nun. FOR CONVICT
Reports From New Rockford and
Harvey That Starkweather
Wtns Held Prove Untrue

Prison officials have returned from
wild goose chase to New Rockford
and Harvey, whittier they were sum
moned by advice that Jesse Stark
weather, mankiller and highway rob-
Der, who escaped from local den-
lists Office ten days ago, had been
captured. In each case it was found
that the wrong man was being held,
and no actual trace of Starkweather
has been found, other than advice
from a Mclean county farmer to the
effect that he gave a man answer
ing the alleged murderer's descrip-
ton a lift" while driving home from
Bismarck the day of Starkweathefs
escape.
Starkweather, while fugitive from
the North Dakota penitentiary. where
he had been committed for highway
robbery, is alleged to have kiHen VIZ
liam Osterman on the Crowley ranch
north of Hebron, in June, 1916. The
jury which tried him for the Staying
of Osterman disagreed, but during
the trial he was recognized by Sylvan
Olson. a member of the state board
of control. as Starkweather, and was
returned to the state prison, whence
he had escaped three years earlier
He was facing a second trial for mar
der at the completion of his original
term, about three months hence.

i for the Job. The Ukrainians are ter
rible fellows. They have revolted and
declared their independence, or II
they haven't today they will tomor-
row. Then they will march upon Pc
trograd and murder us all in our beds,
and how will you feel then, you people
that have been saying perhaps there
is still chance on earth?' When the
Ukrainians have killed everybody
they will make an alliance with Ger
many and the German flag will float
over our graves. And guess that
will hold you for while.
For more than five months this
flood of gloom has been poured over
the columns of British and American
newspapers, and the Dismal Dopers
are still at it day by day, totally un-
discouraged by the fact that not one
of their melancholy prophecies has
ever come true.
For the amazing fact is that while
all these Jeremiahs are woestricken
at the approach of disaster, Russia
goes its way utterly unaware that it
is all smashed up or about to be.
Instead of getting worse, everything
in Russia gets slowly but surely bet
ter.
The shock incident to a tremendous
change in government is passing. the
people are finding themselves and per-
cCiving what they must do to save the
revolution, discipline is coming back
to the army, the dreams Of an Instant
Utopia are giving place to realities,
the new machine is beginning to
work.
Tut I suppose that if the Angel
Gabriel came down and set up in Rus
STA the most perfect government ever
known, the Dismal Dopers of the Brit
ish press (from whom we get the
greater part OF our misinformation)
would still see Kiga surrendered, the
anarchists cutting threats and the Tx
rainians marching upon us to murder
us in our beds.
think it is about time to call off
some Of these Amalgamated Sons OF
Woe and afford them much needed
rest. T'-''
They all begin with one fundamen-
tai error and then build resoiutely on
that, making the facts fit their theory.
The error is that te Russians are
totally untitled for self-government.
Why? Because they have never had
any experience or training, because
this National Council of Workmens'
Soldiers and Peasants Delegates (thc
only governing body in Russia) is
composed of low. common. ignoran,
men and because they don't speak
the English language.
No people can be considered fit to
be free except those that speak Eng
liSh or something like it.
But as a matter of fact, these men
that are steering Russia have had

The telephone bell brought the lieu

Two French officers and two LOG

There were no street signs and no
corner traffic. policemen to direct him.
Finally he got to place where there
was no one from whom to ask his way
if he had wanted to ask 1t, inasmuch
as the only men he saw were lying
bleeding on the ground. There was,
in short, quite bit of confusion, so
that any ambulance driver who lost
his way might be pardoned.
Walden rode for a minute through
a strip absolutely denuded OF vege.

of fire. Shells burst all about him.
A trench was just ahead. Several
