is AGAIN AT LIBERTY,
Sci Temple, the Oklahoma Outlaw,
Breaks Jail.

Pond Creek, o. T., Oct. 16.-Sol
Temple, the outlaw, again made his
escape from Jail here when Sheriff
Butts and his daputy were out of town
and the Jail was guarded only by the
jailer and an assistant. BY some
means Temple secured a revolver and
as the jailer passed his cell Temple
came out of the cell and forced the
jailer to go inside and then locked the
door. The jailer's assistant appeared
on the scene at this time and he also
was locked in a cell by Temple.
Temple had been gone two hours be-
fore it was known outside the Jail that
he had escaped. He is under several
indictments but the sheriff has never
been able to hold him long enough to
get him tried

Gang Of Robbers Makes an Unsuccess.
Tul Attempt to Rob an Ohio Bank,

ful Attempt 10 Hcb an ONO Bank.
Trio, O., Oct. 16.-A gang of seven
robbers made an unsuccessful attempt
to blow the Farmers and Citizens
bank here early in the morning. Four
charges of dynamite failed to crack
the strong box. The citizens were
aroused by the noise of the explosion
and by the ringing Of church bells and
a battle took place in the streets. The
robbers went to Daughtery's livery
stable, where they bound the man in
charge and stole two rigs in which
they escaped. One of these was de-
serted near Gallon and the other at
Ontario. The latter bore marks Of
blood, showing that the aim of the
citizens had been good. Bloodhounds
have been secured and are on the trail
of the bandits. Farmers. all over the
country have been aroused and are
assisting in the search. A reward of
$500 has been offered for the arrest of
the gang.

Speaking of the matter Judge Vonson-

IF Pat Grove appears before me I
shall treat him in the matter of bonds
and in every other way just as I
should treat any other criminal. I
certainly shall not bind myself in ad-
vance to fix his bond at any certain
amount. Of course, if he comes in
and surrenders himself voluntarily,
that will be a circumstance that will
be taken into consideration in the
fixing of the bond"

Columbia, Mo-, Oct. 16.-Twenty-
nine students were suspended from
Missouri university during the day for
hazing. They will not be allowed to
re-enter school until each of them has
made a written apology to their vic
tim, L. L. Thompson Of Slater, Mo-,
and likewise pledged themselves to
good behavior during the rest of the
school year. It is probable that all
will accept the conditions and re-
enter. The students voluntarily con-

Connivance
London, Oct. 16.-"The belief is
growing here,' says a dispatch to The
Standard from Constantinople, 'Fthat
the Bulgarian and not the Turkish
government is responsible for the re-
tention Of Miss Stone, whose capture
was committed with the connivance of
Macedonian agitators, if not with that
Of higher authorities. The attitude of
the latter toward brigand bands is
most suspicious and very different
from what it was during the time OF
Stambuloff.''
The Times has the following from
it's Vienna correspondents:
1.-THE Sofia correspondent of The
Poster Lloyd says that Todaroff, the
driver who accompanied Miss Stone
when she was kidnapped, has been ar
rested on suspicion Of connivance.
He is Bulgarian protestant from
are regarded as authentic. Todaroff
asserts that Miss Stone, accompanied
by Zirikoff and his wife, by Dimitroff
and three women teachers, all Bull
garians, was stopped by brigan6s Sept
6, toward 6 o'clock in the evening in
a narrow pass in the road leading
from the village of Bankso to Dinmaia
in Turkey. The brigands took Miss
Stone and Nine. Kirkoff away and left
men to guard the Others This guard.
however, disappeared the following
morning, leaving all the luggage and
horses behind. Todaroff's attempt to
represent the brigands as Turks is
considered suspicious. The fact that
the brigands left the luggage IN
touched is held to confirm the belief
that their sole object was to fill the
empty pockets of Macedonian adven-
turers. Todaroff declares that the
closing Of the frontier in those dis
tricts is quite illusory, as he crossed
without a passport and declares that
ne did not meet any frontier guards
Turkey Will Have to Pay.
"The United States government will
insist that Turkey Immediately make
good any deficit in the subscription for
the ransom of Miss Stone" says the
Constantinople correspondent of The
Daily Telegraph, land also refund the
full amount subscribed.'
ut is supposed that the brigands
who captured Miss Stone have with.
drawn into the interior of Macedonia

dispatch to The Daily Telegraph from
Sofia. "Former members of the Ma
cedonian committee who were ar

edge Of the affair."

says dispatch from Vienna to The
Daily Express, F'have been killed by
the band that kidnapped Miss Stone"
The Daily News, in all editorial
upon the case of Miss Stone, while
sympathizing with the efforts in her
behalf, expresses the opinion that the
payment of such large ransom is
very questionable proceeding.
Turkey could easily stamp out
brigandage," says The Daily News,
'*but so long as benevolent foreigners
will pay high ransoms why should the
Turks trouble themselves? 2"
