"Well, isn't there anyone about the
shop can lick Travers?" asked Mr.. Pull
liam, lowering his voice to whisper.
Listen here, Tom, I'll give 500 to any
man or boy in the shop that will lick
young Travers out of his boots just
once. l want to teach the cub a les
son, and make business man out of
him if it can be done"
But they can't lick him, I tell you,
Mr.. Pulliam. He's offul good with TIL
mitts. Look at tn cashiers lamps.
Look at Crosby's nose. Travers put
'em all to the bad in less'n three
rounds. He'd rather lick one o your
front office men than all the transfers
on tn block. He hates 'em; jealous,
maybe, but he certainly does handle
'em rougher than anybody else" Tom
was evidently overawed and dazzled
by his subordinate's feats in the ring.
Pulliam dismissed him with a caution
to say nothing of their conference.

Clarence Morgan, stenographer, be-
gan work in the Pulliam office a week
after that conversation between the
head of the house and the chief ship
ping clerk. He had the manners of
girl and the wags about the place called
him Clara. He hadn't anything par
ticular to do at first, and, like all the
others, he began to drift toward the
cellar, where Dexter Travers' school
for physical culture was usually in
full blast. Clarence, being very mod
est as well as very new employee,
seemed to be fascinated with the box
ing game, but he never said word to
anybody till one day, soon after noon,
when Dexter was beating six different
kinds of tattoos out of the punching
bag, he sided up to the champion and
touched his arm.
would you mind boxing round or
two with me?" coyly suggested the
stranger.
''Can you box at alp" asked Dexter,
surveying Clarence, while the dozen
onlookers nudged one another and

men made their escape between 3 and
$50 O'Clock this afternoon.
While the prisoners were being
served with their dinner one of the
TRUSTEES noticed that some of the men
were missing, and he at once gave the
alarm. An Investigation showed that
the five prisoners had sawed off the
paddock which held down trap door
leading to the sewer. This door is To-
Gated outside the Jail cage and in the
corridor. After letting themselves into

started in every direction, but the men
hada good start. and at late hour to-
night none of them had been cap
tured. The escape of Pug Ryan is con-
sidered n most serious occurrence, for
he is a dangerous and desperate char
acter and had succeeded in eluding
capture for four years.
Ryan was at the head of gang of
robbers who held up the Denver saloon
at Breckenridge four years ago. and in
the battle with deputies next day two
of the gang were killed and two officers
received fatal wounds. Ryan escaped
TO the Pacific coast, aud was captured
there last April. He was brought back
to Breckenridge, but the sheriff of
Summit county gave him in charge OF
Sheriff Long of Lake county for safe
keeping.

a Lack Of Evidence showing Crim-

Troubled Aboat Expense Of
Keeping Witnesses.

HAVANA, Jan. 17.--At the trial Si
the charges growing out Of the Cuban
postottice frauds yesterday the exami'
nation OF EsteR G. Rathbone, ex-di-
rector general Of posts Of Cuba, WAS
concluded. Counsel for w. H. Reeves,
ex-deputy auditor for Cuba, requested
the privilege of cross examining Rath.
bone, which was accorded.
During the days hearing Rathbone
was questioned further relative to the
furnishing Of his residence In El Cerr0,
Havana, from the postal funds. Rath.
bone said he could not have been ex.
pected to furnish his Official residence
from private funds, that he had not
known how long he was going to re-
main In Cuba and that General John Il.
Brooke, former military governor Of
Cuba, and General William Ludlow,
former military governor of the city
Of Havana, had furnished their official
residences from government funds.
Rathbone said his superiors knew of
his expenditures in this respect and
had not made objection thereto and
that these bills were only for moneys
spent for house furnishing and not on
his private account.
The examination Of bill from
New York department store showed
that fifty pairs of hose which, 1t was
alleged, Rathbone had bought for his
private use read fifty feet Of hose. The
examination Of kathbone did not bring
out any strong points for the govern.
ment. the matters touched upon in.
volvng only small amounts compared
to the large amount Of embezxlement
charged and beloved to be out Of pro.
portion to the sentence asked for by
the fiscal.
In most of the incidents taken up
during Rathhone's examination it was
only question Of whether he had been
authorized to make the expenditures
IN question, and there was a lack Of
evidence showing criminal intent.
The matter Of the expenses of the
witnesses who have been brought here
from the United States to testify in
these cases is now worrying the post
Office officials. The clerk of New
York hotel, one of the witnesses, who
was brought here to show that Rath.
bone had lived extravagantly while at
this hotel. has put in bill to the gov.
ernnent of $40 a day for expenses,
while the extras charged bring the
total for two weeks to about $4,000.
