JAIL
BREAK
Attempt Frustrated
BY Jailer Stenseth.
Bold and Cunning
Plan of Escape.

The vigilance of Jailer Stenseth
frustrated one of the most novel and
skillful attempts Of Jail breaking ev-
er tried in this section. Andrew
Handle with several aliases, who is
being held for trail on charge Of
mail robbing, is thought to be at the
head of the attempt, and possibly was
alone. Sometime since the floor Of
the Jail was dug up for the purpose of
putting in a new cement floor. In the
dirt the jailel found several pieces
of tools, saws, and files, relics of for
mer attempts to break Jail. and it is
supposed Others were found by the
prisoners Ont of a piece of board a
brace was constructed to which was
wired file which served as bit and
with this large block was partially
bored out of the partition between
the cell occupied and an empty one
which was unlocked. A piece of
lead pipe in which saw was insert
ed told the rest. The jailer oiscov.
cred piece Of board used against
the breast in boring in the conlpart-
ment used sN the slop bucket. On
the inside Of this receptacle which
can not be seen from the cell the
other tools We're hung on wire.
The file was found near the bath
tub in an ont. the way place and
covered with dirt The borings in
the cell We're filled with soap and
covered with pictures. A box Of
salve served as sound destroyer.
Had the section been cut out, the
prisoners would have been able to get
out into hall and escape from there
either by unlocking the door or as
saulting the officers when they enter
ed the next morning, most probably
the latter, as wooden key was parti-
ally constructed in the cell. The plan
was the best and H. ost original one
the Inter Ocean man has ever seen
and the discovery of the thing before
there was wholesale delivery is a
decided credit to the jailer.

remembered that the company is a
volunteer one, and that the members
are compelled to dress. go to the city
hall and from there to the fire, that is
hust]ing. The work on the ground
was equal to that Of regular COM
panies. The Nimmo building, the
livery building, Prosser & Serum
CARDS block, and Connolly shop were
all in danger and all were saved.
The fire laddies are all right,

SHE BOUGHT THE SPROUTS.

"D'you call these Brussels sprouts
young man--in the basket, mean?''
"That's the name they go BY
mother"
Thought p'r'aps they we're wal
nuts from their color" remarks the
thin armed lady, casually, according to
London Tit Bits
"Your 'andling EN- don't improve

keeper Leave 'em II you don't want

"And what might you ave the inn
pidence to ask a pound for 'em, l

Price IS mentioned with the definite
manner of one who is prepared to give
up life and honor and everything rath-
er than bulge halfpenny.
docs the sum include the barrow?8
Answer given gloomily that the sum
does not include he barrow; and the
question added, What is the thin
armed lady getting at?"
"You keep EN-, young man, says
the thin armed woman, with some
ferceness. "You take 'em 'ome and
light the fire with 'em. wonder you
can look me in the face and ask such a
price"
1T wants some kerridge. admits the
proprietor. "to look you in the face.
Takes years of a mans life to do it"
"Good morning" says the woman,
shiyering with politeness; "and wish
better manners.
"Good morning" says the proprie-
tor. not to be outdone in courtesy;
"and ! wish you new set Of fea-

What is gratifying to note is that,
after this active passage Of arms. and
when the thin armed woman is almost
lost IN the slowly moving crowd the
proprietor relents and shouts:
Ere y'are. You gels always gets
your own way"
And the thin armed woman comes
back through the crowd and buys a
pound and a half of Brussels sprouts,
and buyer and seller part on the
terms.

CHANGING UNDERWEAR.
winter Garments should Not he Pat
on for Those Of summer
All nt Once.

Al woman should not change direct
from the snug-ftting, long-sleeved
underwear OF winter to the loose
sleeveless, gauzy attire Of summer
1t is too great a shock to the system
and may result ia serious illness. II
ofttimes lays the foundation Of q
! lifetime Of Ml-health, says Medical
Talk for the Home.
The best way Is to change from the
winter weight. whether it be woolen,
silk or cotton. to suit OF lighter
weight Of the same material, presery-
ing the long sleeves and ankle length,
The next change can ther be made
to the usual gauze underwear. In
this way the body, by degrees, be-
comes accustomed to the lighter
weight clothing and no shock is ex-
perienced. The change should be
made not in the heat Of the day, but
in the morning, after cold bath and
vigorous rub.
For those who cannot afford or do
not care to provide themselves with
the intermediate suit, the best sug-
gestion would be to tighten the
weight Of the clothing from the out
side. Wear d lighter wrap, thinner
waist, fewer skirts or leave off some
other a.iicle of dress. But do not be
in hurry to take off the winter un-
derwear, that worn next to the skin,
especially if it be wooden.
After the change has been made
great caution is necessary for awhile.
Avoid sitting near open windows. il
You 20 out jim the early morning or
the evening provide yourself wiei1
light wrap. Stay in the sunshine all
you can; it will do you good. Do not
sit on the ground in May; it may
seem warm, but the chill is still
there. Give the sun another month
in which to renovate old Mother
Earth and make her d fit lounging
place for her children.
The tempting days Of spring, with
their charm Of blue sky, mellow sun
shine, leafing trees and yerdant fields,
lure US to forgetfulness Of health,
while the seductive operas Of the
merry brooks and the blithesome
birds entice us to follow our inclina-
tions with utter disregard Of Ma
ture's laws.
/. Enjoy the spring days to the fullest
extent. but exercise little common
sense. Don't rush from winter wool
ems to summer gauzes at the first
chirp Of robin or the first sight Of
spring violet, 1t is better to suffer
a little discomfort from the heat
than to run the risk of colds, sore
throat. grip and pneumonia. Don't
be in too big hurry Go slow. Ac-
custom the body to the change grad
ually and you will be in better condi-
tion to withstand the sweltering
heat of summer.

INDIAN LAND LEASES.

N When Secretary Ethan Allen
Hitchcock was touring the Indian
territory a few weeks ago, he no.
ticed, along the road west Of Mus
kogee towards Okmulgee, the
tumble.down shacks and the dilap
idated and worthless improve
ments on those fine stretches Of
Creek lands where vast fields Of
waving grain and where cattle on
d thou sand hills grazed lazily 10
the warm May sun. and where the
rich oott on lands lay 10 the glory
of newly turned glebe. Turning
to Col. Frank G. Churchill the
Secretary asked-how is it that
such miserable improvements are
built on these fine lands ? They
are leased, was the laconic reply
of Churchill. Then the mind of
the old man began to work. His
eagle eye scanned the prospect,
and be continued to ask'questions
and to get information. The lease
system in the Creek Nation was a
revelation to the man who rules
eighty thousand wards in the rich
Indian Country. After bis return
to Washington be made special
study Of the agricultural and min
eral lease question and various
changes in blank forms have been
made. He opened correspondence
with his trusted lieutenants here.
The ball began to unrayel Like
huge puzzle picture the outlines
began to develop and the vision
Of a great wrong began to slowly
dawn upon the Secretary. The
agent and his assistants must an
swer for certain conditions. The
law, in spirit and in letter has
been violated and the lands filcbed
from the Indians. The line If
shacks and rusty wire fences
along the railroads were the OBJ
jects that i9spired and set in mo-
tion a series Of Investigations that
will shake the Indian service from

believed bring about needed re-
form 10 an outragously neglected

cent with a nine-hour day. They were
receiving from 16 to 30 cents an hour ac-
cording to the class of work.

PENNELL CHANGED.


BUFFALO, n. Y, April 9.-Since the

appeared there has been much talk about
il. President Arthur T. Hadley. of Yale
who was in Buffalo to-day, was quoted
by an afternoon paper as follows:
Arthur r. Pennell in connection with
the Burdick murder case did not act like
a typical Yale man. So far as I can learn
at college Pennell was always a modest,
honorable and, as has been said, in gem
eral a typical Yale man. 1t is not well to
Judge a case or a man until the legal in
vestigation has been finished. 1 have no
opinion to offer on the matter of the re-
ported defalcations by Pennell."

Terrific Current Is Sweeping Through

abandoned to-day by Senator Brady and
those who have been associated with him
All day a terrific current swept around
the broken ends OF the cribbing and

undermining the light piling which it had
taken thirteen days and nights TO build
A delegation from the crevasse came TO
the city early to-day and made purchases
of piling which will be sent forward to-
morrow. IL Is considered, however that
not chance in a thousand to close the
crevasse remains The levee board has
practically reached the end of its re-

levees about their places
The weather bureau expresses the belief
that nigh water will continue in the lower

President Roosevelt to he Given .
Shot at Outlawed Beasts.

CINNABAR. Mont, April 9.-President
Roosevelt made an early start this morning
from his headquarters in the park for an
extended trip through certain portions OF
the reserve. There are a large number OF
mountain lions in the park. and. as the au-
thorties are making a determined effort TO
exterminate them. IL is possible the Pres
ident may get few shots during his stay.
Notwithstanding that numerous notices
had been given TO the outside world that
no newspaper men would be allowed in the
park while the President was there. one en-
terprising reporter tried TO force his way In
yesterday. He rode horse and had dog
with him. The man was arrested before he
had proceeded far and the dog shot. Later
the correspondent was released.
Secretary Loeb received no word from the
President to-day beyond the announcement
this morning that he had left his headquar-
ters for a trip into the park
