WILSON IS GONE;
STATE IN SEARCH
PRISONER AT MINOT A BIGGER
CATCH THAN FIRST THOUGHT.
Jailers Were Careless and Gave Oppor-
tunity for Escape of Man Upon
Whom Uncle Sam Would Like to Lay
a Heavy Hand-Wilson Suspected of
Being Postoffice Robber.
Special to The Journal.

Special to, The journal.
Minot, N. D., Sept 4.-Diligent search is
being made by the officials of Ward county for
James Wilson. who escaped from the county
Jail two weeks ago.
Wilson was first arrested on the charge If
vagrancy, and was committed to the city lock-
up for thirty days. While confined there he
assisted Samuel Davis, the noted postoffce rob-
Der, to escape, and for that crime was given
ninety days In the county Jail.
Wilson had served thirty days of his time
and allowed several liberties not accorded
other prisoners, when he made bold and sue
cessful attempt to escape The turnkey was
using his prisoners at odd jobs about the Jail
yard and had sent Wilson for a pail Of water.
AS he approached the corner of the wall he
dropped his pail and ran, escaping from the
city on freight train that night.
Why He Is Wanted.
search after reasonable amount Of time had
been spent. but recent developments in the
postoffice robberies have heightened the desire
Of the officials to recapture him.
1t is believed that he Intimately con-
nected with the series of postoffice robberies
which took place turnout the state previous to
his arrest, and that he could cast light on the
ones which have taken place recently in this
vicinity.
Sheriff Lee notified the latter part Of last
week that man answering to his description
had been detained at Bowbells. but the deputy
found 1t not the desired Wilson.
reward Of 5000 has been offered and every
effort is being made to apprehend him.
Crossing a Mankiller.
1t Is almost certain that the 500 railroad
will be required to take immediate steps to
perfect their street crossings in this city and
provide suitable place for the unloading of
freight.
In three months three men have been killed
on the 500 tracks and several injured, while
runaways and narrow escapes have been almost
innumerable.
The muin track Of the 500 road the one OH
which all of its passenger and freight service
Is handled, runs across the main street of the
city, one block north Of the busiest corner and
across First street, block east of the same
center No gates have been provided or
any system of warning whereby owners Of skit-
fish teams can take the proper precautions.
Fatal Accident at Station.
Three weeks ago ]. L. Gebus of Bainsville
Wis, was killed at the station owing to the
crowded condition Of the passenger platform
which was piled high with freight and baggage!
His brother, j. A. Gebus Of Portal was in the
city last week and stated authorita lively that
suit would be instituted against the company.
The city council will take the initiative step
IN forcing the railroad officials to take notice
OF their demands for gates.

For Dosing Oneself.

A physician recommends rochelle
salts for amateur doctoring. He says
that il is an excellent thing, several
times n day, to take as much of the salts
as may he put on cent in little wa
ter. That will sweeten the stomach
and act as n very desirable spring
medicine. He also speaks highly of
soda, having no patience with those
tlmid people who have an idea that it
is n dangerous dose, doing some vague
harm to the coating Of the intestines,
"Why, everything we eat, almost, has
soda in It." he cried In disdain. ut is
an admirable thing to take half ro-
chelle salts and half bicarbonate of
soda, MS directed several times day.

TRAINING DOGS.
PoodIes the Easiest to Teach, Dachs.
hunds the Most Difficult.

4 poodle Is the easiest OF all TO train,
and the dachshund Is the most difficult,
the latter not because he Is too stupid,
but because he is too smart. A dachs-
hund readily underst9 nds what you
want him TO do, ana ID, can do IL, but
be thinks he knows better way, and
he invariably tries his way first. As
q result, he is never trained In any
thing that is really difficult. a dachs-
hund seems to be always poking fun
at one and getting no little amusement
out OF II for himself. Collies are easily
trained but they are more or less un-
reliable, and they are such flatterers.
They make you think things are all
right and then they run away at the
very first opportunity. In preference
to other dogs, collies are trained al
most exclusively in the militia of VI
emma for carrying, In time Of war, mes
sages and medicine to and from the
camp and the sick soldiers, but they
are chosen more for their speed than
their faithfulness. Fox terriers are
natural acrObats. Within few weeks
one can be trained TO turn n somer-
sault. A few weeks more and he VIII
do double turn. TO teach him to do
this the trainer calls the animal TO him,
and as he comes jumping playfulIy
against the trainer he is caught ana
turned quickly in the air, much to his
surprise. He thinks it Is play, and he
comes jumping up again. After each
turn he Is given a small piece OF meat.
In a few weeks he will run up and try
independently to do the turn over In
the air for the meat, and If he Is en-
couraged It will not be long before he
Is an accomplished acrobat.-Leslie's

Three years after the marriage OF the

Travelling was so difficult that two ne
