Sheriff Colyer returned from Pittsburg, Kansas, Friday night, whither be had gone to bring back a man who gives his name as James Staton. The charge against the prisoner is for stealing two horses from J. B. Small, a farmer living three miles north of thiscity. A short time ago Mr. Small hired Staton as a farm band, and after working two days resigned his po- sition and received: hie pay. The next morning two horses were miss- ing and Mr. Smal! charged the theft to Staton, and cards caught him at | the above named town, in Kansas. While in jail at Pittsburg, Staton with other prisoners made a break for liberty and was shot in the head by the officers, but not seriously hurt, and when ke arrived in Butler, he was wearing a bandage on his head and a pair of steel bracelets on his wriste. Tha prisoner since bis arrest said he was also being charged with the robbery ot the depot at Richards, the freight train at Nassau and several stores in Ne- vada. He is evidectly a tough bat, but as the horses were not found iu bis possession it is probable it will be hard to make a case against him unless some positive proof can be brought forward that he stole them | —— Awarded | Highest Honors—World’s Fair, | } POWDER MOST PERFECT MADE. | A pure Grape Cream of Tartar Powder.
