1t is said by persons close to him
that William A. CLARK. Jr, youngest
son of Senator William A. Clark of
Montana, has completed negotiations
for the purchase of the famous Bitter
Root breeding farm of the late Marcus
Daily at Missoula. The price is I'm.
known, but will range well toward ST..

is that Senator Clark and Mr.. Daily fol

Woman Would Be Legislator.

Mrs. Electa M. Eggleston is the sec
ond woman in Massachusetts to be
nominated for state representative
having been chosen by the Prohibition
lists of the first Hampshire district.
The first woman so named was Mrs
Fanny Clary Of Williamsburg. At
that time many outside the Prohibi
ton party looked on the matter as a
joke because they believed that even
il she were elected she could not be
enrolled in the house of representa-.
tives. The question was referred to
the attorney general of Massachusetts
for a decision and he ruled that there
is nothing to prevent a woman becom-
ing member of the house of repre-
sentatives If she wins an election.

Had Fun With the Umpire.

William Hayes acted as umpire at
ball game near Washington, Pa, last
Sunday, and his decisions did not
seem to give unmixed satisfaction.
Toward the close Of the game he gave
one decision which evidently gave
great pain to the players on both
sides. Half a dozen of them seized
and carried him to a nearby river and
tossed him in. Umpire Hayes scram.
bled out in a hurry, whereupon the in.
dignant athletes threw him back and
held him under water until he was
nearly drowned. Then they rolled him
on a beer keg until he recovered,
when they volunteered the informa-
ton that he was not cut out for an
umpire. On reflection Mr.. Hayes is
prepared to agree with this idea. How
ever, he means to sue a dozen Of his

WOMAN BETRAYS
EXPLOSION VICTIM
Prisoner Ferguson Belonged to Morris
Gang and Escaped From Jail.

St. Louis Through the confession Of
Agnes Blanc, alias Jones, and other
aliases, made to Chief Desmond Thurs.
day, Jerry Franklin Ferguson, alias
John Doe, alias Baker, who was ar
rested following an explosion of nitro
glycerin in front of 612 Chestnut ST.
Sunday night. was identified as one OF
eight prisoners who, on August IL,
1903, tunneled beneath the Jail at
Neosho, Mo-, and escaped. Her con
fession also duplicates him with the
Morris-Vaughan- ROsenauer gang of
train robbers, whose arrest in a room
at 1924 Pine street cost the lives of
three city detectives.
The woman formerly lived with Fer
guson, but says she left him a week
ago because of his jealous disposition.
The separation was followed by the
nitroglycerin incident, which occurred
while Ferguson was in search of the
girl and his supposed rival. This led
her to tell the police all she knew Of
the man.
From New York, the woman claims,
It
then to Joplin. Mo. 1t was while in
Joplin that Ferguson was arrested for
the burglary of merchandise store at
Neosho, Mo-, few days previous.
While in Jail the wholesale delivery
took place. She visited him often in
JAIL she says, and after the escape met
him at Joplin, and the two came to
st. Louis.
They lived at 1105 Chouteau avenue,
which, she stated, later became a rem.
desvous for the is-Vaughan-Rose-
nauer gang. Morris and Vaughan fire.
quently met there, she said, and plan
ned with Ferguson. After these visits,
she stated, Ferguson frequently would
leave the house with Morris and Vaug-
han and remain away for weeks at a
time. At the time of the Illinois Cen
trail train robbery at Harvey, she said,
| Ferguson was absent for nearly a
week. A few days after this robbery
he had sent her an envelope contain
ing money from Nation, III. Mat
toon is but short distance from
where the train was robbed, and Nor
ris, in his confession, told of holding
up railroad operator there.
Ferguson, when confronted by the
woman and told that she had con-
fessed, corroborated her story before
Chief Desmond He stated that he
had been in Jail under the alias OF
Frank King in Neosho, and described
| to the chief how the eight prisoners
escaped. Sheriff John Beavers OF
Neosho wired that he would come to
st. Louis to take charge of the pris.
oner.
William Anderson, city marshal of
Sullivan, Mo, identified Ferguson in
connection with the blowing of the
safe in the general store and post of,
fee conducted by l.. A. Fisher there
two weeks ago. The marshal recog
nized Ferguson as the stranger who
had been seen lounging near the post
Office the day before the robbery, and
who had disappeared the following
day. Ferguson refused to talk of the
Sullivan robbery.
The crew of the Illinois Central
railroad train, which was held up and
robbed by Morris and his gang, will
be summoned to st. Louis in an effort
to identify Ferguson with the hold
up. If he is recognized he will be
rearrested when released from the
