NERVOUS
WRECK

Captain Fitzgerald and Deputy
Sheriff Doten will not arrive in
the city until Saturday morning
with Charles Weller, the accused
murderer in their custody. The
party is now on its way from Cali
foruia.
Weller appears to be on the
verge of nervous prostration. His
face is deeply lined and the facial
muscles twitch continuously. Wez-
ler still asserts that he did not
kill his mother-in-law, Mrs. Fred
ericka Schulz.

Yeh, you know how it is. Now's
the time of year in Tacoma when
you get he nomadic fever, and go
live in a new house.
There's something that wakes
the pulse in the thought of plant
ing yourself elsewhere-a sense of
progress and achievement.
Then it comes off-the moving.
Also the sense of progress and
achievement. When you rouse out
of it you feel as If you had been
set back about ten years. You find
you have started something that is
hard to finish.
Getting the move man to fall in
with your plans during the busy
season is the first ordeal. He tells
you there are 1S ahead of you
would you mind waiting until next
month? You tell him that under
those circumstances, then, the
matter is impossible. At the same
time you become so panicky over
the bull market in moving vans
that when you do find one on the
market you hasten to cover at any
figure the owner prescribes.
Then you wait for the moving
van.
Several days have elapsed since
the close of the lastc hapter. 1t is
7 p. m. and you are in your new
hame with all your household
goods. You know they are all
there because there are SO many
more of hem than you thought you
had, and you also realize that they
look more attractive in their places
than where the move men set them
down. You also realize that they
looked pretty cheap while going
through the streets in the unmer-
ciful light of heavens sunshine.
Never mind, you are now looking
for culinary utensils. Soon you de-
eide that you can't cook meal on
the folding bed, and the kitchen
stove isn't of any particular use to
you in the hall room upstairs. Any
how, there's no fuel. And the gas
isn't turned on. Nor the water.
You must really remember to have
that water attended to tomorrow,
because there's no telling when
you will want to take bath after
taking the curtain poles and bric-
a-brac out of the tub. The teapot
is in the middle of a roll of carpet,
the brussels or the wilton-you
forget which. You manage to eat
a ghastly cold supper of pickles
and cheese out of a dusty-hand-
painted plaque.
You draw the shades, IL there
are any. II not, you pin newspa-
pers over the windows. You don't
want your neighbors to see your
nest making. But they can hear
you tramping over the bare boards
with noise like horse until
about IL p. m: while you four
flush round by candle light trying
to make a dent in chaos.
If you are lucky and Industrious

ESCAPE ON
ENGINE
FORCE ENGINEER TO BATTER
DOWN PRISON GATES AND
TAKE THEM FAR INTO THE
COUNTRY. .....#=.
(BULLETIN.)

LEAVENWORTH Kas., April
|21.-Five of the most dangerous
convicts in the federal prison here
overpowered the crew of switch
engine in the prison yards, forced
the engineer to run the locomotive
out into the country and escaped.
Two men, unarmed, were
quickly recaptured, the others
were armed and told the engineer
that they would not be taken
alive.
Forty guards of the prison and
a company of soldiers boarded a
special train and started in pur-
suit of the fugitives.
The escaped convicts were lat
er reported to be hiding in a wine
cellar, nine mites from the prison.
The convicts are Arthur Huitt,
Frank Grigware and Thomas
Heating, all sentenced to the
prison for life. Huitt and Keat-
ing were ringleaders in the prison
break of 1901, when twenty-six
prisoners escaped and three were
killed by guards.
Following that escape, Huitt
and Keating were convicted of
murder and sentenced from Oma-
ha. They were captured in Idaho
after the robbery.
1t is believed that the fugi-
tives got their arms from ex-con-
victs. The escape from the prison
yard was one of the most spectac-
ular ever recorded here. The con-
victs compelled the engineer to
use the locomotive as battering
ram in breaking down the prison
gates. At first the engineer re-
fused, but when three of the
prisoners drew revolvers and
threatened 10 shoot him, he con-
scented. After smashing the gates
the engine ran distance of -four
miles, where 1t was stopped by a
broken bridge.
