DESPERATE CRIMINAL
IS STILL AT LIBERTY
SURROUNDED BY POSSE. BUT
MAKES ESCAPE
Searching Parties Twice Exchange
Shots with A. N. Rice, but
He Eludes capture-May
Be Wounded
Lsnecial to The Herald.l

SAN BERNARDINO, July 2S.-Ac-
cording to late advices today from
Needles A. Nj. Rice, a desperate Grim
inal who made his escape from a Santa
Fe train at a small station nine miles
west of the desert city, is still at large
and although an armed posse and In
dian trailers are searching the river
bottom, his hiding place cannot be To-
Gated.
While the train was stalled by a
washout Rice managed to secure the
keys to his leg irons and also a gun
from one of the deputy sheriffs who
are taking him to San Francisco, and
made his escape from the car
The escaped prisoner was tracked in
to the river bottoms by one of the In
dian trailers, who made a desperate
attempt to place the man under az
rest. In a pistol duel which followed
the meeting OF the Indian officer and
Rice the former was dangerously in
jured in the arm. Rice was again
encountered by the posse and a number
of shots exchanged.

NAV Be Wounded

It is believed that although he has
evaded the posse of officers, Rice is
still hiding in the river bottom, and 1t
is possible that he might have been
dangerously wounded by the shots
which were fired at him. Deputy
Sheriffs Acuna and Boteroff of this
county are assisting in the man hunt.
During the night last night the posse
had the escape entirely cut off but at
daybreak he was unable to be found.
Sheriff Romero of New Mexico and
Deputy Williams had charge of the
criminal who is wanted for the theft
of a time check, cashing it in San
Francisco. Williams has wired his res
ignation to Albuquerque.
1t is thought by the officers that
Rice will be forced to surrender
through lack of food.

The LOCOMOTIVE Died
Iron Horse Seems to Have Had Hard
Time on obsron Braneh--Due to
F H. Poor Water.

Sheyenne Star: Mondays passen-
ger train from the north was thirty
five minutes late-bwing to the sud-
den death of the locomotive on the
Oberon branch which makes connec-
ton with the trains on the Leeds
branch. The locomotive mortality be-
tween Oberon and Esmond has caus-
ed Superintendent Burt many sleep
less nights, anxious days, and fruit
less trips with his private car. Two
years ago last winter five engines
"died" on the road, two attempted
suicide and were sent to jamestown,
and another was canned" for leaving
the track in Pendennis cut and at
tempting to climb the embanlkment.
1t has been intimated that the cause
for this mortality of the iron horse
was the excessive use of slough water
and bad whisky, but for the past year
the drug stores on that line have
been selling nothing stronger than
seidlitz powders, Paine's Celery Com
pound (40 per cent?, and an OCCASION
al maverick from the twin cities.
Some of the wideawake patrons OF
the branch are thinking seriously OF
returning to the old time ex-team
mode OF travel--a little longer arriv-
ing at your destination but you're
all there, and don't have to sue the
driver for the loss of leg or an arm

a miserable make-shif' should be al

LAZY FARM METHODS

McClusky Gazette: While driving
north of McClusky we noted with al
most anger the methods used on as
pretty farm land as any, whose shift
less owner had partly burned off the
stubble and seeded fs without even
the customary lazy method of discing
the field. There is no dust mantle to
retain the moisture, and in dry sea-
son the eartf's humidity will rise to
the warm surface and evaporate- 1.-The
roots of the tender grain viii dry and
dwarf and an indolent farmer will
condemn North Dakota. Many farm-
ers are double discing their stubbIe
fields wish one Of these advocates
would tell us wherein lie The merits of
discing or how much longer time
would be required to pfowathe ground
and harrow thoroughly thereby In
surfing moisture conservation The
successful farmer has learned that

COLLEGES ARE NEEDED
Minos Optic Says That jamestown
Institution Is What North
Dakota Needs.

Minot Optic: If the small chris
tian college is as necessary to the
fullest development OF a state, as
many educators seem to believe, and
experience has shown it to be a most
valuable adjunct to any state institu-
tion North Dakota may we'll look
with pride on the efforts to establish
such college at jamestown. The
college is under the care Of the Pres
byterian board of New York but in
common with similar institutions, the
dogmas OF the Presbyterian church
wfll not be emphasized. It will be a
college with religious influncee, rather
than denominational influence, and as
such is worthy of support of all men
of means who desire to see christian
education advanced in North Dakota,
South Dakota has several small coll
leges. Minnesota has also. Iowa has
nearly two score. Nebraska several,
and the states to the west are start
ing them. That there is a demand for
more educational facilities within this
state is shown by the fact that six
and half times as many young peo-
pie from North Dakota attend outside
institutions as do tn youths from
South Dakota. The only small chris
tian college now in the state, so The
Optic Is informed, is the hustling in
stitution at Fargo under the care of
the Congregationalists with an at
tempt by the MethodisIs Ill connection
with the state university. But these
and the state university and agricul-
tural school are all on the eastern
border of the state. The educational
advantages for the youth of western
and middle North Dakota are limited |;
the incentive to seek college educa4
ton is less strong.
The jamestown college needs stu
dents and needs endowed scholarship
for the benefit OF those who can pay
little or nothing toward the $40 a
year that the tuition and fees amount
to. Some of tile most energetic ana
faithful men of the state are on the
board Of trustees and there is every
promise Of success.
Several Minot business and profess
sional men have taken share in this
effort to provide collegiate education
in the state, 70 a larger extent than
now prevails, and many OF the young
people Of he city look TO jamestown
as the place to go to college.
