been one Of the jail breakers.
In some manner Young secured saws
and, being machinest by trade. he
easily convinced his companions tina,
he could, with some assistance, effect
the escape of the trio. The plan was
to saw the bars of the cage, in which
the men were confined, and lay in wait
for the jailor in the hallway.
The conspirators could not ag.eo on
the time for making the attempt for
freedom and this led to the frustra.
ton of the plan.
The authorities here are, confident
that the escape of Young from the
penitentiary was not effected without
outside assistance and it is the gen.
eral opinion that all of the details Of
his fight were arranged lar in ad
vance.
During Young's confinement in the
Jail here he talked frequently of the
escapades of Tracy, the Washington
bandit, and once said that if ne ever
got the opportunity he world Lake
Tracy look like 80 cents.

YOUNG KEPT THEM BUSY

Fargo Foum: Private advices from
Bismarck this morning conveyed the
information that John Young, the es-
capped convict, was seen in the brush
on the banks of the Missouri near Bis
marck yesterday by woman and that
a posse has been organized to run
down the desperate. 49,. .....
Considerable interest is manifested
here in Young and since his escape it
has become known that he had
planned a jail delivery while an in
mate of the Cass county Jail. That
the plan, which included the killing of
the jailor, was not carried out was
due to a disagreement between the
prisoners who were to assist Young in
the break for liberty. rs
The story Of the proposed Jail deliv-
cry was told the authorities by one of
the prisoners implicated, man named
Ward. The scheme was first sug-
gested by Young and the credit for ar
ranging all of the details belongs to
him. Besides Ward and Young, a
bootlegger named Kelly was to have

FINE GRAIN FROM BAD WHEAT

with lightweight wheat. While the
advantage is all on the side of the
heavy seed, the above instance shows
what may be done when it is necessary
to use poor seed, provided conditions
are favorable.
The northwest wheat cror of 1878
was a rusted crop, yet that of 1879
was of high quality. 1t is believed
the same will show again and the poor
crop of 1904 is bound to be followed by
a high quality production this season,
when final averages for the three
states are figured up.

Evidence of the good quality of the
northwest wheat that will soon be
moving freely to market is coming to
hand daily, says grain expert. To
day the Cargill company had sample
of fine milling wheat weighing fifty
eight pounds to the bushel from
Browns Valley, Mimi. This was
raised from rusted wheat of last year,
and the seed used weighed only forty
pounds to the bushel. The fact that
this lightweight seed will produce so
comparatively heavy yield is highly
encouraging, as many acres were sown

There are other offenders over the
state and efforts will be made to have
them punished and their business stop

SYNDICATE TO DIG CANAL.

Detroit, Mich, Aug. 24.-Nelson
Thomasson, a vesselman of Chicago,
is authority for the statement that a
syndicate is to be formed to dig a
canal from Au Train on Lake Supe.
rior to Gladstone or Escanaba ON
Lake Michigan.
BY using Whitefish river it is de-
clared only sixteen miles of the total
distance of forty miles between Lake
Superior and Michigan would have to
be dredged.
Such a canal would shorten the
route between Duluth and Chicago by
265 miles and would save upwards of
200 miles Oh the direct route between
Duluth and Buffalo. Moreover, the
dangerous St. Marys river would be
avoided.

BREEN SAYS NEED NOT PAY
Water Consumers should Refuse to
settle at Thirty-hve-Cent Rate
and Take Chances.

Citizens in large numbers are keeping the
city legal department busy answering ques-
tons about the water bills which the COM
pany has been presenting at the IS cent rate
despite the order of the Water board cut
ting it to 20 cents per 1000 gallons. The
uniform response from the department
advises the customer to pay % cents for
every 1000 gallons; to pay no more, and
II the company threatens TO turn on the
water to dare the corporation to do its
worst.
MANY of the persons who come in here
perplexed at what they shall do are poor
and ignorant" said the city attorney.
They have heard a rumor that something
has been done 10 the water rates. They
ana many others who have not even heard
reports to this effect, do not read the news
papers OF keep informed on current news.
They don't understand the matter at all
and It is fair to presume that most of
them pay their bills at the old rate, not
being aware that they do not have 10 do
so.
mo one should allow himself to be bull
dozed into paying for water at water rates
contrary to those ordered by the Water
board"

THREE DoLEFUL HAT STORIES
Yarns About How the Wind Affects
the Headgear of Some Very
Prominent Men.

Three doleful hat stories were told at the
city hall Friday.
Il was coming downtown on a Farnam
street car last night with Jack Philbln,"
said Councilman Huntington. AS the car
whizzed down the hill east OF Twenty
fourth street Jacks new straw hat blew
of and scooted down the aisle Of the car,
which was one of the closed variety. The
back platform was crowded with men, but
that hat seemed to find hole in the solid
phalanx some place and 1t shot through
and out on the pavement. At least we sup
posed It struck the pavement sooner or
later. We could not see. The conductor
didn't get the car stopped until we reached
Twentieth, and then Jack decided to let
his lid rest in peace. II anyone is wearing
nice, new hat that doesn't belong to him,
picked up on Farnam street it's Philbin's"
Huh" said Assistant City Attorney
Herdman, who had listened to the yarn.
That's nothing. Not long ago I went down
here and bought IS Dunlap derby-one
both stylish and respectable. It made me
feel as though I could meet the Russian
and Japanese peace ENJOYS on perfectly
easy terms. Went into a barber shop hung
the hat up. Fifteen minutes after buying
1t had no nice new hat
But you can't keep n good man from
wearing hat. SO l went down to the
same place and got another Just like the
first. Another IS paid out. That night 1
had to see a client downtown. II rained;
also blew and was kery nasty. Tripping
across Farnam street, slipped on a cob
blestone and measured my length on the
paving. When I got back on my feet, wet,
muddy and demoralised, my new hat No 2
had disappeared l never found out where
II went.
Then 1 bought the toughest looking lid
In town for $50 and have Il yet"
You see this hat" asked Councilman
Huntington. Notice It is OF good straw,
but the color of vitrihed paving brick Just
bought 1t and wore II down the street
First the dust blew in great clouds; then
1t rained. l had new looking hat exactly
twenty-seven minutes"
