Real Gainsborouuh,

A great dealer, now dead, once told
me that sauntering into an auction
room he observed the portrait Of q boy
In hat, ascribed to Gainsborough
He had that power of eye which can
pierce through superimposed paint,
and looking deep down into that pic
ture he felt certain that the hat was
an addition and the boy girl. He
bought the portrait for a song, to find
that his dream had come true. It was
true Gainsborough, and the likeness
of a beautiful girl. What had prob.
ably happened brings a drama before
US. Some old Squire Western had
distnherited an clipping daughter, had
pulled the Gainsborough down, and
sent it to a country dauber for trans
formation. Dash his wig and buttons
(only the oath was worse" If he would
ever look on the undutiful, ungrateful
baggage again. The picture had cost
good money, and must be kept, though
bad she had proved. It should be a

FERGUS ESCAPE

Case 0
WROTE TO RUSSIAN CONSUL

u'A6 oIeshd, Cne powerful role,
whose arrest at Blackjack and hear
ing at Bemidji last March caused
SO much midnight excitement on the
streets of the city, has been accid-
emily discovered by Frank Hoyt q
police of Albion, Michigan. steska
escaped from the Fergus Falls asy-5
lu I'M May, 10 after smashing a win
dow with a chair.
Not knowing the man was in
sane, Hoyt listened to long story
of a mysterious murder in one of
the Crookston Lumber company
camps near Blackjack, Minnesota.
Steska related in his story that one
of his fellow workers was murdered
and he (Steska- ran eight miles to
notify the Blackjack police, who
locked him up and chained him. Then
he was sent to an insane asylum,
from which place he escaped after
three months confinement, and since
that time has endeavored to interest
someone who would take steps to
bring the guilty jarties to Justice.
Hoyt wrote the Russian consul at
Chicago saying that he had evidence
of the murder of a subject of the
car. The consul referred the matter
to George Author, secretary of the
governor, who submitted it to the
state board of control. Upon reply
from the board of control, Mr.. Au-
thier sent all correspondence with a
letter to Judge M A. Clark asking
him for further information that
would tend to throw light on the
case.
The details of the case as appeared
in the Pioneer of March IL, at which
time he was committed to the asy-
1um at Fergus Falls by Judge Clarke
are substantially as follows.
He became violent on the streets
of Blackjack and was locked up. AZ
ter breaking two pairs Of handouts,
tearing the clothes off of officer
Thompson's back, he was brought to
Bemidji.
The train was met by dray with
a cot and Steska was strapped to the
cot and taken to the county Jail. He
yelled all the way out and kept the
noise up until taken out Of town at
$50 in the morning.
Judge M. A. Clark and Doctors
Marcum and Henderson were routed
out of bed and a trial was held at
a. m. The man was so violent the
officers were afraid to loose his
schackles and deemed it expedient to
get him to the asylum as fast as pos
sible. The doctors gave him NOR
phine which they said would have
killed two ordinary men and it ap-
parently had no effect. During the
fight in the Jail at Blackjack, Steska
was hit dozen times over the head,
on the ears and in the ribs with
lead billy but Thompson said that
he never even WINGED.
In speaking Of the case Judge Clark
was of the opinion that the man
would be brought to Fergus Falls
with a view of deporting him back
to the Old Country as it is very pro-
able that the man is not a citizen Of
the United States.
