president of the Detroit baseball CLUB.
Mr.. Navin was at his desk before the
dicky birds had finished their mathis
Tuesday. but said that he had not as
yet received the letter which Cobo Is
said to have written him from Angus
"a, stating the reasons why he has not
as vet Joined the club that is practlclng
In the south.
! IL have no doubt but that Ty has
good reasons for not Joining the CLUB
said Mr.. Navin." Probably he has not
'been able TO close up his winter work
as an automobile salesman as soon as
me had hoped. He may find himself
compelled 10 remain as long as posi-
bile, in order TO protect his investment
DE that as Ii may. have no doubt that
Ty will report in good shape. He Is
really a man who never gets out OF
condition anyway, and he is too wise
q boy TO allow himself to be caught
in anything but the pink at the start
OF championship season"
When asked if there was a possibil-
ity that Ty would be fined, in case ne
failed TO report for the training games
Mr. Navin voiced an emphatic mega
tive.
NO cnance, ne Eepleu With uV
bonnair wave OF the hand. In the
meantime he also shook his head in
an emphatic manner.
Cobb, interviewed at Augusta, says
that he has four automobiles awaiting
purchasers but insists he will be on
deck When the bell rings"
BY this it is inferred that he has no
intention of quitting Augusta before
time that will bring him TO Detroit
opening day. Undoubtedly Hughie
Jennings will make a strong effort 10
get Ty TO Cincinnati in time for the
series of games there April II and y.
1t Is Hughes intention TO get his regu-
lar team together there and give them

.ROUSING RALLY
AT BOTTINEAU

Bottineau, N. D., Oct. 26.-Two
rousing republican meetings were held
here yesterday by Hon. c. A. Johnson,
republican nominee for. governor, and
ex- Governor J. M. Divine, both of Mi

addressed q meeting composed of most
OF the county republican precinct

county candidates, along with a num-
Der OF the active republican party
workers. Although Mr.. Johnson had
just ridden 100 miles through the cold

dtcapped by being chilled through and

sion and gave a good address, defining
his position clearly, being freely APP

The authorities were able to make a

Another Democratic
Campaign Lie Nailed
Statements Of Democratic Organs Of the State Are Absolutely
DiSapprOved-ReaI Cause for Reduction Is Tremendous
Gain In Assessed Valuation.

Since the adjournment OF the state
board of equalization the newspaper
organs of Governor Burke have at
tempted to show that the governor is
solely responsible for a reduction OF
eighth-tenths of mill in the state tax
levy for the general fund, which, fig-
ured on the total assessed valuation
for 1910, amounts to $222,S75.
They loudly assert that this reduc-
ton is due to the governors "econom-
ical administration"
An examination of the published re-
ports of the state board of equaliza-
ton win show that neither of these
statements lis true.
The Bowman News, a democratic
paper, in a recent issue, commenting
on a criticism of the governors action
as member of the board of equaliza-
ton, says: THE governor Is chair
man and the remaining four members
are republicans, and the chairman is
entitled, to vote when tie exists and
1t is seldom that he has an opportunity
to vote" This statement is untrue and

CLEVER ESCAPE
OF BANK ROBBER

Minot, N. D.. Oct. 26.--One of the
cleverest and most unique Jail deliver
les ever attempted and successfully
county Jail in this city, when Glen
Jones. held on charge of attempted
bank robbery, made his escape.
Jones has been in jail here since
last June. he was caught at Saw
yer with all preparations made to blow
the bank safe, He was given a pre-
liminary hearing and held to the dis
trict court.
He has been good prisoner and no
one suspicioned that he was prepar-
Ing to break Jail however, It is APP
parent that he laid his plans some
time ago and worked them out care
fully. Using an ordinary table knife
Jones hacked the blade into a crude
saw; during the night he managed to
saw two bars at the top Of his cell
close to the ceiling; sometime during
last night, he broke off the bars and
squeezed from his cell into the jail
corridor; he then made his way to the
second story Of the building, where he
removed several bricks from the chin
ney, making an aperture large enough
to admit his body. Jones crawled into
the chimney and then worked his way
up the chimney and onto the roof of
the jail, a distance OF about 25 feet. A
piece of about feet In length which
had been left on the roof by Chin
ney sweep, aided Jones in getting safe
ly to the ground although he had to
drop some twelve feet.
Jones was not missed until the 1ailor
made his rounds in the morning.
The police of the northern part of
the state are securing the country for
the convict.

Is made no doubt to attempt to justify
any action or inaction on the part Of
the governor as a member of the state
board Of equalization which might call
for a just criticism.
The governor is one member of five
Of the state board of equalization Of
which he is chairman, and as a mem
Der has an equal voice and vote with
any other member Of the board.
The Fargo News, in its issue of Sept.
~, alleges that the governor has oc-
complished great things as one mem
Der out of five of the state board OF
equalization. The News says OF the
governor: He promised to reduce
taxation, and the published tax levy
shows that It is lower this year than
any year since statehood. is that de-
liyering the goods?"
Falsehoods Shown Up.

Is TO show the falsity of such infer
