EX-LIFER, "FORD BOY"
HAS A $4,000 HOME
Automobile Maker Gave a Job tC
Haynes, Who Was in Prison in
Maine 80 Years.

DETROIT, Jan. IS. = Samuel D.
Haynes of Highland Park has erected
a two family brick veneer fiat build
ing, costing approximately $4,000,
and containing billiard rooms, sun
parlors, beamed ceilings, tiled bath
rooms and other modern improve
ments'' which some might term luxu-
ries.
Which item of everyday news is re-
moved frcm very brief mention in the
real estate notes by the fact that this
particular house is the realization of
dream that came to Haynes in a cell
in the State prison at Thomaston, Me-,
where he spent thirty-nine years of his
life. Then his eighth petition for par
don from a life sentence was granted
Now he is Zone of Henry Ford g
boys "Triple-Ex, or three times
convict, one of the many whom the mo-
tor magnate has placed in positions Of
trust. Haynes is connected with the
employment department.
Haynes was arrested in Rockland,
Me-, charged with conducting a gam
bling house. A policeman named Robbins
was detailed to guard him. Haynes de-
termined to escape. He threw a short
piece of iron pipe at the guard, intend
ing to stun him while the escape was
being made, but the end of the pipe
struck Robbins in the temple and the
! officer died four days later.
/ Haynes was found guilty of murder
and was sentenced to life imprison
ment. The prosecutor in the case has
since sworn that he believed the yer
dict should have been one of man
slaughter, but Haynes's record was
against him.
| In prison he made up his mind that
not a year should elapse that he die
not make an attempt at escape.
The first year he was caught arG
placed in solitary confinement for fv,
months. The second year he tried agar
to escape, but was shot through thu
right lung and shoulder, recapture(
and put in solitary confinement TO
fifteen months.
He made another attempt four year
later His wounds bothered him cruelty
but gradually as he recovered he wa
beginning to realize that he was onl.
making life bitter for himself and 70
those friends who stuck to him.
He decided to abandon his attempt
at escape. In the last twenty years 0
his Imprisonment he made good.
He was released July %, 1913, O
his eighth petition. On July 8, 1914, h
secured employment at the Ford fac
tory. He started to realize his dreal
of really "making good. The hous
on Pilgrim avenue is the realization G
: that dream. He is saving his money t
meet the payments on the loan at
per cent interest and he has sui
stantial sum paid up.
Samuel d. Haynes, once hater {
men, has become member of a r.
spectacle community.

Erect Bridge Within Tunnel.

Engineering problems in ordinary
tunnel construction are many and diff
ficult enough, but in the building of
a subway in Berlin a new proposition
was encountered, says the February
Popular Mechanics magazine. Deep un-
foreground two unexpected beds of
peat halted progress, it being obvious
that the material was too spongy to
support the weight Of the tunnel struc-
ture, let alone that of passing trains.
To get over the obstruction the novel
idea of building two steel bridges with
in the narrow confines of the tunnel
was proposed and carried out. One of
the structures so built had a span
about 200 feet long and the other
nearly lao feet, the first time proba
bly, that bridges of such length were
ever erected underground. 1t would
have been simpler, perhaps, to have
sunk concrete piles in the peat and
erected the tunnel upon these as a
foundation, but the idea was rejected
because of the probability that acids
| in the peat would attack and seriously
| iniure supports in the course of time

WOMAN AND WAR

A Western woman doctor declares
that women are physically fit for ser
vice at the battlefront. Probably some
exceptional women may be, but are not
the majority prone to ailments which
make even household cares a burden
Hence the necessity for that great rem
edy which during 40 years has done
more than any other to relieve such all
ments and mitigate the suffering of
American Women-Lydia f. Pinkham S

Get the Habit of
Drinking Hot Water
Before Breakfast
Says we can't look or feel right
with the system full
of polsons.

Millions of folks battle internally
now instead Of loading their system
with drugs. " What s an inside bath 2''
you say. Wen, il is guaranteed to per
form miracles if you could believe
these hot water enthusiasts.
There are vast numbers of men and
women who Immediately upon arising
in the morning, drink q glass of real
hot water with teaspoonful of lime
stone phosphate in it. This is very
excellent health measure. 1t is intend
ed TO flush the stomach, liver, kidneys
and the thirty feet cf intestines of the
previous day waste, sour bile and in
dig stIble material left over in the body
which if not eliminated every day, be-
come food for the millions Of bacteria
which infest the bowels, the quick re-
suit Is poisons and toxins which are
then absorbed into the blood causing
headache, bilious attacks, foul breath,
bad taste, colds, stomach trouble, kid
ney misery, sleeplessness, impure blood
and all sorts of ailments.
People who feel good one day and
badly the next, but who simply cannot
get feeling right are urged to obtain a
quarter pound of limestone phosphate
at the drug store. This will cost very
little but is sufficient to make anyone
real crank ON the subject of internal
sanitation.
Just as soap and hot water act on the
skin, cleansing. swcetening and freshen
ing, so limestone phosphate and hot wat
or act on the stomach, liver, kidneys an6
bowels 1t is vastly more important tc
battle on the inside than on the outside
because the skin pores do not absorb
impurities into the blood, while the
bowel pores do.

INTERSTATE IRRIGATION
DISTRICTS ADVOCATED

DOYLE, December 30.-An effort
will be made to obtain legislation in
California and Nevada which will per
nit the organization of irrigation dis
,ricts comprising land in both states.
The matter is brought up by the or
ganization of the Southern Lassen
district Ebert Howard, president;
William Stefins and Herbert Smart,
directors of the district, and S. T..
Jeffreys, connected with the Federal
reclamation work in Nevada, are
making efforts in this direction.
Legislation is desirable to permit
the boundaries of irrigation districts
to include land in both states says
Jeffreys. 1T will open up to settlers
in Nevada some 10000 acres in
Washoe county.
President Howard says three other
irrigation districts can be formed to
include lands in both California and
Nevada. which would open up 100000
acres in Nevada.

HOW THEY KILL COYOTES
IN NYE COUNTY, NEVADA

Zanzibar Brown, one of the best
known trappers of the southwest,
who makes a living from capturing
wild animals on the southern desert
arrived in town last night with a
thrilling story of a narrow escape
he had from being devoured alive by
rabid coyotes, says the Tonopah
Bonanza. According to his story. he
was meandering around Butler noun
tain last night in the growing dusk
when he heard the yelping Of band
of foam-fecked coyotes, which came
directly at him. Zanzibar was in de-
spair He was alone and defenseless
save for a Winchester repeater and
shotgun, with a belt carrying less
than a hundred cartridges charged
with buckshot. a six-shooter that re-
sembled a small Calling. sinewy
pair of legs and capacious lungs.
The bowling coyotes approached
closer and closer, until Zanzibar
could feel the hot breath of the band
steaming in his face. Then the trap
per resolved to adopt an cid Indian
trick that he had learned in the
wickiups back of the Extension dump
He started to run. AS his PACE in
creased the coyotes strung out be-
hind Zanzibar ran faster and faster,
all the time remembering to keep in
a circle. Soon the enemy was at his
heels, when the fieet-footed and agile
old sport sprang to the center of the
circle, leaving the band with their
crimson-tinged fangs going round and
round in gathering momentum
until, overcome by dizziness, they
dropped in their tracks, exhausted.
Then Zanzibar hoped nimbly over
the painting bodies of the foe and
ambled back to town, where he spent
the remainder Of the night regaling
the inner man at a local saloon and
entertaining a host of sympathetic
friends with an account Of the epi-
sode.
This may sound like revised YER
son of Ananias. but it is as authen-
tic as some of the stories of rabies
that are ahoat.

LOYELOCK BURG
LARS SENTENCED

A grhy-headed, gray bearded old
man stood up in court yesterday af-
ternoon, when asked by Judge Duck
er if he had any legal cause to show
why sentence should not be passed
upon him for the crime of burglary.
and said:
4 have only this to say, your

ton to realize the enormity of the
crime. I have been a hard-working

but a few years longer. That is all"
yes. it is a sad spectacle said the
judge. "but the law does not make
drunkenness an extenuating circum-
stance and when a man deliberately
puts himself into a condition where
he is irresponsible, that does not les
sen his guilt I think you have taken
the right step in confessing the
crime"
The old man was informed that the
court bad no authority to consider his
physical condition. but that the board
of pardons could; also that the court
had no alternative but to impose an
indeterminate sentence Of not less
than one nor more than fifteen years.

At the same time a young man Civ
ing the name Of John Wright received

The two had been bound over from
the justice court at Lovelock a few
days ago and pleaded guilty in court
yesterday to the crime of burglary,
having entered a jewelry store and
stolen goods.

While this is the third day after
the Bridge street fire of Thursday
morning, the ruins are still smolder-
ing. A representative of all the in
surance companies which carried the
risks will be here Monday, when the
losses will be adjusted and the money
paid.
All safes withstood the fire in good
shape and were opened yesterday
when the contents of all were found
to be in good condition, with the ex-
ception of that of James Patten, Of
the Elite bar. As the safe could be
seen lying i'm the FIRE with its door
off. it was assumed that all it con
tanned had been destroyed, but upon
investigation the papers and currency
we're found TO be in fair condition.
While some Of the bills were badly
scorched none were destroyed. The
efforts OF several young men who
explored the ruins yesterday were
rewarded by finding several small
nuggets of gold probably having been
contained in some Of the cash regis
ters burned.
