MEXICAN INTOXICATED.

MEAIIAN INTOAICATED.
The motive for the attack was rob-
berry, according to Pinez, who told of
the Mexican following him, beating
him over the head with an iron bar,
and robbing him of $40.
Early in the evening, Pinez, who
was under the influence of liquor, was
nearly run down by a Bridge line
street and Third avenue. Officer Ber-
~ rescued the man in the nick of
time, and sent him on his way. 1t
is presumed that another Mexican,
realizing the condition of Pinez, fol.
lowed him until a lonely spot was
reached and then slugged him.

ELUDES POLICE SENT TO
PREVENT HER SUICIDE

Chicago, Aug. 5-Eluding a patrol
of police who were guarding the Jack
son park lagoon to prevent her from
committing suicide, Miss Maud Pettes,
"a years old, a stenographer leaped
from the bridge into the lagoon late
yesterday afternoon and was drowned,
Miss Pettes left her office at noon and
mailed two special delivery letters to
her mother, and a girl friend, telling
them that she was going to drown her
self in the park. Mrs. Pettes advised
the police at once on receipt of the
letter and a detail of twenty police
men was sent to patrol the lagoon.
Miss Pettes slipped through the
guard, it is thought, shortly before
dusk. The guard near the stone bridge
heard splash under the arch. No
one was In sight when they ran up but
Miss Pettes gloves and purse were
| found on the bridge rail- Her body was
/ recovered a short time later. HeI

Columbus, O., Feb, 22.-(Special)-
Unshackled n under the control of
a single unarmed guard, twenty-five
convicts lahored a busy month to build
a model brick highway just completed
near the southern boundary of Column
bus.
Overioyed to breathe the open air
and proud of the trust rcposed in
them, the men worked without hint
of mutiny or attempt to escape al
though often widely separated.
Each day an auto bus, driven by
conVicts, backed up to the prison en-
trance for it's load of laughing, ener-
getic ''highWaymen." Each night it car
ried them back, tired but uncomplain-
ing, to the shadow of the gray walls.
From beginning to end, not one was
reported for discipline, although sew
eral of them were life-term men and
two were convicted murderers.

direction of the engineers from the

out in laying the solid foundation,
spreading the sand cushion, laying the
brick and applying the grout filler, by
which the pavement was converted
into a perfect monolith.

Up in Legislature.
A good roads bill to be introduced
at the coming session of the Ohio
legislature will contain a clause pro-
viding for convict work on the main
market roads.
If the plan to have convicts build
many of the roads of Ohio is carried
out it practically will empty the PEN
itcntiary during the daytime of ev-
cry able-bodied mar. Fol years the
Columbus penitnntiary has been re-
garded as unsanitary. 1t is filled with
tuberculosis germs and most of the
prisoners who enter in good health
contract the disease.
Governor Cox, in a message to the
legislature recommended the removal
of the state prison from Columbus to
