the man who murdered John Heffernan at
Ardsley few weeks ago. The man refused
to tell what he knew to the police or lot them
know who he was. and during the after
noon he broke out Of jnil and escaped.
The man is described as being about &c
years old. Of medium height, light hair
and blue eyes He was poorly dressed,
but talked as though he was we'll educated
He tramped into town by way OF the rail-
road track, carrying grip, and conflded
to several boys who were standing noar
tho railroad station .hat he could give
description Of Hefrernan's murderer,
They told Policeman Murray, who ar
rested him as a suspicious person. Murray
questioned the prisoner, both about his
knowledge OF the murder and about him
self, but could get no information. so he
locked the man up and went back on post.
The jail is little one-story wooden
structure and as the police force Of two
men had to be on post no one wat ched It,
Some time in the afternoon some one
brought the prisoner an axe and he cut his
way out. He hasn't been seen since.
Three mon who were confined in the jail
on a charge Of intoXication did not try to
set out. One Of them said that the stranger

KANSAS CALLS FOR MEN.
"a. 600 Harvest Hands Needed to eavo
the Wheat Crop.

TOPEKA. Kan, June 2l.-State Employ
ment Agent Gerow said tonight that the
saving Of the 10000 900 bushel wheat crop
in Kansas is grave question. He has
issued call after call for harvest hands.
but apparently his efforts are fruitless.
Twenty nine counties in the great wheat
belt will in ten days need the services OF
$4,000 more men for the harvest than Kan
sas can supply. These men must como
from States further east.
Chicago and New York could furnish
these alone for more than that number
are idle in these cities" he says, but they
will not come TO Kansas and earn ~ a day
and board. They seem to prefer idleness
and strikes
The wheat farmers cannot get binding
twine. The State plant in the penitentiary
is working night and day to furnish twine
below the trust prices, but 1t cannot supply
the demand. To-day the Santa Fs and
Rock Island railroads each rought 100
men from Chicago free to work on the re-
pair of bridges and disabled tracks. As
soon as they arrived at Newton and MoPher-
son in the wheat belt they abandoned the
trains and scattered through the country
to accept higher wages from the wheat
farmers.
