Attempted Escape.

An attempt at q wholesale jail dc.
livery was made at Bismarck, led by
Smith, who escaped from the Wash
burn Jail short time ago. and was
srecaptured at Fort Yates. The plan
was for Smith to strike the jailor
with an iron bar, and then release
Uric Chilkoff and the negro Griffin,
both of whom await trial for murder.
The TAILOR was felled, but here Smith
seems to have forgotten the rest of
the program and rushed out alone,
being caught in an alley within a few
minutes.
News Notes.
C. w. Hill of Leonard has been re-
leased from Jail after serving long
term. He was landlord of the hotel
and was arrested on the charge of
selling liquor. He was convicted and
sentenced to six months in Jail and to
pay fine of $500. He did not pay the
fine, and has served seven months al
together. He broke all records for
serving the longest term in the local
Jail for violation of the prohibitory
law.
George G. Fox, of Grand Forks, was
arrested on north-bound train with
a ticket in his possession for Win
nipeg and $138 of the Ingalls, hotel
funds in his pocket. He pleaded
guilty to grand larceny. The offense
is punishable by a penitentiary term.
j. C. Whitlock, who was shot near
Hancock, Mclean county, Friday,
died Monday. Coburn, neighbor,
is in Jail and is thought to know
more about the crime than he will
divulge. Other persons are suspected
of having committed the crime and
Coburn will be held until an investi-
cation is made.
The commissioners of insanity of
Pembina county had two insane pa
tients before them and both were adj
judged insane and transferred to the
sheriff to be taken to the hospital at

name of one of tie patients and he
believed he was Christ crucifed, while
the other was Oliver II. Sando, who
said he was the devil.

summoned for the November term Of
court in Burleigh county for the trial

THE EUcHRE CLUB.
Enjoys Another Most Successful
Evening Meeting.

The meeting of the Ladies' Euchre
club at the residerce of Captain
and Mrs. Kelly last evening was a
great success aud very much enjoy
ed by all the participants. The
game began at $3.50 and continued
TIL after eleven, thirteen games
being played. At The end of the
thirteenth, it was found that Mrs.
Trawis and Mrs. Cain had tied for
the royay prize, each winning
eleven games. On cutting, Mrs.
Cain proved the more fortunate
one aud received the prize, a very
pretty water color picture. For
the gentlemen's royal prize, Mr.
D%orman and Mr.. Ashheim eon-
tested. Luck favored Mr.. Dwor-
man and he carried off a very at
tractive engraving. Mrs; ,Imboden
was awarded the ladies' consolation
trophy, pretty bell. The eonsoIa-
ton prize for the gentlemen was
dainty cameo ash tray, which was
apparently much wanted, as there
were four contestants for it, pane
ly; Messrs. Kelly, Radcliffe, San-
der and. Daily. The cutting for
it, caused much amusement, as MIR.
Kelly and Mr.. Radcliffe tied three
times. At last, on the fourth
trial, Mr.. Radcliffe came off victor.
Refreshments were served on the
card tables in the parlor aud
library, consisting of chicken
salad, waters aud coffee. During
the evening band stationed on
the back porch played very sweet
Mexican airs. The tally cards
provided for the players were a
noteworthy feature, being very
pretty hOrseshoeS, for good luck
for the New Year.
Mrs. Kelly was assisted iii re-

A man whose business brings to him

Stylish Organ Grinders.

Much amusement was afforded the
residents of logan square the other
evening by the actions of couple of
gentlemen who were evidently exhil-
arated from taking too much liquid
refreshment The men were enacting
the parts of italian street musicians.
Both men, who were attired in Prince
Albert coats and wore shining silk
hats, made a laughable sight as they
pushed a large hurdygurdy clear
around the square, stopping in front
of dozen houses en- route
While one man ground out music
the other passed his silk hat for a
collection. The donations were
liberal, too; even the poorest-clothed
workingman, seated on a bench in
the square. tossed in a copper for
the two swells what got broke and
had to take to the streets for liv-
ing"

two men, finally persuaded them to 20
home, and the instrument WIS return

the had hired it.
Just as the two men had turned to
go away they met IL poor, lame old
woman. whom they stopped and made
wait while ore Of the men emptied his
collection of nickels and pennies from
his hat into the surprised, woman's
apron. Both men politely bowed to
the woman as she stood pouring out
thanks ard blessings, and then they
went their way arm in arm.-Phila-
