Rapid progress is being made by the
sub-contractors in the installation of
the waterworks pipe line In the Royal
Gorge and 1t will easily be completed
within the prescribed time unless de-
layed on account OF having to wait
for the necessary lumber entering in
to the construction Of the conduit,
which has to be brought here from
Oregon. The trench for the pipe line
has advanced three quarters of . mile
down the grade Of the old state ditch
and could be finished in the course
Of the next five or six weeks II there
was nothing to interfere with the
prosecution OF the work.
Some delay. however. has already
been caused by the failure OF the Ore
gon lumber companies to get the ma
terial for the pipe line here on time
and considerable trouble and annoy

source. Mr.. Lumsden. one Of the con-
tractors of the waterworks system,

near the d. & r. g. tracks In Canon
The stores of J. r. Morgan. 8. B. Dyer
and CroEier 4 Rea, on Main street OF
Canon City, were robbed by Madrill In
the one night and he secured . num-
Der Of pistols and large supply OF
ammunition.
When he appeared near Pueblo on
Friday afternoon he wore a couple of
pistols in his belt and carried one in
his hand. He had belt of cartridges
and the officers believe he had his
pockets full of ammunition. Madrill
was sent to the penitentiary from Las
Animas county for a term of five to
seven years for larceny. He Is about
25 years of age. strong and active and
Is said to be a very desperate man
and one who was held in terror by the
Mexicans in Las Animas county who
knew him.
Madrill has discarded his convict's
uniform and wears neat appearing
suit of clothes which he stole in Can
on City. 1t is believed that he is try
ing to make the Mexican border and
that he abandoned the train before
reaching Pueblo in order to avoid ar
rest here. 1t Ia thought he passed
around the city during Friday and
was trying to again make the rail-
road which forced him to pass thru
a thickly settled section. Realizing or
fearing that his appearance would
cause his arrest he determined to
boldly defy the citizens until he
could catch a train and escape.
Oficers believe that had the news
of Madrills appearance been tele-
phoned into Pueblo early in the after
noon he could have been surrounded
and captured. 1t is believed that Ma
drill will now put up a desperate fight
before he surrenders and ohicers are
alarmed in regard to citizens living
in the Fisher section and San Carlos
section as it Is feared Madrill will
commit murder before he is captured
and disarmed. A number of possees
organized by ranchmen have gone in
pursuit Of the exconvict and are
searching the country for him today
for many miles south of Pueblo.-Pu-

Madrin, Escaped
Convict, Frightens
People at Fisher

Desperate and heavily armed with
weapons stolen from . Canon City
hardware store, Louis Madrill. an es-
capped convict from the Canon City
penitenuary. Friday afternoon ap-
peared at ranches near Fisher. seven
miles south of Pueblo on the San Car
Ios road and terrified the neighbor-
hood, driving people into their houses
and threatening the lives OF several
farmers who met him.
The terrified ranchers and their
families could not understand the ap-
pearance of the heavily armed Mexi-
can and his actions, until he held a
rancher up at the point Of a pistol
and after announcing that his name
was Louis Madrill and that he was
the escaped prisoner from Canon,
threatened the lives of any persons
who attempted to arrest him or inter-
fere with his passage across the coun-
try. The ranchman pleaded for his
life and after forcing the rancher to
accompany him for half a mile down
the San Carlos road, Madrill allowed
him to return to his home.
Late Friday afternoon a telephone
call was sent to officers in Pueblo and
about 5 O'Clock Sheriff Fields McMil-
Ian and Walter Predovich left in a
buggy for Fisher to try to effect the
capture Of Madrill. There was no diff
ficulty in tracing Madrill. With bold
defiance he marched across the open
country, defying arrest and forcing
everyone he met to fee for their lives
The officers took up his trail and at
one time we're not more than half an
hour behind Madrill. but darkness
came on and the desperate Mexican
was not overtaken. He was headed to-
ward the Colorado & Southern rail-
road and it Is thought that during the
night he must have succeeded in
catching a train, and nothing has been
heard from him.
Madrill. who is the first prisoner to
escape under Warden lyman. broke
away from the street cleaning gang in
Canon City Thursday morning. He
succeeded In hiding until Thursday
night when he boldly broke into a
number Of stores and dwellings In
Canon City and supplied himself with
money. clothing, arms and ammunit-
ion. A bicycle and a suit Of clothes

PURCHASERS SAVE MONBY

The following from the editorial col
ums Of the. Pueblo Star Journal Il
applicable to every community in the
state of Colorado and = especially
pertinent at this time.
with tho coming Of tne sprins
season the busy mail-orded houses
Of tho East are showing greater &C
tivity than usual in the effort to st-
tract custom from its proper and
natural sphere. which 10 a& the home
or in the vicinity OF the purchaser,
and they ofRer alluring bait for buy
ers.
However, this bait L. not 30 sub
stantial as it is made to appear. and
the men and women who permit
themselves to be beguiled BY 1t are
doing themselves and their commun-
tiles real injury. There in NO saving
in buying by mail. This can easily
be demonstrated by comparing prices
quoted by advertisers in this city and
those offered in the mail order cat
alogues, and when the fact that
everything that is bought by mail
costs more than the quoted price. ow-
ing to freight charges. Is considered.
it may readily be seen that home buy
ing is far more economical.
This was conclusively proved by
the Star-Journal some time ago when
it took prices quoted by its advertis-
ers and the prices Of the mail-order
houses upon the same wares and
showed that money is actually saved
by buying in Pueblo.
Besides, the sending away of money
earned here does this community no
good, but makes for the benefit of
places far remote which possesses
no interest in Pueblo other than OBJ
tanning Pueblo-earned dollars.
Money spent here, however. means
more money in circulation in Pueblo
and greater prosperity in the city,
not only for the merchants. but for
everybody else as we'll. There is no
economy in buying away from home.
1t is less satisfactory and 70 positive
injury to the city"
