Watonga, O. T, Nov. 22.—On
Monday evening between four and
five o'clock an att , nipt was made to
smuggle a revolver into Mose Eves’
cell, in the county jail, with a view, no
doubt, of enabling him to affect his
escape, but through the vigilance of
the officer sdie deep laid plot mis-
carried. says the Republican.
The father of the prisoner, his
brother, Henry, and two friends, call-
ed at the jail and requested an inter-
view with him. Jailer Marshall in-
formed them that he would grant the
request provided they would allow*
themselves to be searched. All sub-
mittc dto this regulation except Hen-
ry Eves, who declined and started to
leave. At this juncture Sheriff South-
erlatnd, who had been given a tip of
the scheme and secreted himself in the
jail, apeared on the scene and cover-
in gHenry Eves with his gun, order-
ed hi into throw up his hands. Instead
of obeying the command he reached
i,u his hip pocket for his revolver.
Seeing the determined stand taken
by the sheriff he hesitated long
part''creditable!enoURh lnr Jailer Marshall to wrest
the revolver from his grasp. The
llie pniler simply
averl I ves' life as Sheriff Souther-
|land did not propose to take any
flirt hellr chances and was just about
to open fire.
The second concert in the scries bal-
ing given by the Congregational or-
chestra and choir, was rendered last
right at the church to alarge and ap-
preciative audience. The program was
(specially fine, the singing of “Gallia*
g'ving a splendid opportunity to dem-
onstrate the skill of the participants.
The numerous changes in the music of
this tuneful piece were rendered in a
n am er which speak - highly for the
skill with which they were directed.
Mr. S. H. Reid, together with Profs.
Mutter and Kroeger, are deserving of
1 ;uch credit for the splendid rendition
of this highly pleasing program, as
are liie vocalists. Each participant
carried his and her
and rot a hitch occurred to mar th.
ensure. Several other concerts will i !)ron'lss °(
h- given front time to time by this
popular organization during the win-
ter. The program was as follows:
