FOUR MEN ESCAPE
FROM WASCO JAIL.

The Dalles, Ore, Oct. 29.-Jack AL
len, Gust Anderson, George Bolon and
w. H. Wilson escaped from the
county Jail here Sunday afternoon.
There were II men in the Jail, and
those who did not get out give this
account of the escape:
All the men had been left in the
corridor while Jailer George Joles
was absent Allen drove the men
into their cells, declaring he would
brain any man who attempted to in
terfere. With a stick of wood he be-
gan beating on the wall of the Jail
which consists of four layers of brick,
and in few minutes hole large
enough for a man to crawl through
was made. The four men then made
their escape; the others were pre-
vented from leaving by the return of
the jailer. Sheriff Chrisman was no.
titled. However, the men had got
more than an hours start when he
got back.
Allen and Anderson are desperate
characters. Allen was awaiting trial
having on September 3 assaulted
Jack Percival with razor. Ander-
son on September 80 held up a man
in box car on the Great Southern
railroad. Bolon is II paroled prison
er, held awaiting the pleasure of the
officials of the state penitentiary. His
most recent alleged crime was break
ing into the hardware store of Lane
& Sexton two weeks ago. Wilson
was a Hood River prisoner, charged
with white slavery.
1t is no surprise to anyone wher
prisoner breaks out of Wasco coun-
tvs Jail, as 1t is only u brick struc.
ture, partly lined with light sheet
iron. The corridor is plain brick
walls that cam be knocked out at the
will of any refractory prisoner.

Joker Makes Ranchers Wife Nomi-
nee for state Senate and Unwilling
One.
Dayton, Or, Oct ga strange
fact was discovered at the county au-
ditor's office in connection with the
placing of the name of Mrs. Nellie
Kenoyer on the general election bal
lot as nominee of the socialist party
Tor state senator of the Astoria, Gar
field and Columbia county district.
Warren X. Kenoyer. husband of the
declared nominee, prominent CO.
umbia county rancher, stated to the
officials here today that the first In
timation he and his wife had of Mrs.
Kenoyer's actually being the regular
nominee was on being shown a sam
ple ballot copies of which are being
distributed throughout the county.
Mr.. and Mrs. Kenoyer are well known
republicans and voted as such at the
primaries in Star precinct, wherein
they reside. In Star precinct only two
socialist ballots were cast on one or
which Mrs. Kenoyer's name was writ
ten in as nominee for joint senator.
No further thought was given by the
Kenoyers to the matter,'it being ia
ken as a Joke.
The Joker however, 1t would seem,
evidently carried the matter further
for the necessary filing fee was sent
by somebody to the state auditor at
olympia Mrst Kenoyer's name to
have due place on the ballot. Mrs
Kenoyer's case was also cited as an
instance OF commission of a misde-
meanor because the filing of a state
ment of nomination campaign ex-
penses had not been made within ten
days of the primaries.
