THREE GUARDS ARE KILLED.
Desperate Oregon State Prisoners
Flee to the Woods After
Staying Guardsmen.

Salem, Ore, June 10.-Two desperate
prisoners, Henry Tracy and David Mer-
rill, escaped from the penitentiary after
killing three guards, Frank Farrell, S.
r. Jones and Ben Tiffany.
The prisoners had marched into the
foundry for work, when Tracy appeared
suddenly with a rifle and shot Guard
Farrell, killing him almost instantly.
Ingram, a life prisoner, attempted to
take the rifle from Tracy when Merrill
shot Ingram through the leg, shattering
it. The other prisoners, forced at the
point of the pistol. permitted the two
men to climb a ladder to the wall. Out
side they shot Guard Jones. Guard Tiff
fanny, after being wounded, followed the
men, shooting at them until they killed
him. The prisoners then escaped into
the woods. A posse is after the pris-
oners and has them located in the
woods. A battle is expected.

nothing to do with the fact that our

Is, he Panama isn't our style. A man

FLORIDA AS A SUGAR STATE.
An Amazing Estimate of the States
Resources.

One OF the best agricultural authori-
ties in Florida declares that there are
5,0OO 900 waste acres in that state cas-
lily capable of profitably producing TO-
100000 tons of sugar cane. That
would mean h production of all the
sugar the American public demands,
and leave a tremendous surplus for ex-
portation and sale in foreign markets
at prices that would AXE and hold those
markets.
Our annual consumption of sugar now
is about 2,400,0 900 tons, or less than one
quarter the amount that the Florida
lanas are safely estimated as capable OF
producing annually. For the sugar we
are compelled to import we pay about
$4,000, 900 per year. In addition, we
pay an exhorbitant tax tt the sugar
trust for refining the raw sugars and
distributing the product to the people
of the nation. All these enormous sums
could be saved to the nation, and large
ly to the individual families, by the oc-
%cupation and cultivation of the waiting
sugar lands of Florida.
1t seems rather strange that the en-
terprising officials and citizens of Flor
Ida do not at once take up this matter
In a practical way and so exploit these
lands and opportunities as to attract to
them settlers and capital that will real
lie their possibilities. If they could
only organize and carry out a successful
boom in sugar raising they might
easily, and within a few years, build
up an industry that would of itself be
almost a state monopoly and create a
trade of increasing millions annually,
the profits of which would be reaped
and spent by the Flcrida people.
Now is the day of salvation for the
South. Eager yes and president capt.
tai are turning to her rich and unoe-
veloped resources. Florida's sugar
lands are almost as precious as the
the placers of the Klondike, and their
precious syrups and sugars car be moro
easily coined into permanent wealth

Nome. ~Floridians. 1t is your time to

THE COAL STRIKE SITUATION.
Companies Are Pushing the Work of
Building Stockades and Great
Trouble is Feared.

Scranton. Pa, June 1.-THE coal
companies are pushing the work of
building stockades. stringing electric
wires around the colleries, ana in other
ways preparing for a long siege and
possible trouble.
Policemen are making a determined
effort to stop the work of hanging
mine owners in effigy, and today gave
evidence that resulted in two strikers
being fined $50 each.
Feeling on the part of the strikers is
daily growing more bitter. and the au-
thorities fear that conditions are get
ting ripe for serious trouble.
Emphatic denial is made by the oper-
ators' local representative of the story
that companies will this week pool
their available forces and open a col
liery or two.
Vice President Loomis, who is at the
head of the Delaware, Lackawanna G.
Western coal department said today
the companies would not open a col
liery now if they could, because the
time was lot ripe. Others made similar
assertions.
All agree that there is little use in
starting a colliery until there is a sign
of wavering in the ranks of the strik-
ers.
George Lighthall, international pres
ident of the stationary engineers, came
here today to work with the strikers
in trying to call off the engineers still
at work.
He and District President Nichols
addressed a large meeting of engineers,
pump runners and firemen in West
Scranton this afternoon, the purpose of
which was to checkmate the energetic
efforts of the colliery superintendent
to induce these men to go back to work.
Several cases of want among the
families of the striking miners we're re-
ported today.
A meeting of the Forest City local
unions was held tonight, when 1t was
reported that five families were suffer-
ing for bread and clothing. All the
members who could afford it gave 25
cents for those in need.
Several locals in West Scranton have
already been compelled to take the
same action to render assistance.

Down a Lads Throat and
Rife His Pockets.

is dying at his sisters home on Regu-

some distance and as he started through
the gate one of them grabbed him. He
was carried across the road to a vacant
lot, where a bottle was forced between
his teeth. and while one man held his
nose the young man was forced to swal-
low the acid to keep from s%trangling.
Then he lost consciousness. His pockets
had been turned GU and a dollar in
change taken.
