HARVEY STANLEY
ESCAPES FROM JAIL
Rock Creek Man Saws Bars
And Makes Getaway.
EVIDENTLY GOT OUT IN BROAD
DAY LIGHT AND DISAPPEARED.
Evidence of Outside Help And OF Plan
For a General Jail Break Found by
Officers.

Saving the bars of his cell, Harvey
Stanley, in Jail awaiting trial for sta
tatury crime, made his escape in
broad daylight yesterday and has not
since been located. Stanley was in
the cell in the morning and his abb
sence was discovered about 5 o'clock
last evening when Deputy Sheriff
W. G. Thompson went to give him his
evening meal and lock him up in the
inner cell for the night. 1t is assum-
ed that he escaped from the room
early in the day and entered the kitch-
en- of the court house through the
same window through which the 9TH
er prisoners who escaped some
months ago did and that he then calm
ly walked down stairs and out. 1t is
considered probable that the escape
took place about noon. There were
three other prisoners in the room:
Mike Ryan, a federal prisoner; Will
liam Gardner, whose trial on a sta
tutory charge is held this afternoon,
and r. c. Gregg, charged with burg
larry. None of the other prisoners
would give any information about the
escapee There is evidence TO show
that there was conspiracy for a gen.
eral break and that assistance was
given from the outside. A key was
found in a place above the ceiling
where the saw had been hidden dur
ing and after the operation of saving
the bars. What the exact plan was is
unknown. Only one bar was sawed
and the space opened was not large
enough for anyone but Stanley to
Z pass through The window was the
same thrown which two prisoners pre-
| viously escaped, but the bars have
been firmly bolted in since and cannot
be pushed out as was formerly the
{ case. Sheriff Kendall was in Boise
, at the time and Deputy Thompson was
in the office a good part of the day
t and felt safe as the prisoners were
- all behind bars in the morning.
t No trace of the escaped man had
E been found up to the time of going tC
e press. Stanley and Fay Cox of Muir
! taugh, were arrested recently on {
D statutory charge Cox is out on bono
S but Stanley, who once served a tern
g in the penitentiary for grand larceny

BOISE EXCURSION
LEAVES SATURDAY
Twin Falls Tract Plans to Visit
the Soldier Boys
RATE OF LESS THAN ONE FARE
FOR THE ROUND TRIP.
Committee Suggests That Women
Bring Well Filled Baskets or Send
Them to Boys by Friends.

An excursion with a rate of eight
dollars for the round trip, or less than
half fare, will be put on from Twin
Falls to Boise, to afford the people of
this city the last opportunity to see
the brave boys who are going to the
front before their departure to the
scene of war, leaving this city at IL
o'clock Saturday night and leaving
Boise for return trip Sunday even
ing. The train will start from Bull,
from which point the rate will be
$S45, at 10 o'clock, and stops will be
made at all stations on the Minidoka
branch. w. r. Price and b. L. Mac
Wicker are preparing to start out in
the morning here to sell the required
100 tickets to the state capital The
suggestion is made that the women
and girls going on the trip bring well
filled baskets, for while all reports
from the front indicate that the ra-
tions of the boys are substantial and
satisfactory, it is felt that they will
be more than ever appreciative OF
home cooking now and that the mem
ory of this meal on the eve of depar-
ture will remain through their expert
ence in the land of frijoles, tortilles
and tamales. The committee further
suggests that those who are unable to
go in person to convey the viands tc
their husbands, sweethearts anc
friends, make up baskets and senC
them with the others, in order tha
all who can do so may have an oppor
tunity to participate in furnishing thu
spread.
A vast crowd is anticipated, as th'
boys are being missed here by every
one and people, desiring to say good
bye, will, it is believed, not fail t
take advantage of the unusually loy
excursion rate, which will also Civ
them a days outing and will enabl
them to visit the capital of the state
while also visiting the military camp
All those wishing to send basket
are requested by the committee t.
confer personally or by telephone witt

r ACK THORPE, of Twin Falls, prov
ed the man of the hour when
j the Idaho regimental band Of
Sand Point proved to be an organiza-
tion in name only, and failed to ma
terialize at the barracks in Boise.
Adjutant General Crow faced the
possibility of having to send the regi-
ment to the front without band, but
through the cooperation of some Twin
Falls friends to whom he appealed he
was put in touch with Jack Thorpe,
who consented to head a new band to
be organized from the "roolies" at
Boise and whatever other material
they could lay their hands on Mr..
Thorpe went to Boise at once, and
was given his pick of the militia, with
the result that a few days later band
practices were going on regularly in
the shade of the trees at one end OF
the barracks grounds.
By Tuesday the band had been
whipped into presertable shape, and
Tuesday evening made its first public
appearance in Boise when it escorted
hundred new recruits through the
streets of Boise from the train to the
barracks Wednesday evening it tool

FIRE DEPARTMENT GETS
LATE CALL LAST MIGHT
Fire of Unknown Origin Destroys
House Which Was Damaged Last
January.

The empty house at 444 Second ave,
nue. West, was completely destroyed
last night by fire of unknown origin.
This was the second fire at this mousse
since the first of the year, the place
having been gutted by fire on Janu-
airy rs. No one has been living In IL
since.
About a quarter to ten last night, A;
V. Bebout, residing at 436 SECOND
Ave. South, noticed light in the
empty house next door and, upon in
yestigation found the interior COM
pletely enveloped in flames. MIR. Ly-
tle. a neighbor, was called to send In
the alarm to the department, while
Mr. Bebout connected his garden hose
for use if possible. The alarm reach
ed the station at 1000 sharp and
when the department reached the
house it was a roaring blaze which
threatened to spread to Mr.. Bebout's
home. Quick work on the part OF the
department, however, minimized the
danger and within fifteen minutes ar
ter the call reached the station, the
fire was out.
The house belonged to William II,
Muir. of Bountiful, Utah, and was not
insured. The loss is estimated at $z5o

all announcements must come from

RE-ORCANIzERS BUY
WESTERN PACIFIC
Extension From Wells Here Be-
Iieyed to Be Assured
PURCHASERS UNDERSTOOD TO
FAVOR IT'S CONSTRUCTION.
Testimony of Chief Engineer Sasche
Is That This Extension Is Needed
BY the Road.

The reorganization committee pur-
chased the Western Pacific at the sale
in San Francisco yesterday at the up
set price of $1SOO0,OOO fixed by the
court there being but one bid, and
people of Twin Falls are jubilant IN
anticipation of the speedy construc-
ton of the line from Wells, New, 1t
being understood generally that the
committee is in favor of the building
of this and of number of other iced
ers Immediately after the sale,
Joseph e. Caine, one of the managing
directors telegraphed the news to the
Twin Falls Commercial club The sale
to the reorganization committee has
been regarded as a foregone conclu-
sion ever since last Wednesday even
ing when Judge M. T. Dooling of the
United States district court refused to
set aside the order of sale on the re-
quest of the petition of the minority
stockholders. During the testimony
bearing on the case, particularly that
of Richard Sasche, chief engineer OF
the California railroad commission,
was to the effect that it would be nee
essary to construct feeders in order TO
make the road a profitable investment
at any higher figures than the price
named by the court, and specifically
named the proposed extension to Twin
Falls as one of the required feeders.
Chief Engineer Richard Sachse OF
the commission presented elaborate
analyses of the property and testified
that his figures were for the entire
road; book cost, $156, ,91S,135; Original
cost, SS7 500, 900; reproduction cost
SS5.OOO 900, and reproduction cost, less
depreciation, $70,000,000. He said the
Western Pacific was the best bull
road in the country, with maximum
grade of 1 per cent and maximum cur
vature of 10 degrees, with no snow t(
contend with.
What the road needed was feeders
he said, and suggested the following
From Niles to San Jose, Stockton u
Fresno, to the Spanish Creek territory
Winnemucca to Boise, Wells to IWn
Falls and several other points in thl
state.
President Levey said the road with
out feeders would earn over expenses
including taxes of $1,0O0,OOO per yea
normally. Paul A. Sinsheimer, stoc
and bond expert of the commission
testified favorably with regard to tn
proposed financing, saying 1t wa
wholly reasonable to believe that tn
company would earn interest on II
bonds and preferred stock. The oil
road has a bonded indebtedness
about $4,000 per mile; the new roa
only $4,000. He gave many reason
why the old road had failed and sal
the new road would not thus be hand
capped He predicted a good futur
for it.
Evans testified that of the new i
sue of bonds, $7,50O,OO0 had been tai
en- by subscribers and Sl2,5OO'OO WI
be taken by underwriters. To preveI
high interest charges only a part
the money will be called.
The commission promised a vel
early decision.

President Wilson's peremptory de-
mand on General Carranza for the re-
lease of the American prisoners held
in Chihuahua penitentiary today met
with compliance.
General Francisco Gonzales, the
Carranza commander in Juarez, notl-
fled General George Bell, Jr., tonight
the twenty-three Carrizal prisoners
would reach the border at $50 a. m.
They will be delivered to the Ameri-
can authorities at the international
bridge without formalities.
Late this afternoon it was an
nounced from the commandments in
Juarez that a message had been trans
mitted over the Mexican telegraph
which stated that the twenty-three
negroes of the Tenth cavalry captured
at Carrizal with Lem H. Spillsbury
Mormon scout, had been removed from
prison.
The message added that the men
with their arms and accoutrements
under heavy guard had been placed
on Mexican Central train, bound fo
Juarez, where they are expected II
arrive tomorrow morning.

KICKING HORSE KILLS
SHOSHONE BASIN MAN
J. Il. Wiseman Meets With Fatal Acct
dent When Horse Bucks and Throws
Him to Ground.

]. T. Wiseman, a stock-raiser, liv-
ing 25 miles south on the Shoshone
Basin road, was killed Monday morn
ing when the horse he was riding,
bucked and threw him to the ground,
and then trampled on him, crushing
in his skull 1t was several hours
before passers-by found the body,
which was lying face down in the
road. A gun was found in the hand
Of the dead man and it is presumed
that before dying he had endeavored
to attract the attention of friends by
revolver shots.
Mr.. Wiseman and his partner, Frank
Smith, parted about eight o'clock in
the morning to go in different direc-
tions and it is thought that while
riding Mr.. Wiseman's horse became
unmanageable and threw him off.
The body was brought into Twin
Falls Monday night and shipped to
Walla Walla, Mr.. Wiseman's old home
and birthplace. The dead man was
40 years old, unmarried, and leaves a

proud of the fact that they are mem
bers of Company d. and are from

signed to Co. ID. Shoshone has furn-
ished us IA men. The men are all
anxious to learn and as result are
learning rapidly.
Few complaints are heard. The
men are well fed and taken care of.
Today the cooks gave them special
dinner They had chicken with cream
gravy, strawberry short cake, mashed
potatoes, iced tea, etc. Probably
menu would show it in different or
der but ! put it down as it appealed
to me. The officers were invited to
eat with the men today, and in view of
the feed" it is needless to say that
the invitation was accepted. Sheriff
and Mrs. Kendall, Mrs. Harvey and
Mrs. Osborn, all of whom have sons
in the company, were also present as
well as Game Warden Fitzsimmons
and wife.
Tuesday afternoon Company d was
asked to furnished a picked squad
of men to help form model company
to meet recruits from southeastern
