JOHN DONNER ACTS UGLY.
Surrendered by Some of His Bonds-
men Escapes From Officer.
John Donnor who laid In Jail hero
so long undor fifteen chnrges of lar-
cony of catflo ovor In tho Ryan settle-
ment mndo bond about two months
ngu and was roloased from custody.
He hnd various bondsmen there be-
ing fifteen of thorn nt $600 each.
Court convened at Ryan Monday
and Ilonnor wns there .and report has
it that one or more of his bondsmen
representing six cases $3000 iu
bonds surrendered him to the offi-
cers nnd he was placed In Jail.
He succeeded In making new bonds
it seems for the ones on which he
surrendered nnd was rclensod.
Then enmo up some nioro bonds-
men who wished to surrender Bonner
and right horo Is whore wo havo two
versions of the affair one to the ef
fect thnt John wns placed In jail
gain but about 8 o'clock at night
he got Deputy Urock to go with hlra
to seo somo parUos .and after lonvlng
the Jail and gaining tho crowded
street Bonner mndo a break for lib
erty through tho crowd nnd tho ofll
cer fearing ho might hit tho
wrong person If ho fired did not shoot
and Bonner got away.
Another report Is that Bonner wns
approachod tho socond time by tho
oincers who told him that more of
his bondsmon hnd glon him up
whoroupon Bonner pulled a gun
uacKO'l off and escaped.
It is presumed Donnor thought they
wero all about to go back on him
which would throw him back Into
Jail and he concluded bo would skip.
Tho Ardmorelte Is Informed Uint
hla bondsmen nro still responsible for
him and the government will collect
tho bond money If John never shows
up.
