FRIENDS AID FUGITIVE
TO ESCAPE Is BELIEF
cessfuI Getaway From Asylum
for Criminal Insane.

St. Peter.-That Patrick J. Gibbons,
former St. Paul commission man, who
escaped from the asylum for the Grim
1nal insane at St. Peter, had help
either from the inside of the institu-
ton or that friends awaited him in an
automobile and hustled him out of
danger OF capture, is intimated in the
report of the superintendent, r. NJ.
Phelps, to the state board of control.
In his previous attempt to escape
the superintendent was convinced that
the chef at the institution aided him,
and the employee was discharged.
Mr.. Phelps does not mention any
one connected with the asylum whom
he suspects.
A curved wire found near the out
side door may have been used in pick
ing the lock, but Mr.. Phelps thinks
this might have been planted there
as a blind, to ward off suspicion from
his confederates.

VODKA BEFORE FIRING SQUAD
Bullets Of Russian Soldiers Shattered
the Kegs Before Thirsty VIII
layers Eyes.

The Kentucky mountains have no
monopoly on moonshine whisky.
From Transcaucasia, Russia, comes
the report of difficulties encountered
between the mountaineers and the
Russian officials engaged in the pre-
Vention Of The manufacture of illicit
spirits.
A striking example of the manner
in which these officials impressed
upon the semibarbaric mountaineers
the power of authority is seen in their
disposition OF large quantity of
moonshine vodka seized in the dis.
~trict of Enzel. Y
A platform was erected in the mid
die Of the village, and upon it were
placed in rows the confiscated kegs.
The villagers we're commanded to as
semble and hidden to stand at one
side of the square.
Troops were lined up and a firing
squad chosen. At the word of COM
mand volley and then {; second vol
ley was directed against the kegs. The
bullets splintered the slaves and the
liquor ran out all over the ground.
There has been no illicit distillation

The girl he loved-and for whom he
still cherishes lingering loyalty-in-

utor to the world.
Acting upon the suggestion from the
girl he loved, Palmer informed the
sheriff, he proceeded to get rid Of his
fortune.

NORWAY.

TO understand Norway's position
during the war it is necessary to re-
member the prominent part that the
country's merchant navy is playing in
its economic life. In 1913 the total
of freights carried by Norwey's ships
in foreign trade was about SIS, 1858, 000,
while the total value OF all crops was
$60,000,000. The freights for 1915
amount to at least four times as much
as those Of normal times, and the. pro-
ceeds Of the fisheries probably to more
than twice as much as for 1918 Pro-
English sentiment in Norway is rap
idly waning, because of the difficulties
placed III the way of obtaining goods
from other countries, especially from
the United States. But it is not Eng
land alone that is imposing these
bonds, for Germany Seems to be doing
what she can, having, for instance, re-
peatedly captured neutral ships on
their way from one of the Scandina-
Wan countries to another And the
losses suffered by this country from
submarine warfare are heavy. With
in a little more than week three
Norwegian ships-the Silus, the Ian
geli and the Kannik-have been tor
pedOed by German submarines while
lying peacefully at anchor, no notice
being given in any of the cases.
Christiania now has population Of
253,0O0 The. increase for the past
year was about 1000.
The Romsdal Veksel and Land
mands bank offered 1880 new shares
for sale, and the number subscribed
for was 9,232.
A German submarine on April %
held up tho Norwegian bark Pestaloz-
ri, which was then in charge of a
British prize crew, made prisoners Of
the crew and after an examination re-
leased the bark 16O miles west of the

to take the Pestalozzi to Kirkwall.

have no complaint to make of their
food. A civilian in Germany these

must feed himself and his family as
best he can.
