Although possible, it is not probable
that W. Guy Landers, Jr, will be tried
IT the forthcoming term of the dis
Eict court for Yellowstone county, as
it is very unlikely that he will be on
hand when that time arrives.
The fact is tina. he broke Jail some
TIME during Wednesday night and pre-
sumably did SO with the intention OF
putting himself beyond the jurisdic-
tion and reach OF those who had de-
signs against his freedom and per-
sonal comfort.
There was nothing particularly sen
sational or daring about his escape.
Becalse OF the way the Jail is heated

then made a hole into the ceiling.
Having reached the attic he next re-
moved some of the bricks in the apex
of the gable at the west side of the
building. When he had made an .aper-
ture large enough to permit of his
egress he fashioned several blankets
into a rope and then lowered himself
to the ground. Nothing now stood
between him and the freedom he
craved, and he disappeared in the
darkness.
Not being polite or ~considerate
enough to leave word as to where
he intended to. go or as to what his
address would be, nothing has been
seen or heard OF him since then.

Butte.
Bouh Butte and Helena have beer
honored by a visit from the president
and according to all accounts it vas
a case of rivalry between the two
cities which could show their distin-
guished guest the greater respect.
I At Helena the military stationed at
Fort Harrison turned out and acted
as guard to the commandments.
The capitol vas visited, where speech
es were made by the governor and
mayor and president. A drive about
| the city followed. During his stay
Roosevelt met a number of personal
acquaintance and manifested great
pleasure at meeting them.
At Butte ven greater preparations
had been made for his reception.
! The national guard, veterans Of two
wars and citizens by the hundreds
met the presidential party at the sta
ton and escorted it to the city. The
inevitable drive about town was not
omitted. The president made a speech
from the balcony of one of the hotels
and subsequently was the guest OF
honor at q dinner given by Mayor
Mullins and the Business Mems as
sociation. In the evening Roosevelt
was the guest Of the Silver Bow
Trades and Labor assembly and made
another speech at Columbia gardens.
Like at Helena he singled out many
from the crowds and recalled the
days when personal acquaintances
were formed.
LAS ;mementoes of the visit he took
| with him several handsome presents.
| One was a loving cup from the citi-
! zens of Butte, another a rare and
costly vase presented by the people
OF Anaconda, still another a beautiful
| scale emblematic of justice, of sill
yer, copper and gold, presented by
the colored people of Butte, and a
| large picture OF himself etched in
copper and framed in the same metal.
a gift to Mrs. Roosevelt from the
workingmen of Butte.
Probably the president did not real
ize the distinction it accorded him,
but, in his honor Butte's mayor had
arrayed himself in a dress suit when
he attended the dinner and also wore
a plug hat during the parade, sacri-
fees of personal comfort and habit
II is. doubtful that would have been
made for any other person in the
world, except the president.

MANY FAMILIES MADE SHELTER
LESS BY FLOODS.
HIGH WATER AT DESMoINES
lowa's Capital City Badly Damaged
on Account of Unusual Rise
in River.

Des Moines, Ia, May 28.-Hun-
dreds of families were driven from
their homes by floods today, closely
approaching the unprecedented record
of last year, and the river continues
to rise with such rapidity as to render
it apparent that last years record
would soon be surpassed.
At the Sixth street bridge in North
Des Moines the gauge is within six
inches OF last years record of 21.4
feet. In the heart of the city, the
gauge indicated approximately 10 feet.
Water Rises Rapidly.
The water today is rising at the
rate of two inches an hour. Reports
from above Des Moines indicate that
last years record has been surpassed
and the water rising at a startling
rate.
Ali night scores of men patrolled
the river banks, Strengthening levees,
| while many mor were employed in
removing inhabitants and household
! goods from the bottoms.
All the levees in Maurice street
gave way before the floods of the
Des Moines river, swelled by those
of the Raccoon, and Is houses were
flooded in an incredibly short time,
forcing the inmates to run for their
lives.
The Raccoon is keeping pace with
the Des Moines and has devastated
many square miles of territory in the
southwestern portion of the state.
Big Bridge Goes.
At 9:45 the center span of the $685.
900 Mellan arch bridge in process
of constructionon Sixth street, was
carried away and it was apparent
the south span could not withstand
the mighty current.
The wreckage was swept against
the street railway bridge and that
structure had a narrow escape.
The loss 10 the bridge is estimated
at S30,C coo.
Bad Break Comes.
At noon the Des Moines river, in
the heart of the city, was 2O.4 feet
and still rising rapidly.
At II O'Clock a break occurred in
the North Des Moines levee, inundat
ing a large residence district.
News from over the state is moi
reassuring. At Cedar Falls the Cedar
river rose suddenly during the night
so that a large number of persons
had to be rescued in boats from up
per floors. The little Sioux and the
Nishnabotna rivers are the highes,
in their history.

Wakes WrOth
Denounces Methods Employed by
Counsel in Shipbuildins
Hearing at N. Y.

New York, Nov. 5.--The feature of
today's session Of the hearing IN the
United States Shipbuilding case was
the bitter attacks made by Lewis Nix
on upon William D. Guthrie. counsel
for defendants, for his methods Of
cross-examination Nixon was on the
stand all day. His cross-examination
was finished and redirect examina-
tion partly completed.
At the opening of the afternoon ses-
sion he presented personal protest,
In which he declared that Guthrie. in
consultation with Max Pam, adopted
a line OF questioning designed to place
him in false and discreditable posi-
tion regarding the sale Of his plant to
the shIpbuilding company. The protest
was angry and bitter in tone, and inti-
mated that Gutherie had been unfair
in asking him to answer from MEM
ory questions about the finances of
his company without an opportunity to
look up details.
BY agreement Of counsel the protest
was stricken from the record, but Nix
on thereafter insisted that II he were
to answer questions, he should be al
lowed to make the necessary explana-
tions.

WEAKNESS IN STEEL MARKET
Prices in New York Touch Low
est Point in Years.

New York, Nov. 5.-Persistent weak
ness in the United States Steel seeuri-
ties today was weight upon the whole
stock market. The repressive effect
was evident at the outset, when stocks
of both classes and second bonds all
opened at lower prices than ever before.
In olltpouring stocks in late dealings,
the price of common touched 10 rs, pre-
ferred, "a 6-S, and second bonds, sc rs.
The slump In these securities, after the
long continued decline which they have
already undergone, let loose food of
rumors and conjectures, Some Of these
were colored with sensational tinge,
but the conviction was very general In
the street that the situation in iron and
steel trade was very liscouraglng and
conditions were much upset.

accident which undoubtedly will cost
him his life. His body was perforated
by a thousand steel needles In the ma
chinery. waish's duty was to watch
the machine which separates the hemp
into strands and regulates the move
ment OF the hemp. As he bent over to
pick up piece Of hemp. the machinery
clutched his clothes and he was drawn
into II, shrieking for aid. There were
1000 steel needles moving up and down
and his body was fr4ghtfully torn. The
machinery was stopped. but II was
found necessary 10 take 1t apart before
he could be released. So acute was the
pain that the boy prayed for death aft

OUR ATTITUDE IS FRIENDLY

Colon. Nov. 5.--After a conference
this afternoon. General Torres, COM
mander Of the Colombian troops here
seeing that the situation was hopeless,
embarked his soldiers on the Royal
Mail steamer orinoco, which sailed for
CartaRena al .. M. A special train
from Panama brought General Tovar,
who also sailed on the Orinoco. The
people OF Colon are now jubilant.
Troops from Panama viii doubtless
take charge OF the city tomorrow. The
municipal council OF Colon has notified
the provisional government at Panama
of It's adherence to the new republic.
The United States cruiser Dixie has
just arrived.
The tension here was somewhat re-
lieved this evening. when General Tor
res and General Tovar, with their SOL
diers. sailed for Cartagena. After a
conference last night between the Unit
cd States consul and the Colombian
commander General Torres, II was
agreed that the Colombian troops
should be removed from the city. but
this morning General Torres marched
his troops TO the center OF the city,
which caused the landing OF the Amer
lean blueJackets, The marines were
entrenched behind bales OF cotton on
the yharves.
When asked for his reason for hav-
Ing disregarded his agreement. General
Torres said that Monkey hill, the place
where his troops were encamped. was
too unhealthy. rendering a return to
town necessary. This afternoon Gen.
eral Tovar and his staff at Panama be-
came convinced of the hopelessness Of
resisting the provisional government
and agreed to abandon the town. This
decision was brought about by Com
mander Hubbard, Of the Nashville, and
Assistant Superintendent Prescott, Of
the Panama railroad. and was doubt
less hurried by the fact that at the
time revolutionists were marching to-
ward the line OF the Colombian forces.
When General Torres learned Of Gen.
Tovars decision he reconsidered the
threat made earlier In the day to give
fight to any rebel troops coming from
Panama, and agreed likewise to leave
for Cartagena. Late this afternoon a
special train brought General Tovar
from Panama and at p. m, when the
steamship Oronoco sailed. she carried
both generals and their troops.
