ROLE OF JOHN ROBERTS
SENSATION THAN AT FIRST

WAS TO ESCAPE IN A TRUNK
Plan Had Been Made fer "a Getaway
for Convict Leland EARLY Last
Fall, but 1t Fell
Through.

SALTWATER, March 12.-If every
thing that is being said about John
Roberts connection with the plot to free
Edward Leland from the prison is true,
1t is plainly evident that he was one of
the ringleaders in the affair instead of
playing minor role, as was at first sup
posed. Yesterday 1t became known that
Roberts connection with the conspiracy
dates further back than that of Guard
Cunningham. IT appears that early last
fall Leland managed to fall into the good
graces Of Roberts while he was a guard
at the prison and induced him to attempt
to bride Michael Gatzke, who hauls all
freight in and out of the prison for the
shoe company Roberts, it is said, offer
ed Gatzke $780, providing he would haul
Leland out of the prison yard in a truck
Sample trunks are frequently sent out
to the shoe companys travelling men,
and it was explained to Gatzke that the
job could be done without the slightest
suspicion being thrown upon him. Gatzke
refused to consider the offer and soon
afterwards Roberts resigned to accept,
as he said, a better position in Mime
apolis.
Warden Wolfer was asked yesterday If
this report was true, and replied that he
had heard of it, but had no conversation
with Gatzke in the matter and couldn't
verify it. The information, however
came from a reliable source.

PANIES' TAX OPEN TO
SUSPICION
REAL ESTATE is EXEMPT
Nothing to Hinder Corporations
From Holding Valuable Prop
erty Free of All
Taxation.

From present indications the express
companies in Minnesota will have to
submit to gross earnings tax of per
Tcent in the future, which is an increase
OF per cent. Notwithstanding this,
however, they win have gained a valu-
able piece of legislation, if the action of
the house in recommending for passa ge
the Nichols bill yesterday is carried
into effect. Under the provisions of this
act the express companies would not
have to pay taxes upon their real estate
within the state. Whether the bill will
pass is of course, not certain, but there
are very strong probabilities that it
will.
The present law which governs the
. taxation of express companies was en-
acted in 1899 and provides a tax upon the
gross earnings of the companies amount
ing to 8 per cent. Under this law the
real estate is taxed. Mr.. Nichols bill
, originally proposed a tax of per cent
and the exemption of the real estate
from taxation. The committee left the
latter provision intact, but amended the
former so as to fix the tax at per cent
instead of g. This amendment is ac-
ceptable to the house.
When this proposition was before the
legislature two years ago. Senator Miller,
who is the original aAthor of the bill,
introduced the measure in the senate,
and Representative Dyer, who was Mr..
Nichols predecessor presented it to the
house. Senator Miller introduced the
bill in the senate again this year. The
action of the house this time is just
opposite from that of two years ago. The
bill was passed in. 1899, making the gross
earnings tax of per cent in lieu of all
other taxes upon all property, leaving
thereby the companies real estate sub
ject to taxation The real estate owned
by the various companies in the state
represent a vast sum of money, upon
which the taxes would be large, and the
opponents of the bill are at a loss to
justify the exempting this property from
taxes.
Mr. Laybourn of Duluth, is the ag-
gressor in fighting the bill. He has
made a persistent fight against the
measure from the first, but thus far has
been unsuccessful and the only chance
of his accomplishing the defeat or amend-
ing the measure, is to muster sufficient
force to head it off when it comes up on
. the calendar for final passage. The st.
Louis member yesterday sent up an
amendment to the bill, which leaves the
law lust as it was enacted two years
ago. that is, as it relates to the levying
of the tax upon real estate. The amend
ment was lost.
MI Laybourn held that it is gross
Injustice to exempt the large amount OF
real estate which the companies own
from taxation and as well a legislative
blunder. 'There is no reason said MI
Lavbourn. why express companies IN
this state cannot buy up the most Valu-
able property and hold it free OF taxa

Advice of a Famous Physician.
First and foremost, REST.
Take care of yourself. Your already
weakened nerves want rest, and must
have 1t. If the attack is severe, go to
bed and remain there. More fatalities
result from the neglect of this precau-
ton than from any other cause.
Eat sparingly. Your digestive organs
are in no condition to take care of large
quantities Of food
Drink plenty Of pure, cold water It
allays the fever, stimulates the kidneys
to action and opens up the pores of the
skin. Keep the bowels open with DR..
Niles Nerve and Liver Pills.
Take three doses OF DR.. Miles Neryine
per day and If you cannot sleep take an
extra dose at bedtime. To further con-
troll the fever, and to overcome the ne
culiar aches and pains OF grip, use DR.
Miles Pain Pills. They act quickly and
effectually, and no bad effects result
from their use. These remedies have
been thoroughly tested more than a
million times. and their efficiency is thor
oughly established. They never fail to
give relief. a1sg
