CAMP SANGER TROOPS
HAVE HARD WORK
Regular Infantry and Cavalry Engage
in Long Tramps Over Country.

FORT RILEY. Kan, Oct 19.-To-
days work in the maneuver camp
might with moderation be termed high
ly strenuous. None but regular troops
We're out and even for seasoned men
they went through an ordeal calcu-
lated to test the enduring qualities In
everyone.
There were two exercises similar in
character and in one of these, where
Lieut.. Col. Kingsbury commanded the
Brown cavalry, it is conservative to
say that from the time of leaving
camp until the return his troopers rode
thirty to thirty-five miles. Much OF
this march was over broken ground
and up and down hillsides where the
men at times had much difficulty in re-
tanning their saddles.
The majority of the infantry engaged
tramped fifteen to eighteen miles in
heavy marching order. None of the
national guard regiments were in the
days maneuvers, and it is not likely
that the majority of their men would
have been able to endure what the reg
ulars went through today. The ma
tional guardsmen will not be taken
into the actual work of the maneuvers
for two or three days.
Tomorrow they will be drilled along
the Pawnee flats and marched up and
down the steep hills a few times just
to get them into good form. After this
preliminary course they will go forth
to war in the manner of the regular
troops.

posed Of the terrible EckersaH and all,
at Madison two weeks hence.
The significant fact that appears to
have been overlooked here is that compar-
alive scores are mighty Indispensable.
And it is also seemingly forgotten that it
was hardly the the, same same Beloit that lined
Badgers. Coach Jack HOLSTER. of Be
lott, said between the halves of the game
Saturday:
MY team is made of cripples Our
boys have no snap left. Michigan a week
ago ruined Beloit with their terrible
smashes and rushes. What can you ex
milling. Beloit got at Ann Arbor last
week.? But happiness prevails in the
Badger haunts.
Now for Chicago" is the watehword Of
Madison. Coach Curtis will increase the
work Of the football candidates and
adopt an extra session at night for signal
practice and ultra secret instruction The
bad playing. in the extremely good for
tune, shown by Stages team in the con-
test against Northwestern inspires the
Wisconsin student body with a deal of
enthusiasm and hope for Wisconsin vic
tory over the maroonS a week from next
Saturday in Madison, but the coaches are
not over-confident.
Assistant Coach Mccarthy was present
at the Chicago-N Northwestern game and
carefully noted the play of the midway
aggregation. He is depended upon to give
valuable information regarding the Chi
cago style and team composition. @The
fact that Chicago was driven to her best
efforts to keep from defeat by the puIE1>
leads some here to declare that McCaI IiIy
saw the Chicago eleven work under cir
cumstances most favorable to his mission
at Marshall field. Chicago was fighting
hard, Chicago was off her guard and had
to play the best game possible. None, of
Stages secrets were kept covered.
These are the pleasant things that are
said as to show that Coach Mccarthy
should know much of value. Mr.. Mccarthy
however, thinks not so. He says the Chi
cago play was simple. crude, imperfect
and plain 1t was nothing like the best
that Stagg can teach and nothing like
what will be dished up to the Badgers.
Chicago went at Northwestern in the be-
lief that it was an early season practice
contest, and Chicago knew at that time
nothing more than early season practice
football. Now Chicago will take a pull
and put on the kind of game to be play
ed against the cardinal. This is the opin-
ion of Coach Mccarthy, explaining that
his visit to Chicago was helpful only to
enable him to size up the men in a gen
eral way and not to learn anything of
much value about the team and play
that Coach Curtis must meet the last
day of this month

MAIL THIEF ESCAPES
Deputy MarshaIs Allow Pris-
oner to Walk Away.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Oct 19-Al-
bert E. Bell, the mail pouch thief and
1orger, Who was brought to this city
from Denver by Deputy United States
Marshais G. H. Baker and Alvah Da-
Wis, today eluded his guards and is now
at liberty. When the train reached the
Pennsylvania railroad station Davis
and Bell went to the toilet apartment
OF the Pullman car, and while the dep
uty marshal was performing his ablu-
tons the prisoner calmly walked to
the platform of the car, mingled with
the crowd of passengers and disap-
peared
For nearly three hours after the
swindler had made his escape Davis
and Baker wandered about in search Of
MIN, and finally notified the local po-
hce authorities. Government and city
detectives are now endeavoring to To-
cate Bell, but he has the advantage
of a long start and the officers are
without a clue
Bell was arrested while he was ill
in hospital at Denver. He confessed
to having stolen a mail pouch con-
tanning about 1900 checks from an ex-
press train on the Pennsylvania rail-
road at Germantown Junction, this
city, on the night of Sept. s. He was
held in $4,000 bail for his appearance
in the United States district court
here.
In custody of Deputies Davis and
Baker, the prisoner left Denver for this
city Friday afternoon. AS he was still
suffering from the effects of the illness
which took him to the Denver hos
pital, the officers did not deem it nee
eSsary to shackle him. He was ac-
companfed as far as Pacific Junction
by Mrs. Sharp, who was arrested with
him, but later discharged. The trip to
Philadelphia was uneventful until this
city was reached. Deluded by the
tractability of the prisoner, the depu-
ties failed to guard him carefully and
his escape was rendered easy.
Shortly after the disappearance OF
the mail pouch, Bell, passing himself
as f. H. Crosby, and Mrs. Sharp,
known as Mrs. Crosby, were located at
Asbury Park. He deposited number
Of checks with a bank there payable
to his order and drawn by several Phil
adelphia firms.
1t was discovered that the amounts
of the checks had been raised, but
when the postal inspectors depart
ment took up the matter Bell had left
ASbury Park. He was later located in
Denver. Bell is also known as Ham
mond and Crawford. He is suspected
of having stolen a mail pouch at
Springfield, Ill. He secured $4,000 from
the Lincoln Trust company in st. Louis
by means of alleged checks. He is
also suspected of numerous postoffice
robberies in New York, Buffalo and
other cities. He is supposed to have
realized $500,0000 from the robbery
committed here.

pulled loose from it's fastening.
Men Jump for Their Lives.
There were thirty four men at work
on. the superstructure of the bridge
and in the barge below, from which the
beams were being hoisted by the crane,
ITS feet above the river level, when the
booms collapsed. OF the men who were
in the barge, some escaped with their
lives by jumping into the river the mo-
ment they heard the crash above. Some
of the men on the superstructure who
were engaged in riveting and handling
the bars that were lifted from the
barge also got off uninjured.
1t was rumored that the accident
was due to an experiment in the con-
struction of the bridge in order to save
time. The rumor had it that this was
the first bridge ever built without I'M
derpinning, and that the company did
not use any underpinning because it
was thought that much time might be
saved.
j. A. Huston, general superintendent
of the Pittsburg district of the Amer
lean Bridge company, said:
Such a rumor is absurd and with
out any foundation in fact
The work on the bridge will be de-
layed about three months.
Several marvellous escapes from
death were reported. One of the work.
ers on the traveller, as soon as the guy
wires snapped, attempted to jump back
to the part remaining on the bridge.
He missed his footing and was falling
to the river. Part of a rope attached
to the bridge struck him in the face.
He instinctively caught hold of it and
was saved from being carried down
into the barge. He continued to hold to
the rope until one of the skiffs came
to his rescue, when he slid down and
took his place in the boat as one of the
reScuers.

Score Against BeIoit.

The University team is getting in it's

great Michigan game.
The Beloit game next Saturday is con-
coded by everybody to Minnesota by al
most any score she chooses to make.
It's chief interest lies in the fact that it
Is the first team to meet Minnesota which
has played Michigan and Wisconsin.
Many of the wise ones think that Dr.
Williams will try to keep the score
down to about 40 or so by the use of
substitutes during part of the game.
Still 1T Is all conjecture, and Minnesota
may try to beat the records of her rivals
Practice is. as usual, secret. All the
players in Saturdays game were out
little the worse for their experience. and
went through some light practice.

ter on Fred Metz, mead of the Metz Brew

native that in the event of noncompliance
the brewery would, be destroyed tonight

Office of the chief of police and laid the
advice, the terms were complied with, and
arrangements made to capture the con-
spirators when they showed up to get the
money. The demand of the letter writer
was complied with and the money depos-

was made before o'clock as specified in
the letter. A line of detectives was thrown
about the place, but no one appeared to
get the money.
