most daring deliveries in the history Of
the Territory.
All 0 fthe men have been captured ex-
cept Trimble, Reed and Harden. The
charges are minor against them, but
the officers think that they VIII be ap-
pretended tomorrow morning. A number
OF the prisoners were being given their
weekly baths this afternoon. One was
loosed from his cell and sent to the
basement to the tub at a time. There
were only two guards on duty. Their
names are c. /. Billings and Charles
Thompson. Billings was at the guard
stand with his back to the door. Thomp-
son went to the door to admit man with
some drinking water and just at that
time Stanheld came upstairs. He imme-
diateiy vaulted TO the guard stand and
secured one of the revoIvers lying on the
table. He commanded Billings to throw
up his hands. The cages were unlocked
next and the men filed out There were
Sc men in the jail and all had a chance to
get away. Before six o'clock all the men
Of Importance to the officers had been
recaptured and placed in the Jail. Welty
was shot through the hand before he
was captured. Barclay and Brummitt
gave up to Joe Severns, with the under
standing that they were not to be hurt
By the posse.
It IS considered one of the luckiest
jail deliveries that has ever occurred in
Oklahoma and especially so as two of the
men are under sentence to be hanged
and another to be tried at the next term
Of court for murder. A large crowd of
people turned out to assist in the search

notified by Marshal Thompson and his
deputy, Ned Sisson. Of the jail delivery.

FAMINE
CAR FAMINE EXPECTED ON OK
LAHOMA RAILROADS.
Demand for Cars During Wheat
Shipping Overwhelming.

Oklahoma, July 5.-Local grain dealers
have been notified that as a result of the
big western wheat crop western railroads
anticipate one of the greatest car famines
Of several years within the next sixty
days. Russell Harding, third vice-presi-
dent of the Missouri Pacific, who was in
Kansas City recently. admitted this and
stated that western lines were now max
ing all possible preparations for handling
the enormous wheat yield The prepa-
ratiOns, he said. consisted OF repairing
equipment and keeping all cars in which
grain can be handled from going FAR of
the respective lines.
Reports received by commercial agents
estima ting the number of cars needed
at respective points In Kansas, Oklahoma
the Indian territory and Nebraska, show
that railroad operating departments will
be unable to cope with the demands for
equipment as soon as the rush opens
Last year and years previous western
railroads were able to borrow consider
able equipment from eastern railroads
during the grain rush, but this year the
general freight movement throughout the
country IS so heavy that but few If any
cars can be secured from the east. IN
view Of the anticipated demand for cars,
western roads are now refusing to con
tract for the transportation OF cheap
freight during the next two months.
In order to guard against a grain block
ade at Kansas City the Kansas City lines
have agreed to set apart special tracks
for grain which is to be inspected and to
tack Uniform card on each car contain
ing grain ready for inspection. This viii
greatly facilitate the work Of the grain
inspectors, and 1t is hoped that the ar
rangement win prevent anything in the
nature OF a blockade. AS the gulf ports
this year are expected to handle fair
percentage of the western wheat crop,
the movement through Kansas City viii
probably not be as heavy as last year

ALWAYS HATRD EVIL,
Chicago PhilanthrOpist Who Ao-
CURED a Fortune honestly.
some Facts About DR.. Pearsons whS
Is Dispensins HIS Money to Needx
Colleges and Schools he
fore His Death.

DIR. ID. X. Pearsons, the aged mil
lionaire of Chicago, who is giving
away his large fortune, is not a ply
stefan, as his title might imply. IL
came to him in the annual DISPENSE
ton of college honors. He was a.
shrewd sharp business man during
his active life. The architect Of his
own fortunes, he made his money ia
Chicago by taking advantage of OPP
portunities during lis years of rapid
development. He was real estate
expert, and great deal of his prop
erty was accumulated by judicious in
vestments in that line.
Twenty-three years ago DR.. Pear
sons was just beginning TO attract at
tention. He was already a man Of
wealth, but the general public knew
little about him. One day, however
when Chicago had become very much
Disguised by boodling and other scan
dals in the city government, an era of
reform was ushered in and Dr. Pear
sons was elected a member Of the So
called reform common council He
was tall and straight. with the black
est of hair and the sharpest of eyes.
which he devoted TO scanning every
Granny of the city hall and every
phase of public affairs. He saw a
grab in every ordinance introduced
into the council until he proved it to
be honest. He became known as the
great objector and the watchdog OF
the treasury. Professional aldermen
and other ward politicians hated him
like poison and he reciprocated the
sentiment.
One day it was found that Chicago
did not have money enough in it's
treasury to pay the interest on its
bonds Money must be raised or the
city would default in its obligations
DR.. Pearsons arose in the couccit
chamber to make this suggestion:

"What a shame" cried Cissie, with
0 flash of girlish petulance, which
gave an added loveliness to her oval
face. "TheTe ought to be law made
to protect such beautiful old houses
from the eccentricities Of landlords.
It is falling to pieces with neglect, and
yet he will not let you have it. How

The man was rejoiced to hear her
speaking SO vehemently, and straight
way took his courage in both hands.
"There is just one hope for me, Miss
Melville" said he, leaning forward in
his chair and lowering his voice lit
tie, "but l fear it is rather forlorn
one. Old Williams objects to me be-
cause am a bachelor. If / will agree
to marry, and promise TO give no noisy
parties, he will sell me the house"

cheeks, and all unconsciOusly she

her palpitating bosom.

condition like that" she said, trying
to smooth a telltale catch out of her
voice. "Noisy parties are not fash

nestly, "but not always to the women

Miss Melville, and l want to marry

not have me, l shall remain bachelor

"And the manor will be doomed"
said Cissie, in hurried undertone.
Exactly" he replied, letting his
hand fall pleadingly on hers, "unless
you will it otherwise, Miss Melville"
There was no installing his tender
meaning now. Though his words

were hoarse and broken, Cissie could
feel his fingers trembling conclusive

returned to her face in joyous
stream.

went on, ready at the lightest sign TO

dimpling smile.

borrow money with which to pay our
interest. We can raise all the money
we need from our common people
right here in the city. Let us issue a
popular loan and invite everybody to
take a little of it until we have bOr-
rowed 100000"
So this was done The loan was not
advertised through the banks Of the
city, but was passed over the coun-
ter of the treasurer's Office, and the
greater part of it was taken by those
who had only few hundred dollars
to invest and usually put their money
in savings banks. In few days the
loan was entirely taken and there
were hundreds of investors. The pop
ular loan was a great success.
One day, says the New York Sun,
DIR. PearsOns met o newspaper report
err of thrifty turn who had saved
5000 and invested il in the popular
loan. "MF. JONES'" said DIR. Pearsons,

This incident was characteristic OF
the man. He has always been a friend
TO everybody whom he thought tried
to do right. He has hated evil doors
with more bitterness and vigor of de-
nunciatiOn than is often seen; but he
would lend q helping hand to the
worthy, and was particularly interest
ed in ambitious young fellows who
were beginning their career. But no
humbug could impose upon him. No
