means the tapping of a great region
already well settled with a thrifty
class Of farmers, mostly from Iowa,

eliminated. The country is full Of

Zanditon Supply company. The follow
ing dispatch from Wichita tells Of her
recapture:
Mrs. Maude Shumaker and Sadie
Dornbush, who escaped from the city
Jail here Monday night, and Charles
Evans, said to have assisted in getting
them out, were brought back and lodged
in Jail this evening. Evans was arrest
ed in Clearwater this morning, where he
had just purchased three tickets for
Enid o. T. As soon as he was notified
Chief Burt sent an officer to Clearwater,
who took Evans in charge and found
the women about four and one-half
miles out in the country, where Evans
had left them while he bought the tick
cts, intending to go south tonight. When
arrested Evans had the rig which he
hired in this city on the night of the
escape The Shumaker woman, pre-
sumably in order to shield Evans, says
she cut the wire screen on the jail
window A state warrant will be sworn
out for Evans for assisting a prisoner
charged with a felony to escape. Mrs
Shumaker will be returned to Topeka

ted to the industrial school in Beloit
