C0NVlCTS GOT AWAY.
Desperate Men Tunnel Out Of the
Penitentiary.

Desperate Men Tunnel Out Of the
Pententiary.
Joseph Bassanella and Alfred Wool
en-, two prisoners. escaped from the
state penitentiary at Bismarck.
The road is sandy to the Northern
Pacific railroad, whose trains run very
slow In approaching the Missouri river
bridge, making it possible for men to
get aboard. Many of the escaped con-
Vlcts have made their getaway in
this manner in the past.
At one time the guard at the bridge
saw two men sneaking up to the rail
road track as freight train ap-
preached. They were challenged by
the guard and fed under a volley but
made their escape in. the darkness and
brush.
The escape was effected in a most
clever way and 1t Is a mystery how
the men could have dug a tunnel over
thirty-tive feet long and disposed of
the dirt without detection. Consider
able Improvements in the way of sew
ers have been made at the peniten-
tiary and the earth is dug up in many
places, so a little new earth could
have been disposed of without exeit-
ing suspicion.
The men used an iron bar and car
penter's chisel for excavating.
Bassanella was in for life on convic.
ton of murder
In a fight with a sh riffs posse
Bassanella was shot and killed and
Wooden was captured in the brush
bordering the Heart river near Man
dan.

which her little granddaughter passed

granddaughter is still quite Ill and 1t
is not known whether she VIII fecov-

on March 20, 1854, A. E. Bovay's sug-
gestion that the party be named repub-
lican was adopted. The name was
later accepted by all the other wings
of the new party and all were knit to-
gether under one banner The BIRTH
place of the party is rapidly falling a
prey to the elements, but efforts are
being made to preserve it.-Courant.
Ihls paper has always stood for the
rights of the people and against gang
methods, and has supported the men
we thought best qualified to fill the
offices and that is right where we
stand today. We have been identified
with interests Of good government and
of the good government league, but
when few disgruntled politicians get
together for the purpose of dealing
out the offices and adopt the same
tactics as they claim the old gang had
followed, as they did at Grand Forks,
when Marshall attempted to pack the
convention, and in fact did pack it,
we draw the line. We will still stand
by and support the men we believe to
be the test for the offices they seek,
but we do not propose to be whipped
into line and support old time gang
sters simply because they claim to have
the endorsement of meeting purport-
ed to be an "insurgent" convention

Farmers rarely gain by keeping their
grain after it is fit for market, when
shrinkage Is taken into account, says
an exchange. Wheat from the time it
is threshed, will shrink two Quartes
to the bushel or six per cent in six
months, in the most favorable circum-
stances. Hence it follows that "a cents
a bushel for wheat when threshed Is
as good as 81 bushel in the following
February. This estimate is taken on
the basis Of shrinkage alone and not
figuring loss by vermin, dampness or

DuRuRa WHEAT CoNvENTsose
Denounees Discrimination by Eisva.
tors and tMilIers.

Denounces Determination by EisVa.
~ tors and MllIers.
At a durum wheat convention In
Grand Forks Of delegates frona various
commercial clubs Of North Dakota,
resolutions were unanimously adopted
in which 1t was set forth that naillers
and elevators have been unjustly dis.
eliminating against durum wheat in
the matter of price. This discrimina-
ton was denounced In no uncertain
terms, and the opinion was expressed
that the discrimination Is largely due
to the efforts of millers and grain men
outside Of the state to prevent the
grain products from receiving full JUS
tice in the open market.
The continued efforts of the agri-
cultural department of the government
to compel tho proper labelling Of -four,
to show not only the percentage Of
durum wheat used. but the state in
which the wheat was grown, was
urged, and tho action OF Professor E..
F. Ladd. state pure food commission
SSA~AAe ChAo AAAC WdS
His work was declared to be not only
In the interest of the consumer, but
the milling interests Of the state as
we'll
1t was asserted that North Dakota
-four makes the best bread, and the
proper labelling of it will result in
much benefit
Organizations are recommended in
counties where durum wheat is rails ed
in order that the reform may be
brought about.
1t was set forth that the convention
did not wish to discourage the raising
of Scotch fife or Bluestem wheat
where they can be grown 1t merely
wished to get the proper price for
durum.
The efforts Of representatives in
congress to secure the passage of a
grain inspection law were Endorsed,
and they were urged to continue their
efforts in this direction
Several millers who had been invit-
cd to participate in the discussion ad-
Journed their meeting and discussed
the durum wheat proposition. The
North Dakota millers and the durum
wheat advocates were not very far
apart in their beliefs. The millers
blamed interests outside of the state
for debating the price Of durum.
In his address to the convention
Professor Ladd showed by figures
that with a crop of 100000 bushels
of durum wheat North Dakota would
lose about 100000 as a result OF
discrimination by the mi11ers.
J. L. Cashel was elected president of
the association to promote the inter-
ests Of durum wheat, and T. r. Atkin-
son of Bismarck was made secretary
1t was decided to hold the next
meeting at Devils Lake, March II, and
the state grain commission was re-
quested to meet the delegates at that
place.

His VaIuables Were Cached,

M. N. Veste, the Twin City man,
found out that he was mistaken about
his having been robbed In the Column
bia hotel at Grand Forks. A cham
bermaid found Veste's coat and vest,
a note for 800 and $50 in cash stuffed
between the mattresses in the room oc-
cupied by 5Veste. He hid the clothing
and cash after a; trip to East Grand
Forks and in the morning failed to
remember It. His money 4 was re-
turned to him. I'M ri II yEs.y. = r.. .

The Northern Pacifr railroad has
commenced action against all The
farmers who own land between here
and Dublin who live along the line
of the old Northern Pacific survey.
The complaints seem TO have been
fled in October 1907 but have never
been orderd served. The Lewiston
& Southeastern electric line is also
made party defendant to the action,
The object of this action At This tins
seems TO be mystery which no ole
is able to solve. One theory advaf-
|ced is that they are just quieting
title to their old right-of-way SO that
in case Of a disagreement arising
between them and the Nezpeice &
Idaho road they would be IN q posi-
sition 10 parallel the rev road in a
very short time. The view quite
generally held Lewiston is that Il
means he building OF branch line
by the Northern Pacific into Me-
percs early this spring. The move
mens viii be watched With much IN
terest by all in this section Of the
country.
