miszoners at first promised to contribute
az much as was obtained from other
sources. but afterwards withdrew this
promise and agreed to contribute the road
tax OF the Great Northern Railway Com
pany for the year The amount OF this
tax is in dispute. and therefore the coun-
ty has not yet paid one cent. However.
through the vigorous efforts of Mr. krue-
ger. the road has been built to within one
and a half miles of Gaiena, at the mouth
OF Silver creek. The Old road, which fol-
lowed the river bottom. was washed out
by the floods OF last autumn. and an en-
tfrely new road has been built along the
sidehil with forty substantial bridges
across the streams and gulches. II will
be finished in short time and the trail
from Galena to Mineral City, four miles
above the mouth of Silver creek, will then
be improved.

Kruger will take in a z5-ton water jacket

A CLEVER PLOT.
A Much Sentenced Burglar Disguised His
Identity.

A Much-Sentenced Burglar Disguised Hi
Identity.
Jefferson City, Mo, Jan. 6.-War.
den Starke Of the penitentiary has
discovered a scheme by which a
noted burglar intended to escape
punishment in at least two other
penitentiaries. Marshal Chiles of
Kansas City brought eighteen pris-
oners to the penitentiarY, among
them being two burglars, named J..
johnson and Roy Griffith. When
they were dressed in, Johnson gave
his name as Griffith and Griffith was
registered as johnson. Griffith was
committed for Two years and John
son for three years. Warden Starke
was looking at some photographs of
persons from the rogues' gallery in
Kansas City, under one of which
appeared the name of Griffith He
thought he would like to fully identi-
fy the prisoner and sent for Griffith.
johnson appeared under the name
of Griffith aud the Warden saw there
was no resemblance between the
photograph and the man who stood
before him. So he concluded that
Griffith must have registered
under another name After some
further questioning he confessed
that his name was johnson. The
scheme was then exposed. Johnson
is wanted in California to serve
sentence Of fifteen years and in Utah
for ten-year sentence. He expected
to be released in eighteen months
under the two.year sentence and
escape under the name of Griffith
Griffith, as soon as Johnson had
gotten away, could have claimed his
release under his own name john
son bears the distinction of having
been sentenced to three peniteh
tiaries in seven months. Hereafter
sheriffs will probably be required to
identify each prisoner named in a
commitment when he presents them
to the peniteutiary officials.
