time, and in the SAME pocket with
matches 1t was coined in 1897.
Mrs Blair engaged the man in con-
versation for a little while, during
which time her husband appeared
upon the scene. Not in the least dis
concerted, HawoTth talked to him for
awhile and then retraced his steps to
the cabin.
In the meantime MOrtensen had gone
home and to the members Of his fam
lily had recounted his experience with
the man at the cabin, saying to his
wife:
Thought 1t Was HaWorth.
Il believe that fellow is Haworth.
He looks a good deal like the pictures
/ have seen of him"
The remark was overheard by John
Peter MOrtensen, jr., who was then
getting ready TO go to Sunday school
When his class had been assembled he
depressed from Biblical thoughts suf-
ficiently long TO tell his youthful COM
panions Of his fathers experience and
his suspicious. without telling anyone

Nelson, who sat next to MOrtensen
and heard every word he said, excused
himself. and, running up town, told
the news to his uncle.
He followed the three men almost
to the place where they tied their
horse. His father would not let him
go any further for fear he might be
shot. If there was any shooting. He
remained behind, keeping Howard
Kennedy and George Blair company,
When HaWorth was taken into custody
they went I'D to the cabin.
Look for Lynch.
They also accompanied the three
captors and the captive back to the
Nelson store. After Acting Warden
Wright had positively identified Ha-
worth the latter was taken back to
the cabin. James Nelson said he
thought he had seen man run over
the brow of the hill east OF the cabin
when they went up to capture Ha-
worth. He thought it might have been
Lynch. The other two men had not
seen the man in question.
When the party arrived at the cabin
they made a thorough search of the
premises and the immediate surround
ings for traces Of a second man, but
could find none. Later they learned
that the man seen going over the hill
by James Nelson was a hunter.
Again the party returned to the
store and Acting Warden Wright
started for the penitentiary with his
man. Haworth was placed in the front
seat of the wagon, his hands securely
handcuffed, During the ride back at
tempts were made to induce him 10
talk about his experiences after his
escape. but he refused. He denied
point blank that he knew anything as
to the whereabouts of Lynch. When
asked il Lynch had been with him In
the cabin, Haworth replied:

been any of that bread and butter left
If there had been two Of us2"

WHEN SEARCHED, MONEY
WAS FOUND ON C0NR0RS

When Connors was searched Friday
night, after his Intellectual attempt TO
scale the prison walls and get away,
$3.50 was found on him. 1t was sewed
tightly in a little sack which he car
ried suspended around his neck by a
string.
Where he got the money Is not
known Its presence on his person is
conclusive evidence to the prison au-
thorities that ConnOrs had friends on
the outside, and that they were as
sisting him to escape Whether Con-
nors got the money in the same man
ner as Majors got the guns, by being
thrown over the walls, is not known
1t may be brought out in the invesu-
cation which is to follow.
The first incident which occurred az
the prison TO break the monotony OF
a quiet Sunday morning was the dis
coverv Of the letter in Majors clothing.
written by him, directing where his
confederate on the outside should
throw the guns over the stone wall.
1t was found when a careful search o.
his clothing was made.
That was a mere ripple as compared
with the excitement which followed the
news from Holiday just before noon
that it was thought HawOrth had been
captured In a few moments after
team hitched up and went speeding on
to identify the suspect.
Throughout the day hundreds or
people visited the penitentiary in hopes
of making a tour Of inspection, their
sole purpose being to see the cells 1or-
merly occupied by the two escaped
men. and where the thrilling incidents
IN connection with the break occurred
Strict orders had been given not to
permit visitors 20 enter, and the curl
Gus ones were disappointed.
Their curiosity was appeased little
however. by going down to the south
west corner Of the prison walls and
looking at the point on the top Of the
south wall where the men went over,
and where the fight between Guard
Wilcken and Prisoners Majors and
Waddeu took place. Those who were
permitted TO go beyond the corner OF
the wall had the satisfaction of seeing
the faint traces of blood spilled by
Lynch after he had been wounded
after going over the wall.
The news of the capture Of Haworth
attracted a large crowd Of men AMI
women and some children. who gath
cred on the prison lawns to see the
man brought back. They got but
momentary glimpse of him, however,
for no time was lost in taking him
from the wagon into the prison.
Maxwell was little the worse yester-
day for the rough treatment he re-
ceived Friday night at the hands Of
the breakers when they were beating
Guard Jacobs, and he went to his res
cue, only to be felled by a stunning
blow with a slung shot in the hands
of Connors. Alexander A. Robertson
and J. c. Schuckers went about their
duties as though they We're not the
heroes of the hour. The former is IL
brarian of the penitentiary and the
latter is secretary of the State Prison
Christian EndeavOr society. The. vice
president Of the organization is Doug
las, who also played an important part
in attempting TO Illustrate the break.

posse and gave directions as to the
best direction in which to go.
About O'Clock they returned TO the
city, leaving the men on horseback and
afoot still securing the mountain sides
and valley. 1t was 6 o'clock when
Constable Nelson. James Nelson and
Ed Naylor returned. They said they
had not found the first trace OF Lynch.
but had followed the trail Of Haworth
for several miles.
As his tracks were by themselves,
the men were confident that Haworth
told the truth when he said Lynch was
not with him. Just before HaWOrth
turned west and came down the hill
side to the Ashton cabin he entered a
fruit ranch owned by a brother Of
Constable and James Nelson, where
he ate some fresh prunes and some
peaches. At the pen HaWOrth said
that was the first he had ate since he
made his escape.
1t was decided by Constable Nelson
and Ed NaylOr to continue the search
the first thing this morning.

which I went till I struck the cabin.
This was about daylight. / laid down
and went to sleep, but I was awakened
little later by a man out hunting.
We talked a little and he went away.
Pretty soon I went down and bought
some sandwiches and a piece of pie
from a woman at a house. Then 1
went back, and a little later the men
came up and got me-"
Weren't you heading for your broth
er's place down south?" was asked
HaWorth.
Once more he Strengthened up and
looked steadily at his questoner.
Il haven't any brother down that
way that I know Of" said he.
Haven't you a relative Of some kind
down near Union?"
"No, I haven't" he replied with
emphasis; "at least, none that I know
anything about

attorneys viii attend to that"
"Ie you had not left Friday night.
Senator Kearns would have been out
to see you yesterday" he was told
Haworth looked surprised and evil
IDENTIFY did not understand, for he
asked "Why?"
He was coming out to see about get
ting you another trial. 1t was at the
request Of Senators Dolliver and Ali
son Of Iowa"
When HawOrth heard this statement
he made no reply, but shifted his gaze
uneasily about on the floor.
Throughout the entire interview Ha
worth evinced little life and appeared
to be nearly exhausted. He was the
least interested of any as to what went
on about him. His hands lay folded
in his lap, his head was bowed and
his eyes were continually on the floor.
His trousers had been worn ragged at
the bottoms and his shoes showed the
effects of his rough tramp. Haworth
was tired, wearied and disheartened.
His last hope was gone and he did not
try TO conceal his feelings. He looked
the picture of despair.
Returned to His Cell.
= When the Interview was ended Ha-
worth arose at a command from the
guard, and after bidding his visitors
good-by, walked slowly back to his cell.
As he reached the door something on
the outside evidently caught his notice.
for he paused for a moment and looked
out through the grated window.
Then he stepped inside and a second
later the heavy iron door creaked on
its hinges and the bolts dropped into
their sockets. Haworth never turned
around, but threw himself upon his
narrow cot and buried his face in the
bedding

NELSON DREAMED He
CAPTURED The CONVICT

A dream by James Nelson played a
part in the capture Of Nick Haworth.
When Nelson arose yesterday morning
ne said that during the night he had
a dream in which he captured one o.
the two escaped murderers. The dream
was not distinct enough, he said yes
terday morning. for him TO tell which
one Of the two men it was. He was so
impressed with his dream that he said
to his wife:
IT am going to hunt for those men;
I feel certain that 1 win find one Of
them, at least"
His wife persuaded him not to go,
she fearing that he might come to some
harm. SO Mr. Nelson cOntented him
self with going out in front of the store
and looking up and down the deserted
street
A few hours later, however. he did
go in search of one of the men, and
captured him, too. And his dream
came to pass.

People who are using lamps
should know the right way to man
age them A smoky, oily, strong
smelling lamp is a nuisance, while
II well-cared for lamp is a JOY and
n comfort
To begin, with every lamp owner
should know that new wick ought
to he soaked or boiled in vinegar.
This having been done, there will
be neither smoke nor smell, while
a much brighter light will be given.
Wicks are the main thing to be
cOnsideredin connection with lamps.
Unless wick is well cared for a
satisfactory light cannot be had
In the first place, those who have
the care of lamps should never cut
the wick, rub the cbarred portions
off every day with soft rag. If
the wick becomes too short to carry
up the kerosene do not throw it
away, bnt fasten piece of cotton
cloth to the end below aud it will
prove good feeder. Wicks should
not be allowed to grow too short,
however, for then they clog the
burners.
