Frank Choalt, aged % years, one of n
party OF six prisoners being brought to
the territorial penitentiary in Santa Fe,
from Portales. Roosevelt County by Sher-
i'll w. M. Fox and Guards Z. p. Mitchell
and Edward Johnson. made his escape IN
most daring manner Saturday afternoon
by jumping through the window in toilet
room OF a passenger car, while the train
was running at least thirty miles an hour.
He made the break for liberty when the
train was about four miles south of Tex
line on the Fort Worth & Denver road.
Choalts success in getting away was all
the more remarkable because of the fac,
that he was chained together with the rest
OF the prisoners with heavy trace chain
When he went to the toilet room, the rest
Of the prisoners followed as far as the
door. Sheriff Cox. who was taking every
precaution TO avoid escape. considering it
best not to unlock the chain. After Choalt
had gone inside. the officer who was stand
ing near the the door of the car heard the
chain rattle and snap as if it had been
broken. and Immediately made an nvesti-
cation. He found upon entering the toilet
room that Choalt. who is powerfully built
fellow, had sprung the lock on the chain
which had been securely fastened around
his neck and had in that manner liberated
himself from the chain. Officers mme-
diately began pursui, and it is believed
that he will soon be re-captured

SALOON BURGLARY

Sunday morning after I o'clock the sa-
loon of Morgan & Grubbs was burglar
lied, the combination on the safe worked,
the cash ill tapped and the sum of Sis
taken, the thief entering through the win
dow. One quart bottle of Hill & Hill
whiskey was all the goods taken. The
cash drawer contained sSI and the prowl-
er took only sIS of this, leaving the boys a
little to begin business with Monday morn
ing. No clue has been discovered. The
hombre was smooth one, though, to work
that combination and re-lock the safe, and
leave it as though nothing had happened
1t was sometime after the shortage of the
till had been discovered before discovering
the robbery of the safe, as MIR. Grubbs,
who went on duty in the morning, never
thought of the safe until someone called
his attention to the fact the safe might
have been plundered also,

firm of Stephens & Hoover, yesterday gave
DIR. Day some samples OF loco weed, which
the doctor will send to the Department of
Agriculture at Washington, where the
weed will be made the subject of scientific
analysis, with view OF providing some
remedy to avert its disastrous effects upon
horses which eat it. says the Prescott Cou-
rier. 1t is also stated that an expert from
the agricultural department will shortly
arrive in this section to make study OF
the loco plant and its effect upon horses.
When horse gets 'locoed" from eating
this weed his usefulness is practically at
an end. They become affected after eat

THAT ENGLISH TAILOR.
Why He Was Imported by the United

Washington, June 27.--In reply to a
protest from American merchant tall

war department. to bring the uniforms
English standard in the matter of
"smartness, and "jauntiness," on the
ground that it was violation of the
contract labor law, Acting Secretary
oliver says in a letter:
MIR Winters services were not en-
gagged to construct new models for our
uniforms or to make the slightest
change in them. He is only to revise
and modify the patterns by which the
clothing is cut, with the idea of i'm
proving the set of the garments and
introducing into their general appear
ance more dstinctively military effect,
and to make samples of the same, from
his patterns, but according to our es-
tablished specifications.
'"rhese were to be, and, it is under
stood, have been made in London and
shipped to the United States. Mr..
Winters was to send the completed
samples and patterns to this country
and himself to follow In order to per-
sonally make an explanation or give
any instructions to the foreman cut
ter at the Philadelphia depot, neces-
sary to complete understanding of
the patterns and intelligent applica-
ton of them to the uses for which
they were designed.
This explanation and instruction of
the use of the articles made in Lon
don and shipped here is the only serv-

gers have In tow mature 1t will cost
probably 100000 by the time the state

ton that 1t has cost the corporations
$4,000 thus far comes from a source
so direct that 1t must be given every
credence. The money 1t Is learned has
been spent largely under the direction
of Ed Hunter personally. He has
handed it out here and there and has
amount was given to State Binder
Howard Tedford at different times. II
is learned that in one small township
up in the northern part of the state
instructions were given to George
Gallarno, a former democrat from Wa
terloo, and newspaper reporter, to
go the limit" tho he was told at the
OF his carrying the township and his
subsequent failure showed that his In
structor was correct
The amount of the campaign fund
used by Hunter to corrupt the state IN
the interests of Perkins' candidacy has
never been placed by any one at an es-
innate of over 100000. Ex Mayor
John MacVicar estimated the other day
that the fund spent had been about
100000. Others have guessed this
amount I'd lover. The figures coming
from the Perkins headquarters that
$4,000 had been put into the cam
paign by the corporations comes as a
revelation and surprise to everyone.
1t was known that 1t has been poured
out like water in some places but 1t
has never been supposed 1t would
reach $4,000.
But from the same source 1t is learn
ed that the Hunter management is pre-
pairing to make other moves this cam
paign where money will be used If
these plans carry out, the amount will
probably reach 100000 The $4,000
mark was reached some time last
week.
