ME SHERIFFS PRISONER.
In the pioneer days of Minnesota mv
lather was elected Shcrm of County,
and in due time, our family took up its
residence in tho county jail. I was the
only cnild, and was at that time about
thirteen years old. About a month after
we took possession we received a prisoner
who was known over a wide circle of
country as Black Jim, horse thief, robber
and general desperado. He was a man
about thirty years of ac, very dark com
plexion, quick and wiry, and his cap
ture was hailed as a great event. Officers
had been after him for over two jear3,
ana two oi tnem wno naa turned up
nussiDg were believed to have been shot
down by the desperado. He was brought
to jail loadcddown with irons, and up
to the time of his examination father em
ployed two extra guards. After he had
been remanded 'to. the higher court, Black
Jim was so quiet and humble that the
extra guards were dismissed, and ho was
looked after by our regular turnkey,
.who was a middle-aged man named An
drews, s r
Tho jail was "built of stone, and was
the only stone jail in the State at the
time. The prison part was twelve feet
wide by the width of the building, mak
ing a corridor abuc twelve by thirty.
.There were no ceils in th'is corridor, but
it was a rlear space, with bunks for five
or six prisoners. It was shut j in by iron
ba?a running from top to bottom, and
admission was had by "a single'door. The
windows were smnll and well guarded.
There was no fear of Bbick Jim or any
other prisoner getting oit if properly
looked alter. V 1
Two weeks after our prisoner had been
remanded father was called Vpon to or-
ganize a posse and seek the cvoturo of a
gang of horse thieves raiding ira neigh
borhood twenty miles away, VyI heard
his instructions to Andrews UMore he
left. He'said: j V
'Don't take your cyo oU Blaclfc Jim,
This afternoon my wift will go on-duty,
nnd you can sleep and bo1 read for
eight." . y "
. 'Ohy'you needn't 'be afraid of any.
thing going wrong," replied Andrews.
4 'I'd just like to see Jim hoodwink me,
and I can watch ; for three 'day3 and
nights, if necessary." i
I saw that father didn't like his boast
ing, but he was in a hurry tojjc off, and
he left ricrht . away after dinner. An-
drew3 took up his station infan 'armchair
in the corridor, and I brought in some
wood for the big stove (it was October),
filled up the water pails, arid was busy
for an hour or two. I happened to be
in the corridor when the gate bell rang,
and was sent out to answer it. .The call
er was a keen-looking man about forty
years old, pretty I well-dressed, and he
had a package under his arm. ; When he
had followed me into the' jail' building
ne eaia to Anarows ; i
I am Lawyer Thomas, of Broc!
villc,
and have come to see my client,"
. Black Jim's examination had taken
place at a town eight miles away, and
neither Andrews, , my mother, uor my
self had been present, therefore we did
not know any of the lawyers in , tho
cftse.- Father Tiad not !aaid anything
about visitors, and. when lawyer Thomas
demanded an interview with his client,
Andrews did not hesitate ,io let him into
the ward. 1 From, the moment .1 saw
Thomas at the gate I.toiok a dislike to
him. I set him down asi aVbad man. I
wanted to protest when AnCrews let him
into the corridor, but If htdn't the as-
surance.
le bold to
lay:
'Youfcught to have rfiked .mother
turnkey. There they talked for a W
two hours, and then Thomas came fo
vard and said: ' , . . -
.VI discover that I have left some im
portant papers at the hotel, aad must go
for them. Will it be against the rules if
1 call again this evening?" . -Wc
had no rules about visitorsias this
our nrst prisoner, and Andrews
promptly replied that the lawyer could
uru ana remain until nine o'clock.. I
Eajv somc money slipped into his hand,'
auu ne .was all smiles as he bowed
inoma? out.
I went and tnlrl mntfinr

his lawyer, but she replied that Andrews
. O I
was ajiaitnrul man, and was probably
satisfied that everything was all right .
Black Jim went to his bunk, and I took
advantage of thU fact to remove the
sash from the rear window of the corri-
dor over, the bench the pair had occupied
uurmg meir contab. Tnis done, I went

I discovered that no stranrrer was ston-
piog at the hotel. I made irquiries of
1 1 . , -m .
"CYcrm citizens, ana uo one naa seen a
man of Thomas's description. Then I
asked, who had been Black Jim's lawyer
at the. examination, "and was told that his
name was Mcuormacs.
I returned home to give mother these
facts, and while they aroused considera
ble anxiety, she could not fully credit
my assertions that the so-called Thomas
was there to help Black Jim get away.
She cautioned Andrews without telling
him iwhat I had discovered, but" ho as-
surca uer mat ne Knew i nomas to be a
lawyer, and that there wasn't tho slight
est foundation for suspicion or anxiety.
This silenced mo and reassured mother,
but I was by no means convinced.
. Dars:nes3 came about 5 o'clock, and at
half past 5 I let Thomas in again. lie
had a pretty large bundle under his arm, j
aud I noticed that his boots were muddy,
He handed Andrews some cigars, got off
a joke or two and was admitted to the
corridor. The two had no sooner started
for! tho further end than I started for the
window. Carefully lifting out the loose
sash I found that I could plainly hear
their conversation. The first 'words I
caught were from Thomas, who, wa3 say-
ing:

M Anything in the house wortii tak
ing?". 'Can't tell till we have a look. I
wonder where this cold air comes from."
. I drew back, softly replaced the sasfii,
and then entered the corridor to tell An
drews. IIo sat in his chair half asleep,
and it occurred to mo that if I called
him oil. his post tho fellows would sus
ryect something. I entered the dwelling
part and related the particulars to mothtJr.
I remember how white her faco grew as
sho listened to mo. She was for at once
sending me out for some of the neigh
bors but when we came- to reflect
WO
remembered that father had taken twenty
of the best men in his posse, and wo
could think of no one who would bo
likely to accept our call. Andrews wa3
at his post, and he could not be called
away or conferred with. We had alarms
a. double-barreled shotgun, a revolver,
and a rifle, Tho turnkey had the revol
ver, or was supposed to have it, but in.
looking( around the corridor I found it
hanging on a nail behind tho door lead
ing into tho dwelling part. It was
loaded, and I myself loaded tho other
arms, taking them into tho dwelling part
to do so. The keys to tho front and
back doors, were in the locks. I re
moved them without Andrews knowl
edge. - . ..
No-w, to understand what took place,
you .must have the lay of the jail. It
vyis only one story high. Thero was a
door at either end of the corridor, Mid
way there was a door and a passageway
to the dwelling part, which wa com-
nosed of three rooms. There were two
windows in thq corridor, both strongly
defended, and the doors were very mas.
give. The door into tho dwelling 1 part
was only an .ordinary light door. When
nine o'clocl? came I stood in this doorway
with mother looking over my shoulder,
and. we had all the weapons on the
kitchen table. I had the front door
key in my hand ready.to let Thomas out
in case nothing happened. He and Jim
came to the iron door and shook hands,
and Jim said: . '
Weil, I shall depend' on you to get
those witnesses."
'Oh, of course, of course," was the
reply. 'I may drop in some day next
week with some good uns." ;
I hope so." ?
Well keex up your courage. Good:

'Good-by."
Andrews turne the key and let
Tlinmn nut into the ecrridbr. None of
them had seen us, because we were fur
ther down; Andrews had swung the
door about half shut when Thomas turned
on him and struck him with; his fkt be
hind the ear. Tho turnkey fell in a
heap, and then Thomas 3rew a ! revolver
and struck him twice with the butt of it.
By this time Black Jim was out in the
corridor, and I saw a revolver in his
hand. ' Mother screamed out as Thomas
