that institution by way of a tunnel

surrounding walls dug by him from
the carpenter shop. Alfred Woolen,
another dangerous criminal, escaped
with him.
Up to late hour last night nothing
definite had been heard of Bassanella
and Woolen, although, as is usual in
such cases, great many rumors have
come to light.
For long time the warden was of
the opinion that the men had gone
north on two horses they stole from
farmer living five miles east of the
"pen," but development later in the
evening lead to the belief the men
doubled on their tracks and made for
the river where there is the protec-
ton of dense underbrush and timber.
The road is sandy to the Northern
Pacific railroad, whose trains runs
very slow in approaching the Missouri
river bridge, making it possible for
men to get aboard. Many of the
escaped convicts have made their get

Bismarck, N. D., March 16.-In q
pistol duel at dusk Saturday night,
after an all-night chase, the sheriff of
Mclean county shot and killed
Joseph Bassanella, the convicted
murderer who escaped from the peni-
tentiary here. The fatal combat
occurred In Mclean county. A few
hours earlier, Alfred Woolens, the
second escaped convict, was captured
by posse fifteen miles west of Man
dan. In the capture and death SEN
sational manhunt was closed.
When Sheriff Beck confronted him,
Bassanella opened fire at the officer
and his companion. The officers re-
turned the fire and Bassanella fell
after about twenty shots had been
exchanged. He was shot through
the head.
After escaping, Bassanella and his
comrade separated, Bassanella going
north and Woolen west on horse he
had stolen.
Woolen's wound is not serious and
he will soon recover.

ALFALFA HELPS THE SOIL.
Long Roots Carry Humus Deep Down
and Enrich the Land.

AT the Kansas station alfalfa roots
have been traced to a depth OF over
nine feet, while at the Colorado ex-
pertinent station DR.. w. p. Headden
has washed out the roots of an old
alfalfa plant to the depth of nearly
IL feet, says an alfalfa leaflet. Va
rious reports have been made, with
out good authority, of finding alfal-
ia roots at even greater depths. It is
without doubt one of the deepest
roofing plants grown on the farm.
alfalfa will do more for western
agriculture in the next so years than
all the other crops which farmers
may be able to grow in this region.
The soil of western Kansas and of
much of the western plains is usually
rich In the mineral elements of plant
food. but, as stated before, 1t is often
lacking in humus, which becomes es-
pecially noticeable If the land has
been farmed continuously to wheat
for a few years.
BY growing alfalfa 1t Is possible to
increase the supply of humus in the
soil, and the roots of the plants pene-
trating deep into the subsoil dsin-
tegrate and deepen the soil, and al
together greatly improve its texture.
giving it greater capacity to absorb
and hold water. The beneficial eff
feet on the soil of growing alfalfa is
only incidental to the rapid introduc-
tion of the crop throughout the west.
The great value of the crop as a
money maker is the main factor
which is introducing 1t into the ag-
riculture of the central west. Where
alfalfa can be successfully marketed
or fed, no other crop grown in the
west will yield so great a net profit
per acre in a series of years.
