Along the rest of the front also,

the Russian armies. The latter, hard
pressed at many points, continue an

the Teutons are sending reinforce

Fort Madison, Sept. 1S.--George A
Williams aged 66, one OF the trusted
prisoners serving sentence in the peni-
Tertiary at Fort Madison, escaped from

evidently received assistance from an
outside source.
Because of his age and his past

He slept there and for the past year
has not been in the prison more than
two or three times. On Thursday
morning when other prisoners work
ing ON the farm went to their tasks
in the field Williams was left in
charge of the house and the chickens.
He was not missed until shortly after
the noon hour. Then the only suit OF
clothes he was known to have was
found hanging in the closet and he
was absent.
His clothes gave the first suspicion
that he had decamped. 1t Is on them
, the officials base their theory that he
had help from other sources.
Williams was serving a sentence OF
life for murder In the first degree.
having been admitted to the prison
April ~, 1900, from Creston. His
crime was that of killing the sheriff
of Union county. An attachment had
been levied against his property and
he threatened to kill whoever came
to enforce it. When he saw the sheriff
approaching he took down his shot
gun and killed him as he came within
reach of it. He is yet man OF some

Newton, Sept 1S.--Occasionally a
story In some newspaper Is so good
that it sounds impossible but here Is
one that is so remarkable that we
wouldn't believe 1t IL 1t we're not right
here at home.
Jake Trotter had SOW on his farm
ten miles north of the city which had
ten little pigs. One of the pigs died.
then the mother died. Mr.. Trotter
had no other SOW with pigs and had no
way or raising them so he told Mrs.
Mary Scott who lives acros the road
from his place that II she would raiee
the pigs she could have them
Now Mrs. Scott has a bull dog which
had little of new pups and she fig
would nurse the pigs so she took the
litter and was right.
The pups We're taken from the bull
dog and the pigs put in the place OF
them and it Is some sight to see the
dog and her litter OF pigs
1t is not strange that the pigs will
go where there is food because they
were SO young when they were trans
ferred.
However. 1t seems very strange that

Mr.. Trotter says the mother instinct
in the dog is very keen and she
watches over her brood of pigs so
closely and so assiduously that 1t is
dangerous for anyone to try to get
hold of one of them. When one OF the
pigs gets too far away the dog goes
after it and grabbing it by the back
of the neck brings 1t back.
