African Missionary Visits
With LitchVile Relatives

Litchville Bulletin: Litchville has a
visitor this week who is back to civil
lization after spending two years in
the heart OF equatorial Africa, in the
Belgian Congo state, as a missionary
doctor.
Our visitor is DR.. Thomas T. Silk
rud, cousin of our DR.. Stixrud, who ar
rived here Sunday after twenty
thousand mile trip by water and rail.
He will remain about three or four
weeks to recuperate from the ener-
waiting tropical climate. DR.. Stixrud
was here for several weeks two years
ago and is we'll known to many Of our
citizens.
DR.. Stixrud is located 1000 miles up
the Congo river, in the heart of the
rubber producing country, and has
many interesting experiences to relate.
The first four hundred miles Of the
trip from the coast is made by rail, as
the cataracts in the river make navi-
cation impossible. Above the cata'
racts the other eight hundred miles
are made by river boats. Hippos and
crocodiles are frequently seen in the
river. and once in awhile herds of
wild elephants are seen on the banks.
The doctor brought trunk full of
curios from the dark continent.
The center of population where he
is located contains about 10000 blacks,
living in mud huts, within an area of
five miles square. Skin diseases,
sleeping sickness and leprosy are the
most prevalent diseases; tuberculosis
is very rare. There is rainy season
of eight months and a dry season the
balance of the year. 5y"
DR.. Strixrud left Congo May 5 and
landed in New York July 4, travelling
almost continuously for 81 days.

Thermometer Registered liz

Thursday afternoon, little after S,
the Straus Clothing Co.'s thermometer
on the west side of the building regis
tered 112 degrees. That seems to have
been the limit the needle travels, and
possibly the temperature was really
some degrees higher. 1t is reported
that Thursday was the hottest day in
the last four years over the plains
states. However, the humidity was
not so great as for several previous
days and the great heat was not so
noticeable.
The Minneapolis papers report that
the maximum heat record was equal

Barnes County Prisoner
Escapes From State Pen

Bismarck, July 30.-Three prisoners
at the state penitentiary escaped Sat-
urday afternoon by building little bin
for themselves in the end of coal
car and riding out with the empty
train.
This is the fifth escape within two
months, II prisoners in all having
gotten their freedom; two, however,
were recaptured men who escaped
again. The largest number escaping
at one time was last Saturday, when
eight crawled through hole which
they made in the brick wall and es-
capped. Three of these were recaptur-
ed the same night.
The men who escaped yesterday
are Harry Woodwork, who was
committed from Foster county for
forgery, for one year, on Dec. 8, 1915.
He would have been out if he had not
been penalized for bad conduct. Will
liam Brunner, committed from Ward
county, five years and six months, for
burglary. Charles Tilwickie, commit
ted from Barnes county, five years,
for robbery in the first degree.
Rewards of $50 each are offered for
the delivery of any one of them into
the hands of an authorized officer Of
the penitentiary.
The escape occurred about o'clock
and the alarm was sounded. All avail
able prison officials were out at once
and at an early hour this morning it
was believed a clue was being fol-
lowed that would result in the early
capture of two of them.
Charles Tilwickie was one of the
four men who perpetrated a holdup at
the high line depot last fall, boarding
a freight Immediately after and hold.
ing up the laborers on the freight.
They made the mistake Of riding the
freight to jamestown, where they were
captured within a few hours. They
were a bunch Of bad men and it Is to
be hoped that Tilwickie will be cap.
tured soon.
