JAIL DELIVERY;
SAVES SHERIFF

Decatur, ILL.,, June "A woman's
nerve and quick wits today saved the
life of Sheriff Frank Crook, her hus-
band, and prevented the escape OF
fifty prisoners from the county jail.
when she procured a revolver and
held off a mob of fighting men until
her husband could regain conscious
ness and quell the uprising.
Sheriff Crook and two of his depu-
ties had finished feeding the pris-
oners and the deputies had left the
iail when the outbreak occurred.
There are two sections of bull
pens" to the Jail, and while Sheriff
Crook was locking up the men in
one section he left the door to the
other compartment unlocked.
Quick To seize the chance of es-
cape, a score Of prisoners quietly
swung back the heavy barred doors
and before Crook could defend him
self rushed upn him. He was
knocked down and bound.

Through persistent efforts every
man has been cared for, as we'll as
possible. Thousands have been given
quarters in the big tent and hun.
dreds Of others in smaller tents used
in the day time for speech making
and reunions. No officer cared to
estimate the numbor OF southerners
here. There are more than 5000
from Virginia, and it is probable
that one-quarter of the total NUM-
ber is represented by the men ON

Many veterans got no further = an
one meal in camp and one look at
the crowded tents and started back
home as quickly as they could go
The real exodus, however, will not
begin until Thursday or Friday, for
thousands who might have left
sooner expect to stay over the
Fourth to see President Wilson.
The doctors were amazed at the
way the veterans withstood the un
usual heat. for it poured down in

Crook had managed to throw away
the keys to the outer door and they
landed in the dark corner of cell.
lie was searched for the means OF
opening the last bar to the freedom
of the fifty desperate men, and when
he refused to tell what he had done
with the keys a systematic effort to
torture the information from him
was begun by the leadsr of the
gang. His arms were twisted until
they nearly snapped from their
sockets and he was beaten until he
lost consciousness.
Mrs. Crook, who was in their
home, a hundred feet away from the

Will Conduct Experiments.


The expedition will make its
main headquarters on the north side
of Flagler Bay, where the powerful
wireless station will be erected, and
here, under the ideal climatic cOnd-
tions experiments will be conducted
in order to solve the important
problem of directing HertZian
waves. From Flagler Bay, the party
will sledge northward in the fall to
Cape Thomas Hubbard and then to
Axel Heiberg Land, while the
Diana returns to New York. and the
winter will be spent in hunting and
laying up a supply OF meat.
Early in the spring of 1914 the
expedition Will make dash from
Axel lteiberg Land across the sea
ice to Crocker Land. waere hc'part5
will divide into three squads, one
going nortEward, the second south
westward and the third northeast
ward into the interior OF Crocke-
Land. Studies will be carried on in
glaciers, sea ice, tidal observations,
4, soundings, and the fauna af the re-
, gio. Late in the spring, before the
/ sea ice breaks mp, the party Will re-
turn to- its base and geographical
work will then be carried on around
| ElIesmere Land and Grant Land.
The expedition will then return
to Flagler Bay, and send its reports
back TO civilization by wireless. Il
| will be the first time that an Arcti,
expedition has been able to keep il
communication with New Yorl
while in the field.
In the spring of 1915 the eXpedl
tion will return TO Crocker Land
and explore the regions north o
Parry Is and and Will climb to tn
summit of the ice cap of Greenland
A ship will be sent out from Ney
York to bring the party back in tn
fall Of 1915.
Another interesting feature, IN ad
dition to the erection of a powerful
wireless station at Flagler Bay, vii
be the establishing there of a seiS
mographie station and it is expecte
that earthquake observations q
scientific value will be made.

RUDE WADDELL WILL NOT
PITCH GAME AT NASHWAUk

Ruhe Waddell, of the Virginia
baseball team, will not pitch a
Fourth of July game of baseball
at Nashwauk with Rat Johnson, the
negro, catching. There are two
reasons, one that Waddel will not
be farmed out by Manager Shan
non even for a day and another
that his highness, Mr.. Waddel, does
not care to participate in any at
fairs at baseball where the color
line is not drawn. Waddel and
Rat Johnson would never work to-
|gether we'll. Mr.. Waddel is a per-
son Of strong likes and dislikes.
He could never be induced to fling
to an African on the Fourth of
July or on any other occasion, un-
less the one of the color were put

baseballs or eggs with an oppor-
tunity to win the fragrant Hava-

IMPROVEMENTS On
COUNTY FAIR SITE

With the improvements contem-
plated by the st. Louis County
Agricultural association on its
grounus at AlDDing thus season,
there IS every reason to believe
mat tne 81. Louis county taE
GROUNDS will be among the best
Ia the state OF Minnesota.
The biggest improvement will be
the erection OF an agricultural
building, 81 by 200 feet, the plans
ior which were received by Secre-
tary X. l.. Giffin. The erection OF
this building is made necessary to
take care OF the large number OF
exhibits that are brought in by the
farmers in this section for display
at the county fair. Last year
there was insufficient room for the
exhibits, although every avail
able foot of space in all of the
DO0tnS and the new pavilion was
used.
A new grandstand will also be
erected in connection with the
agricultural building and will be
located about Is feet further back
than the present grandstand, there
by giving more room between the
grandstand and the racetrack. 1t
will have seating capacity of over
1850. The plans also include a
bandstand.
The Duluth wholesalers and
business men will also erect a
building for display purposes.
The association will let a contract
for the leveling of the center field.

Panama

The first thought which comes to
the mind of the average person when
the question Of Panama comes up is:
cts the place Panama hats come

a great canal has been constructed. :"
Both are true; but one should
blush to admit that this. is the extent
of this Panama knowledge. The eyes
of the entire world are on Panama.
Engineering genius has planted
there the greatest wonder Of all
time. Thousands are visiting Panama
to personally look upon the colossal
engineering achievement which has
made it famous. The millions not
so favored should take every oppor-
