TWO PRISONERS ESCAPE
FROM COUNTY JAIL
JUST SLIPPED OUT WHILE
GUARDS BACK WAS TURNED
At NOON YESTERDAY.

Out at the Bernalillo county Jail
there is a guard who is still wonder
ing how it happened that John Hol-
land, forger, and VIII Hardin, ne
gro, notorious petty thief, neatly es-
capped from the institution almost
under his very nose, Sunday. Will
Hardin enjoys the sobriquet Of

serve sixty days in Jail for stealing.

small coins from Grandma" Judd,
an aged negress who earns a scant
living by washing clothes, He was
sentenced on December "a last
Hardin was about to finish term
for forgery. The term would have
expired tomorrow. About three
months ago he forged check at the
Savoy hotel.
Hardin and Holland did the cook
ing at the Jail They set the table
yesterday and while the guards back
was turned they slipped to the out
side gate, which was unlatchei, pass
ed through and disappeared. The
guard did not get so much as a
glimpse of either of them. He does
not even know which way they went.
Later.-It was learned this morn
ing that whisky Bill'' swiped a sun
of money that had been taken from
some of the other prisoners in the
Jail. 1t was lying i'm an accessible
place and the negro converted it 20
his own use before he departed.
This afternoon it was announced in
the sheriff's office at the Bernalillo
county court house, that "Whiskey
Bill" had been recaptured by Nick
Sabedra, IA deputy jailor, in a Third
street saloon. Bill made no attempt
to resist arrest and declared he had
left the jail to get a drink. 1t was
denied at the sheriff's office that the
negro took any money with him.
No attempt has been made to ap-
prehend Hardin, who would have
finished his sentence tomorrow.
The fact that he made his escape
with "Whiskey Bill" a trusty, is re-
garded as significant and that no
attempt is being made to get Hardin
who is just as guilty of escaping as
though he had 100 years to serve, is
causing considerable comment.

FREIGHT RATES FROM EAST.

Spokane. Wash, Jan. 14.-A battio
over freight rates. which may affect
wholesale centers all over the nation,
began at the court house here this
morning before Interstate Commerce
Commissioners Chas. A. Prouty and

city of Spokane, the chamber of COM

through rates from the east to the
Pacific coast, plus return rate from
the coast to Spokane.
The hearing is expected to last twu
days, and may be followed by supple

AS, was state senator for one term.
1t is News ambition TO be a United
States senator. He has served his
party in almost every other capacity.
The families of neither man take
part in what is known as swell So
cfety. Mrs. Taggart and Mrs New
are home women. They are content
to be good housewives
Both Taggart and New keep a firm
grip on politics in their home pre-
cincts. They devote the same close
attention to precinct affairs as they
do to national politics.
Each is a perfect type of the model
American business man. Neither
could be given an Office that would
yield them more profit than their
businesses investments are earning.
They are each worth probably a ha,f
million dollars.

Dallas, Texas, Jan. II There is
probably not a prominent man before
the public today who has such
double as has VIM. Jennings Bryan
in the person of Charles K Wolf,
whiskey drummer of Dallas. Tex.
Wolf has travelled from one end
of the country to the other and has
had an abundance of amusement as
a result of the striking resemblance
between himself and the distinguish
ed Nebraskan. Upon entering hotels
he is frequently greeted as "Mr.
Bryan" Newspaper reporters OF
many cities have mistaken his real
identity. Effusive politicians of many
states have gathered around him and
made inquiry as to the market value
of silver and the conditions of crops
in Nebraska.
Wolf is a good mixer, hale fellow
we'll met. and seems to enjoy the
fun as much as anyone. On one oc-
casion while in New York, man ad-
dressed him and said that he had
just made a wager which he wanted
Wolf to decide. The bet was that
Wolf was Bryan. Wolf replied
| smilingly: you win" II knew 1t,
said the other 1T was a shame to
| take the money, but the other fellow
| forced 1t on me. The reason L was
so positive was because 1 was for
| merly connected with the detective
department of st. Louis, and was as
signed, with several other plain
| clothes men, to guard you from any
| injury from cranks during the con-
| vention. 1 was near you all the time
| for several days"
| Wolf is a gold standard republi-
can, but he has been frequently
| pressed to make democratic speeches
from the rear platform of trains and
| in public places.
