TAKES THE GUARD
Express RObber Summers Again
Makes His Escape.
WASSKILLFULLY PLANNED
For the Second Time Within Few Months
He Secured Ills Freedom by an
ALrO.t Plan.

JACKSON, Miss, April 16.-C. 0. Sum
mers, the famous express robber, has
again made his escape from the pent-
Tertiary. This is the second escape
within the last few months. This last
one was as adroitly planned and skill
fully executed as the other. In his first
escape he fooled the guard BY telling
HIN the sergeant wanted to see him
and had instructed him to act as guard
till he returned. The gun was handed
him, and during the brief interval Sum-
mers succeeded in leaving ana was not
heard from again till Pinkerton caught
him in California.
To effect his last escape Summers
carried the guard of with him. Every
thing points to the fact of a perfect
understanding between the two. Sew
eral days ago the guard, George Fun
ches, purchased three suits of clothes,
two of which the couple left In, leaving
their convicts' clothes in the guards
tower. The escape was made soon
after 6 o'clock in the morning. Sum
mers answered to the 6 O'Clock roll call.
Shortly after this prisoner saw Sum-
mers and the guard enter the tower
and few minutes later swing them.
selves of from the wall with new
rope. He gave the alarm, but before
pursuit could be started the fugitives
had disappeared. They skirted Pearl
River swamp and made for the Illinois
Central railroad, which they struck two
miles below here.
Summers is recognized as one of the
shrewdest prisoners ever confined here,
and since his last escape special atten-
ton has been given him.
Governor Stone has offered reward
of $500 for the capture of Summers and
800 for the capture of Punches. Sum
mers Is about &c years old, Ave feet six
inches high, blue eyes and light hai:,
weight l35 pounds, &C S" is tattooed on
the top of his left arm. Punches is
about Is years old, Ave feet nine inches
high, dark hair and light sandy mus
tachc, broad shoulders and small waist,
wears number Ave shoes.
Summers made desperate attempt
to kill Detective William Pinkerton, Of
Chicago, in San Francisco the middle Of
last December. Mr. Pinkerton was in
a hotel office, talking with two San
Francisco detetectives, waen a note
was handed to him stating that a man
ia front of the hotel wanted to see him
Mr.. Pinkerton was suspicious and told
the two detectives to follow him. When
Mr.. Fullerton walked out on the side.
walk he was confronted by Summers,
whom the detective Immediately re-
cognized. Summers attempted to draw
a revolver, but Pinkertcn was too quick
for him. He called to the San Fran
cisco officers and at the same time
:seIZ ID Summers. The three detectives
had no trouble in oveTpowering Sum
mers, and he was sent to Mississippi.
A reward of $500 was paid the Califor-
MIA oficers for capturing Summers.
TIE robber has sworn an oath, it is
said, to XIII Detective Pinkerton.

WILL TRY TO KEEP coxer OUT.
Details of the Warrington Police are
Kept q secret.


WASHINGTON, April 1.-The details OF
the police movement of this city against
Coxey are kept a secret. No doubt ne
will be met at the district limits and II
the NUN bers of his army are too grea!
for the police to cope with the local
militia will be called to their aid. what
to do with the army when it arrives
and is taken into custody, If 1t should
be, is a difficult question, because the
jails and station houses of Washington
will not accommodate such a crowd.
To simply repulse the men and forbid
them to enter the district would be to
turn them lose on the suburban resi-
dents of Virginia and Maryland, and
this is an aspect of the matter which
gives rise to much uneasiness here.
Major Moore has received letter
from the chief of police of Allegheny
City describing the Coxey men In most
uncomplimentary terms. He declares
that there are several professional
criminals in their ranks, that four
burglaries were committed by them
while they were in his town and that
there would have been more depreda.
tions but for the close police surveillance
over the army during its stay.
Colonel Redstone, the Washington
representative of Coxey, said concern
ing the men arrested last night: This
body of men is not at all connected
with the commonweal army, as no
Coxey men will come on until word Is
previously sent to our headquarters
and none will come in disorder or with
out military discipline. There will be
no resistsn:e of the law and none OF
the men will enter the city as a body
until the main line arrives"

NOT A WHEEL TURN
Tie-Up on Three Great Northern
Divisions Complete.
THE STRIKE A SURPRISE
Four thousand Men Will Involved in the
Strike II Their Demands Are Not
Compiled With.

GREAT FALLS, April 14.-No railroad
in any city was ever tied up more COM
pletely than the Great Northern was
here yesterday afternoon. At noon
every man obeyed the order of the
American Railway Union and quit. A
long train of loaded coal cars left on
the bridge giving access to the city
prevented the west-bound express from
coming to this side of the river. Per
mission was given to 60 on to Butte,
but there was no dispatcher to give 1t
clearance. The trades and labor coun-
ell has Endorsed the strike, and at
meeting the merchants offered assist
ance. Not wheel turns. The ore
supply of the big Boston and Montana
smelter is cut of. There is no disturb
ance. The strikers have appointed a
committee to protect the property OF
the company.

eastern men the strike was ordered
That we do not ask anything but justice
from the Great Northern is evidenced
by the fact that the standard rate OF
wages on all roads is 500 and $50 pei
month for conductors and breakmen
respectively. Then the company has
never recognized the mountain line,
which Is drawn by all other lines, the
Northern Pacifi: at Mandan, the Union
Pacific at Cheyenne, and the Santa Fe
at Albuquerque, New Mexico. West OF
these places the men receive increased
compensation. The men were only re.
ceivipg living wages when the cut was
made last August, aud this is all we
want now"
The strike is sweeping, affecting all
the employees of the Great Northern
from St Paul to Seattle, and al branch
lines. The men will move no trains ex.
cept one mail car.
Over 70 per cent of all the employees
of the read belong to the new order.
known as the "American Railway Un-
ion," and i1 was from this union that
the order for the strike was issued.
News is extremely hard to get, as to
Just how well the men along the line
obeyed the order to quit work. Many
offices had been closed at noon, and no
communication by wire could be OBJ
tanned.
1t is estimated that over 600 men
walked out along the line. AT Hllyaro
the shops are practically closed. All
the men affected by the order in this
city promptly obeyed it and quietly q lit
work at noon.
1t is generally believed that a com.
plete tie-up of the line and all branches
has been accomplished and that one OF
the greatest railroad strikes in II e his
tory of the swest is we'll under way.

Situation at Helena.

HELENA, April 1.-THE strike of the
Great Northern and Montana road was
inaugural at noon yesterday, when
the east-b ,und passenger train arrived
at 1890. When the train pulled in, two
men uncoupled the mail cav, and the
engine and mail car was ready to pro-
coed. No orders having been received
to move the train, at the expiration Of
Is minues, j. d. Dunn, official represen-
tative of the American Railway Union,
stepped on the platform and gave notice
that they were rsadv and willing TO
move the mail train, and If it was not
moved it was not the fault of the men.
They would run the train to Great
Falls If the superintendent would give
the orders. Fifteen hundred men are
now out.
