DEFIED BARS AND BOLTS
Arthur Neill Makes Sensational Ex- cape From Sanitarium In
 St. Louis.

A press dispatch from St. Louis under date of October Il says:
 By means of rope made from strips of bed clothing, Attorney Arthur Neill, 24 years old, of Batesville, Ark, who is a son of a former Arkansas Congressman, made a sensational escape from St. Vinent's Asylum, located in St. Louis County, late last night, walked five miles into the city, where he was taken in charge by friends at 3;30 Tuesday morning, and is now in the City Hospital obs ervation ward.
 Neill, who has been in the in- stitution for some time for treat ment, occupied a room on the third floor. Iron bars were fast ened over the windows. Two of these bars Neill removed with tools he had made from shoe shanks and a large screw.
 After removing the bars Neill firmly fastened his improvised rope and slid down thirty feet. When he reached the end of the rope he was still ten feet from the ground, but without hesitation he dropped to the earth, he trudged down the St. Charles rock road in- to the city.
 "Encountering friends, he boast ed of his escape, but did not ob- ject to accompanying them to po- lice headquarters, where observing his condition, the police sent him to the City Hospital.
 "NeilPs home is at Batesville. Ark, and he was up, to a few months ago, partner of ex-Goy- Daniel w. Jones, who was for four years the Chief Executive of that State and under whom Neill officiated as private secretary dur ing his term.''

GOV. DAVIS FOR PRESIDENT
Newport Attorney Predicts That Gov. Davis Will be Nominated For
 President in 1908.

Attorney Geo. l.. Grant of New port, who spent Wednesday in the city, expressed the opinion in con- versation with a Journal reporter that Governor Davis will win an easy victory in the battle for votes as a senatorial candidate against Senator James H. Berry in the coming campaign.
 MT. Grant Is an enthusiastic ad- mirer of Governor Davis and took an active interest in behalf of the governor in the recent campaign.
 Davis is one of the brainiest men ever elected governor of Ar kansas, said Mir. Grant, and it would be no surprise to me to see the Democrats nominate him for president in 1908. His attitude on the trust question is we'll known throughout the entire South, and is fully in accord with the plat form declarations of the party on this important issue.
 Why, the governors fame,o said he, is spreading to all parts of the Union, and 1 recently heard prominent Democratic politician from Kentucky make the assertion that Davis is today the greatest man in the South. The governors election to the United States sen- ate will add further to his reputa- tion; will give him wider field of usefulness and bring him more prominently before the people, and l confinently predict that a wave of popular enthusiasm for Davis for President will sweep the country in 1908.

BOB CROSBYS DARING
 ESCAPE FROM JAIL
Slayer of Sheriff Morgan Over-
 powered Jailer and Escaped.
Also Gave Trauger Freedom, But They We're Recaptured by Citizens
 After a Hard Chase.

Robert Crosby, the young man who killed Sheriff Morgan, escap- ed from jail at Batesville Sunday afternoon about one o'clock. That was the startling information. im- ported to Journal representative by Coroner M. NJ. Stewart who came down from Batesville Mon day night.
 Sheriff Kaneaster was out of town, and the only one on guard at the jail was Joseph Craig. Crosby slipped his handcuff in some manner and when the taller entered his cell for some purpose Crosby assaulted him, dashed a blanket over him, crushing him to the floor Overpowering the jail CT, he tied the blanket securely over his head. Then, taking the keys, he let out Trauger, who IS awaiting trial for wholesale rob- bery. Together the two men lock- ed the jailer in the cell and walked quietly out of the jail, not attract ing any attention until opposite the Baker hotel, which is close to the jail, when Herman Schott re- cognized Crosby and shouted the alarm. The men instantly took to their heels, running like deers, but half dozen men, who were close by, immediately gave chase to the fugatives.
 They ran by the Landers & Cook livery stable, where Paul Baker, young man, ran out, at tempting to intercept them, but Crosby dodged to one side and de- llvered vicious lick at Baker with his fist, Deputy Marshal c. B. Eaton, who was inside the jail at the time of the time of the es- cape, ran out and joined in the pursuit and fired number of shots, but did not hit the men be- cause of two pursuers who were tetween him and the fugitives.
 Crosby and Trauger separated at the next corner, but the pursu- CTS were close after both of them, and after hard chase Crosby was overtaken three blocks from the Jail. He was captured by Paul Baker and travelling man, Otis Johnson, who joined the pursuit from the Baker hotel. He was quickly overpowered and returned to jail.
 Trauger, in the meantime, got further away than his companion, but two men were close on his heels, and when Ted Irons, clerk at the Baker hotel, hit him in the back with a rock he stopped and gave up to Irons and A. F. Nash.
 After the men were returned to Jail they were searched and locked in their cells. X guard of six men has been placed at the jail.
 The affair created no end of ex- and some talk was made of lynching Crosby, but no att tempt was made.
