BOLD DASH FOR LIBERTY.
Prisoner Escapes Sheriff johnson
but Ii Recaptured.

but In Recaptured.
j. c. Davis, a. prisoner convicted Of
burglary on two counts, and on his way
to saltwater in charge Of Sheriff Johnson
OF Austin, made desperate break for lib
erty shortly after noon yesterday while
In the city for a few hours between
trains. After short, but exciting chase.
he was recaptured and left on the after
noon train for the state prison in com
pany with the sheriff. his deputy and
Warden Wolfer. who happened to be In
the city.
Sheriff johnson arrived in the city yes
terday afternoon with his prisoner, ac-
companied by a deputy. He took the
man to Louis Petersons restaurant. 81s
Sibley street, for lunch. The prisoner
was heavily handcuffed and the officers
relaxed their watchfulness slightly, think
Ing him safe. Sheriff johnson left the
table where all there were eating, after
finishing his meal and went to the rear
OF the room to wash his hands. He left
his deputy in charge of the burglar.
AS soon as the sheriff's back was turn
ed, the man rose from his chair and in a
second was at the front door trying to
get out. His handouts bothered him
and he could not easily turn the latch.
and this slight delay gave the officers an
advantage. They got to the door Just as
the prisoner escaped outside and dashed
across the street. Several persons who
were passing at the time followed on a
run, accompanied by the officers.
But for an accident the man might cas-,
lily have escaped entirely, but he mistook
the blind alley in the rear of the Seabury
wholesale house for a free passage, and
was soon cornered against the brick wall
OF building which blocks the passage
at a distance Of fifty feet from the side
walk. He was taken back to the req
taurant and later taken to Saltwater.

POLICE PATROL SYSTEM.
Gustave WiIlius Jr. Finds Many De.
fectS In If

Gustave Willius Jr. Finds Many De-
fects in 1t.
In compliance with a resolution of the
city council, Gustave Willius, Jr, city
electrical engineer, yesterday submitted
report to the mayor. His Investigations
consisted in inspecting and examining the
central station and sub-stations equip
ments, booths, patrol boxes. telephones
and the line work of the entire system.
Mr.. Willius recommends many changes
and improvements, among which are en-
tlrely dispensing with the booths. but if
they are retained new style should be
adopted, and repairing such present
booths as would warrant a reasonable ex-
penditure.
That complete telephone system be
acquired by the city, placing a telephone
in connection with each patrol box
Replacing all present boxes with patrol
boxes Of modern design, and If this is not
done, all in use at present should be
oyerhauled and have positive cut-outs
added. Twelve new boxes should be add
ed, making a total of 100.
The circuits throughout the entire sys-
tenn should be rearranged.
A change should be made to the central
energy system and adopting a storage
battery, or dispensing with batteries en-
t1rely, except for telephone purposes
The registers and relays should be re-
newed.
Proper stable equipments should be in
stalled In all patrol wagon stables.
An officers call bell should be added to
every box.
He recommends the consideration of the
Feasibility of new system throughout;
one embracing all the essential features
above mentioned, one which is simple in
detail and not using relays, registers.
complicated patrol boxes or a large num-
Der Of batteries.
AS to whether or not the superintendent
of the police patrol telegraph and his as
sistants have performed their duty prop
erly, Mr.. Willius says, taking into con-
sideration the condition of the system
and the difficulties encountered in sue
cessfully operating the system, 1t would
not be Just to find fault with the manner
In which the system Is being operated:
on the contrary, it is surprising that even
the present results are attained"

Pile Cure Will Cure Him; Give In
slant Relief.
Just little pain may so distract a
mans life that it will cost him hundreds
of dollars. Life is a battle. To succeed
one needs all his energies and all his
brain force to apply to the question at
hand Even corn will make him ir-
ritable, cross, angry-and an angry man
seldom succeeds. The trifling pain of a
corn is pleasant feeling besides the
hgoniZing ache of piles. That is a pain
which seems to pervade the whole body
1t communicates itself to all parts near
the seat of the trouble and brings on q
heavy dragging feeling in the perineum.
Those who do not so suffer do not know
what it means 1t racks the nerves, pre-
vents sleep, prevents concentrated
thought and makes a man lose flesh as
fast as he would with a virulent' fever.
And yet piles are looked upon as a
little thing. They are neglected-allowed
to run on from month to month and
from year to year By and by comes
surgical operation. Maybe 1t cures-may-
be 1t kills.
There Is only one sure, safe and quick
cure for piles. 1t is the Pyramid Pile
Cure. 1t is recent discovery and its
properties are such that 1t cleanses,
soothes and heals the inf1amed parts, re-
duces the inflammation at once and with
continued treatment, removes oil swell
ing and all trace of disease. 1t puts the
membranes in healthy active condition
and cures completely and permanently.
From c. F. Collins, Garnet: ct com
menced using the Pyramid Pile Cure, but
my case was so bad that was afraid
the remedy would fail, but before had
used two-thirds Of a package 1 began to
feel much better and I can honestly say
l am entirely cured. 1t is the quickest
and surest remedy 1 have ever heard Of"
From Josiah Roberts, Port Dram, N. J..
Just one-quarter of a package of the
Pyramid Pile Cure did wonders for me
and have lost no opportunity of recon-
mending such wonderful remedy
From VIM. McHale, Rockport Mass
