ADJUSTMENTS
Empress,


 Helter Skelter is the name of the little skit which was up for it's initial at the hands of the Bowker Tabloid Musical Comedy Co. last evening and which will run for the first part of the week. AS it's name designates, it is an accumulation of fun, arranged and presented for the sole purpose of mak- ing the audience laugh, and it succeed ed well in it's mission. The comedy lines are handled by Jimmie Gibson, as an Irish character and William Lawson up for Hebrew work. These two gentlemen have long since demon strated their ability in their particular lines of endeavor. and the present off ering gives them both opportunity for producing laughs, which they do with rush. The song numbers aside from being the latest hits, were put over in manner that leaves nothing to be de- sired. The chorus worked with a snap that added materially to all the num- bers.
 The moving picture program is en- tirely new. an especially pleasing sub- ject being a scenic release from the Pathe studios showing scenes through Montana. laying especial stress on the mining scenes in and around Butte The Vitagraph representation was in the shape of a drama of the highest order.

TWO MORE COnWCIs
 GIVE JOE BUSH THE SLIP.
Roy Barrett Much Tatooed and Texas Thompson Escape From Wood
 Chopping Detail.

Roy Barrett and Tex Thompson, two prisoners confined in the stock ade a Tempe, made their escape yes terday afternoon and up to a late hour this morning had not been cap tured. The two men were detailed yesterday afternoon to go out to the river bank for the purpose of cutting wood for the cook house. After leaving the sight of the guards they threw down their tools and made break for liberty. They took to the water and thus threw the guards off the track
 It is supposed that the men had outside assistance and were enabled to change their clothes. This fact alone will make their recapture very hard

 scription of the men. The following
 is the description as given by the pententiary authorities: Roy Barrett. American, dark complexion and hair,
 height about feet l inches, and is covered with tatooing, has the nude figure of a woman on the forearm with an anchor, and has an American Eagle on his chest. Tex Thompson is about 5 feet II inches in height light complexion and hair and has nc marks on his body.
