James Gleason Makes
Escape From Prison

James Gleason, one of the convicts
who recently effected their escape
from the Bismarck penitentiary, is
recalled by the Williams County Jail
officials. Gleason killed a man in
northern Mountrail county and after
confessing the crime was brought to
the Williams county jail and received
a Is year sentence. Gleason, who was
a man of 25 and a gambler by occu-
patton, did considerable boastful talk
ing to the other inmates Of the Jail,
saying, among other things, that he
had never done a days work in his
life and never intended to.
The State prison authorities have
had unusually bad luck with their
charges the past few weeks, no less
than seventeen having made their
escape in punches Of from two to
six, only few Of whom have been re-
captured. Two of the escapes discov
cred box car that had been unload
ed within the prison yards and had
a false end in it, the result of a pc
culiar method Of repairing the car that
left a space of about eighteen inches
between the old and the new ends.
Wedged into this opening they pa
tiently waited for the car to be taken
away.

the new bureau and by keeping it in
formed at all times as to the places
where men are needed and the num-
Der that can be taken care Of. When

at once so that it can reduce to a min
imum the flooding due to hundreds of
men focking to place wanting work
when only fifty or less can be en-
ployed. r

TION

Congress has just passed and the

City of Williston, the cost of repairs
to the irrigation system in the spring
of 1917, and cost of pumping water

be decided upon.

Loan and Insurance
Departments Move

To better facilitate the handling of
its growing business the First Loan
and Investment Company will move
from it's present quarters in the rear
of the First National Bank, with
which institution it is affiliated, into
the commodious room next south of
the bank, until recently occupied by
E. Van Antwerp's furniture store.
The insurance department of the
First National, under the manage
ment of Fred Weatherwax, will share
the new quarters with the loan COM
pany. The space to be occupied will
be refnished and remodelled to fit it
for the purposes of these offices. Mr..
Bergman, manager Of the loan COM
pany, expects to move within a short
time
At later date it is probable that
the additional room will be finished to
match the elegant style of the First
National and direct connection made
by doorway through the wall.

''0PPORTUNES" HOLD
ALL NATIONS even
A GAME AND A SHUTOUT EACH
FAMOUS TRAVELLERS GET
ONE RUN IN 2 GAMES

Before what was undoubtedly the
largest number of people ever
drawn to Bruegger Park entirely by
a base ball attraction the "Oppor-
tunes" and the much touted All Ma
tions played two fast and thrilling
games Sunday afternoon.
The ranks of Williston fans were
swelled by others from many sur
rounding vicinities' until the crowd
numbered between 1900 and 1900 peo-
ole. And they were all well pleased
by the showing of the local team, the
only objection being that the games
were not longer. An agreement for
two seven-inning games was entered
into by Manager Clarence Marshall in
order to be safe against the possibility
of encroaching on the time after six
o'clock. As it turned out there was
plenty of time for nine innings in the
second game and that much moro
chance for Williston to win the game,
but after the agreement was made
and the visitors were ahead it would
have been unsportsmanlike not to
stick to our word.
dividual stars who have also become
son, the negro pitcher and Mendez
player the All Nations have two play
ers who are excelled in playing ability
by not score of players in the big
leagues and the pair would be in the
leagues except for their color. The
rest of the team are all exceptionally
strong in all departments of the game.
For fourteen innings the "Oppor-
tunes" held the visitors to single
run while the local pitchers, Brown
ing and Ruyle allowed them but five
scattered hits, the run made result
ing from an error.
In the first game Williston scored
six in the 4th and two in the 5th on
combination five hits, and two err
rors by the Ans.
There were errors on each side, the
result of hard hitting, but there was
also much fast fielding and numerous
thrilling plays.
Monday the local team went to Sid
ney and played two games with the
All Nations. They were played on q
ve"v rouoh ground and were ragged
exhibitions. The Williston players
were in poor condition after the hard
games of the day before and lost both
contests, 9 to 2 and 8 to 5.
In the first of the Williston games
the Opportunes defeated the famous
cosmopolitan aggregation 8 to 0, al
lowing them but one hit and never a
possible chance to score.
In the second game the visitors put
the great Donaldson in the box to
avoid second defeat. He held the
locals to a single hit, and allowed no
runs. This was Williston's sixth game
lost this season out of forty-four play
ed, and the only shut-out they have
suffered.
