Eaoaned and Caught.

Another escape from the Reforma-
tory occurred Sunday. The fugitive
was a young man named Walter
Griggsby, who was sent here last Sep
TENDER from Newton for shooting a
companion in drunken jambOree.
He was switchman on the Santa Fe.
He had been an orderly inmate until
this attempt for freedom. About the
dinner hour he secured permission to
90 to his cell with some writing paper
To 90 there he had to 90 through The
new unfinished part of the building
he took the material to his cell but
did not return further than the eleva-
tor used tor hosting rocks up on top of
the wall. Here he went up a rope some
twenty-five or thirty feet scaled the
wall and went down by ladder on the
other side. Superintendent Case had
called attention Of the board and mas
ter mechanic to the fact Of this open
space through which rock were hOisted
but no action was taken.
After getting out Of the walls
Griggby sneaked down the railroad,
east then south, and little west. He
waded the river and was putting on his
shoes when the whistle blew annOunc-
ing his escape. He got some farmer to
give him some old Overalls and an old
Grand Army coat. He then went down
the river to Haven being afraid to cross
in the night without bridge.
Monday, Mr.. Armstrong, superinten-
dent of the farm, got track of him
where he was lnquiring the way to Bur-
ton. The officers knew he had friends
in Newton. Superintendent Case
boarded the first train to that place.
AS the tram pulled in Gliggsby lodged
behind a coal bin. Arriving there, Mr..
Case set out to search for him and in
short time had found that a constable
named Davis, from Haven, had tracked
him up and had beaten him about
twenty minutes in finding the man
He accordingly arranged with the con-.
stable for his reward and brought bis
man back.
Griggsby is a dissipated fellow who
seems to care little for anything. He
joked about his tramp and said he had
had good time and a drink Of whisky
while gone. He also asked when the
board would meet so as to send him to
Lansing, remarkinR at the same time
that he was ready to 90 right now.

Gore Galore.

Evidences of a scrap were found ly-
ing profusely on the side walk and scat
tered over the walls and what remained
of the plate glass windows in front of
the Clarendon hotel Tuesday morning.
In fact it looked as if there had been
a hog killing time of the first magni-
tude, or a battle with the Spanish.
A Dane by the name of Harry
Wenk, who had been employed
for about week by Mr.. Masters as ba-
ker, but whom he had discharged for
too convivial habits, started ont to
paint the town red, and he succeeded
in doing so pretty thoroughly, at least

For a Fine Park.

The Santa Fe railroad has COM
menced one of the finest decorative i'm
provements that has ever been at
tempted in this city. Many people
have wondered why it was that the
company set the depot so far from
Main street, and down the track. But
it now appears that the grounu be-
tween Main street and the depot is to
be turned to a good use. Over $500
have been appropriated by the company
to convert this space into park. The
work is to be conducted through super
lDtendent of the water service, Banker,
koad Master Hutton and local agent,
Mr.. Roberts. Mr.. Stamm, proprietor
of the green house of this city is to fur
nish the shrubs, climbing plants, shade
trees, evergreens, and flowers of the
best varieties, which together with set
ting them out will cost about 1926. The
ground is to be sodded with blue grass
and gravel or cinder walks will cut the
park in artistic designs. Gravel will
be procured If possible without too
great expense. Another walk will be
laid out on the south side on one side
Hutchinson gazette. [volume] (Hutchinson, Kan.) 1895-1902, 1898-04-07

of which will be a row OF elms ten feet
apart and on the other row of naples
of equal spacing,
The water service too is to be equal
to all requirments for the glowth OF
the plants, and fountains will shoot
their cooling spray into the air. The
words, "Santa Fe Route" and Hutch
inson'' will be worked in white gravel
in prominent place.
The work Of scrapiug and grading
the ground has already been COM
menced. Hutchinson is to be congrat-
ulated on securing such favors.

irrigation Committee Meet.
The executive committee Of the Ar
kansas Valley Protective association
met Monday afternoon in the court
house. The most important thing in
the meeting was the report from Silas
Rutledge that the assistant chief engi-
neer of the government survey had
been to see him and said thst he
thought it possible that the govern
ment might take hand in the matter
and that by the proper move it might
be brought before Congress as an item
in river and harbOr Appropriation bill.
The people Of Arkansas are also in
terested in the matter, as the scarcity
Of water effects navigation below Little
Rock.
W. j. Babb was elected secretary of
the association in place of DR.. Graves
who RESIGNED. A committee was ap-
pointed to see the county commission
ers and the city council to ask aid for
carrying on a law suit against the users
of the water in Colorado Wichita

IN that part Of the town, for be left his
goret0 decorate good part Of the
street. After be was paid of he got
ready to leave on the evening train but
started to take the little hotel dog with
him, Mrs Masters objected and called
IN the police. He qUieLed down and
they left, saying they would stay
around. In q few minutes the trouble
began again, and he started of with
the dog, and Mrs Masters started with
him after the police. Then be began
striking ut her and the puFp jumped
down and made his escape. He fol-
lowed her back to the hotel abusing her
and Mr.. Masters ordered him out. The
reply was a coupleof quck hard jabs In
the ribs, T en- fight commenced in
which Mr., Masters forced him TO the
gutter and got him down. Finally be
was let up and Immediately ran up to
the plate glass window and began
smashing them with his fists. He broke
three before he was suppressed. Two
of them were not very large but the
third was pretty good size. His hands
were badly cut.
The police then came and took
charge of the man who was "havtng a
good time"
The above is the story given by Mrs.
Masters. The man Wenk, gives quite
a different version. He was visited at
the Jail by GAZETTE reporter and
says he never could get along with Mrs
Masters and had frequent quarrels with
her. He claimed that he was attached
to the dog and Mr.. Masters gave it to
him so he was determined to take it
with him. He further declares that
when the cog got away be had it by
the leg and she by the head, both pull
ing and the dog yelping presumably
Then she declared if she had a revolver
she would kill him, and at the same
time stabbed him with pocket knife.
1t is certain he was stabbed by some
one some how for he has very ugly
and possibly dangerous wound in his
right breast, another cut on back or
shoulder and some other slight wounds.
He says that he has two or three fits
week and after the fight with Mr..
Masters be had fit during which he
broke the glass and played so vigorously
with the police. For the three police
could scarcely manage him. Officer
Hedrick got a bad kick in the stomach.
After the officers bad got him in a
wagon he broke away from all three
and ran to a cab, jumped in and Or
dered the driver to drive him away.
The officers got in the cab and they
dorve him to the Jail.
The STAB wound in his breast seems
to be the worst and it appears as if it
was from this wound he bled so pro-
fusely. He admitted however, he had
been drinking. His home is in Kansas
City he says. He appears is be man
Of5thirty five or forty years of age and
is IA burly, heavy fellow.

Id w fiat on his back, so that he
has TO be carried about like
baby, he finally realizes that he Is a sick
man. Very frequently he has been sick
man for years, but has recklessly refused
to recognize natures warnings. Severe
illness is something that does not strike a
man like flash of lightning. II creeps
upon him by degrees, and at every step
warns him with a new danger signal.
When a man feels out of sorts " or
Knocked out, " or whatever he may call it,
he Is sick man. II is time to take warn
ing. Headaches, drowsiness, loss Of sleep
at night, loss of appetite, nervousness, bad
taste in the mouth in the morning, and
frightful dreams-all these are warnings Of
encroaching illness. DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery creates appetite, cures
dyspepsia, stimulates the liver, purifes the
blood, quickens the circulation and tones
the nerves II makes rich, red, tissue
building blood 1t builds firm flesh, but
does not make corpulent people more cor
pulent Unlike cod liver oil, it does not
make fabby flesh. On the contrary, it
tears down and excretes the unhealthy it's
sues that constitute corpulency, and re-
places them with the firm, muscular tissues
of good health. It cures % per cent of
all cases Of consumption. All bronchial,
throat and kindred ailments, as lingering
coughs, splitting of blood and weak lungs
are cured by it. Thousands have testified
to its merits. At all medicine stores.
It is a dealers business to give you
what you ask for not to tell you what
you want,
Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cure con.
stipation. Constipation is the cause of
many diseases. Cure the cause and you
cure the disease. One Pellet is a
gentle laxative, and two a mild cathar-
tic. Druggists sell them, and nothing is

The Republican County Convention
There is no place on earth where

sitiOn to Long In the convention to Sc
leet delegates TO the congressional and
State conventions last Thursday was
entirely without jar, or even differ
ence Of opinion, practically all the del
egates being for Long. Yet a man
whose republication cannot be doubted
who has been honOred by his party,
who is a gold standard man from crown
to shoe sole, says that the convention
on test vote stood II to 20 for and
against Long. He says that the test
came on a vote to determine the method
of selecting delegates, and the Long
fellows won by one vote.
The current belief seems to be that
the delegations are unanimous for Long
and Stanley. However we are told
that there are a number of delegates
who have other preferences and will
perhaps vote them. Following are the
delegates:
