IN FOR A HALO

Occasionally an individual among
the most undesirable arises to a
height of noble, generous self-sacri
flee that will arouse the wonder and
commentator of abiding citi-
zens demonstrating that the old say
ing, honor among thieves, is not al
together a myth. An instance of
this kind was the sensation of the
court at Conconully last week. Two
young men who chummed together in
this place several months during the
early part of the year, named Con-
sidine and McCammon, were arrested
in Oroville some weeks ago on a
charge of holding up the Hotel de
Grub clerk and the cook at the Cres-
cent cafe. They were taken to Con-
conully in default of bail and held
in confinement. Taking advantage of
what they thought to be a good OPP
portunity they broke jail at least
both escaped from Jail, and in order
to make the getaway trustee had to
be disposed Of The unfortunate jail
or was beaten up in such brutal
from the Jail break. The freedom of
the prisoners was short, for within
an hour they were recaptured. The
young men were first tried on the
charge of Jail breaking and murder
Gus assault. Considine took the stand
voluntarily and swore that he alone
was guilty. That single handed he
had overpowercd the jailor, and with
out assistance of any kind from Nc
Cannon had cleared a way for es-
cape. He claimed that McCammon had
remained passive, had nothing to do
whatever with planning the escape,
took no part in the attack on the jail
or, and simply walked out of jail af-
ter he (Considine) had escaped and
left means of exit. The jury brought
in verdict generating McCammon
from any part in the Jail break and
| accompanying assault. Damon and
Pythias had very little over Considine
and McCammon in the matter of I'M
wavering friendship. One almost feels
| that man who would calmly assume
all responsibility for a crime of this
! kind, where a long term in. the peni-
| Tertiary was staring him in the face,
deserves the sympathy of the court.
and mercy should temper justice in
dealing out punishment.

how to learn the newest strokes in
swimming-these and hundred other
topics of the greatest interest to boys
touched upon in this important de-
partment of the Companion.
And this is only a small part of the
service which the Companion renders
in any home which it enters. 1t has
points of contact with hundred in
terests.

A LIVELY RUNAWAY

One OF the most sensational runa-
ways that has supplied excitement for
the public in many day occurred
Monday. A four horse team belong
ing to G. S. Mcintosh, attached to
large wood rack, took fright from
some cause in the south part OF town,
crossing the railroad tracks at the
only available crossing, west of the
depot. and swinging into Railroad av-
enue headed eastward. BY some pro-
cess of reasoning Roy Vincent, man
ager of the Farmers Cooperative
store, decided that the runaways
would turn into the narrow alley be-
tween the store building and Buzz
Yards ice house. In spite CT frantic
efforts on the part of witnesses to
head them off the horses swung to-
ward the alley. Mr.. Vincent was
standing in the alley near the store
building, and he realized that the only
chance of escape was to jump to-
wards the ice house. AS he did so
the leaders dashed past him, fairly
brushing his clothes. The wheelers
could not swing the vehicle in time to
make the turn. and the heavy wagon
smashed into the building. The of
wheeler shot through the heavy
4:t0X6:3 plate glass SHOW window,
pulverizing the glass and landing III
the building. Strange to say when
the animals were untangled it was
found that they had sustained no in
jury. The only damage was a wreck
ed window and case of palpitation
OF the heart, the effects of Mr.. Vincent
having so narrowly escaped sudden
death. or serioua injury.

THE UNEXPECTED

Owing to the fact that the pa.
per was all made.up at the time
on the great game of football be-
tween OkanOgan and OrOville,
Thanksgiving day, we have only
to state that the unexpected
happened, and OrOville won by
Il score of 3 TO 0. 1t was the
hardest fought game ever play
ed in the county, and was won
by IL drop kick by Prince from
the 3s.yard line. OkanOgan
went on the field over conf.
dent, and the OrOviIle boys play
ed the game of their lives. The
crowd was maniacal in en-.
thnsiaSm over the result.
