Murphy as receivers of the Officer & Pusey bank, Judge Wheeler denied the petition. In giving his decision Judge Wheeler sald there was nothing to show that the estate of the bank was not being managed to the best advantage and he did not believe the affairs of the bank could be any more ex- peditiously or advantageously closed by a new recelver; that a change at this time would require time for a new recelver to become acquainted with the details of the @atate and that in his opinion the manag ment would be just as expensive. Judge ‘Wheeler also sald that while he would like to comply with a majority of the bank creditors, to remove the receivers at this time would be to cast & slur on thelr man- sgement, which the court felt was not in any way deserved.

POTTAWATTAMIE COUNTY JAIL EXODUS William Thompsos. Chargea with Burglary, Evidently the Leader of the Gang—Others Make No Effort to Leave. Seven prisoners made thelr escape from the county jail last evening after over- powering George Martin, the jaller, and his wife, whom they forced into the corridor around the revolving cage and shutting the door on them made a dash for liberty through the front door Into the court house yard. The prisoners who escaped were Willlam Thompson and E. G. Jones, charged with breaking Into Maloney’s cigar factory; John Enbricht, charged with breaking into Schott' drug stdre; Andrew Thompson, sharged with brdaking into Currie Bros.' store at Underwood; H. Fishburn, charged with the larceny of a bicycle, and Mike Fahey and Mike Sheehan, charged with aa- ulting and robbing Fred Goth in the rafl- road yards. All seven were awaiting trial, indictments against them having been re- turned by the grand jury Wednesday. The men made thelr escave a little be tore 7 o'clock, & few minutes after they haa finished eating supper. How they suc- ceeded In picking the lock, one of the tumbler pattern, on the gate of the inner corridor, 1s not knewn. There were eleven prisoners in the corridor which encircles the revolving cage in which the men are confined at night. During the daytime they are kept in the corridor. Entrance to the corridor from the hallway of the jall is through an iron outer door and then through a steel barred gate. This gate was locked with a tumbler padlock, but the outer door was unlocked. Surprise the Jatler. Jaller Martin had just finfshed his supper and was placing away some bread in ths | bread box which stands in the hallway against the wall next the outer door of the | Jail proper. While he was stooping over | the box the door was thrust open, striking him upon the top of the head and almost knocking him down. Before he had time to recover himself Andrew Thompson rushed | out, followed by the other six prisoners. | Thompson, who appeared to be the ring- | leader, seized Martin by the throat and at- | tempted to force him back toward the cell door. Martin struggled and nearly suce ceeded In freeing himself when the other #ix men jumped on him and they forced him round the stairway and back to the cell door, through which they thrust him. Mar- tin called to his wife to get him his re- volver, which was in the bed room off the hall. Before Mrs. Martin could do so, how- ever, two of the fellows selzed her and forced her after her husband through the door Into the inner corridor. They then shut the door and turned the handle, but were unable to lock it, not having the key. One of the men ran Into the bed room, selzed the revolver, which was lyinig on the bed, and all seven then made a dash through the outer door into the court house yard. Three turned down the alley into Sixth street, while the other four ran south on Main street, evidently intending to reach the railroad yards. Jaller Martin succeeded in opening the door in a few seconds and started in pur- puit, but remembering that the prisoners left behind were not locked in returned to the jail. The other four men who were confined in the corridor, James Casady, Harry Caley, John Plumb and Cha-les Cole- man, made no attempt to escape. Search for the Escaped Prisoners. Martin lost no time in giving the alarm and Sheriff Cousins and his force ot dep- uties were @oon on the sceme. Search for the escaped prisoners was at once begun. Andrew Thompson, who is a big, mus. cular man, appeared to be the ringleader. He was judge of the kangaroo court and was acting as “monitor,” in which capac- ity he served out the meals to the other prisoners. That the escape had been well planned was evident from what was learned from the prisoners who did not attempt to escape. They clalm they were not in the secret and did not know anything about it until the men made the dash for the gate. They sald that as they were finish- ing their supper the seven men who es- caped went {o the end of the corridor where their coats and hats hung on a line and put them on. When Jaller Martin was heard in the hallway Thompson sald, “ready,” or something to that effect, and swung the gate open. The men who re- mained behind say they did not see the lock picked. Plumb, one of the men who remalned, was indicted with Sheehan and Fahey for robbing old man Goth. He insists that his partners told him nothing about thelr plan to escape. This makes the third time that pri oners have escaped from the county since its erection. Four men got away August 14, 1898, during Sherift Morgan's term by sawing through the bars of a win- dow on the main floor, and during Sheriff Hazen's term several escaped in a similar manner. N. Y.
