PRISONERS ESCAPE
FROM COUNTY JAIL
Arthur Olson and John Skog, Indictet
For Grand Larceny, Break Out
From Iron Cells.

When Sheriff Hanson went to serve
breakfast to his two prisoners on Fri
day morning he found greatly to his.
surprise that their cells were empty.
It then dawned upon him that the two
captive birds had flown during the
night. Arthur Olson and John Skog,
who had been held in the Jail since
last winter, charged with robbing the
500 depot, and who were indicted for
the offense by the late grand jury had
proved that iron cells and combination
locks were not strong enough to hold
them. Their trial was to have come
off on June %.
Arthur Olson, who was confined on
the second floor, had managed in a
clever way to open the door Of his
cell. When locked, three heavy bolts
on one lever hold the door in position.
By placing the handle Of a table knife
inside the casing opposite one bolt,
the door would not lock completely,
and by prying loose a loosely held
flang On the door, it was possible to
insert "a pointed instrument between
the casing and bolt and pry the bolts
hack releasing the door. A wrench and
a number Of other burglars tools had
been smuggled into his cell by some
one. When outside his own cell, Oh
son must have gone to the cell below,
where Slog was held, and opened the
combination lock Of that door. It is
possible that Skog had learned the
combination to his cell by watching
the jailer open and close it, and could
tell Olson how to do it. Released
from their cells, both had gone to the
fire escape window on the second
floor the iron bars Of which were
held by paddock hung on the out
side. How they could open this and
Iget out of the building is mystery
Iunless they had outside assistance
The paddock has not been found.
The authorities took steps at once

MOURN DEATH OF BABY

Mr. and Mrs Clarence R. Peterson,
of McCrea. mourn the death Of their
twin baby boy, who died last Satur-
day. When their home was made
happy by the birth Of twin babies on
May ~, they little thought that so
soon one Of their precious jewels
would be taken from them. Much
sympathy is expressed for the be-
reaved young parents by their friends,
who sincerely hope that the other
child may be spared to them.

Marshall, Pennington, Pope, Big
Stone, Wright, Meeker and Wadena
Counties Vote Dry at Mondays
Elections.

By better than three to one vote,
Marshall county banished the licensed
liquor saloon at the election held Mon
day. With six precints missing the
vote stands 1914 dry to $50 wet. This
makes a majority Of 1928 which will
rather be increased than decreased
when full retuns are received. Only
two precints thus far, Oslo and Com
stock, return small majorities for the
vets.
A big fight was made in Penning-
ton County by the vets, and though
they carried Thief River Falls big,
the dry vote in the country districts
over came that and more too.
The following is the vote in detail

WE NEED MORE SHEEP.
Small Flock of Great Value to Every
Farm Throughout Northwest. :.

Minnesota and the Northwest need
more sheep. These animals are need
ed to turn waste pasture land into
wool and mutton. help farmers on
stump land; clear their farms, and
keep down weeds in the fields. along
the fence rows and on the roads.
"a small flock of sheep should be
kept on every farm" says a recent
bulletin Of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture With proper
care and attention flock of twenty
to thirty ewes can be kept at very
little expense. They will prove of in
estimable value in freeing the farm
from weeds and adding something to
the farm income. Besides providing
a supply of wholesome food for the
farm table, there will be a surplus to
sell and an additional item of revenue
in TIE form of wool"
Last year the highest price for wool
is said to have been twenty-five cents
a pound. This year wool has sold for

fact the United States is only produc-
ing about three-fifths of the wool
used by it. Dogs and stomach worms
are said to be the principal draw
backs in this country, but dogs can be
killed and stomach worms avoided by
a change of pasture. There is no rea-
son why the Northwest cannot conf
mence producing little of two-fifths
that is being imported from other
LANDS.
! Last year there was a big sale Of
Ipurebred rams at the Minnesota State
Fair sheep show. Many were disposed
of to small breeders. The imtroduc-
ton Of these pure bred animals from
other parts Of the country cannot help
but encourage the raising Of sheep in
this part Of the country. So it is
every year. Interest has grown in
|sheep to such an extent that Mimi
Iesota now has several Of the most
{ NOTED flocks In America.

to bring home to the people a real
iZation of the enormous fire loss and
anouish that follows in the wake Of

This wear il. is more important than
usual to take extra precautions
against the usual results of Independ-
ence day celebrations, because the
holiday falls on Sunday, thereby in
creasing the danger of fire because of
the suspension of business for two
days.
Independence day is one of powder
poisoning and lockiaw; day Of hospi-
tails and ambulances; day Of n1util-
alton. FIRE and death. Will it mean
all these things to your community
or perhaps your own family?
