HydGr III Marion Jail.

Lewis Hyder, who recently es-
capped from Henderson county
officers, is now in the Marion
Jail. Sheriff Blackwell has re-
ceived a telegram from the
sheriff of Mcdowell county read
ing like this:
Il have Lewis Hyder in jail
here. Do you know anything
about him?"
The Sheriff thought he did
know something of him-all he
had to do was to close his eyes a
moment and he could still see
Lewis shoot, head first out of the
car window, strike the ground
and roll over and over down the
embankment and escape. So
the Sheriff sighed with relief to
know his escaped prisoner was
safe and not dead of starvation
as he had feared.
Deputy Otis Powers leaves for
Marion either tonight or in the
morning and will take Hyder to
Raleigh to the Asylum for dan
gerous insane there.
Lewis Hyder has a record for
escaping. He escaped from Jail
in Washington, D. c., while
serving in the army, got away
from the Raleigh institution last
May, and recently escaped from
Henderson county officers who
were returning him there, jump
ing, handcuffed from the car
window while the train was
going about 35 miles and hour.
He escaped near Statesville and
was recaptured near Marion.
Sheriff Powers, will use every
precaution to land his dangerous
prisoner at the State capital.

Jim" HILL BACKS
SUIT AGAINST S.P.
Made to Gust Railroad
From Land Valued at
S35,OO0,00O

Los ANGELES. Sept lin suit
flied in the United States circuit court
today by T. S Minot. a San Francisco
attorney, the federal government is
asked to confirm the titles of 43 per-
sons TO valuable oil and mineral lands
in the Coshnga and Midway districts,
valued at about s35.0o0.oo0 which, il is
alleged. the Southern Pacific company
is holding in defiance of a special act
of con- gress
The land in question contains about
1000 acres, and the z3 persons who
have Joined in the suit have located on
the land.
1t has been stated. and Attorney
Minot has practically confirmed the
rumor. that James J. Hill is the force
behind the suits. and that his object is
to force concessions from the Southern
Pacific. in order 10 give the Hill rail-
roads an entrance into southern Cali
fornia
The suit is based on an act of con-
gress passed July %, 1865, in which
certain lands We're granted to the
Southern. Pacific subject to certain min
eral reservations.
BY q Joint resolution by the house
and senate, passed June rs, 1870, the
Southern Pacific was given patents to
the land granted it by the act of con-
gress, but again all mineral lands in
these grants were excepted.
The Kern trading and oil company
has sunk wells on some of this land
and is developing Ii to considerabl ex-
tent. The complaint alleges that this
company is confederate of the South
ern Pacific company and is officered
and controlled by the Southern Pacific.
1t is believed that the United States
y0VarnDnerf will send SnPcia1 r
torney to represent it in the case in
volving the oil lands and a decision
in this case may involve the right of
the Southern Pacific to half a million
acres of lands that it honds through
grants from the federal government.

oBEYS THEIR ORDER
INDICTMENTS SET
ASIDE BY COURT
r. Augustus Heinze Will Stand
Trial on But One Count

NEW YORK. Sept. 1.-THE indict-
ments charging F. Augustus Heinze,
the copper fnancier. with conspiracy
lice by concealing the books of the
United copper company were dismissed
b. Judge Hough of the United States
circuit court today.
The books were under subpoena of the
federal court last spring, when the
courts We're investigating Heinze's ac-
lion as president of the Mercantile ma
ti0nal bank in sustaining the firm of
otto Heinze & Co. during the financial
panic of 1907. The accounts which
we're wanted could not be found by the
federal officers, and Heinze's indictment
followed.
Judge Hough today dismissed Is or
the is counts In an Indictment also
pending against Heinze charging him
with misappropriation of the funds of
the Mercantile national bank by certi-
Tying checks of the firm of Otto
Heinze's account
One Of the indictments alleging mis-
application of funds of the bank by
Beinze was approved by Judge Hough.
Judge Hough, in dismissing the Is
counts OF the Indictment charging mis-
application of the funds Of the bank.
said that these counts seemed to charge
that Heinze for the benefit of him
self and others unnamed caused the
bank TO discount single name COM
n1ercial paper and the bank lost the
amount paid
The judge said it would be necessary
70 maintain action for conversion
Of the proceeds of the note, which he
did not believe could be done He
therefore threw out those counts
The sixteenth count, which was re-
tsfned, charges that Heinze knew the
River OF the note was insolvent when
81 was discounted. The judge said this
would amount to conversion

JEWELS VALUED AT
100000 STOLEN
Police Working on Diamond Rob-
berry, Which Occurred in
February

PITTSBURG, Sept. 1.-THE biggest
diamond and jewel robbery perhaps
in the history of the country occurred
in Pittsburg early last spring. but the
police are only now making 1t public.
The value of the gems stolen amounts
to about 100000, yet the police refuse
to make known the name of the person
robbed.
They admit, however, that they are
on the track of the man or men who
stole one diamond valued at $4,000
and enough other jewelry and precious
stones to total the 100000. 1t is
thought that the house, which is said
to be situated just outside the city.
was robbed last February while the
family was at home.
The big diamond, weighing 10L
karats, on account of its size and it's
description. is expected to be a white
elephant on the hands of those who
took Ii. Numerous other jewels worth
$4,000 each are on the list.
