Magner, sheriff of Woodbury county, was in the city yesterday in a very much disturbed trame of mind. Suuday night he was bringing a prisoner from the eastern part of the state to oux City. When the train arrived in the viclnity of Cedar Rapids the prisoner improved an opportunity that presentod itself to him sud leaped out of tho car window to liberty. The authorities of Cedor Rapids mado & thorough search for the fugitive, but with- out success, and Sheriff Magner returned home. Monday night at his bome in Sioux City ho received a telegram purporting to come from Council Bluffs, stating that a man wearing & pair of handcuffs had een cap- tured by the authorities here, and. was prob: avly the one ho wanted. Ho at once tele- craphed Shoriff Hazen and Chief Scanlan that hio would be in the city on the morning train, and asked them to hold the man with tho handcufs. Both the shoriff and the chief of police wero very much surprised to receive such a telegrum, as no one of that description had been captured by them. With the morning train appeated Shorifl Magcer, aua ho was utterly dstounded whon ho was informed that there” must be some mistake. Ho did not seem to have the time to show the tele- gram which haa eaused bim his trouble, and tho fact caused a slight suspicion in the minds of those who kuew of the circum- stances that the telegram might have com from some other place than Council Bluffa and that the address might have been misunderstood by bim is his excite: mont. It was the opinion of Sherift Hazen, however, that the escaped prisoner had succeeded in getting one of his friends tosend & bogus telegram in order to throw the Sioux City sheriif off the track. It is probable that ho is in the eastern part of the state somewhere, while the ofticer is huntung for him alouy the Missouri river bottoms.
