SAWED THEIR WAY OUT.
Escape Of Two Prisoners Confined in

Escape Of Two Prisoners Confined in
City Jail.
Taking advantage OF an old break
in the bars and the assistance render.
ed from the outside, William Santa
con and William Miner, prisoners con-
fined in the city Jail, worked thsf
way to liberty last Tuesday night.
The fact that both were charged with
minor offenses causes the belief they
feared recognition in connection with
some of the more serious crimes that
have been committed here recently or
else were wanted" elsewhere.
Miner was serving sentence for
disturbing the peace, while Sanfacon
was to have been tried tomorrow for
the theft of some cutlery.
A saw and heavy cold chisel were
the implements used in effecting the
escape. Just when the men got away
is not known, as their absence was
not discovered until daylight Wednes.
day morning.
John Schonneger is under arrest
on the charge of being the person who
supplied the fugitives with the tools
they used in breaking out. 1t is said
that he threw the chisel and saw into
the Jail from the outside. Other pris-
| oners in the Jail identify him as the
man who furnished the tools. He was
in Jail the night before, having been
arrested for vagrancy.

HAVE NAMED TICKET.
Socialists Place State Candidates in
Field Early.

Although they knew they would
face inevitable defeat, there was no
lack of good socialists, who for the
sake of principle were exceedingly
on the state ticket of the cult, nomi-
mated at Helena last Tuesday. There
was lively contest for each office,
and strange as it may appear, the
position OF attorney general seems to
have been regarded with especially
high favor. Five or six sought the
empty honor, all from Butte.
A vigorous campaign was decided
upon and it will be begun at once,
as the managers OF the party are de-
termined that the people OF Montana
shall have ample opportunity to ac-
quaint themselves with the teachings
and aspirations of socialism.
Following is the ticket, which, it
will be seen, is composed quite lib
orally OF men from Butte, the center
OF Montana's socialistic crowd:
Presidential electors-W. N. Hol-
den, Silver Bow; ]. F. Maybe, Park;
Joseph Hoar, Silver Bow.
Governor-George O'Malley, Silver
Bow.
Lieutenant governor-John w.
Frinke, Deer Lodge.
Congressman-J. H. Walsh, Fergus.
Chief justice of supreme court
G. M. Parr, Silver Bow.
Clerk OF supreme court-Jchn Pc
ters, Carbon.
Secretary of state-H. Lynch, Fer
gus.
State treasurer-Eric Oleson, Cas-
cade.
State auditor-W. C. Phelps, Lewis
and Clarke.
Attorney general-E. o. Jackson,
Silver Bow.
Superintendent of public instruc-
tion-Mrs. R. Amia German, Silver
Bow.

Two Wyoming Men Have Their Own
Way Of Going to the
Big Show.

There was no crash of music, no
jostling OF crowds, no stylishly dress

break the traditional bottle OF wine,
or any of the other ceremonial or
display usually attendant upon the
launching of craft on the bosom of

Gus Holmes constructed with their
own hands bobbed up and down on
the turbulent Yellowstone like bottle
the simplicity and utter lack of cere-
mony, the launching of the craft was
a success and the first move had
been made in voyage that has st.
Louis for it's terminus.
John Holmes and his son, Gus, re-
side at Cody, Wyo A long time ago
position and having plenty OF time
and desire for adventure concluded
to go not in the ordinary way. In
stead of travelling by rail they made
up their minds to go by water. Not
caring to trust the treacherous Big
Horn, they planned to come to Bill
ings, build their boat here and then
float down the Yellowstone to its
confluence with the Missouri, thence
to their destination.
Not a Cup Defender.
The craft they turned out has hardt
! ly the lines or symetry of cup de.
| fender, but she looks staunch and
seaworthy and withal is roomy and
commodious and suits her builders
and designers, probably of the most
Importance to them, as they alone
are to occupy it, being crew, officers
and passengers. In dimensions the
boat is 18 feet long over all; eight
feet beam and "a inches depth of
hold. Her displacement was not given,
but her builders think she will draw
about six or eight inches of water
when fully loaded Both ends are
, square and she is clinker built.
Instead of the usual decks, the
| unnamed is covered with tent
stretched over light frame OF wood.
AT the stern short Flagstaff rises in
the air, from which flies the stars
and stripes. A couple of stout oars
and sweep, resting in a lock in the
stern, composed the machinery of the
| boat as she slid into the water yes
terday afternoon below the new wagon
| bridge.
To The Gazette Gus Holmes said
that the intention was to permit the
current to do most of the work OF
propulsion, the oars being intended
merely to help them get out of any
tight places in which they might find
| themselves, while the sweep was for
steering purposes. At Bismarck, he
said, arrangements had been made for
| the installation of a gasoline engine
OF one-and-a-half horsepower. Here
the boat is to be supplied with a
wheel, in the stern; this is to rest
on a frame secured by hinges, so
that the propeller may be raised
should contact with snag or sandbar
make it necessary.
| AS they had it figured out Messrs.
Holmes expected to land at st. Louis
about August Is.

The accident happened only short
distance from where the collision of
a year ago last fall occurred, when
two passenger trains met head on
and two men lost their lives, while
many more were injured, some quite
seriously. That wreck was accom-
panied by the same great loss of pro-

horror, consuming the mail car and
the body of the clerk.

twenty minutes when they retured a
verdict Of guilty. e.
When the court adjourned last night
the case of the state VS. Geo. L. Vir-
go of Westhope was on trial. Il
= In nearly all Of the blind pig cases
that have been tried at this term
there has been terrible amount of
false swearing done. The state has
called witnesses that have sworn posi-
lively that they have bought liquor
from these men and the defendants
have gone on the stand and sworn
sometimes in the face Of overwhelmn-
ing evidence to the contrary that they
never sold liqour to any one. Some
thing should be done and if some of
the guilty parties were given term in
the penitentiary at hard labor it would
make the balance more careful of what
they were swearing to.

that he was not drunk at the time.
He said that it was light enough to
see people distinctly as there were
windows in the end of the loft.
Peter Levi was called by the State
but was not allowed to testify as the
knowledge he possessed was Of another
and separate transaction and could
not be introduced under the wording
of the indictment by the grand jury,
which charged defendant with selling
liquor to James Townsend and not to
o ther persons. At this point the state
rested its case and the defendant NOV.
ed to dismiss on the grounds of INSULT
cheney of evidence. The motion was
over-ruled. The defendant was called
and swore that he left Westhope about
the 21st of September and that he did
not return until abou: the 23rd of Oct
ober. He said that he had been thresh-
ing during this time. He swore pos
itively that he did not sell liquor to
Townsend or give him any. He said
that he remembered being with Town
send and Mcintyre when they had a
bottle but swore further that he did
not sell the liquor to these men, nor
to any one else in Westhope. The
defence rested and the state called in
|rebuttal.sJ James Townsend tosproxe
that he was with Mcintyre when the
bottle of liquor was purchased, but
the question of separate transaction
was raised and the witness was not per
mitted to testify further.
Peter Levi was again called and
testified that he bought bottle from
defendant and paid him $1.OO for it.
He said he bought it for liquor but
did not know whether it was whiskey
or not. He said that he had drank
whiskey but when asked if this tasted
like whiskey he said he did not know.
The court ordered him confined in the
county Jail for contempt of court until
he made up his mind whether it tast-
ed like whiskey or not. After being
in confinement about half an hour
witness came back and testified that
it tasted like whisKey. He was then
allowed to depart and it is likely in
future he viii know whether or not a
beverage tastes like whiskey when the
question is put to him in court. The
State rested and the defendant moved
the court to instruct the jury to bring

Court convened on Tuesday morning
and general review of the calendar
was taken up. The petit jury was
excused until 80. The grand jury
reported in the court room. and by
their foreman presented four indict-
ments. In each case bench warrats
were Issued and bail was fixed in the
different cases at 5000. $500, 800 and
$4,000 respectively. The grand jury also
offered a report on the condition of the
county Jail and made certain recon-
mendations regarding improvements
in the manner of heating the Jail.
The court instructed the sheriff to
have the windows of the Jail repaired
and fixed, SO as to prevent snow and
wind from coming in and also to no.
tify the purchasing committee of the
recommendations of the grand jury
and if they refuse to act to notify the
commissioners at their next meeting.
and in case they refused to act to no.
tify the court at once. The janitor
was called and asked if under the pre-.
sent system there was any way to heat
the basement without heating the up
per stories of the building. He
Informed the court that there was not,
and was then told to secure the ser
vices of a plu1nber'and have the neces-
sary changes made and an order would
he drawn to pay for the same. Court
then adjourned until 80, when the
work was taken up on the states at
torney's motion to call the case of the
state VS.. w. M. Gallagher, charged
with selling intoxicating liquor. This
was the case where the defendant was
indicted by the grand jury on the
charge of selling liquor to one James
Townsend. The State called as it's
first witness James Townsend. He
swore that he met the defendant in
Westhope and bought whiskey from
him at that place and that James Ben.
nett and Frank Morrin were with him.
Witness said that he got the whiskey
from defendant IN the loft of Powers
barn, that he never saw defendant
before but had seen him several times
since. The whiskey was bought il
the early part of October. He isaid
that there were some quilts on the hay
in the loft and that mon were lying or
them at the time. He said he was
positive that it was the defendant and

People Were Well Pleased

The first number of the Bottineau
Entertainment course was given in
the opera house on Monday evening
when William I. Nolan. the Minne-
sofa humorist, entertained a we'll filled
house in very pleasing manner. Mr.
Nolan possesses rare talent and many
OF those who heard him expressed the
wish that he would come again, which
is the best recommendation that can
possibly be given. If the other num-
bers on the course are as good as that
OF Nolan no one will have any rea-
son to regret having bought a course
ticket. Il

it was before. The defence rested
and the state called in rebuttal, James
Townsend. who swore that he was
with Mcintyre when the defendant
gave him the whiskey, at the south
side of McIntyre's restaurant. He
said that hetdrank some of the stuff
and that it was whiskey. The state
rested and the jury after being out ten
hours, brought in verdict Of not
guilty. The defendant was remanded
back, to the custody of the sheriff to
await further investigation.
The state VS.. F. A. Turner was call
ed and after jury was secured the
state called as it's first witness, James
Anderson, who swore that he met the
defendant in Westhope and bought a
bottle Of something that looked and
tasted like whiskey and that he paid
$2 for it, He said that the defendant
went to cook car to get the bottle and
that there was no one with him when
defendant gave him the bottle, but
that there were some men in the car
whom he did not know. He said that
he knew that it was whiskey because
you could feel the effects of it in
your head. He said that he got a
quart and that he and Heck Patterson
drank it on the way to Souris.
1 James Berry testified that he met
Turner in Westhope and asked for
something to drink. This was at Kip
pens barn and defendant went away
and returned with a bottle. There
was no one present at the time He
said that it looked and tasted like
4whiskey, and that he felt the effects
of it after drinking.
t VIM. Hines was called and said that
he bought whiskey from some one in
Westhope last fall, and to the best of
his rec ollection it was from this de-
fendant, but that he could not swear
positively. The state rested and the
defence called the defe ndant. after a
motion to dismiss had been over ruled.
He testified that he did not sell any
liquor to Anderson and that he never
saw him that he remembered of until
he went on the witness stand. He
said that he met Berry and that he
asked him if defendant knew where he
could get some booze, and he replied
he did. He said that he took 81. 100
and went and got bottle from Charles
Nash, who was engaged in selling whis-
Key with headquarters in sleeping
car. He swore that he did not sell
liquor to any of the states witnesses.
& The defence rested and renewed the
motion to dismiss. which was again
over ruled by the court The case
went to the jury, and after being ont
one half hour they returned verdict
of guilty.
The case of the state vs.. Joseph Nc
Carvel was the next case called and a
jury was secured without delay. The
first witness called was J. T. Neville,
who testified as to the location of the
building in which McCarvel was charg
ed with selling whiskev.
Duncan Mcintyre was the next wit
ness and he swore that he called at the
defendants s place and got drink of
whiskey. He said that Hines was
with him. and that he also drank, but
that there was no one present. He
testified that the building was located
north of the bowling alley.
Gus Rebel testified that he drank
in the building, and that Wilfred

A Quick Curtain

The Londale theatre company played
1.-The Power behind the Throne at
the Opera House ON Tuesday, evening
and they played it well but an unfort-
innate mistake in his cue by the boy,
who was handling the curtain caused
the play to have peculiar ending.
just at the point where the leading
lady apparently dies and her husband
bends over her there was quick cur
tain that was not down on the bills
and it prevented the discovery of the
fact that the lady was not really dead
but that there was spark of life left
and that the crisis finally passed and
things left in better shape generally
than was done through the boys mis-
take. u
