TEN BREAK JAIL
At ALBUQUERQUE
SENSATIONAL ESCAPE OF PRl.
SoNERS OCCURRED THERE
LAST NIGHT

Albuquerque, N. M, March 22.--
What is believed to have been the
most sensational and wholesale jail
delivery since the wild and woolly
days of the territory, occurred here
last night when ten prisoners made
their escape from the county jail.
The prisoners sawed their way out
of their cells and took their egress
from the building by cutting tie
heavy bars of one of the outer win
dows. Some sensational developments
may be brought forth in the investi'
CATION of the affair which is nov
being carried on, as it is believed
the prisoners had aid from the cut
side.
Among the men to escape was
Dennis Hart, United States prison
er awaiting sentence in the peniten'
tiary at Leavenworth. Joe Grimes
a man convicted with Hart of rob.
bing postoffices and against whom a
charge of participation in the roo.
berry of the John Becker store at Pc
len is pending, also escaped Hart
is a native of Las Vegas and was
arrested there last fall.
Other men to escape were P.
F'uentes, charged with breaking the
seal on box car; Earl Gray, charged
with the theft of a diamond from
a patient in the Santa Fe hospital

time ago while fleeing from the ter
ritory; George Miller and Roy Full
Ter, charged with robbery; Emmett

with robbery, and a man named
Stevens, a dope fiend.
Stevens was placed in jail a few
days ago TO recover from the effects
of continued use of drugs. 1t is be-
lieved that he was the instigator OF
the jail delivery and planned the
escape. Officers discovered the escape
of the prisoners shortly after it oc-
Cured, which was between 11:45 and
1890 o'clock Under the direction
of Under Sheriff Fred Heyn search
was begun but at late hour this
afternoon none of the men had been
captured. 1t is believed the men are
hiding near Albuquerque and will at
tempt to get out of town tonight.

with the way a similar bunch Of
men woald have put in their tiIne
where they went away to attend
some sort of a public gathering.
The ladies went quietly home with
the local women who belong TO the
organization here in town. where
they, remained quietly until time
for the: meetings. and then they.
we're all on hand. Not one, of them

thNse women had been men and
had assembled in q town big enough
ta furnish places in which to spend
money, how would they have done?

taken many drinks Then after
thoroughly drenehine their stomachs
somebody would have suggested
that they slip around somewhere

partaking of an expensive lunch
they would have taken a few more

Wrong Conditions in Missouri.

AhS NhC SOiiNlNlOllo "hlSh dlC lilllt-
tating against the growth and pros
perity of the state and take up the
policies which will promote the
general welfare The strange ano-
maly is presented by the census re-
turns that although Missouri posses
SEES the most diversified soil of any
state in the union, and much of it
the most fertile, less naIf the state
is under cultivation and there has
been a decrease in the rural popu-
latiOn in the last ten years. This,
too, In face 81 the fact that Tor sew
eral years past an average OF 10000
hOmeSeekerS have passed through
Kansas City each month of the
homeSeeAnS season. Substantial
American farmers, mostly from the
middle west, with plenty Of money,
in their pockets realized from the
sale Of their high-priced farms in
other states, have refused to avail
themselves of the unsurpassed nat
ural resources which Missouri has
to offer and have gone farther west,
or principally southwest, to buy
land not nearly SO good at prices
equally as high as those that pre-
vail in the state. What is the mat
ter with Missouri? Something seri-
ously wrong, judging by these con-
ditions. The paramount duty of
every patriotic Missourian is to find
out what what is wrong, whether
industrial, political or social, and to
put his shoulder to the wheel to
gain the cooperation of his fellow
citizen in removing the cause of
the trouble.
In the opinion of many intelli-
gent citizens, there are at least two
causes for the failure of Missouri to
attain its proper place and to gain
its rightful share of the immigration
of farmers who are passing by to
make their homes farther west
One cause is bad roads. 1t costs
the farmer at least three times as
much to move his products to mar
ket on bad road as on a good one.
During a considerable part of the
at the time when prices of
farm products are highest the
country road in Missouri is
impossible to man on horseback,
much less to a wagon and team. 1t
is not an uncommon thing in this
state at such seasons to see farm
ar walking five or ten miles from
town to his farm carrying a fifty
pound bag of flour on his shoulders.
This condition alone would account
Tor the decrease in the rural popu-
lation and for the failure of the
state to get its due share of the tide
Of farmers, who are seeking new
homes farther west. Another cause
which is cognate to the first, is the
convict lease system This system
has been discarded by every pro-
Bressive state in the union, tor sew
eral reasons 1t is a poor policy,
degrading to the convicts themselves
and improbable in the long run to
the state. The system of leasing
convictS to manufacturers keeps
factories cut of the state and pre-
vents the large increase in popula-
ton they bring, because goods made
with free labor can not compete
with goods produced with cheap
convict labor. The remedy for
these conditions is plainly evident.
Put the cOnvicts to building good
public highways and abolish the
detestible lease system which in the
end is the most expensive method
of dealing with the question of the
keep and care of the states felons.
