A Whole Regiment of News Items

CAPTURED FOR BRIEF READING.
a Bold and Daring Attempt at Jail De-
livery at Kalamazoo was Discovered
by Omcials In the NICK of Time
Warden Morse's Report for September
Daring Attempt at Jail Delivery.

A most daring attempt at Jail deliv-
cry was discovered at Kalamazoo on
the Cd. The prisoners in the cage had
literally torn it to pieces and were
awaiting chance for a suitable OPP
portunity to escape. BY means OF
Hrenches and saws the big iron bar
that releases the door to the cell and
other bars had been loosened and fas-
tened up with wires. The large steel
hinge three inches wide, had been
pried and broken by use of one OF the
big steel bars previously loosened. The
prisoners had the cage so well wrecked
that when the suitable time arrived
they could. by loosening few small
wires, open the cage and walk out.
Then they would have very quickly
made their escape from the interior of
the Jail by means of the iron bars. The
men in the cage were Larry Spellman,
awaiting trial for the Richland bank
robbery; Holsinger, sentenced last
week TO jackson for burglary; John
Thompson, alleged horse thief, and
Frank Webb, charged with trying to
get books containing saws and files to
Slater and Allison, Richland bank
robbers.

WAR NOTES,

Aguinaldo's third attempt 10 shit
his difficulties into the field of diplo-
macy is n repetition of the other one
or two, with an impossible endeavor
TO obtain some sort of recognition of
his so-called government. The Fill
pino ENJOYS had an hours conference
with Gen Otis on the 1st. They
brought from Aguinaldo n message
that he desired peace and wished to
send civilian governmental commits
sion to discuss the question. Gen. Otis
replied that it was impossible for him
TO recognize Aguinaldo's government
in that way. They presented letter
from Aguinaldo as president OF the
republic" which was largely repeti-
tion of his recent appeals for recogni-
ton. Gen. Otis informed them that
while he was willing to correspond
with Aguinaldo as general of the in
surgent forces, he must positively de-
cline to recognize him as president OF
the civil government.

The Lord has Advised Kruger to Fight.

A Cape Town correspondent says:
Persons enjoying the confidence of the
Transvaal government assures the
Transvaal that a five-year franchise
would secure peace, the other questions
being dealt with by the reformed re-
public gradually or by arbitration, all
existing difficulties will disappear. A
friend of President Kruger at Cape

hours the other night and afterwards
said he was perfectly happy. The

Game warden's Report for September.
Game Warden Morse reports that
the work of his department last month
was confined to n general enforcement
of the game and fish laws, including
second inspection of the commercial
fisheries. With very few exceptions

as regards the size of the mesh and
the retention of immature fish, the de-
crease in the number and extent of the
seizures proving this. The total num-
Der of cases investigated during the
month was los. There were 9S prose
eutions commenced. These resulted in
81 convictions, two acquittals, three
dismissals, while 80 cases are pending
The total amount of fines and costs i'm
posed was S7s3. O5, and the value of the
fish and nets seized $500. %. Forty
seven of the cases for violation of the
game laws and 81 for violations of the
fish laws.
