girl.
This was done-and successfully. The man

work. He stated that he had
found sufficient evidence at the
pose mortem to show that a
criminal operation had been per-
formed by some one.
The other witnesses told about
the same story that they had
told before, showing that if an
operation had been performed, it
had been done with the consent
OF Miss Eversole. The action
will perhaps be dismissed against
DR.. Hyndman unless he is re-

PRISONERS ESCAPE
FROM COUNTY JAIL
Secure Key and Unlock Cell Door--Die
Through Brick Wall With Iron Bedstead.

Thomas Coleman, Frank Ho-
ward and Sam Pompel]i, three
desperate prisoners escaped from
the Ward county jail at an early
hour Monday morning. Just the
exact time OF the prisoners tax
ing their departure is not known,
though it is said to be not far
from 2 O'Clock.
The men made their escape by
unlocking the door to their cage,
knocking a hole in the brick wall
large enough to pass them thru
to the ground and letting them
selves down q distance OF fifteen
feet with bed blankets tied to-
gether.
The first that Chas. Rollerknew
that the birds had flown the coop
was when he carried the break
fast to the Jail about Z O'Clock
Monday morning. The three
men who occupied the cell in the
west up stairs were missing. The
cage door was found open and
soon the hole in the south of the
building was discovered. The
prisoners had torn their iron bed
to pieces and easily knocked off
the plaster and loosened the brick
with a part Of the bedstead. No
one heard the noise, unless it was
the prisoners, and not one OF
them whimpered.
The Jail delivery had been
planned for weeks Chas. San

succeeded in stealing a key to the

been sent. This threw him OFF

days ago was changed to an east

with the men. He tells the story
of the KEY and the escape Of the
men. He says the key was con-

soap.
Sheriff Lee has Il number of
deputies out over hecounty and
surrounding country looking for
the escaped prisoners. He offers
5000 reward for Jheir detention
in any jail in the United States
or Canada.
A description Of the men has
been sent to all parts OF the North
west. No clue has been found.
The men were not warmly clad.
They had summer suits and but
two OF them had overcoats. 1t
is believed thatsthe men caught
a train out Of the city and if this
is the case, they may be q good

Many believe that the men are
not far from Minot, and that on
account of the extremely cold

they could not have gone very
far.

1T WAS A GOOD MEET

J. r. Ragan is back from his recent
trip TO Chippewa Fall, where he as
sisted in the practical work at an I'M
dertakers' school that was held in
that city for two weeks. The men
are appointed each year from the
undertakers of the state, to assist the
State Board of Health in conducting
this school. J. R. Ragan was chosen
to do the work for the northern part
of the state, and his duty was to assist
DR.. G. A. Harper of the State Board
Of Health.
Aside from the successful meet, Mr..
Ragan said he found that city very
nice and progressive town, with two
daily papers and With large business
center. In regard to the papers,
though, we understand they went to
sleep and got the undertakers' con-
vention confused with teachers
meeting with the result that nothing
was said of the former for two days.
When one paper finally did get it, the
other was so discounted at being
scooped they wouldn't print the story,
Mr.. Ragan said thirty-three candi-
dates took the examination for an
undertaker's certificate. The results
will not be known for couple weeks.

Electric power, gasoline power, steam.
or even wind mills, though they
would not be so satisfactory, could be

would cost considerable money and
could not be installed for number of

do even more next year. and they de-

good work.
