aged to Gain the Street
and Escape.

TACOMA, WASH, Oct. 10,-The boldest
and most daring escape ever noted in
the annals of the Tacoma courts was
made late this afternoon, when j. l..
Smith, alias johnson. was brought up
for hearing on the charge OF burglary.
1t was q clear case, and Justice Patrick
could do nothing but bind him over TO
the superior court for trial. The bail
was fixed ut 81, ,oO0.
Smiths witnesses had cleared out,
the officers went about their business,
Mr.. kean, clerk OF the court, sat at his
desk busily writing, Deputy Sheriff Pat.
rick had stepped into the hall, and Jus.
tice Patrick went into back room and
brought out a small bundle OF the
ELECTS belonging to the prisoner that
had been taken from him when first
searched. Placing them on u
table in the rear of the room,
the justice turned again to resume some
business at his desk, when the prisoner,
seeing his chance, quickly decided on a
desperate dash for liberty. He drew
near the table, and reaching for the
bundle put his hands upon his revolver
and cartridges. Then coolly getting up,

tinued backing, and got out of the win
dow onto the shed.
Meantime Clerk Kean quickly made Il
break for the shed roof, but had hardly
landed on tho outside when the burglar
leveled his gun and threatened to shoot
If he sought to follow. The burglar
quickly turned and jumped to the
ground.
Cries for police brought large crowd,
but the burglar boldly forced thom
back ut the muzzle OF the gun, and lost
no time getting to the street, and thence
across the track and over the railroad
bridge TO the country beyond. There
seems to be no organized effort to re-
capture him, and the probability is that
he will make as desperate an effort to
keep his freedom rs he did to gain it.

the answer. "We believe that the at
tempt of the democrats to influence the

in Minnesota, particularly in the dis
tricts which are composed of farming
counties. So far as we have heard, the
democratic documents are not sent to

the democrats have leveled their guns,

overlooked by the democratic commit

tana are making good show of fight,
but II is reported that they are not sup
ported in their campaign by the rank
and hle OF their own party. In Wash

elected by II thousand more than he had
two years ago. In South Dakota the
only danger was from the Farmers Al
lance, and If our reports are accurate
that party, as u party, is petering out.
