One u the Biddles Dead, Another Dr.
Ing and the Neman Whs Aided
Them in Breaking jail Is
Slightly Hsunded.

Pittsburg, Fet. Edward Biddle
die in jail. dying, John Biddle riddled
with bullets and buckshot and in q
precarious condition, and Mrs. Peter
X. Soffel lying in the hospital with a
self-infiicted bullet wound In the
breast, is the sequel OF the sensation
al escape of the Biddles from the PEN
ltentiary, aided by Mrs Scffel. the wife
OF the jail warden. on Thursday morn
ing.
The story of the close Of the Biddle
tragedy is thrilling The scene vas
a snow-covered road two miles east OF
Prospect, Butler county. and the exact
place was at McClure's barn. where
two double team sleighs filled with
eight officers. three of them Pittsburg
detectives, overlook the Biddles In a
one-horse sleigh, stolen at Perrysville.
Mrs. Sosfels wound was through the
breast.
Edward Biddle was shot in the left
arm and in the breast and in one leg.
John BidGle was riddled with buck
shot in the breast and head.
The BidaIss aad Mrs. Soffel ate din
ner at J. ] Stevens at Mount Chest
nut. Eve miles east Of Butler. They
had made a detour OF two towns of
Butler and after going several miles
east, turned north and then west. The
Pittsburg officers, only a few miles
In the rear. took the wrong road for
about eight miles but when they found
their mistake, they made up for lost
time by telephoning and telegraphing
ahead for fresh horses. They reached
Mount Chestnut not less than half an
hour after the Biddles and Mrs Scot
fell AT this point they secured fresh
horses
The two sleighs with the eight off,
GERS aboard. started westward and
met the Biddles and Mrs, Soffel at Me
Clure's barn, two miles from Mount
Prospect, the Biddles having learned
that they were almost overtaken and
taking what they considered the only
chance they had driven eastward and
met their doom.
When the detectives and officers
came within so yards of the fugitives
they opened fire with Winchesters.
The Biddles promptly answered with
shotguns. Mrs. Soffel, too. stood up in
the sleigh with a revolver in each
hand and blazed away at her pursuers.
When Edward Biddle fell, and she saw
, she was about TO be captured she fred
a bullet into her breast. An examina-
ton by physicians shows that she will
recover, as the bullet was detected by
her corset. and the wound is compare
lively slight
Edward Biddle got a bullet in the
right breast which penetrated the
hung. and which will probably end his
life
John BiddIe may recover, his wounds,
though numerous, failing to reach a
vital spot
The escape OF the officers is mirac-
ulous. The Biddles have demonstrate
| ed on several occasions that they are
good marksmen. and why they should
have failed TO bring down their men
| Is mystery.
After the Biddles fell, the officers
| picked up the apparently iifeless body
| OF Mrs Soffel and the bodies OF the
| Riddles and came back to Butler,

WHY STAY PALE?

A pity to see pale girls stay
pale and dull when it is so
easy to get SCOTS Emulsion.
SCOTS Emulsion does few
things well. One of them is
to give rich red blood to pale
girls. There is a reason for it.
But perhaps you are more
interested in results than in
reasons.
The result of steady daily
doses of SCOTS Emulsion
is an increase not only in
the red color of the blood and
in the appetite but in the good
looks and bright manners
which are the real charm of
good health.
SCOTS Emulsion is blood
food.

said Mr. Cortelyou, "and his respira.
ton is weaker. but his pulse is bet
ter"
He also said that there was no i'm.
mediate change, only the natural
progress of the disease. He an
nounced that the disease had spread
and involved both lungs.
This unfavorable turn warned the
president that the most skillful medi.
cal treatment was necessary, and so
he called to the aid OF Drs. Shattuck
and Warren his family physician, Dr.
Alexander Lambert, of New York, an
eminent practitioner and man well
acquainted with the boys physique.
During yesterday frequent word was
received from the sick room through
Mr. Cortelyou that everything showed
that the boys condition was un-
changed, although last night Mr.. Cor.
telyou said he had had hard day
The condition of young Theodore
Roosevelt, Jr., at 2.30 this morning
was very serious. for lights could be
seen in the infirmary, and nurses and
doctors we're moving around. The
