The above letter to Sheriff. Bonde
from the shsrifr Of Cass county. Neb.,
confirms the report that one of the des-
psrats criminals who killed the warden
and deputy warden and q guard at the
state penitentiary at Lincoln and made
their getaway, only to fall victims
themselves to the bullets Of their pur-
suers. was none other than the man
who struck Sheriff Bonde last summer
with club and made his escape from
the Kandiyohi County Jail.
The prisoner in question was Thomas
Dowd, alias Roach. He was recently
sentenced to the pen for 20 years for a
bank robbery. In the prison he speed
lily made plans for escaping, and it is
thot the firearms were struggled to
them by women who pretended to be
prison workers bent on reforming the
men. On Thursday, Mar. IA. with two
companions, he shot the deputy warden
and the turnkey, and when they failed
to get the keys, blew off the locks with
explosives. Before making their escape
at the entrance of the jail they shot and
killed the warden and an usher who
came rushing out from their offices on
hearing the shots. A terrible snow
storm was raging, and under cover of
the snow, the bad trio made their es-
cape.
Militia and sheriff's posses were on
the trail without delay. Nevertheless

had compelled his mother to give them
food and shelter. They then compelled
the boy to hitch up the milk wagon and
take them to the station. While laying
in the box under the cover they had the
boy covered with their guns, and he
dared not give the alarm, altho the
chief Of police came out to the rig to
help him get thru a snow-drift with his
load. At the station the men got out
and succeeded in boarding train. The
next alarm came from fifteen miles
south Of Omaha on the Monday follow.

a team and wagon. The pursuers came
within sight of the fleeing rig after ar
eight mile chase and a running fight was
kept up for three miles, shots being ex.
changed. The robbers had only shot
guns and revolvers and could not reach
their pursuers. The first victim was
the innocent farmer who had been com
PEELED to drive for the robbers. This
halted the fleeing rig and the pursuers
were able to take deliberate aim. DOVE

for eighteen years. has been granted
a leave OF absence for one year, and
will go abroad, the Board of Regents
to pay his travelling expenses while

This is the first leave OF absence
Professor Stubbs has ever had. He
is to be retired from service on Il
pension at the end OF his leave OF
absence. Some time ago he resigned
his position, but the resignation was
not accepted.
1t has been suggested that Herbert
Winfield Hill will be the successor
to Professor Stubbs as Pre- sident.
but the Regents say there has been
nothing at all done toward selecting
successor.
While il is impossible TO verify
this telegram in this city owing t"
the fact that the Regents OF th,
University are not here il is even
possible that such program j.
mapped. Word from the Regent, on
this subject will be awaited with
interest. As Mr.. Stubbs has de
parted on a trip East no veritcation
OF the report is available.
Governor Oddie on being asked
if he knew anything OF the above
stated that it was all foreign to
him and that the matter ii in any.
