JAIL BREAK At CONC0NULLY
Leroy, the Desperately Wounded
Desperate, Prizes off Lock
and Makes a Getaway.

Word was received here by tele-
phone from Conconully Thursday morn
ing that tho robber Leroy, or Nc
Ginty, with whom Sheriff Thorp per-
formed duel stunt last week, had
broken jail and escaped. This escape
is no less sensational than the perform
ance that resulted in laying out the
robber and securing his incarceration.
The story of the shooting is too fresh
in the minds of the people for repeti-
ton. 1t ended with the robber having
two fingers of the right hand shot off
and slug of lead clean through his
body. perforating lung in it's passage.
The man was not expected to live. He
was confined in a wooden cell, but his
condition was such that even the pres
caution .seemed unnecessary. The
sheriff was gofng to put him in tho
steel cage, but he was so much worse
Wednesday, condition that no doubt
was assumed, that it seemed cruel to
make the change. Wednesday night
the wounded man secured a chisel by
some means and pried off the lock. He
was tracked as far as the church in the
east part of town, where all trace was
lost The man must have had a con-
federate, for otherwise in his cOndi-
ton it would have been impossible for
him to have gone any distance. If he
made the break without help his re-
capture is a question of only a few
hours, or he will certainly die of ex-
posture. This Jail break is further evil
dence of the desperate character of the
man. Undoubtedly he has such Grim
son record that he fears going to the
penitentary, where identification would
follow, and would rather take chances
of death from his wounds, or the ele-
ments, than face the charges that
stand against him elsewhere.

CHRISTMAS TREE.

The Federated Sunday school will
have Christmas tree Christmas eve.
This is a class of entertainment that
stales not with age, nor does it lose its
interest by repetition. 1t is common
feature of the Christmas festivities.
and is always keenly enjoyed by old and
young, especially the latter. Itmakes
the old feel younger, by reviving the
scenes of childhood, and it is cold
man or woman indeed whose heart is
not set aglow by the happiness of ino-
cent childhood. The plans for the
proposed Christmas tree have not as
yet been fully formulated, but the tree
will be there on the date specified to
bear the fruit that makes the eyes of
boys and girls twinkle, and expecta-
ton run riot. The entertainment will
be free and without price to all who
may attend, and the aim of those in
charge will be to see that no little one
is overlooked or disappointed.

WEAKNESS OF A DIVIDED HOUSE.


Ed Spanker6arger, of Nelson, was
in town a couple of days this week.
He conducted a thirst quencher at Mol
son for long time, but townsite fric-
tion compelled suspension of BUSH
ness, and the old boy is INDUCING in
big bunch of leisure. Town site
troubles have been curse to num-
Der of towns in this county, holding
back growth and prosperity that could
have been held back in no other way,
A community divided against itself is
on the road to ruin, and few towns can
overcome the ulcer of internecine war.
So many places nowadays are pulling
for supremacy that the denizens of
place must join hands and push to-
gether if they can ever hope to keep
up with the procession. Nelson is for
tunately situated to make thriving
point, but unfortunately too widely di-
vided to ever succeed. The only hope
is funeral for the Ratchet, and COM

it is one that should appeal
favorably to the citizens The scheme
is to form joint stock company for
the purpose of raising funds to pur-
chase the line and equipments outright,
thus making it purely home institu-
ton, operated by home people. AS
plain investment it is a very inviting
enterprise, and If a single individual
with some practical knowledge of the
telephone business had the means to
put in and operate the plant it would
prove to be very remunerative in
vestment. In time the business is sure
to grow to considerable magnitude, and
an organized company would in few
years possess very valuable property
and franchise. 1t seems waste Of
space to point out the advantage and
value such system would be to the
business men of the town, for that
should be plainly evident to any per-
son who will give it thought. The
saving of time, the incalculable con-
venience, are features that should ap-
peal to every one. When once in OPP
Grafton those using the system would
wonder how on earth they ever got
along without the great modern con-
venience.
