KIRKW00D MYSTERY DEEPENS.
Crowbar Passed Through Bars 10
Assist Indians in Escape.

The kirkwoOd Indian" mystery is still
far from a solution. Nothing was heard
yesterday Of the seven prisoners who were
arrested Saturday for participation in an
election riot, and who disappeared from the
Jail early Sunday morning. The
men, IL was learned yesterday, also shot
John L Van Size and shot at Rowland
Johnston.
That the prisoners had a confederate on
the outside who aided them to escape is
no longer doubted. Thv man on the outside
broke a window ard passed a crowbar
through the steel caging TO the prisoners
on the inside With the bar the imprisoned
men pFied opel the door OF the building and
got into the outside inclosure. From here
they got into the City Clerks office. From
the latter place they pressed through win
doW onto the roof Of a coal shed and then
jumped to the ground.
When Marshal Secrest went to the fail
sunday morning he found that his birds
had nown; without stopping to investigate
their method Of escape he boarded a Mis-
souri, Pacific train and came to st. Louis.
where he remained the rest OF the day,
searching Cor them.
The Jail has but two cells. -
SAID Secrest to a Republic reporter yester-
1ay, and l let the men into the buliring. as
l had done many times before. 1 had shot
Two or three of them with fine shot and let
them into the bullring, where they could get

ASSEMBLY is ASKED
TO EXTEND SESSION
Sewer Commissioner Hermann De
sires the Tower Grove and Rock
Springs Bills Passed.

Bills providing for the construction of the
Tower Grove and Rock Springs joint-dis-
trict sewers will be introduced in the Mu-
nicipal Assembly at once II both houses
will agree 10 prolong the present session
until July S.
Sewer Commissioner Hermann will ask
Vice President Boyce and Speaker Fonta-
ma to have adjournment deferred long
enough for passage of the bills Acting
Mayor HorEsby favors the idea. and it IS
thought the Councilmer and Delegates viii
be willing to grant the Commissioners re-
quest
The BUILDING OF these sewer is and has
been deemed a public project OF particular
Importance. The joint Ways and Means
Committee included in the general appro-
p~riation bill an allotment sufficient TO COM
plete the work. and even took money from
other appropriations in order TO do this.
Councilman Newell showed especial inter-
est in the Improvement and lost no oppor-
tunity to urge a beginning.
IF the bills are passed now" says Mr..
Hermann. 1.-The sewers can be built this
year, whereas the work viii BE delayed
until next March, or later. II an early start
cannot be made" He has bills for cor
struction OF four district sewers but he
does not consider this work urgent. He
will be more than satisfied IL the jOint-dis-
trict sewer bills are passed.
Saturdays storm was more beneficial TO
sewers than harmful, the Commissioned
says. No damage was done anywhere ex-
cept at Twenty-second and Mullanphy
streets. The water washed out the sew
ers. Contractors suffered some loss by the
flowing Of mud into open bitches. and the
displacement of machinery, but even this
loss he does not consider great.
The reason the storm was beneficial, Mt.
Hermann states. was because the rainfall
was distributed throughout sixteen hours
Saturday. On at least three occasions in
the past. he says as much water fell IN
one hour as fell Saturday in sixteen hours.
