GARDNER BROKE JAIL
Found Weak Spot i'll the Wall Be-
tween Engine Room and Jail
and Skipped Out.

Charles w. Gardner did not enjoy
ms freedom any great length of time
after escaping from the Dawson coun-
ty Jail Sunday night. He was cap
tured several hours after making his
escape and is again in jail.
Undoubtedly Gardner had heard
of the escapes that had been made
before through the ineffectiveness of
the walls between the Jail room and
the engine room He started an in
yestigation along that line and find
ing the weakness where the steam
pipe passed through the wall from
the engine room to the Jail room,
took advantage of the opportunity to
gain his freedom. He discovered
that he could pry a stone loose
around the steam pipe and then it
was an easy matter to push out
enough other stones to get into the
engine ROOM, and then pass out
through the cellarway.
Sheriff Plotner and his assistants
were busy at the time in trying tic
calm an insane woman on the second
floor of the building and had no idea
of what was going on in the ballroom
until they finished their labors and
vent down there. The other pris-
oners told the sheriff of what had
happened. He started a number OF
men in pursuit of Gardner, the posse
being mounted on horses. The snow
that had fallen during the day and
evening made it possible to follow
Gardner, and while the party separat.
ed to scour the country in different
directions, T. L. White found Gard.

He brought the prisoner back tt

Gardner was arrested recently IL
Kansas on the charge of leaving the
country with mortgaged property
and was bound over to the April
term of circuit court.
Some day, doubtless, the jail will
be made secure from such outbreaks
but just how soon it is not possible

the SENIORS ARE CHAMPS
AS Il Result of the Series of Basket
ball Games the Seniors Won
Championship of School.

AS the result of the basket ball
evening the seniors are now the un-
disputed champions of the high
school, having Won from the juniors
by the score of 10 to 13. A large
and enthusiastic crowd was at the
auditorium to witness the last of the
series which also proved to be the
best. The championship game was
fast and snappy, the boys making
less fouls and more effective plays
throughout. The teams were very
evenly matched. The senior team
was composed of Belts, Tingle, Stor-
err, Wiltse and Hofstetter II the
junior, of Glen Rowley, Smith, Vas
sar, Medley. and Doyle. The best
feature of the evening was the way
each team was supported by its
class.

spirited but it showed great improve
ment in form from that of the first
of the season.
At the close of the class games the
high school first team played the
business mems team defeating them
6 to 2. This vas somewhat of a
surprise but shows what the boys
can accomplish with sufficient prac-
tice. AS the result of these games
the debt of the athletic association
has been materially decreased with
the expectation that the high school
track team will be able to take up
! spring work unhampered by lack of
funds. There is some PROBABILITY
of Sioux Falls playing the local team
at basket ball here in the near future.
If they do, Mitchell on her home
grounds is on a fair way to reverse
the score made at Sioux Falls last
| Saturday. !.

PURE SEED SPECIAL TRAIN
The Milwaukee and Northwestern
Roads are Running Seed Specials
and Will Stop Here.

The Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
and the Chicago & Northwestern
railroads have placed a train at the
service of A. p. Chamberlain, the
superintendent Of farmers institutes
II the gentlemen are covering the
entire territory of these two roads in
spreading the gospel of pure seed for
the farmers Of the state. 1t is a
great thing for the farmers that the
railroads are doing at the present
time, and gives them an opportunity
to secure some direct information on
matters that will result in larger
and better crops on the farm.
The Republican received a letter
from Superintendent Chamberlain
stating that the seed special. train
would come to Mitchell for one of its
stops in this section of the state. The
train will come in from the north on
Thursday, March IS, stopping at
W%oonsocket at 1850 p. m, making a
stop at Letcher at 6:O5 p. m. and
, reach Mitchell at 8 o'clock for an
/ evening meeting. At Woonsocket and
Letcher the train will remain for one
hour.
The farmers in this section should
paste this date in their hat and make
it a point to be in attendance at the
meeting. The train will make a stop
at Ethan Friday morning, March 10,
at 1920 o'clock.
Two very capable lecturers will be
on the train in the persons of Prof.
p. G. Holden, the wonderful corn ex-
pert of Iowa, and Prof. Willis, of the
Brookings agricultural college. These
two gentlemen are learned in the art
of pure seed and the information they
will give will be worth coming some
distance to secure. Prof. Holden has
practically revolutioniZed the growth
of corn wherever his methods have
been adopted.

LAND OFFICE SURPRISE
Efforts Were Made to Dislodg,
Messrs. Burns and Bryan From
Their Government Positions.

There was considerable excitement
in political circles Saturday night
when it vas learned that an effort
had been made to retire T. G.. Burns
as register and j. G. Bryan as re-
ceiver Of the United States land
office.
The move was started by a certain
element of the insurgent faction of
the republican party who wanted to
land the two positions for their in
innate and political friends.
Register Burns received an init
nation early in the week that his
presence was needed in Washington
and he left Tuesday evening. Satur-
day the information commenced to
filter back this way that there was
a possibility of a change in the land
Office officials. In the evening the
information was partially confirmed
when it was learned that Mr.. Burns
was appointed register for the Greg
DRY land Office and was confirmed,
while Mr.. Bryan was not appointed.
In his place Olive C. Kippinback, of
IIighmore, vas appointed receiver
and was confirmed.
1t is evident that this element of
the insurgent faction knew of the
necessity for the officials to be re-
appointed when the Mitchell land
Office was removed to Gregory, and
in this way they ~endeavored to land
their friends in both places. The
move was discovered in time, how
ever, to checkmate a part of it and
Register Burns was retained. Messrs.
Burns and Bryan were appointed
nearly a year ago by President Roose-
welt to their positions and they We're
confirmed, these two appointments
being q part of the division of the
patronage between Senator kittredge
and Senator Gamble.
when t2e order was received from
/ Washington changing the Mitchell
land office to Gregory, the suppose
tion was Thai the appointments of
President Roosevelt would stand
the further supposition was that a
new land office was not established
but that an old one was simply trans
ferred to another point. There was
no thought on the part of Messrs
Burns and Bryan that they were in
the least danger of being retired OF
that it was necessary to again be con.
frmed after an appointment. The
y information came like thunder from
