Broke JaiI

Brennan, the bank robber, who
was convicted and sentenced during
the last term of district court here,
in some way made a hole in the
cage in the Jail and got away in
broad daylight last Friday. He
was left unguarded from 10 O'Clock
in the morning until five in the eve
ming when it was discovered that he
had made his escape. 1t is suppos-
ed that he had help from the outside
as the hole in the cage was made
with either nitro-glycerine or acid.
Immediately after the discovery
that he vas gone searching parties
were sent out but without success
and up to this time he is still at
large. The other prisoner, who was
confined for obtaining money under
false pretenses also made his escape.

Prairie Dog Poison.

D. E. Lantz, the official prairie
dog exterminator, has issued an
other bulletin from the Kansas Ag-
ricultural college. Itis in regard to
poison for prairie dogs and other
rodents. The bulletin follows:
The Legislature at it's last session
made provisions for continuing the
work of preparing and distributing
poison from the college at the cost
of the materials contained in it.
During the past two years, since
January, 7, 1902, the demand for
poison has continued steadily, and
large quantities have been sold,
especially for the destruction of
prairie dogs and pocket gophers.
Up to the present time we have con-
sumed about I, 200 pounds of strych-
nine and over a half ton of potas-
SUM cyanide in manufacturing the
poison. From 600, 900 to 100, 900
acres of land, formerly infested with
prairie dogs have been entirely re-
claimed, while partial destruction
of them have been accomplished
over much larger area. The de-
struction of the pocket gophers have
been accomplished over many small
and widely scattered areas, including
some of the best alfalfa ranches in
the state This work however, has
thus far not extended over sufficient
ly large areas to be permanent, and
further and united efforts only, will
produce results which will prevent
loss to alfalfa growers from the pres
ence of the pest.
FOR PRAIRIE DOGS.
The poison is put up in half gal
Ion cans. They have labels which
describe the contents, name the in
gradients, the quality of each, the
manner of preparing, and also give
careful directions for using. The
strychnine in this poison is not in
solution, but is held in suspension
in the syrup. 1t settles to the bot
tom of the can, after the matter of
lead in ordinary mixed paint. A
common error in using, is to pour
out a portion without first having
thoroughly shaken or stirred it.
When thus used, the top part of the
liquid is not sufficiently poisonous to
kill all the animals that eat it. If
it is first stirred or thoroughly
shaken, part of the can may be
used as successfully as the whole of
it.
We recommend that the area of
"dog town" to be poisoned be gone
over very carefully, placing the bait
at the outside of all occupied bur-
rows as directed. If some of the
animals escape the first application,
a change of bait to Kaffir corn,
broken corn or corn meal is recon-
mended for those that remain. If
after a second application any
animals remain, carbon bisulphide
will probably be the most effective
means of destroying the remnant.
The price of the prairie dog poison
is s1.75 per can, delivered at the
freight or express Office in Manhat-
tan. Three or four cans may be
sent by express, wrapped in paper,
but large number must be boxed.
Any number of cans may be sent by
freight, but they must be boxed
No charge is made for packing. A
can of poison weighs five and half
pounds. 1t will poison bushel of
wheat and be enough for about 1900
burrows. (from 12o to 100 acres. }
