Early returns indicate the nomination of Judge Samuel E. Greene as probate judge over Judge ]. P. Stiles. the incum- bent. This was very heated race and possibly created more general interest than any other contest. The Greene forces were jubilant last night and pre- dicted that the majority will be larger than is now expected.
 Harrington P Hefin has undoubtedly been renominated for solicitor of the crim- inal court of Jefferson county over W. K Terry and John D. Strange MT. Hehin will probably receive the largest major ity of any candidate on the ticket who has opposition.
 Returns so far received show that John Mcqueen is leading for circuit court so- licitor over John c. Pugh and Frank ca- halan. It will be impossible 10 give any, thing like an accurate estimate on this race until the final vote Is counted.

DIES IN EFFORT TO ESCAPE
DESPERATE MAN SHOOTS DEP
UTY SHERIFF IN MONTANA.
Closely Pursued, He Takes Refuge in
Residence of Gov. 0'Toole, Where
He Commits Suicide.

Helena, Mont, Aug. 13-Isaac Gra-
velle, on trial for robbing. powder
house near Helena last September of
giant powder, which was used in wreck
ing Northern Pacific trains, escaped
from the Lewis and Clark county Jail
Thursday afternoon after probably ia
tally shooting Tony Korizek, deputy
sheriff. Pursued by deputies and John
Raab, butcher who was armed, Gra-
velle took refuge in an alley beside the
residence of Gov. Joseph X. O'Toole,
where pistol duel took place. After an
exchange of shots Gravelle ran into the
basement of the governors house, where
he shot and killed himself He had been
wounded by bullets from the guns of his
pursuers.
The escape took place at two o'clock,
as Gravelle was about to be led from the
Jail to the court room in the county
building across the street. Deputy
sheriff Korizek and Jailor Jones were
in the Office when the former led Gra-
velle out of the cell room. Suddenly
Gravelle; pulled revolver and fired
twice at the deputy, his bullets taking
effect in Korizek's breast few inches
from his heart. Jones was not armed
and threw up his hands Gravelle or
dered the jailer to open the door of the
jail, which he did. Gravelle ran one
block eastward, where he tried to mount
horse. He was too hotly pressed, how
ever, and continued his flight
A moment later Gravelle took refuge
in the alley beside Gov. o. Toole's house
from which. he emptied his revolver at
his pursuers. There Gravelle, wounded,
ran into the basement of the governors
house, where he blew out his brains.
Gravelle was convicted five months
ago of sending threatening letters to Of
ficials of the Northern Pacific of whom
he demanded $4,000. 1t was proved that
he had dynamited Northern Pacific
trains and property in an effort to black
mail the company. He was captured
after long campaign that cost the
Northern Pacific $4,000. He was SEN
fenced to ten years in the penitentiary
Gravelle had been in the penitentiary
twice before. He was range rider and
cattler rustler,, and was regarded as a
dangerous and desperate man.
Sheriff O'Connell does not know how
Gravelle got his gun, but believes it was
smuggled into him by a trusty or Wis
itor. After Gravelle had shot the deputy
sheriff in the Jail office he took the Of
f1cer's gun, and it was with that weapon
that he did most of the shooting at the
residence of the governor
