EDWIN ROSS, WHO ESCAPED

BEEN TURNED OVER TO N. D.
AUTHORITIES.

Bismarck, June 15.-Edwin Ross,
one of the Sawyer bank robbers, who
escaped from the penitentiary, was re-
turned to this city and placed under
Warden Talcott's care, Friday after
noon. Sheriff Barnes and guard w.
H. Cabanas Of the pen went to Winni-
peg and brought Ross back to this
state. For time it was believed that
Ross would fight extradition but it
seems he and his attorney saw no hope
of getting around the question, so de-
|cided to come and take his medicine.
Long Drawn Out Case.
This has been long drawn out
hunt for the escaped man. For months
after his escape from the penitentiary,
no trace Of the man could be found.
Finally clew in the description Of a
man arrested in Canada reached here.
On his conviction photographs sent
out by the penitentiary officials fell
into the hands of some one who had
seen the man convicted in the Cana
dian courts and from that time on
correspondence and measurements
have been continued until the certain
ty Of the mans identity had been es-

SAWYER BANK R0bbER
is SENT BACK TO PEN

Ross, or Macdonald, is one of the
most notorious criminals that the
Manitoba police force has ever been
called upon to deal with. While he
passed under both names it is assert
ed that neither is his right one. It is
known, however that he was born in
Ontario, and comes of good family.
During the past nine years Ross
has never enjoyed liberty for more
than three weeks or month, getting
into trouble and being sentenced as
| fast as he got out Of prison. He has
been arrested in Winnipeg several
times, the last occasion being in 1908
when Chief of Detectives Stodgill, w.
Edit and G. Smith apprehended him.
He has been incarcerated in the Jail
at Pembina, N. D., from which he es-
capped in company with several other
prisoners. On his first escape blood
hounds were used in the pursuit. The
dogs broke away from the posse and
did grevious injury to some of the
convicts. All the convicts were cap
tured with the exception of Ross and
another man. The escape was made
| in the dead of winter and Macdonald
walked to Winnipeg with the mercury
lao below zero, where he was arrested
and sent back. He was then SEN
fenced to serve 20 years in the state
penitentiary at Bismarck on charge
Of safe blowing and jail breaking.
Macdonald made three further at
tempts to escape and on the fourth
succeeded. This was on August 28th,
1912.

Folly to oppose the woman move

Editorial Overflow
OUR GOVERNOR.


Governor Hanna has given this
state a wise, economical and progress
sive administration of it's affairs.
Take it up and down and all around,
we believe it is the best administration
the state has ever had. He has al
ways advocated wise measures, as
record Of his performances will easily
prove. Farm credits banks; legisla-
ton that would aid in promoting i'm
migration into the state; good roads;
and practical plan Of doing it; state
aid to improve and give better educa-
ton to the children on the farms;
promoting better farming, and urging
legislation for such purposes; advo-
Gates converting of the legislature
every four years in place of every two,
thus saving eighty to one hundred
thousand dollars; advocates that state
officials be elected for four years in
place of two as now, thus saving many
thousands Of dollars without loss of
efficiency; advocates, and urges legis-
lation that will enable the state to
make long time loans on farm mort
cages running at per cent, by dis
posing of a portion of the common
school lands in the best settled up
western counties, and by so doing, Gre
ate loaning fund of from forty to
sixty million dollars. By it the money
of the people, the interest remains in
the state, in place of going out of it,
and every dollar of it comes back to
each school township, helping to re-
duce the heavy burden of school taxes.
When he went into Office in January,
1918, there was practically $300,0OO.OO
in unpaid bills and unpaid appropria-
tions outstanding. During his short
term as the chief executive, all these
claims have been paid. When he went
into office there were $937, 10000 in
bonds against the state, which he has
reduced to $6OO,OOO.OO. All the Irvine
bonds at the penitentiary amounting
to $75,OOO.OO have been lifted leaving
that institution and the Irvine plant
entirely free from bonded indebted
ness.
AS successful economical, business
administration, no governor has equal
ed or approached Governor Hanna's
management of the states affairs.
During his administration he has
spoken in many places, advocating
better farming; development of our
coal deposits; farm cooperation; i'm
migration; rural community interests;
state aid to rural schools, and kindred
subjects. -. 49,.
He has not made political speech
since he has been in Office.
He knows the state, it's people, and
its needs. They say of him, that al
though he has been a successful bus
mess man for the past thirty years
in this state, yet he has never sued
any man for an Indebtedness, and has
never foreclosed a mortgage. He has
no political organization behind him,
of any character or kind. Is now on
his way to Norway, to present the
statute of Abraham Lincoln to the
people of that country. He leaves his
candidacy and his record to the people
of the state. We believe the thought
ful voters both of city and farm will
give Governor L. B. Hanna an endorse
ment by an overwhelming majority at
the primaries June Oath. Thus giving
to faithful public servant the reward
he has so justly earned.
