FROM
SHELDON JAIL

Sheldon, N. D., July 16.-There is
quite a mystery surrounding the es-
cape of Pete Stoill, who was held in
the Jail at this place on the charge of
having taken package from a post
office box that did not belong to him.
The authorities here would give a good
deal to know exactly how the man got
away as he apparently evaporated into
thin air and left no trace as to how he
went or where.
Stoill, who is believed to be a Pole.
was arrested by the marshal Of this
place on Tuesday afternoon on a
charge OF having taken a package from
box at the postoffice and articles
We're found in his possession that were
believed to have been in the package.
He was in the Jail on Wednesday
morning but when the officers went to
take his dinner to him they could not
hnd him. although the Jail was still
locked. There were no bars cut and
nothing else that would give any idea
as to how he made his getaway.
The authorities are Of the opinion
that he had pals on the outside who
picked the lock of the Jail, let their
friend out and then locked the cell
again. This is the only explanation
that seems to fit the case at all,

FOREST FIRES
PREVENTABLE

Washington, July 16.--With the
opening of the season OF fire danger on
most of the national forests, the forest
service is sending broadcast a warning
that more than half of the forest fires
in the United States are due to care
lessness or other preventable causes,
starting from campers, railroad loco
motives, brush burning, incendiariess
and Sawmills.
This statement is based on an anafy-
sis Of statistics compiled from the for
est fire records Of the last season, when
more than 1000 fres were reported on
national forests alone and approx
mately 10000 on state and private
holdings in the eighteen states which
received federal cooperation in fire
protection under the Weeks law, name
ly, Maine, New Hampshire. Vermont,
Massachusetts,, Connecticut, New York,
New Jersey, Maryland, West Virginia,
Kentucky, Michigan. Wisconsin, Min
nesota, South Dakota, Montana, Idaho,
Washington and Oregon.
Forest fires destroy millions of doll
lars worth of timber and other prop
erty every year, and in some years
cause considerable loss of life 1t has
been estimated from the best informa--
ton obtainable that forest fires last
year burned over an area of approx
Hately 100000 acres with total loss
or at least $9,500,000.

Hendrick took occasion to comment
unfavorably upon the action of the
alienists who assisted the state in pre-

expert witnesses in court.

+ Thaw, sitting comfortably in his
chair, his counsel on each side and his
mother and his sister a few feet be-

anticipated the courts decision with a
broad smile.
I want to say a word about the
alienists" Justice Hendrick continued,
I'VE have been told by one alienist
that it is impossible to determine the
sanity or insanity of person without
taking the word of alienists. This
court and Jury cannot depend upon the
word of an alienist who for years has
devoted himself to a case of this kind

then go on the stand as an expert wit
