Will Siler Makes Escape.

Mountain Home, May 10. -
Will Siler, convicted for the
murder of Mrs. McFadden Siler
and sentenced to Fl years in the
state penitentiary, broke jail
early this morning. He was to
have gone to the penitentiary to-
day. The entire contry was no.
titled by phone, and riders and
posses are securing the hills,
searching for the fugitive. A re-
ward of 500 was made up by
the citizens of this town and
county and offered for his cap
ture. Deputy Sheriffs today left
Cotter for Hoxie and other
points on the Frisco to watch
that route.
Will Siler, with Hays Siler,
mis- father, and two brothers, Hi
ram and Gill, were placed in jail
Immediately after the trial to
await his deportation to the pen
itentiary and the others to a
wait the next term of court or
until thew could procure S., 900
bond each. -.
TORE OUT BRICK CHIMNEY
The escape was made by tear
ing out bricks at the bottom of
a fue. The flue was suspended
in an iron basket in the ceiling.
After the bricks were removed
the chimney collapsed, opening
q large hole running through into
the loft.
Siler entered the loft through
this hole, pried off a sheet Of iron
'oofing and lowered himself to
the ground by means of a rope
made of a blanket. A piece of
iron bar supposed to have been
pried fro mthe wall, was used to
do the work.
Two horses were stolen from
farmers near town today, and
are thought to have aided in the
escape. One horse was found by
the roadside after having been
ridden hard, but the other has
never been found. ~

 STOOD TOGETHER
n Consequence New York Has a
 Progressive State Treasurer
(By Geo. B. Wilcox, Acting Secretary,
 Progressive State Committee)

A matter of great interest to pro- gressive voters occurred at Albany, on February 25th.
 MT. Kennedy. treasurer of the state of New York, committed suicide a couple of weeks ago. He was democrat. His successor was to be elected at a joint session of the state senate and assembly. On joint ballot the republicans had approxi- mately ninety-seven votes in the legislature; the democrats eighty votes. the progressives had nineteen votes.
 It was evident that the democrats could not elect a successor to MT Kennedy unless they secured some republican or progressive votes Rumors began to circulate immed- ately as to trades being made, and progressives were approached on the subject. The progressives promptly took the position that they had noth ing to offer in the way of trades, or arrangements; that they proposed to select q good progressive for the place and nominate him; that they l had only nineteen votes, but they | could stand it. as they were used to | being defeated.
 I Three or four good candidates for the place appeared among the pro- gressives. The progressive members 1 of the Legislature, at a conference, considered them all, and finally de-
 cided on MT. Homer ID. Call of | Syracuse, who was the progressive
 party candidate for secretary of state
 of New York, in 1912, and is promi-
 nent in labor circles
 l When the legislature convened in joint session, for the purpose of
 electing treasurer. the progressives
 voted for MT. Call. and the demo- crats also supported him. He was
 elected; the vote standing ninety eight for MT. Call. against ninety fsix for his republican opponent l This result shows the importance of standing absolutely solid and
 fighting for our progressive princi-
