located at Vancouver for the past

u TO FREEDOM.
Walter Cox, Forser, Escapes from
County Jail. p

FDU Wednesdays Daily Gazette.
NWhen brought back from Butte to
stand trial on the charge of forgery.
Walter Cox told Sheriff Hubbard that
he did not expect to remain here long,
and he didn't. Today he made his es-
cape from the county Jail and this
afternoon was making tracks in some
unknown direction, with several men
trying to obtain a clue to his where
abouts. The n Of his escape was
simple and attended by sensational
features.
With some of the other prisoners
he was given the liberty of the COR
ridor and took advantage of the op-
p%ortunity to dig out, using a poker
and probably a case knife for tools.
He selected the east wall as the place
for his operations and made an aper-
ture a little over a foot square,
through which he crowded and once
outside nothing stood between him
and liberty. His absence was not
discovered until about 1870, at which
time he had had a start of an hour
or more, as it is known that he es-
capped somewhere between 1890 and
1870 o'clock.
The other prisoners refused to avail
themselves of the opportunity to get
away and remained behind to inform
Jailer Harding of Cox's levanting.

ing across the line, and l have no
doubt that hundreds of Chinese who
have no legal right here find their
way into the states through these
fisheries in the course of a year. We
arrest many, but the testimony of
their countrymen and of white men
as well defeats our efforts to convict
them most of the time.
There are white men engaged in
the business of smuggling Cinnamon,
who, if their energies were diverted
into some honorable channel, would
soon become we'll off, but they seem
to prefer eking out an existence in
this way. Chinese are said to pay
these men from $50 to 500 a head
for being Struggled safely acorss the
line, which at that point is a country
covered with forest and heavy under

WHERE JACKS ARE PLENTY.
Slaughter Of Coyotes Has Resulted
in Multiplication Of Rabbits.

Slaughter Of Coyotes Has Resulted
in Multiplication Of Rabbits.
Vat the meeting of the Smith River
Bounty association several local stock
men reported that the killing off of
the wolves and coyotes was result
ing in a tremendous increase in jack
rabbits. So numerous are rabbits be-
coming that the amount of hay they
eat, especially alfalfa, is becoming
quite an item. To most people this
seem incredulous, but in a few miles
drive in any direction one may see
from fifty to 100 jack rabbits grazing
along like a band of shep. On the
west side of the valley they are be-
coming more numerous, perhaps, than
in most other sections. D. Jackson,
a rancher @living near the summit,
reported having counted over 200 rab-
bits playing about a hay stack near
the house. But the report of Charles
B. Sayre, who is at present stopping
at Honorable D. E. Folsom's Woods
sulch ranch, is the most startling.
He told the correspondent of the Butte
Miner that rabbits had actually eaten
so much alfalfa around the bottom
of a stack of alfalfa that the remain
der of the stack was topping. Mr..
Sayre thought he could scare them
away, so he took some alfalfa, scat
tered it in a straight line and with
his shotgun secreted himself behind
a fence to await the rabbits coming.
He was lot disappointed, for in a very
short time they came in droves. In
seventeen shots he killed exactly
fifty-seven jack rabbits; in one shot
he killed seven and in three shots the
aggregate killed was seventeen. Mr.
Sayre says the shooting did not affect
those who escaped, as they kept on
coming. This to some may seem
impossible, but it is a fact that rab-
bits are becoming so numerous in
Smith river valley that it is proposed
by some to organize a California "rab-
bit drive" in order to wipe them Out.
The small boys of the Springs do
not approve of the drive as during
the holidays they enjoyed themselves
rabbit hunting, the game secured be-
ing sold to chicken raisers at from
10 to 20 cents apiece.

TRYING ONCE MORE.
Business Men Act on Pending Grow
Treaty.


From Wednesdays Daily Gazette.
= Secretary White OF the Billings
Commercial club the mem
bers of that organization to a meet
ing last night to discuss a matter
often discussed leiore in that body.
The subject was that Of urging the
passage of the measure pending il
congress providing for the cessicn of
a million acres Of ~row Indian lands.
Fully realizing that unless the pend
ing bill is enacted into law prior to
March 4, the day when this congress
will adjourn, that the people Will be
obliged to wait another year CT two
without anything being accomplished
in that direction, the committee re-
solved to make n o supreme eff
fort. Ways and meal were devised
reach Speaker Henderson of the
house of representatives at Washing
ton and plead with him to allow the
Grow treaty bill to be made a special
order on some fixed day before ad-
journment. One or more members of
the lower house of congress will be
solicited direct to act in behalf of the
bill on the floor. In addition the sec
rotary of the committee was instruct
ed to write to a number of large
wholesale houses in the east who do
business with local merchants asking
them to make a request on their con-
gressmen to aid in the passage of the
bill.
The treaty for the sale to the gen.
eral government of a million acres
of Grow lands was made nearly four
years ago. 1t provides for the pay
ment of a little more than 81 an acre.
The strip borders along the Yellow
stone 60 miles and extends into the
reservation o5 miles. 1t is valuable
principally for %pasturage under the
present conditions, but bordering
along the Yellowstone and Big Horn
rivers there are immense areas suit
able for agriculture under irrigation.
The bill for the opening of this land
was originally introduced in congress
during the last year of Senator Car
ter's term as senator from the state.
1t passed the senate, but failed in
the house by reason of the opposition
offered by Cannon, chairman of the
committee on appropriations.
