One night last week, when driving
home with his daughters in his buggy,
ami when near Homer Mason’s farm.two
young men molested Mr. L. G. Freeman.
ITc was driving at a moderate pace, and.
unexffectedly’ a young man appeared on
either side of the vehicle and grabbed
hold of it. Mr. Freeman whipped up his
team, and this prevented them from car­
rying out what thev had intended, but
before they let loose one of them, Mr.
Freeman thinks, tried to strike one of his
daughters.

in which 100 horses boarded. Several

Roy McClelland, the boy who was
being lidd in Albany a waiting the action
ol the Olympia authorities, has been re­
leased. He immediately started for
California. McClelland is the boy who
escaped from the Olympia jail through
the aperture which Murderer Benson and
his associates made in the prison wall.
The hole was not large enough to admit
the passage of the bodies ol the larger
men, but young McClelland, who is
small and slender, succeeded in squeezing
out. The Albany police received word
to hold the boy until the Olvinpia au­
thorities could secure requisition papers.
Sunday word was received that as the
boy whs arrested for the theft of articles
of but little value, the Washington
people did not consider it necessary to
come after him. Young McClelland
seemed very much shocked at the news
of the murder of the Washington Sheriff,
and said lie did not know the plans for
a jailbreak involved such drastic meas­
ures.
