TWO BREAKS TO
GAIN FREEDOM.
Vags Fooled in Desperate Efforts
to Escape from Off
GERS.

Frank Mcfarland, Charles Owens and
Bert Stone, the Migrants sentenced to
the Workhouse yesterday, made two des-
perate attempts to escape before they
arrived at Camden Place.
AS they were being taken down the
jail elevator in charge of Captain Bur
fleming Of the court detail, Owens and
Stone crowded the captain into one cor
ner, while Mcfarland tried to open the
heavy iron door and dart past Will
liam Clark, the elevator operator. Clark
grabbed Mcfarland and hurled him back
into the corner, while Captain Bnrfen-
ing soon had the other two at his m ercy.
When the door was opened at the base
ment the driver assisted in getting the
men into the iron box of the Maria. -
On the way to the workhouse the men
made another attempt to get away by
springing the door Of the wagon The
several times but failed to make any
impression on the massive lock.
At the workhouse they were kept
close within the cell block and will
probably be given little chance to get
away. The police think they are wanted
for some serious offense in another city
and are anxious to get away before
word can reach Superintendent Doyle.

the state to adopt that policy, it would

FATHER DUNCAN'S
TOWN IN ASHES
Calamity Is Believed to Have Be.
fallen Noted Indian Colony
in Alaska.


Metlakahtla, on the southeastern coast
of Alaska, has probably been destroyed
by fire.
arriving from the north today, report
that the place was burning on the night
of June 26.
Metlakahtla is Father Duncan 3 town
and the most advanced and civilized In
dian community on the American con-
tinent. It is on Annette island at the
extreme southeastern end of the Alas
kan archipelago, and was founded in
conducted very successful missionary
work among the Indians at Port Simp-
son on the Canadian side, owing to &C.
clesiastical and political troubles, mi
grated with his Indians to, United States
ernmenf title for his followers He Hsf to the
island on which their new settlement
was established.
The migration of these Indians, leav-
ing all their possessions, all they had &C
complished in thirty years of advance
ment from the state Of savagery and
even cannibalism, to begin anew was
pathetic in the extreme and affords a
fine illustration of what men will do for
conscience sake and for the sake of lib
erty.
The village contains about 500 inhabi-
tants housed in comfortable frame
houses, many of them two stories in
height surrounding large church built
entirely by Indians, public school, a
girl s school, hospital, and having as
its chief industries salmon canning
plant and sawmill.
Altho they may have lost much Of
their property by fire, the Indians still
have Father Duncan, who is man OF
wonderful resources and who will leac
them thru their troubles successfully.

It is not Mr.. Wallace's purpose to make
any statement contradictory to what the

more than that, Wallace experienced

Mr. Wallace is much hurt that it shoule

his life. Yet I know he will not stanc
idly by and countenance transactions
which would bring diScred1t on the gov.
