WHO THEY ARE.
History of the Fellows Who
Sawed Their Way to
Liberty.

Evan Wallace and John Flynn, the
former aged "a and the latter 20, were
arrested by the city police during the
early part of this year on the charge Of
highway robbery. The homes the
young men are in this city. 1t Is charg-
ed against them that on the night Of
December 26th last, the two men, ac-
companied by Robert McLain, made an
assault upon two old citizens, Andrew
knobb and Andrew Arnold, at the in
tersection Of Tuscarawas street and
Brown aveune, late at night, while the
men were on their way home. The
prisoners were arraigned before the
mayor, pleaded not guilty, and were af-
terwards given preliminary hearing,
at which trial they were ably represen-
ted by attorneys. The testimony against
them was Of sufficient importance that
the mayor bound them over to await
the action Of the grand jury. The grand
jury indicted the three for assault with
intent to rob.
Frank Moore was arrested during the
fall of last year. Information was re-
ceived from Messrs Bast and Bamber-
ger at Massillon that he had secured a
horse and rig from them and failed to
return it. Later the police learned that
Moore had disposed of the outfit in a
nearby town. While the police were
investigating this story, a complaint
was filed against Moore charging him
with appropriating a pockethook he.
longing to Agnes Thompson of this
city. Moore was arrested and arraign.
ed before the mayor. He was adjudged
guilty of the crime and sent to the
workhouse. When his term was about
to expire the Massillon authorities were
informed and they came over and took
charge of Moore when he stepped ou. Of
the works, and placed him under arrest
and took him 70 Massillon to answer to
the charge of horse-stealing. 1t ap-
pears friends Of Moore approached the
liveryman and made offers of settle
ment, but the authorities did not rec
ognize such bargaining ana pushed the
case and Moore was bound over to the
grand jury. All three men had been
indicted and were awaiting trial. Wal
lace and Flynn were to be tried next
week in criminal court.

TRIED IT BEFORE.
Police Notified by the Sheriff
to Watch the Jail
Windows.

A story which gained circulation in
the police department a week or two
ago, was that an attempt had been
made by prisoners to effect an escape
from one Of the Jail windows at that
time. 1t is said that Sheriff Zaiser call
ed upon the officials of the police de-
partment and requested the men to
carefully patrol in the vicinity of the Jail
a. night. 1t is alleged that he stated
to the officers that he had discovered
several Of the fellows while they were
working at window or just afterwards
and frustrated the plans which they
had formed. The police paid more at
tention than usual to the jail windows
for few nights, but failed to appre-
hend any suspicious person In that vi
cinity.
BASEMENT SEARCHED.
Just as soon as the police had been
called over to the jail, Sheriff Iaiser
called upon night-watchman George
Schaffert, in the court house, and re-
quested him to make thorough search
Of the basement of the building
Schaffert Immediately responded to the
sheriff's orders and made the necessary
investigation, but he failed to find any
| trace of the fellows. For a time 1t was
believed that the men had entered one
of the basement windows Of the court
house and probably concealed them
selves therein. This theory was ex-
ploded with the same dispatch as that
of the Hurford house rumor, when
Schaffert made his report. The police.
however, were requested to remain in
| the vicinity of the court house and Jail
all night to apprehend any who acted in
, a suspicious manner or gave them cause
for apprehension during the night sea-
son. officers Rohn and Willis were on
duty about the square during the middle
part of the night, and they found Moth
ing to create alarm, respecting the es-
, cape.
AN EXCITED CROWD.
The first publicity given the escapade
Of the prisoners was probably through
the police department, by citizens who
{. overheard the officers speaking Of the
affair. Within fifteen minutes a crowd
OF several hundred people assembled
about that portion Of the jail from
whence the men made their escape. The
officers were compelled TO keep the peo-
pie away from the window, especially
. those who become to. curious.

HURFORD HOUSE
Was Watched by the Police as
the Men Might Have
Hidden There.

The gathering crowd was naturally
present at the point from which the
men made their escape. Runlors were
thick. and among them was one that
the men probably had entered the Hur-
ford house across the way. 1t was be-
lieved at that time that they probably
would meet friends who would furnish
them with DISCUSSES, and that they
would enter the building and assume
the disguise there. The police watched
the building, but no one was seen leav-
ing 1t and the rumor to them seemed
unfounded.

sistance. Naturally friends could have
met them outside the window and as
sisted in their escape or directed them
to place of safety. This also is sup
posed to have been the case. While

men and liverymen are not far away

stated that they saw no rigs driven rap

London, May 31.-Dispatches from
Pekin report that the Boxers who have
menaced foreign residents in the dis
turbed localities for some days, have
been overawed and driven away by
Chinese troops and that for the moment
the situation is better. There is strong
suspicion in diplomatic circles here that
this rose-colored report eminated from
Chinese government sources and is in
tended to- delay the march from Taku
and Pekin by foreign troops from the
warships in Taku harbor. A request
from the Russian commander for per-
mission to move his forces past the
Taku forts has been denied by the
Chinese government. Chinese officials
are using every subterfuge TO stay the
advance of foreign troops, and the
latest advices show that they have been
thus far successful. /, If the situation
warrants 1t, a. united demand will be
made by the powers for permission to
proceed. If this is refused sufficient
force will be landed from the warships
to force passage to the Chinese capi-
tai. According to dispatches British,
German. Russian. American, French,
italian and Japanese troops have been
landed at Taku, and are awiting COM
mand to go to Pekin to protect their
respective legations. The force ashore
aggregates 700 men. This will be largely
reinforced If 1t is necessary to force a
passage to Pekin.
MARINES LANDED.
Washington, May 31.-The following
from Rear Admiral Kempff, now with
the cruiser Newark at Taku, was re-
ceived at noon today, dated yesterday:
zone hundred men landed and sent to
Tien Tsin yesterday. Fifty of these go
to Pekin today. Other nations are land
ing men.
PEREMPToRY DEMAND.
Shanghi. May 31.-The foreign min
listers at Pekin have united in de-
mand for the instant removal Of all
obstructions to the dispatch Of foreign
troops inland from Taku. The Chinese
foreign office says it will reply to the
foreign representatives tonight.

a super,tition of Jim Corbetts.

a Superstition of Jim Corbett's.
Variety performers and baseball play
ers are responsible for two-thirds Of
the slang that italiclzes the American
language, and they are also to be held
accountable for a similar amount Of
the superstitions Of the day. They be-
heve firmly in "mascots" and "hoo-
DOCS" and so do large majority Of
fighters.
Anent this fact Billy Brady played II
low down on Corbett at Coney Island.
One Of Corbett's superstitions is that
Il Is unlucky for a fighter to be the first
to enter the ring when he IS about to
engage in a contest. He forced Sulll-
van to enter the ring first at New Or
leans, and he defeated him. He In
tended to make Jeffries enter the ring
orst at Coney Island. but Brady had
big Ed Dunkhorst wear blue sweater
similar to the one that incased Jeffries'
body. When the men left their dress
ing rooms, Jeffries preceded Corbett
and his seconds.
When they got to the ring. however,
5effries squatted down outside Of 1t,
and Dunkhorst. surrounded by Jeffries'
seconds, assembled the steps and took
seat on Jeffries' stool. Jeffries' sec
Unds then closed in around him, and
Corbett was notified that "Jeffries is
In the ring" He made his appearance
Immediately thereafter and entered the
riL,s clothed in a big bathrobe.
Hardly had he taken his seat on his
stool before Jeffries climbed into the
ring, dispossessed Dunkhorst and took
his seat IN bis corner. When Corbett
saw this msneuver, be was vislbly mo
mentarily chagrined.

commercInI Fertilizers.

Commercial fertilizers only benefit
the soil for the immediate crop, says
L Hardman In The Prairie Farmer.
Ny father used 20 use commercial fer
tilizers. and the crops then growing
were benefited. but the soil was left In
worse shape apparently than Ii MOTH
ing had been applied to II. Commercial
fertilizers are good for the vegetable
garden and strawberry bed and also
aid In securing a stand Of clover on
Door land, but further than this they
are detrimental. What most soils need
Is humus or partly decayed vegetable
matter, as well as the elements OF fer
tlllty, such as nitrogen, etc. There may
be ever so much plant food In the soil
or rather IN the subsoll, but II the soil
lacks humus 1t will do the growing
crop no good, because It is locked up
and needs something to mellow the soil
I'D and reach down into the subsoil and
bring the plant food up where the roots
Of the growing crops can get hold OF 1t.
This clover will do most thoroughly
and at the same time produce very
good paying crop. II the land is badly
worn out and you wish immediate re-
turns from II, apply light dressing OF
barnyard manure. The results viii be
very marked. II had land that would
produce 40 or more bushels Of corn per
acre under favorable conditions,
would plant two crops Of corn, one OF
small grain, then seed to clover again.
But II It would not produce that much
when the season was favorable
would take but one crop Of corn and
would prefer the crop Of small grain to
be rye or wheat rather than oats, as it
is not so exhaustIng to the soil. If my
soil was badly lacking In humus, was
run together and baked badly, would
pillow the second growth clover under,
otherwise l would pasture It of or
NOW either for hay or seed.

"when l was juvenile player In one
Of the fly by day leagues" says Nc
Graw, 81 saw the funniest ending to a
game Of baseball on record. The score
at II innings was still a tie, but the
visitors had last chance. Murphy came
to bat and sent a slashing hit to left.
The fielder chased the ball and so did a
stray dog. The canine got there first,
grabbed the ball in his mouth and
started to have some fun, dropping the
ball and then picking 1t up again when
the fielder got near. In the meantime
Murphy was making time around the
bases and long before the fielder sue
ceeded in sandbagging the kI-yi the
winning run was scored. There was
huge kick. but the umpire allowed the
run on the ground that the home club
should have kept the field clear of all
spectators"

For the Farmer.


The most permanent asset In all the
world, says Texas Farm and Ranch,
is land, not city lots-they are not land,
but merely foundations for buildings
but farm land, the source OF nearly all
wealth and the absolutely indispensable
factor in human existence. Land is al
80, and for the same reason, the most
stable IN value Of all property. The
history Of every financial panic shows
that when property OK every kind
comes tumblng down In value and on
ly money holds its own farm land
comes more nearly maintaining It's val
ne than any other species OF property.
Why is this? Because the products OF
the soil are necessary 10 life and must
be had at whatever cost and because,
no matter what occurs I'm the 1nan-
clal world. the farmer who owns bis
home has an assurance Of at least n
living and that he cannot be turned
out Of doors on account OF Inability TO
pay rent and being in the country he
is exempt from the burden Of munich
pal taxes, which weigh so heavily on
the city property owner. The city
landlord, unable to rent his property,
must sacrifice lt or be badly hurt by
the inevitable tax gatherer; hence city
property decreases In value with every
indication Of financial uneaslness. We
would not I'm consequence Of these facts
advise town people 70 rush out into the
country and buy farms, for most OF
them would be as much out OF place
there as n "whited sepulcher" In para
disc. Under present conditions we
must have towns, and towns must have
people, and these people must make
some money TO buy indispensable farm
products with, and then the farmer
must turn the money back to the town
people I'm exchange for things that do
not grow on farms, and thus the cur
rent Of commerce Is kept flowing, car
rying contentment to people In both
town and country. But II one wants
10 farm, wants to lead a life OF indie
pendence, with a full assurance that he
will not become a pauper no matter
what may happen in the stock market
there Is but one recourse, and that Is
to buy a farm or buy land and make
farm; 20 to work, and, come what may,
after awhile he can sit under his own
grapevine and fruit tree, and nobody
may make him afraid. The time VIII
come-is comlng-when even this ref
uge will be hard to reach, for farm
land will continue to increase In value
on account of its Importance In the
economy Of human life.
