FORMER RESIDENT ZOE CITY
YEARNs FOR SIGHT OF PETS.
E. H. Bawer Of Portland, Ore, Wants
to Purchase the Playful Little Ami
mails and Take Them to His Home,
to be Liberated in the Parks Of
Portland.

4 Live squirrels, red, grey or black,
are wanted by e. n. Bawer, 534
Thirty fourth avenue s., and the small
boy who doesn't like to- kill the lit
tie animals, but who makes speciality
of taking them alive can do a profit
able business by selling his catch'
to Mr.. sBawer. At the same time the
small boy, be he anxious to know that
no harm is to come to his pets, may
rest easy, for the squirrels procured
by Mr.. Bawer are to be liberated after
a ride in a passenger train across the
continent. =~.>-,
It is isn't often that a common Min
nesota squirrel has the opportunity of
train ride Of 1000 miles, but Mr..
Bawer stands ready to furnish trans
portation, meals and berths to Port
land, Ore, for all squirrels turned in
to him, to pay a reasonable reinuDera-
contract to liberate the little ami
males at the end of the trips. - Mr.
Bawer, formerly a contractor in Min
neapohs,s now resident Of Portland,
! wants to see his favoite animals run
ming loose in athe parks Of Portland
and he has come to Minneapolis to ac-
colnplish. his object. '1.z::.
( After leaving Minnesota: Mr.. Bawer
Went west, settling in Portland. He
1etc NOuc well Ill b business Way, fDuI
he, occasionally yearns for the asso.
Citations of the Gopher state and he
particularly missed seting squirrels
running wild in Portland parks.
An investigation showed that the only
squirrels in Potland wee to be found
in the big City park, and these were OF
the small rec variety. In vain he
searched for the stately grey and black
SQUIRRELS of his Minnesota boyhood.
| For twelve years Mr.. Bawer has beer
obliged to frequent the Portland parks
without the companionship of his fav
orite pets and he finally decided tt
come to Minneapolis and secure enough
gray and black squirrels to insure thei1
introduction as permanent feature ii
Portland parks. He expected no trouble
in securing all the animals he wanted
but during the last few years the
small boy and the slingshot have beer
busy and altho he has advertised 70,
squirrels and made thoro search O.
the country around Minneapolis he ha.
been unable to secure a sufficient mum
Der to insure the success Of his ven
ture. -
Mr.. Bawcr announces that he vii
stay in, the city until he secures ffty
squirrels and he stands ready to Dur
chase a hundred if that many are of
fered him. -.

But at last Romeo seemed to realize

PRISONER IN COUNTY
JAIL DRINKS POISON
WILLIAM McEWEN, AWAITING
SENTENCE, SEEKS DEATH.
Dissolving Match-heads in Coffee, He
Swallows the Potion Before the Eyes
of the Special Guard, Who Watches
Him in ''Murderer's Cell,'' His
Prison Till His Sentence Monday.

Imprisoned in murderer 8 row in the
county Jail, and under the guard of
specially appointed Waterman, William
McEwen, convicted and waiting SEN
tence for robbery, attempted to commit
suicide early last evening by drinking
sulphur and phosphorus, dissolved from
matches, in his coffee.
A tragedy was averted by the mar
rowcst margin. The Wrlthlngs OF the
prisoner attracted the guard, who sum-
moned help. After working over the
pronounced him out of danger, but he
will be a sick man for some days to
come.
McEwen is a man with record. He
has been implicated in several robberies
In this and other cities. Since his ar
rest here some months ago on charge
of being one of a well-known trio who
held up and robbed Martin V. Shaw on
Fourth street N some time ago, he has
been, watched closely. During his in
generation in the county Jail he had
beside being the ring leader in a recent
daring attempt to break jail, has had
several charges of conspiracy against
him.
McEwen was tried and convicted OF
robbery in the first degree thru the
efforts of County Attorney Al j. Smith,
who has taken personal charge Of the
posecution of these robbery cases.
Early yesterday it became known to
County Attorney Smith and Sheriff
Dreger, thru information furnished
Jailor Ncls Clausen, that McEwen had
formed a plan to assassinate the night
iailor and. failing Of escape himself, to
commit suicide. The officials took up
the matter and searched the jail and
the SUSPECTED prisoner. This search
revealed nothing Of Importance, but the
county attorney decided that the case
warranted special precautions and he
authorized the sheriff to hire guard
and place McEwen in a safe cell.
Before being locked in his new abode
the prisoner was thoroly searched fcr
the second time and nothing left upon
him that could be used to do him bodily
harm. The cunning of the desperate
m2n was equal to the emergency, how
ever, and the few matches left in his
cell were soaked in the coffee brought
him for supper. He drank the poison
guard. ~
Soon after the doctors had appeared,
both Sheriff Dreger and Jailoy Clausen
arrived, having been, hastily SUM-
monCd. The desperate man is now IN
der closer surveillance than ever and
no opportunity will be given him to
harm himself before he is sentenced
MONDAY. by Judge Andrew Holt and
taken to serve his sentence in the state
penitCntiary.
