ALMOST BRAINS ANOTH Err
CONVICT AT OREGON
PENITENTIARY
Both Conviets Are Serving Life
Sentence for Murder-Is Struck
on the Head With a Dull
Axe-O.her News.

Salem, April 30.-Addison Kidd
struck Lewis Warren over the head
with an axe at the state prison this
morning. Both men are convicts..
Though his skull is badly fractured
it is believed that Warren will re-
cover, for he did not lose con-
sciousness. It is believed that
the act was committed in a fit Of
temporary insanity. Both meu are
serving life sentences for murder.
About II o'clock this forenoon q
plumber Of convicts were gathering
in the laundry building, in the rear
Of the prison, Kidd and Warren a.
mong them. Warren was seated on
low stool when Kidd entered, and
half dozen other convicts were
standing around. Without saying
a word or giving any warning of his
intentions, Kidd picked up al axe
that lay near the door, and lifting
it above his head, brought the
blade down upon the head Of War
rem. The axe was dull and was not
given heavy swing or it would
have split Warren's head wide
open.
In an instant John McMahap,
also a life-timer, sprang upon Kidd
to subdue him. Though McMahan
is regarded as the most powerful
man in the prison, Kidd swung
him around like child and would
have broken loose but for the
prompt assistance of the other con-
victs, who also grappled with Kidd.
1t was all that six men could do
to hold Kidd and tie his hands and
feet with ropes. He was carried to
a cell and locked up.
To all appearance he is in his u
sual mind except that he talks
rather incoherently. He disclaims
all knowledge of any injury that
has been done to Warren.
Kidd was received at the prison
in February, 1902, from Wasco
county. He placed an obstruction
on the railroad track, thus derailing
q train and causing a de ath, for
which he was convicted of murder
in the second degree and sentenced
to life imprisonment Until a year
ago he was sullen and stubborn,
though committing no serious in
fractions of the rules. During the
last year he has been quiet and O.
bedient,, the change being SO pro-
nounced as to be remarked by pris-
on officials. Recently he has talk.
ed with Superintendent ames about
the possibility of his release, aud
broached the subject this morning,
wh-n he seemed in his usual men
tai condition.
| mes Warren was received al
the prison in January, 1901, on q
con viction OF murder committed or
b. AID ship lying in Portland har.
Dor. He and Kidd have been the
bet of friends since they have been
tog ether In prison and no reason
car. be assigned by either Warren
or the prison officials why Kidd
should attempt to take his life.

My wife she made me almost mad
She did not want on the farm to stay
She wanted to sell 1t and move away
So listed it for more than year
And still found myself right here.
The agents they took my place in hand
They were so sure they could sell the land
sometimes think they did not try
For they never brought a man to buy.
They gave a wink with knowing smile
And 'r1ed to fool me all the while.
With that knowing smile and wink
Thsy could not fool me don'tyou think

So listed it with White & Stone

They deal with you as man with man.

And they are not afraid to advertise

All Europe Preparing For War; There Wild Ruors Flying Today

Madrid, Spain, Feb. 20.-Two regi-
ments of infantry at San Sebastian
and two at Pampeluna are held in
readiness to start for Balearic ISL
ands. The war minister has also
sent a circular to the military auth
critics ordering the recall of all sol
diers on furlOugh and to retain men
whose term of service terminates
soon. These orders have caused con-
siderable excitement which was not
diminished by rumors that this mill
tary activity was due to a warning
from the European powers to the ef-
feet that in the event of a continen-
tai war Great Britain intended to
seize certain points on the Spanish
coast.

Before sending the pupils work
to st. Louis, arrangements Will be
made to let the people of Roswell
see what has been prepared.
Next Monday, February 22nd, the
COLLECTION will be shown in one fthe
rooms of the Central building. Some
one will be in the room all day
to show visitors the work. Certain
features of the exhibit can not be
shown until the whole work is set
up at the Exposition. To save freight
the cabinets, book cases and show
cases will be provided at ST. Louis
All the drawings, pictures, and map
work will be mounted in these
frames at ST. Louis. The book COM
rect to ST. Louis for the cases there.
The books used in the twelve grades
will be on exhibition to show what
training the pupils have had during
their school life here.
A booklet will be printed, show
ing the history and progress OF the
schools. This booklet will be Axe
inches. and will contain about fifteen
pages. If the Chamber of Commerce
desires, portion of this book may
be used to show the resources and
the business interests of the Pecos
Valley, and especially of Roswell.
This can be done at a small cost if
arranged during next week.
There have been many questions
about the length of the school ses-
sion There are many reasons for be-
lieving that the schools will continue
the usual nine months. We are lit
tie short of funds at present, but the
June apportionment will more than
ey to begin the next session. The
finance committee investigated the
situation, and after making allow
ances for all expenses and failures
TO paw taxes, came to the above con-
clusion. 1t is true the present Board
will go out of Office in April yet,
no school board elected by Roswell
citizens will suffer teachers to go
unpaid for services rendered. 1t is
the opinion that the April Board
will make arrangements to complete
the nine months session. since the
June apportionment will be ample
to satisfy all claims. Roswell can
not afford to have her school term
cit short. The schools are in good
condition. and the progress of the
majority of the pupils is beautiful.
Everything has settled down to
good. faithful work. Some one has
trnthfnlly said: "There is no town
the size of Roswell that can boast
of a system of schools like unto that
of our own Visit the schools and
encourage the teachers in their good
work.
