more at home here than in any other
part of the country. In fact he has
relatives at Snohomish Flats. Wash

Crows May Sign Pledge,

Winston, Conn.-As crows had re-
peatedly made raids on his corn which
is still in the field. William Oles Of
Colebrook. who used to sell John d 5
oil, soaked a pan of shelled corn in
whiskey and placed it in the corn
patch.
This morning he heard the most Pc
cular crow talkfest and on going to
the corn field found a flock of eigh-
teen big crows so intoxicated they
couldn't fly or walk.
Oles got an old parrot cage and
threw them into it, and six hours
later, after they had apparently re-
covered from their spree. he shot
them. He then scattered their bod
les over the field as a warning to 9TH
er crows that might happen along.

BILL MINER IS
. AGAIN At LARGE
NOTORIOUS BANDIT MAKES
ESCAPE FROM PRISON
Has Robbed Express and Passenger
Trains and Stage Coaches i'm all
Parts of Western Country and Es-
capped From Nearly Every Jail.

Portland. Ore, Oct. 27.-Put your
money in your stocking if you are go-
ing travelling, for "Old Bill" Miner
is out again. "Old Bill" who lacks
hut a few months of being 20, and who
for 40 years terrorized express COM
ranies, stage coach operators, and
pretty nearly everybody who travelled
by rail or stage from the coast to the
other side of the Rockies has escaped
from the Georgia prison and general
warnings have been issued to detec-
tive agencies and police to lookout for
another train robbery.
Miner has escaped from nearly ev-
cry prison in the west. He gave Port
land a jolt in 1903 when he held up
the Oregon Railroad & Navigation
cOmpany's express at Corbett and rob-
bed the express car and the Pullman
passengers. He escaped from the
penitentiary at New Westminster, B.
c.. following his Imprisonment there
on a life sentence is still one of the
mysteries of the Canadian prison.
Holds Up Train.
In February Of this year he held
up the Southern express in Georgia,
was captured and given a 20 year sem
tence in the Georgia penitentiary.
Allan Pinkerton, of the PinkertOn
agency, which has captured "Old
Bill' on numerous occasions, includ-
ing his most recent arrest in Georgia
was in Portland last February when
the news was flashed out that the
leader of the Georgia gang was "Old
Bill" himself and had received a 20
year sentence.
1T means a life term for Miner this
time" a friend remarked to Mr. Pin
kerton.
"Old Bill? guess not" said Mr..
Pinkerton, they'll never keep him in
jail long. He has the most wonderful
faculty for escaping of any man I've
ever came across"
There are circulars in the Portland
office of the Pinkertons offering re-
wards for the capture of Miner that
go back to the early sos. In the early
days of Colorado, Nevada and Cali
fornia, he was n notorious stage coach
robber, being uniformly successful in
robbing stages and making his es-
cape. When the stage coach gave
way to the railroad "Old Bill'' took up
the more hazardous job of train rob-
bing, with just as much success.
On Watch for Bandit.
The Southern Pacific, the Union
Pacific, the o. Il. & N, the Great
Northern and the Canadin Pacific
were some of the western roads that
used to send out guards armed es-
pecially to get even with "Old Bill".
Following his sensational escape from
New Westminster Miner was not
heard from again until the robbery
on the Southern railroad.
It is the belief of the Pinkerton

Pany From Finishing Bridge and

Bradshaw Sets Jan. 3 as Time For
Hearing Application For Temporary
Injunction.

Al!eeing Irregularities and illegalities
in the contract letting, c. r. Speers has
fled suit against the board of super
yisors. county auditor, and treasurer,
and n N. Stark & Co., Des Moines, a
bridge building firm, to prevent the
latter from completing a cement bridge
over the Iowa river al Nicholson's ford
and to prevent u the supervisors from
Carrying out the contract with STARK
for the building of the bridge or pay
ing for it. After hearing the appllca-
ton for the injunctions sought. Judge
c. B. Bradshaw fixed Jan. as the date
Of the hearing for the temporary in
functions.
Contract Was For $500.
Mr. Speers. who brings the suit as
an individual and tax payer, is presi-
cent OF the A. E. Shorthill Company, OF
this city The contract. which is The
target Of this suit, was entered into
Sept. -. 1t is for q three-span rein
forced concrete bridge $50 feet long 10
cost $S,S00. The work of building the
bridge is well advanced. The defend
ants named are f. 3. Emes. Elias
Bueghly, and \. o. Keen, supervisors
County Auditor A. II. Welker. and
County Treasurer r. ". Stevens, in
addition tc the Stark company.
Nc Composition Alleged.
One of the principal allegations set
ont in the petition is that the contract
was let by the supervisors to the Stark
Company. at the company's price
without competition of bidders. 1t is
further alleged that the contract was
let without the knowledge of other
bridge builders. and at an excessive
price In addition it is claimed that
this contract is but the latest of ser
les of similar contracts let to the Stark
Company.
The type OF bridge being built is at
tackled as monopoly and not correct
in principle. and ii is claimed the work
is being done without inspection C!
supervision, and that the old bridge
which is being replaced by the new
could have been repaired for $500.
The Supervisors Claims.
E B. Enes. the only supervisor who
! lives in this city could not be reached
| by telephone this afternoon AT the
time the contract was let members of
the board of supervisors said that the
condition of the masonry Of the bridge
made it unwise to let it remain over
winter The supervisors thought that
the ice run in the spring would prob
ably cause further damage or perhaps
carry the bridge away altogether.
For these reasons they considered
ii necessary to let a contract at once,
in order that the new bridge might be
built by spring. and contract was
quickly let for that reason. there being
no time, they said to advertise for bids
if the bridge was to be built during
the fall and winter

TAKE INSURANCE AGENT

SIOUX FALLS MAN CUT DOWN
AMOUNT OF Policies TO BE
ABLE TO TAKE PART IN
PREMIUM.

Sioux Falls. S. D.-Accuscd of en-
bezzling $1,000 Of moscy which had
been paid him for life insurance by
LOCAL people whom she insured, Ralph
". tWakely, agent. for the Reserve
Loan Life insurance company, OF
indianapolis, Ind, was brought back
to Sioux Falls yesterday from Duluth
by Sheriff Kelley and was released
on a $4,000 hail which his relatives
put up.
The methods by which it is charg-
ed that Wakely secured the money
were to reduce the policies after an
applicant had paid for a larger policy
and he would then keep the money
Thus if a nan applied and paid for
a $4,000 policy, Wakely, according
to the charges, would send money to
the company for $500 and keep the
remainder of the premium himself.
" Complaint swere finally received
by the state insurance department
from people who did not get as
large policies as they had paid for
and the company in Indianapolis was
notified and sent wv. r. Zulich here
to investigate and he made the com

The entire afternoon was devoted
10 the sport program and there vas
interest conferred In nearly every
event of the afternoon. An admis-
sion was charged to the ground and
1t is stated that there were over o.
900 paid admissions.
The baseball game was pulled off
first, between Letcher and White
Lake. The score stood 8 to 1 in IA
vor OF Letcher.
The horse races were interesting
because of the animals being owned
locally and quite a good deal of riv-
airy existed among the friends of the
owners of the horses.
w. w. Davis horse won the 2:5
trot. Chas. Wagner's horse, Hans
Jewell, took the 3-minuet trot, and
Ray Harris pony won the pony race.
John Wagner's Fox" took the horse
race handily. Albert Jensen's
fRoss' of this city, won the FARM
crs' race.
In the latter part of the afternoon
and early evening the minor sports
iMere pulled off on Main street. These
consisted of foot, races, potato race
and all kinds Of races. The one that
created the greatest fun a the
creased pig race. An oldtime ra-
zorback hog was brought from Ar
kansas for the event, and after he
had been thoroughly creased. he was
turned looge in a lot and four men
went after him at the same time, the
catcher being the owner of the hog.
John Wagner eventually landed
with a death grip on the razorbacx
