ESCAPED FROM STATE PRISON.
George Wrand Makes Sensational Els
cape From Anamosa.

cape From AnamOsas
Anamosa, April 3O.-A sensational
escape was made from the Anamosa
penitentiary some time between 12 and
l o'clock Saturday morning. George
Wrand, who was doing siN-year term
for burglary, made his way from the
dynamo room into the prison yard and
in some manner scaled the walls. All
efforts up to the present time to cap
ture him have been futile. Wrand was
working in the electrical department.
The electrician had placed the prison
er on his honor, saying that as yet he
had never lost a man under him, and
in view of the fact that he was about
to sever his connections with the pris-
on, he hoped to be able to continue his
good record. The officials discovered
Saturday that Wrand had contemplat.
ed making his escape for some time.
He had prepared bunch of skeleton
keys and tried them in the doors. Fri
day night Wrand made another effort
to get the keys perfected, and in SO
doing broke one of them in the lock.
He reasoned that as soon as that fact
became known to the officials he
would lose his job in the dynamo room
and be placed in the stone shed. where
all opportunity for escape would be
cut off. 1t was go then or serve his
full time, which would include about
eight months of good time that was
credited to him. While the guard was
absent he filed bar from the door
and escaped.

! BOARD WILL VISIT AsYLUms.
Cownie, Kline and Ro binson VIII In
yestigate County lnstItutions.

Des Moines, April 3o.-The state
board of control has decided to make
the first visits to the county and pri-
vate institutions which care for the
insane. The law, as passed by the leg
islature, provides that the board may
make the visit or employ any other
person to do it. The board has decitl-
ed that as it must formulate rules for
the government of the institutions
and the care of the inmates on the
basis of the visits made to the insti-
tutions, it should make the visits it
self. Therefore, the state will be di-
vided into three districts and the men,
bers of the board will make the visits
this summer. 1t is expected that the
institution will all be visited and the
rules formulated by fall. Subsequent
visits may be made by other persons.
The board visited the Mitchellville
institution on Saturday, getting up at
A o'clock to make the visit during the
forenoon. The institution is in excel
lent condition. The new heating plant
was located.
+. c. William has been appointed as
sistant deputy warden at the peniten-
tiary at Anamosa by Warden Hunter,
in place of Odell. The board of con
troll was notified to thet effect by War
den Hunter Saturday.

Meelins Was a Failure.

Des Moines, April 3O.-The Iowa
board OF railway commissioners mas
returned from it's trip to st. Louis,
and the members pronounce the joint
meeting of commissioners from Hi
pois, Missouri and Iowa fiasco. The
three boards met pursuant to request
at the Southern hotel in st. Louis,
Thursday morning, and had been to-
gether not more than ten minutes
when the Illinois commissioners ad-
mitted that the meeting was called
at the instigation of certain Illinois
railroad interests, just as the Iowa
commissioners had been led to be-
lleve before the members took the
trip to st. Louis. 1t also developed
that the Missouri board knew no more
about the real inwardness of the
call than the Iowa board knew when
lit accepted the invitation, and with a
rather disgusted feeling all around
the three commissions declared them
selves adjourned sine die.

where he called up Chicago by long

ored to ascertain whether the girl

respondent, Ohler said:
Her name is Minnie NJ. Wray. She

known her nine or ten years, but do
not know any of her folks, except ono
brother, a George Wray, who lives at

from Miss Wray. He left for Chicago
last night. He came to Moline on
February Is last, from Ottumwa, Ia,
where he was agent for the American
Express company.
The trunk arrived in Rock Island
yesterday and Captain Colleran re-

CATTLE MEN ARE REJoIcED.
Range Herds Come Thru Winter in
Excellent Shape.

Salt Lake City, Utah, April GOV.
t. Anderson, travelling live stock
agent of the Santa Fe railway, pass
ed thru Salt Lake City Saturday, en-
route from the annual meetings of
the Range Cattle Growers association
of the Dakotas and Montana, just
held at Miles City and Helena. These
meetings directly and indirectly rep
resent the cattle ranges of the entire
northwest. He reports that a thoro
canvass of these cattlemen develops
a concurrence of opinion that the cat
tie thruout the entire range country,
embracing the upper Missouri valley
and its tributaries, including the Yel-
lowstone and Milk river country,
came thru the winter in excellent con
dition with only nominal loss.
Thruout the region mentioned the
coming of grass will average from
three weeks to a month earlier than
usual. This condition of things eN-
lists equally favorable all along the
line of pastures and ranges from the
Rio Gran.e river to the northwest ter
ritory.
