At about. ialf past one o'ejock lust
Tuesday morning, tho citizens pf Ma
ker City were awakened by tlio cry of
lire, and it was sopu apparent that the
county jail was in Haines. A largo
crowd of excited people fooq gathered,,
but too late to render any assistance
other than to save the court house,
which was in close proximity and iir
great danger for awhile. The jail con
tained six persons, by name, Louis
Miller, Ceo. Plumb, Sum. Hro.vn, Win,
Land, John Cooley and Fred Winkle
man. It is not known exactly how tin
lire originated. Jt seems that at tin
time the fire started, under sherill's.
Brown and Sally wore sleeping in the
oilico of the jail, and jailor Boynton
was up in town in qqest of mcdicint
for Cooley, who was not will. When
urouse(, the under sherill's hurried in
to the corridor of the jail an 1 discov
ered Haines coining fj-om the cell of
Winkleinuii, but its neither had the
keys to tlo cells they could not liber
ate the prisoners. About this time,
jailor Boynton nuidto Ins appearance,
and unlocked the nearest cell to him,
that of W'inklcman, but before he
could reach the others, the inside of
the jail wa; a htuss of Haines, and he
had to rftrcut. From the outside hi
tried to cut through with n n.v, but
the Humes drove him back. WJien it
became known to the crowd that the
prisoners were on the inside, and rous
ting to death, tlie excitement was in
tense. The cries of the prisoners wort
heart rendering, but nothing could bo
done for thoin. Among tho crowd
were many of their frjoipls aipl rela
tives, who were almost paralyzed with
dread and grief, After tlio fire the
live bodies wore lotpi'd burned Pearly
to ashes. Winkleinuii was conveyed
to the city jail. He is burned to badly
that ho may not recover. It is gener
ally thought tiat he set tlo jail on tire
in order to make Ins escape, and tlie
coroner's jury gave that as their opin
ion, althPUgP lyinkK'iiiuu denies it
The remains pf the prisoners were ta
ken in charge by friends and relatives.
No blame seems to be placed on tin
pllicials, for this terrible catastrophe.
1 lie. lather of John Cooley arrived
in this city froip Baker on Thursday
with tjie ashes of his spn. Ho and his
ianiiiy navo uie sincere sympainy oi
tio community, anil it is but jnst to
say that tho peoj lu hero who know
lohit Cooley, doubt very much his
guilt in tho killing of Layery, ami in
no way associate Ins namo with that
of "murderer", and it was thought ho
cmpd justify himself when Im ciiiuo tq
trial. Iio' is ' now, howover, beforo a
higher tribunal, and it is not fpr npr
tas to jiulgo liiip."
