Sent to Waupun, But
Made His Escape.

Laporte. lnd.-The doors of the In
diana state prison have opened again
to one of the most noted criminals in
the country His real name is Richard
Keegan. but he is best knowa,as big
Bill' Mason.
Mason as w. r. Wright was sent
mp under the old law to serve seven
years. After about three years he
escaped and was finally located at
Cherry Hill Pa. He was given no pos
sible chance after and went out only
at the expiration Of his term
Big Bill' Mason is particularly
well known in Chicago, where was the
scene of many of his exploits. Around
Mike McDonald'S and George Han
kins' gambling houses he was known
as the high roller of faro"
He has pursued all tha branches Of
crime, and while he has been success,
ful in them all he has spent nearly 25
years in prison. So that in the bal.
ance he strikes in his ffty-hfth year
the account is heavily against him.
In the Northneld bank raid. IN which
he participated with the Younger and
James boys, he was the kid" In all
Of Masons arrests he was well pro
yided with bail money and was able
to get the best Of criminal talent at
the bar to fight his cases. II was his
boast that he never pleaded guilty.
After a Wild spectacular career Ma
son appeared in Chicago and made his
headquarters at Dave Thornton

and ostensibly bis business was to
make a show Of T. by buying drinks

Meanwhile he was playing faro in
McDonald's place, and occasionally in
Hankins' place across the street. He
was gen rally a winner and was accus-
toned to leave sum CT money in
Thornton's to the credit OF fellows who
were down and ont Usually il was,
he said, 10 per cent. OF his winnings.

favorlte English Rotation Crop That
Is Worth Trying Here.

The horse bean is not market
crop, It is therefore not a money, nor
even a direct paying crop, at present
in Scotland, England (KenO, Holland
or Germany, simply because there Is
no demand for t.
However, as a grand rotation crop,
its value is not enough appreciated,
because it stands a very heavy appli-
cation of fresh tung without laying
down. II is a first-class crop to pre-
cede a summer or winter grain (wheat
or barley, and is especially valuable
IN making new pastures or hay lands,
Further, it leaves the soil in an almost
ideal physical oondition-moist,f free OF
weeds. mellow, loose-and its prod
ucts are valuable as a feed.
The horse bean is a slow grower,
and needs 81 to 2S weeks generally

root system. II therefore requires a

ALAMEDA
ARRIVED A
DAY LATE
OCEANIC LINER SHOULD HAVE
ARRIVED YESTERDAY FROM
HONOLULU.

The s. S. Alameda arrived a day be-
hind time in San Francisco from Homo
lulu this morning. She was due yes
terday. 1t had been expected that she
would make San Francisco without any
delay for she is generally very pune
tual in keeping schedule. Some thing
occurred however to delay her. She
may have had trouble Of some char
acter with her engines or else may
have encountered rough weather.
The Mongolia arrived at San Fran
cisco yesterday in about nine days
from Honolulu. The Alameda took
days in which to make the trip. The
Mongolia left Honolulu on September
80 and the Alameda on October g. The
fact that the Mongolia arrived a day
ahead of the Alameda would indicate
that the Pacific Mail liner did not meet
with any rough weather, so the Ala
media is not apt to have done so.
