singular that woman should ride the
brakebeams, arrested her and she was

trace of her had been found.
Mrs. Walsh sill exhi.i its the scar
where sae struck on the side Of her
he'd when she made her memorable leap
from the moving train. She has suffered
many privations since then, az her story
and appearance vii vel a.tes.. After
leaping from the train she crawled into
the brush, dazed and Iris ID. She slept
few hours and then feeling somewhat
better she started to walk and kept
walking all night, arriving the next
morni. in Wells, abo~t tive ty m les

cape fro mthe train. Since then she has

Fourth Of July. She was max ng her
way back to the freight va ds when
discovered by Deputy Sheriff Miller.
She was asked at the urt house
why she came west instead Of going
east after leaping from the train when
she knew that she wss wanted in the
west more particularly than in the east.
She replied that she came W st under
the delrsion that she was going east.
The fall from the train dazed her and
that followed by her sleep c-used her
to lose all sense Of direction.

several promised to do all within their
power to see that she was thoroughly
examined when she was again placed in
the asylum, 80 that if mistake had
been made in committing her to the asy-

At $3.50 Wednesday night, wandering
alone and bareheaded in the sand hills
south Of town, Deputy Sheriff c. N.
Muller discovered Mrs. Annie Walsh,
the noted asylum escape. A complaint
had gone in to sheriff headquarters that
drunken Indians were carousing 1t their
camps south Of town, and Deputy Sher.
IL Muller set out Immediately for the
scene Of the disturbances. On his way
to the camps, about half q mile from
town, ~ he rode along in the moonlight
he saw . figure in female attire in tns
road ahead.
He went up to the woman and ques.
toned her. She claimed she had broth
er, by the name Of McGinnis working on
the railroad and that she was here vis-
iting him. Immediately there arose a
suspicion in the deputy sheriff's mind
that something was wrong. The woman
carried bottle under her arm. She wore
a faded MsIntosh and her hair was in
gnarled confusion.
The officer began to question her and
the cvasive answers received in reply
strengthened his suspicious. He decided
to investigate and ordered her to ac-
company him back to town to the home
Of McGinnis, whom the woman claimed
was her brother. On the way back the
woman tried to escape by dodging in a
by-path. She was deferred and instead of
making for the home of McGinnis the
deputy sheriff decided to bring his
strange companion to the court house.
Soon after arrival at the court house
Mrs. Walsh, amid tears and lamenta.
tions admitted her identity. DR.. Gibson
of the Nevada asylum was at once no.
tilted and he responded that some one
would come for Mrs. Walsh by next
train.
g Mss. Walah Mas searched at the court
house by Mrs. Chris Delhi. On her per.
SON was found nothing but an old white
hat which she had concealed in her
bosom.
All day yesterday prominent officials
OF the county visited Mrs. Walsh. To
them she stated her troubles and told
OF her experiences since her escape
from the asylum ON the goth Of last
August.
After making her escape in August
Mrs. Walsh finally reached Washington
D. G., where she says she made several
Intellectual attempts to obtain employ
ment. Failing in this sne decided te
leave Washington and having no money
she was blged to beat her way on the
trains. Accordingly she craw]cd on the
brakebeams beneath freight car, but
she was detected in the act by police

The Fourth Of July celebration this
year at Lovelock will 60 down a. one
or the most successful and interesting
celebrations in the history Of our sister
town. Elaborate preparations had been
made for the event and were carried out
in every detail, with no accidents to
mar the pleasure Of the day and no rain
to dampen the spirits Of the large throng
present
The usual anvil salute 1T sunrise her.
aided the coming Of the great day and In
very short time the streets began to
FL with people and the air to reverbrate
with the sound Of exploding frecrackers.
The Lovelock citizens had worked hard
during the night and during the previ-
Gus days and the town presented very
festive appe arance as the sun rose high
er and shone upon the wealth of bunting
and the many flags. By 10 o'clock nearly
all Of the crowd had arrived and in such
numbers that the streets were fairly
congested and left but little space for
the parade scheduled to occur at that
hour.
A Splendid Parade.
The grand industrial parade, for
which the most careful preparations had
been made, began to form promptly at
the appointed hour. 1t was headed by
the Lovelock band in full regalia and as
they took up the strains of martial
air the cavalcade wheeled into line and
as it pass d up the street ordinations
of pleasure and wonder were heard on
all sides. After the band came the float
containing the Goddess Of Liberty, Miss
Portie Hugh, very beautiful in her taste
full gown and surrounded by her maids,
also in regal state.
The Goddess of Liberty was followed
by an automobile fitted up to represent
a boat, and so novel and natural was
the representation that the committee
appointed to award the prizes for the
best arranged floats gave L. NJ. Mark
er, the owner of the auto boat, first
prize, with hut very little hesitation. The
Owl restaurant float followed next in or
der and was well arranged, descriptive
of a scene in the restaurant. F. A. Pres
ton and his float, descriptive Of the
Lovelock meat market, with a myriad
of sausages in evidence, followed and
was deemed worthy of the second prize.
Three little girls in q wee wagon
drawn by two Shetland ponies, were
next in order and elected much ap-
plause. The float Of the Union Transfer
Company and a number Of ladies on
horseback completed the parade, and the
exercises in the grove next received at
tention.
Fitting Exercises.
The exercises held in the grove about
noon consisted of the usual patriotic
songs, music and speeches. The Lovelock
band furnished the music and large
vocal chorus furnished the songs. The
address Of the day was delivered by the
Hon. e. A. Ducker, Humboldt 3 district
attorney, and was a masterful speech
dealing on patriotism and its kindred
phases.

a party of hunters arriving from Elk
county, brought in an account of the
death of John Dicht, Is years old, who
was killed by bear Saturday. Dicht
had shot the bear and had attempted
to bleed it, thinking it dead. The ami
NAL, however, was apparently only
stunned, for it arose from the ground
and showed fight. In the struggle the
bear tore off one Of the young mans
arms and disemboweled him.
From Tidoute in Warren county, a
thrilling encounter with large black
bear was reported, in which the hunter
narrowly escaped. Henry Bradley,
who is connected with the Westlng-
house Electric Co., while hunting, shot
bear in the flank Maddened by the
pain the bear rushed toward the hunt

him, five shots taking effect, but only
tending to increase its fury Just as

in South Dakota by Col. S. Fl. Jumper,
the inventor Of the card system Of
fixing the price. In North Dakota the
official distributor of the reports is a
Fargo man named Oscar NJ. Guptill
He testified at the hearing in Duluth
yesterday and dropped several hints
of the hearing at Minneapolis which
gave The Telegram a clue to this
story. The information and cards sent
out by Hoskins and Durant go directly
to Guptill and Jumper. They dis
tribute the cards to but one elevator In
a locality which gives the report to the
rest.
Heffelfinger Admits II.
While 1t is claimed that the infor-
nation in these reports need not
necessarily be used by the elevators,
It is fact that they do so except
where an independent house inter-
feres. Mr.. Heffeifnger admitted as
much on the stand. The farmers
know 1t to be a fact
The attitude of the commission to-
ward this combine Is of course not
known, but it is expected that the re-
port to congress will have something
not altogether flattering to say of
those connected with the arrangement
A Buffalo grain man who heard the
testimony said that the agreement
would result in an unfair profit OF
from s2,0OO.ooO to s2.5Oo.Oo0 per year
for Minneapolis.
Published in January.
The report WIN probably not be pub
lished until the latter part OF Janu-
airy. 1907. The newspapers interested

clusion by dismissing the witnesses
and leaving for the east.
The hearing resulted in bringing very
few new points to light in connection
with the Superior Duluth grain con-
troversy. but 1t brought out the real

mission in the northwest. This in-
formation is now part of the record
of the hearing, thanks to the relentless
and thorough work of Attorneys Mar
BILE and Mckenzie for the commission.
Hitherto the facts have not been pub

clusively prints the story of the real
result Of the investigation.
Suppressed In Minneapolis.
The account did not appear In the

the hearing there, the facts having
evidently been suppressed. The rec

2 1-2 cents per bushel to the central
Office. Hoskins later awarded this for
felt money to the elevators which did
not get their share of the business.
Prices Fixed.
The price to be paid was fixed daily
by the reports sent out by Hoskins.
He figured on the Minneapolis market
quotations minus the railroad freight
rate and 8 cents commission. These
reports We're not in the form of quo
tations but were sent out as bids. The
arrangement amounted to the same
thing, however, as absolutely fixing
the price.
All this machinery was working
prior to January, 1906, according to the
witnesses examined. They testified,
however, that since that time there
has been no ironclad contract in re-
gard to the division of business and
stated that the bids fixed in the re-
ports Of Hoslxins need not necessarily
be followed.
Farmers Say He's Still Working.
Il Is understood that farmers told
Attorneys Marble and Mckenzie that
the line elevator bids were all the
same, in spite of the fact that the
elevators claimed to pay no particular
attention to the Hoskins reports. The
only time that there is difference
is when an independent elevator or
farmers elevator Is In the field. These
honses will always be found paying
about 2 cents per bushel more than
the allied line concerns.
Machinery Still Exists.
The machinery OF the old combine
still exists as Ia the days when the
combine reigned supreme.
