Convict Makes Dire Threat.

Butte, Mont, Aug. 29.-With Off
GERS OF the State Penitentiary upon
his trail, assisted by bloodhounds
Convict Tom O'Brien, who last Fri
day madea daring escape from the
State prison, has sent a communica
ton to the Miner pleading for pub
lie statement OF his alleged crime and
vowing the death OF Undersherif
David Morgan, whose alleged perjur
ed testimony the convict declares
sent him to prison and wrecked his
home.
The document received by the Min
er bears the postmark OF Anaconda.
The writer dates his communica
ton from a mountain In the sur
rounding hills of Anaconda and says
that he wrote his story behind a
rock, dividing his time between his
Winchester and his pen.
The communication is literary
freak and there is no question as to
its authenticity, as the handwriting
has been fully identified by the Ward
en- of the Penitentiary and others ac-
quainted with the criminal.
O'Brien declares his sole object in
escaping from the prison is to kill
Deputy Sheriff Morgan. O'Brien was
sent up for robbery in 1901.

SPAIN OPENING Up.
Believes Hope Lies in Closer AssO-
Citations with United States.
New Minister To This Country says In
tcrrSts in His Country Are Com
binInR to Encourage Visit
of American Tourists.

Emilio de Ojcda, the new Spanish
minister to this country, has gone to
Newport Tor the remainder of the
summer. Discussing the conditions
OF trade in Spain and the proposed
reciprocity treaty with the United
States, the minister is quoted lay the
New York journal If Commerce as
saying:
spain having lost her colonies
fully recognizes the importance of
Increasing her commercial relations
in order tu adjust her affairs To the
new conditions. l'ut what is needed
as preparation for increased conn
mcrciul Intercourse is a better un-
Outstanding and more general inter-
course between the two peoples.
find there is almus, total ignorance,
in Il popular sense, in the United
States as tn what spain is, and there
is 'cNcn greater ignorance, if posSi-
blc, in Spain in regard To the United
States. rs a beginning therefore
favor increased Intercourse between
the two nations. When the people
of Spain and the United States get
~ understand each other better the
commercial opportunities will follow.
and thiHk that a happy and
practical way of creating this better
understanding has been hit upon.
The idea is To establish a kind Of
syndicate to comprise the rich bank
crS in Spain, the railroad companies,
the hotels, etc, for the purpose Of
encouraging American tourists TO
visit our country. The plan is to
make The trip as cheap and in every
way as pleasant as possible, and have
all runyenicnceS.
And in this connection, ] may say
that the spirit of consolidation of in
tercStS is already developing in
Spain 90 very broad lines, There has
been wonderful progress in the Span
ish shipyards, and in sugar growing
and planting, The foreign office has al
ready given this matter great study,
and as n first step has started a sam
pie office for the purpose Of giving
our own people an idea of foreign re-
quirements. Samples of all articles
that Spain can produce and that have
a foreign market are on exhibition
with their ruling prices attached, and
the new department is one that will
undoubtedly prove of great value"

Probably the most unique protest
submitted to the officials of the post

is otherwise mutilated, but the pack

Fire at South McAlester.

South McAlester, l. T., Aug. 90
Yesterday evening, shortly before 6,
a gasoline explosion in the large
Katy dining station here totally de-
stroyed the building, together with
the Union Passenger Station, used
jointly by the Katy and Choctaw
railways.
The building was a mass of flames
before the occupants were aware OF
the fire. Many had narrow escapes.
Several ladies jumped from the Sec
ond floor OF the dining station, and
one, Miss Emma Donovan, was burn
ed about the neck and head. In
jumping she sustained Internal in
juries.
The records and tickets in the de-
pots were saved, but the cash receipts
for the day were lost. Traffic on
both roads has been delayed and
communication with the outside
world was shut of until to-day.

MYSTERIOUS DEATHS
DISTURB BEAUMONT
Murders Of Several Months Ago Recall.
ed by Finding Of Two More
naI;..

Beaumont, Tex, Aug 20.-lt seems
that Beaumont is to pass through
another series of murder mysteries
similar to that which originated so
much excitement several months ago
when five or six bodies were taken
from the river in short space of
time.
Sunday the body of a white MN
was found floating in the Neches liiv-
er about half n mile below the draw
bridge of the Kansas City, Southern
Railroad, and about noon yesterday
the second body was found in the
same vicinity.
The foater found yesterday was
buried without Identification but
from appearances it was the body OF
a Mexican laborer between 30 and 10
years of age.
| The BODY had evidently been IN the
water about two days, and when
found was among some bushes and
logs in such a way as to make it
necessary to tow it up the river "a
short distance before it was removed.
There was slight wound over the
left eye. This wound might have
been caused by small caliber bullet.
The body of the man found Sunday
was eXhumed this morning and ex-
amined by two men, who identified it
as that of Jim Broderick, an English
bricklayer. 1t is presumed Broderick
attempted to walk across and fell
from the bridge while intoxicated.
Absolute mystery surrounds the
death OF the Mexican, whose body
was found yesterday.

Warning by Ruessell Sage.

New York, August 2..-"Stocks

are not careful they will fall over u

These word OF warning were issued
this afternoon by Mr.. Russell Sage,
the aged financier. Mr.. Sage is 50
thoroughly convinced that the great.
est possible prosperity has been dis
counted in prices that he is selling
"calls" on the leading stocks, good
for six months, within few points
OF the market. Others say he is try
ing to encourage large short inter

Stocks are selling irrespective of
their dividend merits. said Mr.. Sage.
There are millions upon mil

loaded Oh the public. The big fel-
lows are getting out as fast as they
can. Pretty soon they will find that
they can't sell their stocks at present
prices and then there is going to be a
crash. People are too reckless in
buying stocks at these prices.

The Judges Still in Prison.

st. Paul, Aug. 29.-The United

ion by Judge Sanborn, denied the
application for writs of heabeas cor

cases of Thomas ID. hewitt and Sam.

In denying their application Judge
Sanborn declines to enter into the

holds that writ OF heabeas corpus
cannot be made to perform the office
of a writ of error.
Judge Peden and Judge hewitt are
now in jail at Maryville, Mo-, where
they were removed last winter from
the Jackson county jail. Under the
decision OF the United States court
