WOUNDED SEATTLE PRISONER
HAS TO BE STRAPPED TO
HIS COT.
Smashes Head Against Top Of Bed and
Tears Bandase From Wound,
Causing Hemorrhage.

Jack Chesterfield has become a raw
ing maniac from the effects of the
wound that he inflicted upon himself
after ne had blown a hole in his cell
in the King county Jail twelve days
ago with dynamite, is the report that
comes from Seattle. He is so violent
that ne has to be strapped to the bed
to keep him from doing injury to him
self and the guards watching him.
Even when his hands were held tight
ly to the side of the bed ne persisted
in smashing his head against the iron
framework at the mead Of his cot. He
also managed to get his head in such
a position as to rip the bandages from
his wound and to reopen it by rubbing
it against the side of his cot.
Curses His Guards.
All night long, when not under the
influence of opiates, he struggled to
egain the use of his hands. He
cursed Deputy Sheriff Hill, who was
guarding him, and attempted to attack
the nurses when they would come near
him with the opiates that were used
to stupefy him. His exertions caused
a hemorrhage of the wounds in his
head.
1t is now believed that the wounded
man has little chance of recovery. 1t
would not surprise the attending ply
stefan if death would occur within for
ty-eight hours. His condition has
improved somewhat, but it is still
much worse than it was last week.
Causes Sheriff Worry.
AS Chesterfield is kept in a war]
with other patients, there being no
private rooms in the hospital in which
to place him, he is a source of an
noyance to the other sick patients.
Sheriff Smith will hold a consultation
with the doctors to see if he cannot
be removed to the county hospital. 1t
is thought that if he was given an OPP
portunity to move around his condition
might improve. In the ward with the

realizes that ne is being watched and
this angers him so that he becomes

the time.

PREPARING TO ESCAPE
NASHVILLE BURGLARS ABOUT TO
MAKE THEIR GETAWAY
A Number OF Jail Breaking Tools
Found In The Prisoners Cell In
Barton County JAIL

Had it not been for seach through
the prisoners cage, made by Sheriff
Slavens and night officer Harlow, Thurs
day afternoon Says the LamarDemocrat
"a jail delivery would unquestionaby
have been due in "a very short time.
The three crooks who robbed McCune's
store out at Nashville were the geAtry
who were planning to vamoose. Those
three prisoners aud the big Greenfield
negro, Lum Long, we're kept by sheriff
Slavens in the iron cage, while the more
docile and less important prisoners were
| allowed the freedom Of tho corridor. 1t
was the cage that the two officers
searched, and what they found iurtified
the most pronounced suspicious. Stick
ing around the bedding and various
other places Of concealment were four
wooden keys, carefully whitfield after
the model of the keys that lock aud I'M
lock the door leading from the corridor
to the living apartments. Besides this
there were two knives and two pieces Of
steel from which to make saws, The
accuracy with which the wooden keys
were whitfield after the pattern OF the
keys that shut the lock to the outer
door, prove that the prisoners must have
h al good impression Of the key hole.
As none Of the Nashville burglars could
reach this door, the sheriff thinks some
of the prisoners in tho corridor must
have taken piece of soap and taken the
impression for them. One OF the knives
was in the pocket Of one OF the prisoners
while tho other was concealed in a
broom. The knives are ground down
until they are as sharp as razors. How
the crooks got these two knives aud the
! pieces of steel is more or less a mystery-
or rather the identity of the person who
brought them into them is mystery,
for some zone brought them in. The
plan OF the three burglars was evidently
to saw their way out Of the cage some
night, aud then use their false keys up
on the outer door. They seemed very
anxious to have their trial put off until
the September term OF court. This
they must have thought would give
them plenty of time to perfect their
plans Of escape They are evidently old
crooks, as they keep their own counsel,
are never taken of their guard and ans
wer few questions.

BAD WRECK AT KENOMA
TWO MEN WERE INSTANTLY
KILLED.
Caused OF Wreck a Mystery Middle
of the Train Doubles Up And
Lands In a Heap

A freight train was wrecked on the
Frisco railroad near Kenoma northeast
OF this city last Friday afternoon short
ly after noon. Two men whose names
are supposed to have been Jason Glass;
and Geo. Delaine, who were stealirg. a
ride were instantly killed.
Without any warning or any apparent
cause, the train men declare, the whole
central portion OF the train piled up in
to crushed, splintored, miscellaneous
heap.
The wrecked cars were loaded with
lumber and lime, and the contents were
strewn all over the right Of way for
nearly hundred yards. The trainmen
all being either in the rear or the front
OF the train escaped unhurt.
Coroner Alice went immediately 1.-THE
scene of the wreck and held inquests
over the bodies Of the dead men. The
evidence as brought out by the inquest
would indicate that their names were
Jason Gass and George Delaine. The
former was evidently from some point,
probably Mansfield, down in Wright
county; the latter was typical bum.
"Gass was man Of small stature, "
says tho Lamar Democrat, "not over
twenty five years old, He had red hair
and was Of rather Horid or sandy COM
plexion. His remains we're not badly
mangled. His pockets contained a tax
receipt for four dollars, given in Wright
County, u promissory note, dated De
cember LIST 1908, 10 which Marida b.
Hancock and Eli Hunt promised to pay
Jason Gass twenty five dollars upon the
first of next October. Upon the back
Of the note is credit for SO 80, dated
December LIST 1903.
"Besides these there was letter
written in lead pencil, dated May 4th
inst, at Bertha, Missouri, and directed
TO Gass at Mansfield. 1t is evidently a
letter from Gass's sweetheart. 1t is
written in plain, legiblS hand and the
photography is quite good, Its signed,

THE OLD STONE BUILDING
SHORT HISTORY OF AN OLD
LANDMARK
Something About The Old Store
Building At Dublin Which Was
Recently Torn Down.

At the time that the old stone build
purpose Of bringing to Jasper to DO used
in the construction of the new Bayne
building, we thought that sort of q
history Of the old land mark might be
Of interest TO our readers. Accordingly
We engaged Prof Bazzill to procure the
necessary data and write AN article on
the subject. We are pleased to present
the article in this issue:
Away back in the spring Of 1877, Hull
Bros. &jJewett commenced scooping out
the cellar over which was to be built the
large stone structure which has stood
the storms of nearly 40 years, and whose
history is yet incomplete.
The site was purchased of Albert Nett
by E. G. Morlnn, and while tho work
was being done Mr.. Morlan lived in the
house Just north of the store, where Mr.
Walters now lives.
Allen and Ellis took the contract Of
building it, but from some cause Allen
did not work till 1t was finished, but
Ellis, Curr, and Gutfey finished the
stone work, Louis KunkIer, also, did
some of the work, Z. q. Boiling did the
carpenter work and Bill Allison the
plasterins.
The brilding was made of sandstone,
most of which was hauled from the
Rocky Mound quarry about miles
west Of Dublin. Some rocks, however,
were hauled from Blue Rock quarry
miles west of Jasper, and some from Van
Dusen's land in Barton county. 1t cost
10 cents a load to get the stone quarrled,
and from 80 to 90 cents to get them
hauled.
Morlan and Jno Kunkler had been in
the mercantile business from before the
war, 10 the house where Bill Bowers
lives, and had great many "store ac-

counts" out, the most Of which were us
ed to good advantage 10 hauling and
quarrying.
The hard lumber was sawed at
Moody's saw mill mile and half west
OF Boston, The pine lumber, doors and
windows were clipped over the Frisco
from st Louis to Carthage and filed one
car They we're hauled from Carthage
in wagons. This was about four or five
years before the Mo. Pacific was built
to Carthage.
The building cost ABOUT $500 Nor.
Ian moved 10 1878 with about $1,000
stock.
Thus ends brief history Of the con
struction Of a building whose walls, if
they could talk could tell many, many
interesting and thrilling stories.
Except in the way Of repairs no moro
work was done on the old building uu-
til in the winter Of l90i.Oj when Robert
Horton began tearing it down prepare
tory to moving it to Jasper where the
material was to be used in the construc-
ton Of magnificent double stone struc-
ture between ID. W. Teeter's furniture
store and Joyce and Lees ready made
clothing store, where VIM. Bayne's
hardware store was formerly located
Vim Buyne purchased the old building
of Il. C.. Morlan iu the early part OF
January, 1905, through the agency Of r
II Larrick, Of Jasper,
The contract Of tearing down, moving,
and rebuilding was let to G. II Masters,
Of Jasper, who commenced work Febru-
AIRY 18TH. Two teams were employed in
transferring the material to the new site,
and about one third was hauled on sleds
during the time Of the great snow.
Twenty days we're required to move it,
and on the. 18th day Of April, 1905, the
last stone was laid in place on the walls
Of the new building.

with two good sharp blnues.
"The young fellow was dressed in
suit OF blue clothes, nearly new and
neatly brushed. Over the pants of the
suit, he wore pair Of bib oyeralls
His undertaking was OF good quality
and scrupulously clean. He had been
shaved not later than the day before he
was killed.
"The other man Delaine, was mang-
led beyond recognition. His legs were
severed from his body aud his head and
face were crushed beyond recognition.
DR.. \ lice is Of the opinion that he WIS
a man about forty years old. lie was
light compleIioned with light hair, and
Of heavy build. He would probably
have weighed from 100 to POO pounds.
"He had on pair of ovoralIs over a
pair Of dark pants, and wore dark
coat. His clothing was we'll worn. His
underclothing was dirty and he was
evidently typical bum.
"His pockets contained q razor, a
small hand mirror, a rocket comb, two
buttons dime, cheap, circular shap-
cd valentine, packages of cigarette pa
pers, package OF Bull Durham and a
receipt from the Pacific Express Com
pany. This latter showed that Geo.
Delaine had expressed a grip from Mem
phis TO Colorado Springs, to himself,
The grip was estimated to contain goods
to the amount of forty dollars. The
charges, which we're ipaid amounted TO
S2.75. This is tho only clue to the
mans identity The receipt was issued
May 10Th three days before the man
was killed. Then be had picture-a
tintype placed 10 cheap paper cover
/ ing of two women. One Of the women
is apparently about forty years of age,
/ She is rather large and thick set. Tho
other woman is young, probably not
over twenty, and more slender. IL is
the surmise of DR.. Alice, that these wo-
men are the dead mans sisters. There
is no lettering upon the photograph
cover to indicate where it was taken.
"A long black needle OF peculiar shape
evidently made for sewing sacks, COM
pletes the scanty outfit.
The train crew brought the two
bodies 10 Lamar Friday night, aud
they were taken to Hoyt Humphreys.
The remains of Delaine were placed in
a rude coffin and buried in potters
field, Friday afternoon. The remains
of the other man is held,
under the impression that il would be
sent for by bis people. The railroad
men telegraphed news OF his death to
Mansfield and received Instructions to
ship the body to that place.
"The conductor testified that all OF
the cars we're sealed, he was absolutely
sure, unless it was one loaded with
lumber that he took on at Lockwood.
From this the men evidently got on at
that place. The train men testified
that it was an hour from the time they
first found part of Delaine's body un-
til the other half. The real cause OF
the wreck is unknown. The wrecking
crew had the debris cleared away, aud
the track ready for traius by eight
o'clock, Friday evening.
