The Anthony Weekly Journal Harper County Friday August 20, 1897 Attempted Jail Delivery. Monday night of this week Sheriff MILLER was confronted with a condition that promised for a while to rid him of his boarders. The Sheriff took the supper to the prisoners as usual and setting the basket inside the cage he pulled the cell door to and closed it by putting the padlock in the staple, not springing the lock. He locked the outside door and sat out in front of the court house waiting for the prisoners to eat their supper. When he went for the basket he noticed three of the prisoners and supposed the other one was in the cell as everything was as he had left it. During his absence the prisoners had slipped the lock and one of them slipped out into the sitting room on the east side of the jail and as soon as the Sheriff left he commenced operations. He had a table leg with some nails in the end of it, a pair of scissors and an iron bar with which to work, and with those simple tools he proceeded to dig a hole in the wall. Between 10 and 11 o'clock Oat LAW and Jerome JONES who were loafing around the court house lawn saw ! some of the brick fall and heard the noise, but thinking it a mob after ROWE, they were a little cautious about approaching the jail. I.B. FORBES who was going home noticed that there was something wrong and going over to the jail discovered what was up. Sheriff MILLER and Under Sheriff BODLEY soon pressed quite a number of men into service and proceeded to put Mr. Pegleg, who was doing the digging, back into the cell. He had been so near freedom that he lost his usual good nature and made some resistance but was overpowered and forced into the cell. He claims to have escaped from several cells and makes the boast that he will yet escape from this jail before court sets in. This is his second attempt on the jail here, and Sheriff MILLER having been warned by this two attempts should make it impossible for him to carry out his threat.

The Anthony Weekly Bulletin Harper County Friday August 20, 1897 Tiger Bassett died last Friday night. Tiger was only a dog, but he was a dog with a history. He had the distinction of being the victor in more dog fights than any dog in the county; he was as far as is known the oldest dog in the county and had paid dog tax oftener than any dog, and had a large acquaintance. Outside of his love for a rough and tumble fight he had few vices and many virtues. He was a faithful friend and ally, and was especially kind to children. He was buried with honors due a dog of his character and it will be some time before he is entirely forgotten by his friends.
