ton to be Enthusiastically in favor Of the
gentleman from Lexington, and on mo.
o.on of the delegates from Lunenburg

TELLS HOW PRISONER
ESCAPED FROM JAIL.
Mortenson Dyed His Hair, Put on Cap
and Coat and Walked Out

Fred Mortenson, who escaped from
the county jail last Tuesday while the
corridors were filled with visitors, is in
dubuque, Iowa, and the officials are
making frantic efforts to locate him be-
fore he leaves that city. The two men
who assisted him in making the es-
cape are now under arrest
Fred Niederhoefer and Chris Bern
stad are the parties under arrest for
assisting Mortenson to escape, and the
former has made clean breast of the
whole affair, telling how the escape
was planned and carried out Nieder-
hoefer is in the county jail and Bern
stad is in one of the branch police sta
lions. The following story of the es-
cape is told by Niederhoefer:
"Mortenson was employed in one Of
the unfrequented corridors as a trusty
prisoner, and we were allowed to visit
him on Tuesday in that place. One Of
US wore two coats, and we carried
cap, some hair dye and a cigar. AS
soon as we were in the dye was put
on Mortenson's blonde hair and eye
brows. He slipped into the coat, put
on the cap and lighted the cigar. We
walked around the jail like the other
spectators and went into the elevator
room. Mortenson stayed in the room
until we had gone down, and then fol-
lowed, no one having the slightest sus-
piciOn of who he was"

DAIRYMAN LOSES
NINE JERSEY COWS
Health Department Finds They Have
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Is Indignant


Samuel L. Plumb, dairyman at
1929 Lyndale avenue south, lost nine
FLOODED Jersey cows yesterday, the
health department. deciding that the
cows had tuberculosis and had them
killed.
The cows range in value from $50 to
$110 each. The appraisers appointed
to fix valuation so that the loss will
not be total cannot appraise "a, cow
over $35 according to the laws of the
state and the dairyman Is allowed but
three-quarters Of the appraisal fixed
by these men. e.
The inspector made his rounds Fri
day and injected tuberculine and took
the temperature of each cow. On re-
turning the next day he found that
their temperatures had risen two de-
grees, which, according to the test,
means that the cows have tuberculosis,
and yesterday the COWS were killed. :
Mr.. Plumb and many of his neigh
bors are indignant over the action Of
the health board. They asert that
the inspector would not allow the cows
to be taken outside of the barn, and
that when the examination was made
after the cows were dead, the results
were not made public.

He told the same story to Judge

NON-UNION MEN ARE
BEATEN BY STRIKERS

The first rioting of the day came when
Frank Miller was set upon by crowd
of strike sympathizers. They beat him
so badly that at the Englewood Union
hospital, where he was taken, it was said
that he had little chance to recover. Mil
Ter was set upon in front of Armour &
Co.'S plant, and after he had been kicked
almost to death he was found by pedes-
trians, who sent for a physician. 1t was
found that Miller's skull was fractured
and his jaw broken.
More trouble came when Joseph Youn-
ichs. employed at Nelson Morris & Co. s
plant, was taken out of the yards so that
his knee. that had been fractured by the
falling of a skid, could be cared for by a
physician The doctor, after attending the
wounded man. called an ambulance to
have the sufferer taken back into the
companys improvised hospital in the
yards.
A crowd assuming that Younichs was
a non union man, attacked the ambu-
lance and nearly upset the vehicle In an
endeavor to reached the supposed foe.
With drawn reyolvers two policemen and
the doctor defended their charge, the doc
tor declaring to the strike synpa thizers
that the wounded man was q fellow

Judge Dickinson and Attorney Hew-

day and but for the apology of the at

Attorney Hewitt was pleading the
case for William Smith and Dan Thorn
ly, who were charged with highway
robbery. He made a lengthy plea in
their behalf, but the judge turned the
boys over to the county Jail to await
the action of the grand jury. Hewitt
f1ared up at the decision, but the judge
called for the next case.
Hewitt went out and returned a sec
ond later with one of the witnesses for
the state who had a statement to make.
The court absolutely refused to listen
and ordered the attorney to leave the
room. He did, but again returned and
attempted to resume his contention
that the boys were innocent, and as the
judge was off the bench Hewitt walked
UP to him and said:
After your outrageous conduct in
holding these boys to the grand jury I
withdraw my offer of support and I will
be against you in your campaign for
the district bench
The words could be heard all over the
court room. Judge Dickinson made for
the bench, Hewitt at the same time
disappearing through the door into the
corridor. The court officer was sent out
to arrest the attorney and he was
brought back and the following parley
ensued:
you will either apologize to this
court right now or go to the work.

After thinking for a few minutes as
to the worlxhouse prospects Attorney
Hewitt answered: II will apologize
for what said in the heat of passion.
Your honor knows that no one has a
higher regard for the amenities due
this court than 1 have, and the remark
made to you was caused by nervous :
ness due to these two clients of mine
being held to the grand jury on such
evidence"
"That will do" remarked the Judge.
"I will accept your apology, but don't
want to hear another word from you in
reference to- this case. This isn't the
first time you have conducted yourself
in this court in a manner that should
call for condemnation"
Hewitt remained silent until after he
left the court room.

1t was evident last evening that this
argument has considerable force, four
colored men who desired to go to work
being convinced that if they took posi-
lions they would soon be discharged.
The colored men had spent their last
money in reaching South st. Paul, and
were given enough by the union TIC

breakfast. Several others were turned
back, not an applicant going to the

the agreement to arbitrate, but Bust
ness Agent Steep says that it will be
in working order early this morning,
and that every legitimate effort will be
made to induce prospective applicants

1t was decided to again send word to
all union men, including those who did
not report for work yesterday morning.
to report for picket duty and remain

VIEWS OF MEN CONCERNED III STRIKE
BANGS DEFENDS COMPANY

So far as the st. Paul plant is
concerned, there certainly was
no. discrimination against the.
union men, although it was i'm
possible to put them all to work
because of the light receipts of
stock. ~
All that We know here is that
shortly after the men went to
work this morning they. again
laid down their tools and left the
plant. Those remaining did so
without any representations or
promises on our part, and those
staying in the plant tonight will
do so on their own motion.
We will continue the policy
that we pursued. after, the first
walkout, and will engage all the
help that we can secure, and if
given the protection to which
we are entitled, will soon have a
sufficient number of workmen to
run the plant at it's full capacity.
If there is trouble, it will be
the making of the strikers. as
we shall only ask that our en-
ployes be given free entrance to
and from the plant.
