WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE
Price of 500 Set Upon the Heads of
Negroes Who Escaped From the
Brazoria County Jail.

Houston, Texas, Sept. 14.-Up to
late last night the two negroes who
broke Jail Sunday at Angleton, later
mortally wounding Mr. Tut Hardin at
Chenango and settling the coast coun-
try aflame between Galveston and
Bay City, had not been captured, al
though posses are securing the coun-
try, and the apprehension of one of
the men will probably be effected to-
day.
From Sheriff Gibson of Brazoria
county it is learned that since the
shooting of Mr.. Hardin the two ne
groes have separated. John Cooper,
the negro with the Winchester rifle
and the one who shot Mr. Hardin. is
making his way up the international
railroad toward Houston, while Chas.
Delaney, armed with the shotgun, has
evidently decided to take his chances
in the river bottom.
Sheriff Gibson put up at Sandy
Point last night and was reached over
the telephone. He said that Mr.. t.
W. House and some of the negroes at
the Arcola sugar mills saw Cooper
yesterday afternoon, but that after
getting something to eat the negro
passed on toward the north without
being molested. He was still armed
with the Winchester and in defiant
mood. Sheriff Gibson expects to over
haul Cooper and take him dead or
alive. He is expected to fight. The
sheriff believes it will be several days
before Delaney is captured. He has
increased the reward for each man to
800, dead or alive.
Sheriff Gibson said that Mr.. Hardin
was shot about II o'clock Sunday
night and lived until yesterday morn
ing. He was conscious until a few
moments before the breath left his
body.

UNREST IN MEXICO NOW
Reported That the Followers of Gen.
eraI Reyes Are Preparing to
Start Trouble.
(Herald Specially

City of Mexico, Sept 14-Despite
the reassuring statements emanating
from official sources, it is known that
the government looks forward with
considerable apprehension to the COM
ing celebration of the national holt
days. For weeks past rumors have
been current that the followers of
General Bernadino Reyes, the malcon-
tent soldier-politician, who aspires to
the nomination for the vice presi-
dency in the elections to be held a
year hence, are planning to start trou-
BILE during the excitement of the two
days of fiesta incident to the celebra-
ton of the birthday of President Diaz
tomorrow and the Mexican independ-
ence day, which falls a day later. 1t
is feared that the double holiday with
its incidental suspension of all kinds
of labor and the gathering of huge
crowds may prove a period fraught
with great danger to the republic
The government, however, is believed
to have the situation well in hand.
The recent flood disasters in the
northern states, where the political
unrest has been most pronounced, has
done much to distract public atten-
ton from political affairs, and the
popular uprising which for a time
seemed imminent has lately shown
signs of subsiding. AS an additional
measure of precaution the government
has massed troops at the principal
points in readiness to suppress all
disturbances.

ROCK CRUSHING PLANT
Will Be Acquired and Operated BY
the City of San Antonio-Street
Work Will Be Cheap.
tHerald Specially

San Antonio, Texas, Sept. A.
With the great majority of the city
councilmen in favor of the acquisition
and operation by the city of large
rock crushing plant, and with Mayor
Callaghan only too anxious to in
crease the efficiency of the street paw
ing plant now owned by the city, the
establishment of such a plan is as
sured. When the street paving plant
was bought it was thought that the
stone necessary could be procured
from the city gravel pits, but expert
ments made since then have shown
that crushed limestone is superior.
Since the city owns number of very
fine limestone quarries the buying of
the needed machinery will be all that
is necessary to establish the plant
The only thing the city will buy then
for the paving of it's streets will be
cement. 1t has been proposed to sup
ply owners of property on which good
sidewalks are lacking with crushed
stone and sand free of charge as soon
asst the plant is in operation.

SHOT THROUGH THE HEART.
Body of Henry Hansen of Port Arthur
Was Found In His Room.

Port Arthur, Texas, Sept. 13.-
Henry Hansen, aged So years, who
has been living in a small house at
the rear of 1874 Ninth street for the
past three months, shot and killed
himself this morning in his room. 1t
is presumed that dependency led to
the act. Hansen had been patching
with julius Holmes for some time
Holmes left for work as usual this
morning at 8 o'clock. About 8 o'clock
shot was heard by some of the
neighbors, but no attention was given
it, and the body was not found until
3 o'clock this afternoon, when Holmes
returned from work. The bullet, fired
from a 41-caliber Colts revolver, had
struck the heart, and death was prob
ably instantaneous. AS soon as the
body was found the coroner was noti-
fled and an inquest is now in pro-
gress.

ROOT VALLEY
ADVERTISED
NORTHERN PACIFIC ISSUES M
TERESTlNG cARD-EXPOSi-
TON RUSH GREAT.

The most recent advertising issued
by the Northern Pacific road Is In the
form of an Illustrated card showing
the beauties and advantages of the
Bitter Root valley. The whole card is
well gotten up and contains a volume
of valuable information as to the ca
pabilites and possibilities of the Bit
ter Root The credit for the adver-
tisement is largely due to Sid M Ward
of Hamilton, for it was by him that
the data and information and, for that
matter, the idea, we've given to the
railroad officials.
The rush to the exposition still con-
tinues, and every train nowadays, both
west bound and east bound, goes in
two sections. The route is hot and
dusty, but apparently tho western
mountain air is a relief to the trav-
elers after the heat Of the east, for
they all look cooler than the natives,
even. The branch trains all along the
line are reported crowded, too, and the
Bitter Root gets more, than it's share
every day. All of the eastern tourists
seem to regard the valley and the
Yellowstone park as the two stop-off
points on the Northern Pacific, and
the little branch line is certainly do
ing it's full quota of. business. Mis-
soula is also a strong factor in the
exposition crowds. Every day there
is larger Missoula delegation leaving
the city, and it has gotten so that
berths must be reserved days in add
vance.

yesterday dissolved and
Charlie has become the sole owner of

that ever lived and as soon as he and
the horses got here, the bluegrass be-

Bitter Root and it has grown there

it is in Old Kentucky. The partners
have made a lot of friends; there is
hardly a man in town who doesn't
know one or the other or both of
them. But the turn in the long lane
came yesterday and Tom said goodbye
to the old place. The friends that he
has made will miss him, but they will

remain and Charles will have to do
the honors for both. And he is built

all right. He is there. whether it is

Yesterday was a red letter day in

any definite step in the progress OF
the road, but that it saw the issuance
of time card No. l of the Missoula di-
vision, The issuance of this time
card is not in itself "a remarkable
event, but marks the end of construc-
ton days and the beginning of the
first scheduled Train operation. Yes
terday's card marks the time of two
trains, both freight, one a through
fast freight and one a local train
Both have been in operation for some
time past, but no fixed schedule had
been issued until yesterday. The new
trains, Nos. SO and Cd and Nos. II and
hour schedule, from Deer Lodge to AL
berton in two hours, and from Alder
ton to North Fork in two more, and
vice versa. This time is not very fast,
but as the track gets into better shape
and the finishing touches are put in
the schedule will be made faster. The
two freight trains are the only ones
shown on card No. 1 but, as was an
nounced in The Missoulan week
ago, the local officials expect to see
passenger service by about July Is
to accommodate the registration
