in the meantime sent his wife to
Chas. Cooks place for Mr.. Cook.
Cook came without a gun and
Hockspier realizing that he had
a desperate man to deal with,
sent Cook to the lumber yard for
a revolver. When Cook came,
Coleman was told that he was
under arrest. He said: ''Im
glad OF it. I'm darn near froze."
He was cold. His ear was badly
frozen. Hockspier doctored the
man up.
Howard was caught later by
! Hockspier Just ashe was entering
the hotel. He was searched and
a razor. shoe hook, file and 9th
er things were found in his poe
kets. Coleman confessed that he
and Howard were the escaped
prisoners.
The men had walked from Mi
not. They had slept in Gunder
Reishus' straw pile and burned
it upon leaving it. They walked
to Sawyer III hopes that they
could catch a freight out. They
did notstate where Pompelli, the
third prisoner was, but said that
they would tell if Hockspier
would give them a pint OF whis-
key. Hockspier said he would
give them q whole gallon OF it
and would keep them in tobacco
SO long as they were boarding
with Sheriff Lee. 1t is believed
that Pompelli is in or near Saw
yer and his capture is a question
OF but q short time.
! The men claim that they did
not have q key, but unlocked
the cell with the shoe hook.

They we're brought to Minot
early this morning by Deruty
Sheriff Hockspier and Chas.
Cook. Hockspier claims the re-
ward OF 5000. On the same train
that brought the prisoners, came
@. Dalager, who claims that he
caused the capture of the prison
ers and will claim the 5000 re-
ward. The Independent has been
informed that Hockspier rightly
claims it.
The two men entered Hook
spier's livery barn about !
O'clock Tuesday morning and
crawled down into the hay and
sleptuntil nearly dark that night.
They crawled out OF their nest.
Coleman went to the Hockspier
house and asked for something
to eat. Hockspier noticed that
the fellow wore a hatwith a white
cloth tied around his ears and
noticed that he wore summer
clothing.
The fellow grew suspicious and
asked only for cupofcoffee say
ing that he was in a hurry. He
had a claim near Sawyer he said
and wanted to know where a
man named Williams lived.

WHEAT

The market for Wheat has become
more interesting again by reasons OF
Its wide fluctuations. Not only Is there
better tone to the market. but talk of
poor demands for Wheat and Flour and
large receipts of Wheat at primary
points has disappeared, and attention
Is now being directed to the news that
carries with 1t unmistakable evidence
that the shortage in the last crop was
not overestimated. Foreign markets
also are advancing and getting in line
up of the absence of United States.
Canadian. Australian and possibly
further Russian shipments cannot be
accomplished without material rise
In prices.
Here at home we have a strong SGT
Of conditions that are coming in force
to govern prices. Dealers in Flour
have been prevented from accumulat-
ing supplies by high prices. but they
must soon come in and replenlsh
stocks. Every advance has had back
of it reference to a scarcity OF wheat,
and until such time as these conditions
change It is going to be safe to follow
the buying side. We believe the mar,
ket Is gaining natural strength, ana
would hold some Wheat for a perma-
nent bull campaign when it appears
that country elevators are cleaned up
and the run Of receipts practically over
for the year. AZ is the case at the pres
ont time.

Some Witty Women.

was talking in bis studio about
witty women:
Let me relate a young wom-
ans witticism that l beard of

"There was a man who loved
a maid, and she returned his
passion; but there were reasons
that made secrecy desirable.
and thus, though the two were
betrothed, they pretended TO
the world that they were good
friends and nothing more.
One evening, as the young
man Was pressing his sweet
heart to his breast. her sister
entered the room suddenly.
The lovers drew apart with
Srt at haste and tho sister, with
an Excuse me, turned to go.
But the young man deemed
an explanation necessary. He
said:
Don't go. We have just
been measuring to see which is
the taller"
The intruder. standing by
the doOf, looked at the lovers
intently. Then a delicate smile
fitted over her pretty face, and
she said:

height but Think sister is much
the redder.' New York Trib-
