COUNTY JAIL WAS
 NEARLY EMITTED.
NINETEEN PRISONERS MAKE THEIR
 ESCAPE.
Stiles and AlyOrd GO-The Worst Char acters in the Territory Are Now at Large and Slight Prospect
 of Capture.
From the Blsbee Review.

Again has Tombstone h@9 t-.eil de- livery. Tuesday marked the time of the second successful break for liberty. The most notorious characters in the territory are at large. Nineteen pris- oners, accused of everything from larceny and robbing the mails to mur- der. performed trick, for which there seems to be but little excuse in having been allowed. Among the crew that escaped are Bert Alvord, Billy Stiles, Johuny James, Sailor Brown and Tom Grady, the highwayman who waived his hearing but q few days ago Tn Bis bee for holding up q dozen men near the slag dump. and it would seem that he anticipated the very release he re- ceived that evening through the jail escape, 50 successfully planned and more successfully carried out.
 Tuesday evening just little after six o'clock, D.puty Sheriff Porter Me- Donald, who, by the way. made the sue ;essful capture of Billy Stiles, was seated in the front office at the sher- itf's desk awaiting the return of Jailer Harrington and Under Sheriff Cal lagban from supper, when to his ut ter amazement there ran into the office Jack Virgin, prisoner who had been arrested and confined in the jail at the request of the SIn Francisco. for de- sertiOn from the navy only the evening previous, and informed the dumb founded deputy that there had been a jail break, and that number Of pris- onerS were at that moment making their way to the Mexican side as fast as their legs wonld carry them.
 Mcdonald rushed around to the rail- road side Of the jail and fired his re- vnlver to attract the attention Of the people. Upon hearing the shots large rumber'of citizens rushed ot the jail, anG on the west-si,lc> the gaping hole in the wall near the second story told the story of how the birds had flown the GOOD.

 The complaint says the union was formed last September. altEourh re- lations between the mining company and the men had been friendly. and that in November the strike was de- clared by the union because miner was discharged for incompetence. The company .hcu attempted to i'm port miners, but these were driven out by an armed mob led by union men.
 One miner was badly hurt, much property destroyed and the managers life was threatened. So great was the terror caused that the mine had to shut down. eniailing great loss, as il IS filling up now with water.

It was with great difficulty that any horses could be acquired at all. Fair banks. Benson, Naco, Douglas and Bisbee were telephoned to giving an account of the delivery and the pris- oners. Investigation Of the jail show ed that the escape was engineered by an adept at the business. 4 piece of wire, an old knife and saw had baen the tools of the busy j1y breakers. With these they had say, the two- by-four pieces, an Opetorg rg pushed through the brick :all. and nothing stood between the prisoners and their liberty. unless they might be caught in the act Of getting away.
 The whole plan of escape is furn- ished by the prisoner Jack Virgin, who first advised the deputy of what had occurred.
 It would appear that the escape was all planned, and was being matched out all day Tuesday by the prisoners confined on the west side of the jail. This Virgis had seen, but the older prisoners did not seem disposed to take their new com mpanion in on the deal of going away.
 Virgin tried all day to get the atten- tion of one of the jail attendants, so that he ght inform them Of what was going On. but the hard old-timers there had informed him that death came to him at the first sign of his disloyalty. As soon as darkness had arrived, the energies of the "get- aways" were applied with renewed vigor.

CANAL TREATY REPORTED TO SENATE

Washington, Feb. 3.-The Panama
canal treaty was reported to the sen
ate executive session today by Sena-
tor Cullom, chairman of the commit
tee on foreign relations. He did not
make any effort to secure considera-
ton of the treaty, but stated that the
committee had agreed not to report
it until amended. Senator Morgan
offered in the senate the amendments
to the treaty which he had ordered
printed without being read.
The agreement to report the treaty
was reached after three of four sit
tings, devoted in the main to hear
ing Senator Morgan's objections to
the document in it's present shape. He
had not concluded when the vote to
report was taken today. but he an
nounced that he would be willing to
transfer the discussion to the floor
of the senate. This was in accord

Buried in snowsIide.

Eugene, Ore, Feb. 3.-Ira Miller,
who came down from Blue River to-
day, tells a thrilling story of a mar
row escape which he had from death
last Thursday. He was in a cabin on
the side of the mountain, when he
heard a strange noise, which after
ward proved to be "a snowslide. He
started for the door, but before ne
reached it the cabin was taken vio-
lently from it's footing and hurled
down the side of the mountain. Mil
Ter was thrown a distance of % feet
when the cabin went to pieces and
alighted at the edge of an overhang-
ing embankment, where he crouched
and allowed the avalanche to pass
over him. He afterward dug his way
out through the snow with his hands.
He considers his escape little less
than a miracle.

UNEARTH HYPN0TlZED PROFESSOR

KeOkuk, Ia, Feb. 3.-After overpoW-
ering a squad of armed policemen as
a guard, 35 students of the Keokuk
Medical college early this morning
dug up Professor Cozad, who was
buried yesterday for seven days sleep
in an alleged cataleptic state. The
students were organized and made
quick work of the policemen, i'll spite
of a display of revolvers by the Off
GERS. The grave was under a tent in
the main street. A Waterman stood
guard over the living corpse. The
street was quiet until shortly after
midnight, when the Students, in dou-
Bile file, marched down the street to
the tent that covered the grave of
the professor. The Waterman was
overpowered and bound without being
hurt. Five students began to throw
earth from the grave, while others
held the Waterman and guarded
against interference. Someone sent
in a riot cali and the police, under
Captain Dietz, responded. When they
reached the grave, it was half emit
ed of earth. Clubs in hand, the po-
lice attacked the students. The stu
dents formed a flying wedge and drove

ator Cullom, chairman of the COM
mittee.
Only two senators, Morgan and Ba-
con, voted against it. Senator Bacon
announced that his opposition was to
the time of reporting and not to the
treaty itself. He said he was favor
able to the treaty as it now stands
and would vote for it, but he believ-
ed that it should not be reported I'M
til consideration in committee should
be exhausted.
The committee will recommend rat

Senator Cullom says he has formed
no plans for calling it up in the sen-

TO DEFEAT THE PRETENDER.
WAS AIDED BY HIRElINCS
Cooperation of the Purchased Benz
Ourein Tribe at Critical Time
Saved the Day.

Tangier, Morocco, Feb. 3.-The de-
tails of the sultan's victory Thursday
over the forces of the p%retender, show
that the battle was stubbornly con-
tested and that the formers success
was largely due to the cooperation at
a critical moment of the Beni-Ourien
tribe, whose detection from the rebels
the sultan had previously purchased.
The artillery of the imperial forces
which were commanded by the minis
ter Of war consisted Of eight Max
inns and four Krupps. The sultan's
troops opened the attack early in the
morning and shortly afterward the
pretenders' camp was assailed in the
rear by the Benz ureins. In spite of
the surprise and disadvantages of
position, the rebels stubbornly main
fighting continued for three hours.
The slaughter was very great. The
remnants of the rebel army then
broke, abandoned the camp and fled
il. the direction of Tazab. The i'm
perial troops are pursuing the fugi
tives, and, if the pretender is not
among these, the capture is certain.
There is great rejoicing at Fee as a
result of the victory of the sultan's
forces.

ir the supreme court today signed an
order for a panel lof 100 jurors for the
trial of William Hooper Young, accus-
ed of the murder of Mrs. Anna Pulit-
ger. The case will be called on We'd
nesday.
Young is charged with having MUIR
dered Mrs. Pulitzer, placed her body
in a trunk which he dumped in a
canal. The lack of direct evidence
against him bids fair to make it one
of the most interesting murder trials
in recent years.
