Youthful Prisoner Escapes From
County Jail

Houstan Werd, age Is and said to
be the youngest horse thief on record
in the county, broke out of the County y
Jail last evening between 9 and 9:30
o clock, where he had been confined
since June on the charge of horse
stealing.
The offence that young Werd is &C.
cused of occurred near Jordan in the
latter part of June when he stole two
horses and attempted to get into Cana
da. Deputy Sheriff of Valley Co. made
the arrest.
He is described as being "A boy,

Glendive Beats Miles City

What was considered to have been
a real, fast, snappy baseball game,
was that played by the local boys at
Miles City last Sunday. in which the
Glendive team came out victorious
by score of II to 7. The Miles City
bunch got their start in the first
three innings when punched hits off
our pitcher, Bishop. and a few er-
rors gave them three runs. Bishop
was then replaced by Lyle, who held
them down from that time on. Our
boys then made 4 runs in the fourth
and in the fifth, and after that
the Miles lads did not have look in
Five home runs were made during
the game, three by Miles City. and
one each by Thresher and Lyle of
Glendive.
The Miles City battery was Isaacs
and Hanrahan while Glendive had
Bishop, Lyle and Nelson.
Gilbert, one the of Miles City team,
while running past second base
"shouldered" Captain Foss, whom
he claimed was taking too much Of
the outside and a short scrap de.
veloped.
Marshal Hill and Under sheriff
Middleton ran on the field and it is
claimed by many spectators that
while these officers were holding
Foss by both arms. Middleton took
a good. sized poke at Foss with tell
ing effect.
The usual bunch of Miles City
hoodlums then ran on the field with
bats and whatever else they could
get hands on and proceeded to mix
things up. The trouble was finally
stopped and the game went on. but
not before Pitcher Lyle. who hadn't
done a thing, was biffed a hard one
on the jaw. A local baseball en-
thusiast was heard to say that If
the Gate City boys ever again play
Miles City without adequate police
protection, it will be their own
fault"

Sheriff..
Werd being such young looking
lad was given, perhaps, a little more
latitude than would be the case with
older prisoners, inasmuch as as he was
not strictly confined to his cell day
and night. He was allowed to walk
in the corridor and as he had ALWAYS
been tractable prisoner no fear was
entertained of his escape. By some
means he had secured a small pair of
tWeezers and when the Jail attendants
were at supper, managed to turn the
corridor door key in the lock.
BY means of a stick and a piece of
wire, the prisoner reached the bunch of
keys that le. him into the Jail entrance
and then knocking out the plate glass
IN the front door, made his final break
for liberty. The breaking of the glass
was heard by people in the vicinity and
by the deputy sheriffs who were in the
court honse winding up the departure
OF counterfeiter Gray, but when they
reached the scene, the bird had
fown'.
1t will be recalled that young Werd
broke Jail at Milestone early in June,
and it was when trying to get to Can
ada that he stole the two horres that
caused his recapture at Chinook.

The Big Street Carnival A Success

That the rank and file of the popu-
lace of a city of GIendive's size and
population want an outdoor summer
amusement such as the present Business
Mems Street Carnival is giving us,
has been amply demonstrated by the
great crowds of men, women and chill
dren that have thronged Merrill Ave.
every afternoon and evening so far
this week, and patronized ''the mile
of midway so plentifully advertised
by the Altman Brothers.
Far from being an unsightly medley
of torn and Worn-out canvas tents and
cheap bunting such as some people
predicted, the show presents a most
attractive appearance both by day and
night
A most interesting and instructive
exhibit was large working model of
the Panama canal as it will appear
when completed. The model was
made of sheet brass by the lecturer
himself, taking more than a years
time in its completion.
The large portable electric light
plant was not used as it was found the
city light would be cheaper in the end.
The large Ferris wheel and the Par
ker Carry-us all were popular riding
features much enjoyed by the little
folks and great many older ones.
Large crowds of people from the
Valley as far as Mondak were visitors
during the week, Fairview, Sidney,
Savage, Burns and all other points
along the line sending in their full
quota of amusement seekers.
That the carnival left quite lott of
money in the town can be seen from
the fact that there are nearly two hun
dred people to be fed and clothed. The
actual movement of the shows from
St. Paul to Missouls cost upward of
Sc, 600, the cost of transportation from
Dickinson to Glendive amounting to
$425. The entire equipment used
amounts to 20 cars of which II are
flatcars, They carry Is wagons, 20
exhibit booths and tents and band of
10 pieces.

PERSONAL STATEMENT
BY MIR. ELLIOTT
"Why | Am Leaving the North
ern Pacific"

The newspapers have asked me
many questions in the last few weeks
about the New Haven road and the
New England railroad situation;
was to leave the Northern Pacific
and associate myself with the New
England Lines: if so, when and why;
and what thought about the situa-
ton.
These questions are natural and
proper in these days when the head
of quasi-publlc corporation is a
sort of quasi-public servant. And
the people through whom and with
whom he is to work are entitled to
know about the man and his ideas.
Most of the questions | have been
unable to answer, and cannot an
swer all of them now: but | will try
to answer some.
The directors of the New Haven
system have complimented me bv
asking me to become the chief exc
cutive officer, and | have accepted.
| realize full we'll the burdens and
responsibilities that must be carried
by any railroad executive in these
days of complex relations between
the Observation-Disclosures, State.
and Municipal;-th public that
must be served safely and reason
ably;-the owners and employees
who must receive fair treatment
and compensation for their invest
ment and labor in their effort to
produce the service the public de-
mands:-the press that is such a
powerful influence in advancing the
welfare of the country by creating
sound public opinion. All must
work to produce those results which
everyone desires.
My railroad experience has
been west of the Mississippi
River, where in July, 1880, |
began as a level rodman in
western Missouri on the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy; and my work
has been with that company. pro-
jected, built, and for many years
operated successfully by New Eng
land talent and money, and with the
Northern Pacific; both successful,
and growing properties.
| am a great believer in the
growth of the United States and of
the West and Northwest; but the
same forces that cause growth in
those parts of our country will bring
steady growth in the states on the
North Atlantic Coast, with their
varied industries and manifold ac-
tivities that reach out and touch all
parts of our country.
| take up this work with solemn
sense of duty to the owners of the
property, to the people that are to
be served, and to my family and to
myself. If ary experience and tai
ent, strength. courage and judg-
ment that may have acquired in
the West can be applied to making
better and more satisfactory
transportation machine to serve the
people of New England and to build
up and be part of a greater New
England, and to bring return to
the many owners of its securities,
shall feel that | have done some
thing to help, and be satisfied and
gratified.
| shall give the best in me to the
work, but cannot do it alone, and
must ask the support of all.
It is a regret. both personal and
official, that events have SO shaped
