. The 2:17 oace received one ot the largest entry lists of the meeting, 22 horses beine named. It is not at all unlikely that 10 or 12 starters will show in this "event. Several Omaha owned entries will add considerable interest for the crowd. , At least seven starters are expect ed in the 2:09 trot, including Tip Frisro. hlk. s. bv San Francisco; Luana, b. m. by Kinney Lou; Vol tage br. s. by Peter Volo; Aileen Dillon, b. m. bv Allerson; Axtien, s. h. by Axworthy; Viney Bingen, b. h. by 'Kkig Bingen, and David Look, b. g. by Look Sir. Tip Frisco, owned by Otis M. Smith of Omaha, has been showine crood lately, as also has Luana, the property of Ed Peter son. Axtien, which, by, the way, is one of the flashiest going -horses I ever saw. has a mark of 2:06'4 and J i as been in the habit of racing as ong as anything was in sight to beat. Not Forecast of Results. I have not. attempted to forecast the results of today s races, nor do intend to try that teat at any time during the meeting. If I had. the bility or foresight, or whatever you choose to call it, to do that little stunt accurately, I would nit be doing what I am at present. After all, past performances, records, or anything else, count for very little when it comes down to real cases, and they are heading into the stretch for the final battle. It is what each and every horse can do today that really counts when it comes tirneMo jay the purses. ' - Things had a ssort "of a drowsy air at the stables yesterday after noon. Most of the horses received their daily exercise or workouts by a little after noon, and the rest of the day was spent iic resting and preparing for the battles of the next four days.. Caretakers were wash ing bandages, sleeping, or petting the dog, each as his fancy dictated, and a walk through the stables gave one the impression 'that everybody was taking lite easy. Many ot tne hores were even drowsing, with their heads in one corner of their stalls, away from the Hiesv Grandstand Ready. Scores of" workmen: like -ants crawling over a hill, were; putting the final touches t the new grand stand, in preparation for the big crowd today, and over m the center field several automobile mechanics were tinkering with the four ma- cfnnes to be used in the auto polo matches,-which will be pulled off in front of the grandstand each after noon, parking space for hundreds of cars is available in the infield ADVERTISEMENT.
