of the fate of these prisoners is learned
from few remarks In the records.
Most of them are discharged or ex.

note that such a prisoner died from
fever, another was shot by the guard,
and still another was shot while tryina

still others desperate. Often there Is

of the prisoners taken and their final
disposition. Such good names as Mad.

Whether these records have been

The Red Claims Another Victim,

"A young man was drowned in the Red
river on Sunday about four O'Clock.
His name was Angus McGinnis and he
had been working for Kochendodrfer on
his threshing outfit. McInnis had been
at st. Vincent during the afternoon and
brought over man who was somewhat
the worse for liquor to Pembina. Then
he attempted to return alone in the boat
to the St. Vincent side. A man on the
farther shore saw him coming across.
Later he saw McInnis in the water SWIM
ming and shouting. He watched until
he saw McInnis apparently reach shoal
water so that he could wade. Surprising
him safe, the man on the shore who was
watering his cow, paid no further attent-
ion to him for a minute or two but look
ing that way again he could only see a
hat floating on the water. He mined
lately gave the alarm and as soon as
possible apparatus was gathered and
boats were brought and The body was
soon found W here it. sank, There was
but little current at the place and the
water was SO shoal that ii McInnis, had
been able to staed up, his head would
have been above the water. But the
bottom of the river at that point is com.
posed ola peculiarly soft sticky mud
and 1t is probable that McInnls' feet got
fast in the treacherous stuff and losing
his balance he fell over and drowned.
The victim had letters on his person
which gave the names of his relatives IN
Winnipeg and they were notified by ,tele.
graph. He has a mother, sister and
brother living there. The brother who
is manager of a typewriter establishment
came to this city by Mondays train and
took the body to Winnipeg for burial.

Nearly got Out.

y
The prisoners at the Jail got busy last
Sunday and came near getting loose. In
some manner they had secured a broken
case knife and with it unscrewed the
fastenings of one of the steel plates that
line the outer wall of the Jail Just under
one of the back windows. They had
then loosened the bricks of the wall and
made hole nearly large enough to let a
man through. This was after dark about
six O'Clock and just before the time when
they are usually locked in their cells tor
the night. About this time Tailor John
son, who was about the treasurer's office
heard some noises and thinking some
mischievous boys might e in the base
ment, slipped quietly down the basement
stairs and not finding any one there vert
up the outside stairway and there saw
the lights of the Jail shining through the
hole made by the prisoners. He also
saw the men running away from the hole
to the other side of the cell room. He
went quickly back to the ,reasurer's Of
flee. where the treasurer and auditor still
were, and notified them, and then went
back to guard the hole. In short time
the would-be runaways were inside the
cell room and they are likely to remain
there for keeps after the present expert
ence. There were six OF them to go if
they had had about ten minutes more to
do it in.

Senator McCutnber's Speech.

: The address on political topics given
on Monday night by Senator P. !. Nc
Cumber at the court house was listened
to by large audience, including many
ladies. Though the night was dark and
at toilette 1t was raining still there was
quite representation from the country.
The Senator is well known as an able
and convincing public speaker and his
reputation was enhanced by his very able
address on Monday night.
Rapidly sketchinglthe history 2of the
republican party for the last fifty years as
a preface, then comparing the platforms
of the two parties in the present cam
paign and showing by the omission of
the money plank in the democratic plat
form, and the positive utterances of the
republican platform on the same subject,
that there was no issue there, but rather
square backdown and acquiesence on
the part of the democrats, he then shows
ed by the same comparison that the only
issue left was that Of the tariff, and then
proceeded to discuss that question at
some length in very happy. but argu-,
.mentative and convincing manner, and
ended by an appeal TO the young men
who will cast their first votes this fall, to
begin right. Perhaps one Of the best
criticisms Of the ability Of Senator Nc
Cumber as a public speaker is the fact
that he is able to take.a subject like the
tariff, that deals SO largely in dry Stats
tics and figures, and stlll hold the attent-
ion Of the audience for two or more
hours, without in the meantime attempts
Ing to amuse them with funny stories or
daze them with lofty language and gilt
tering generalities. Pembina audiences
will always BE glad 70 have Senator Nc
cumber sent this way BY the campaisn
committee. 81.
