v. J. BRYAN SPEAKS
TO CROWD OF 5000
The Great Commoner Delivers One of His Famous
Speeches in Minot---Came on Special Train
---1en Addresses in One Day

William Jennings Bryan, the Great
Commoner, spoke before crowd of
5000 people at the Spring Lake Park
Pavilion Tuesday night. Mr. Bryan
held his audience enraptured for more
than two hours while he entertained
them in mis- inimitable way. Every
seat was taken, and the aisles were
full of people, who crowded towards
the front that they might better hear
this man of national repute. Humid
reds outside were unable to get into
the building at all, and many stood at
the windows and listened to his ad-
dresses the best they could.
1t was only last Saturday that the
Democratic committee decided to havs
the speaker come to Minot, but the
news was heralded over the country
like wild fire, and hundreds came from
the surrounding towns, every train
during the day being crowded with
he admirers of this man.
Bryan came on a special train and
during the dav and evening made ten
speeches. He spoke at Valley City,
Fessenden, Darlington, Courtney, Har-
vey and Velva and did not arrive in
Minot until shortly before nine
o'clock. He proceeded at once to the
pavilion and took his place on the
platform amid the cheers Of thou
sands.
There were perhaps more Republi-
cans than Democrats in the vast
crowd, and people went to hear him
regardless Of party Affiliations. Bryan
is regarded everywhere as a wonder
full man in his way and an orator Sc
cond to none In the entire country.

DARING ESCAPE
Glenn Jones Gets Away from Sheriff Sorenson by
Saving Bar in His Cell and Crawling Up
Twenty-foot Chimney to Roof

pipe on the inside q the chimney,
twenty feet to open air. He cleaned
one side Of the chimney 40 he went,
and if caught, can put his bill into
the county for chimney sweeps ser
vices. The space between the air
pipe and the wall of the chimney 10
very small, and had Jones not been
we'll up in the art of athletics, he
could never have surmounted to the
top OF the chimney. Once out, he
crawled down to the roof and secured
a rope perhaps ten feet long, which
had been left on the roof by
painters, let himself down. The
rope extended but half way to the
ground, and he jumped the remaining
distance, into an iron tank Of water at
the corner of the jail. The water
broke his fall. A quantity of the water
was thrown out of the tank when his
body fell in, as is evidenced by the
moisture on the outside, seen the next
morning. In coming down the rope,
Jones steadied himself with his legs
by holding to the cave spout, and the
spout was unjointed at one place. The
cornice nearly broke under the weight
of the fellow, who, however, was
desperate and willing to take any
chance to escape.
The strange part Of the escape is
that no one heard Jones while ne was
numbering about the jail, at least the
prisoners all declare that they were
sound asleep.
In the cell with Jones we're Oscar
Benson, the Coteau murderer and VIM.
Bronx, who is charged with forgery.

The improvements at the K9avin
Department store have about been
completed. and this Is without ques-

and best appointed stores this side Of
the Twin Cities. The improvements
have cost a large sum, but the de-
cided improvement in the appear
ance Of the store, is increased many
times the cost The center counters
have been cut down, so that one now
gets complete view of the big store
at glance. Magnificent quarters,
sawed oak booths, in mahogany finish,
have been built along the entire
length OF the north side of the store.
These booths are electric lighted and
contain the entire stock of ladies'
ready to wear garments of the store,
all displayed on hangers. The store
has been equipped with new rugs
and the entire place looks like q

Brakeman was declared vacant by a

LeSueur discovered that Brakeman
had not complied with two Of the
requirements Of his office, viz, filling

ton as all members of the force are
supposed to do. Owing to the techni-
cality, Commissioner Emerson moved
that the office be declared vacant,
and Commissioner Mus seconded the
motion. McGahan offered an amend

next Monday night to do these things,
but the amendment did not carry.

AS he stepped before the crowd,
after being introduced by Chairman
Wooledge of Kenmare, the din was
terrific The closing words of the
chairman were drowned by the cheers.
Bryan appeared considerably older
than he did In former years, when at
the age Of thirty-six, he first came
into prominence. after his famous
Chicago speech. He looks we'll cared
for and the same sparkle is still in
his eyes, but in his address ne did not
mount to such heights Of oratory a.
has characterized him in the past
Bryan is more polished, however, and
his many years on the platform have
worn off the rough edges soto speak.
At times, however, he went into his
subject with all his old time vim,
and brought forth lusty cheers from
his admirers. His m!atcnless voice
could easily be heard to the farther
est corners OF the pavilion.
Bryan has the happy faculty of tell
ing stories well, and his entire address
was interspersed with them, each one
applicable to somepoint ne desired to
clinch. His entire speech was clean
and wholesome and what he said OF
the fitness OF candidates for public
office, would be applicable to those
of any party or faction.
In opening his address, he said he
was glad to visit the enterprislng city
Of Minot. While he had visited the
state before, he had never been in
Western North Dakota, and he was
glad to take a part in the campaign.
He remarked that he believed In re-

it, the resignation Of Mr.. Thompson
should be asked. A motion to this
effect carried, to 2.
There is considerable speculation
as to who will be the next Chief OF
Police. 1t is rumored that Henneghan
will get the job, though the city CON-
mfssioners say little about it.
The office pays but $85 a month,
and it is hard to get a real good man
to consider It.

Glen Jones, the notorious crook.
who attempted to rob the Sawyer
State bank last July. escaped from
the county jail Sunday night or early
Monday morning. His escape was one
of the most daring escapes that has
ever been pulled of in the state and
young Jones no doubt could give
Sherlock Holmes some pointers for
an interesting story.
In some manner, Jones secured two
case knives. The male prisoners are
not allowed knives, but two women
confined in the woman's ward are
allowed these accessories, and it NAV
be that Jones secured the knives from
them. At odd times, he sawed one Of
the upper bars of his cell and dur
ing the night took out the bar, which
is not more than eight inches long.
Although he is a big husky fellow
weighing fully $50 pounds, he manag.

ture in the very top OF his cell, which

ches. How he managed to twist his
body into such shape that he could
crawl through that small hole is a
mystery that Sheriff sorenson cannot
solve. Several Of the other prisoners
have tried it, as an experiment, and
they have given up the task.
The prisoner after getting out
side of his cell, walked through the
corridors, up the iron stairs and
through the door into one OF the
corridors on the upper floor, which
was unlocked. With some instrument,
he pried several OF the bricks from
the chimney and crawled up the air

in the support Of the schools; let Us
insist that this great northwestern por-
ton of tho state gets its just deserts,
and gets a normal school right here,
where our teachers and our children
can be trained. We pay for the sup
port of all the state institutions; we
want our fair and Just share. After
discussion as to where the new school
should be located, two Legislatures In
succession passed bill locating It at

Of the state to say, by their ballots

established or not. II 4 majority Of

doubtful whether either Minot or any

future. Don't lose the opportunity
