as he made an outcry which was
plainly heard about the building. Dep

linemen employed by the st. Louis
Power company took up the chase
when Witte left off. Bartol was bad
ly winded and seemed to keep his
feet with difficulty when he passed
the linemen, who did not realize the
situation until Mr.. Witte came up.
Bartol continued on and reached cover
on the Auburn hill.
A detail Of police from headquart-
ers and the entire force of deputy
sheriffs at the courthouse were on
the ground within fifteen minutes aft
er he disappeared in the woods, the
Eveleth and Gilbert police were mott
fled, automobiles in charge of officers
patroled all the roads and citizens
of both this city and Eveleth joined
in the man hunt, but Bartol success
fully concealed his hiding place.
Previous to his arrest following his
indictment he successfully eluded the
officers for some time and when ap-
pretended at Ely mere chance came
to the aid of the officer who picked
him up in a boxcar and held him on
suspicion.
The deputy sheriffs are confident
he will be recaptured, but if he is at
large at nightfall his chances for cs-
cape will be considerably improved.
He is unarmed and was bareheaded as
he left the Jail. He wore a brown
suit Of clothes and khaki shirt. De-
scriptions of him have been sent
broadcast over the range.

AMONG STUDENTS AT SCHOOLS
Nine cases Of small pox have been
developed among children attending
the public schools. All of the cases
are manifest in the type known as
variloid and have been placed under
quarantine restrictions. Five more

the attention of the school board at
it's regular meeting Wednesday and it
was practically decided by the board to
hire visiting nurse as result. The
cost is to be looked into.
