FROM PRISON
Railway Officials and Far
go Police Notified To Be
On the Lookout
SECOND GETAWAY
IN THREE YEARS
If Caught, Will Finish Sen
fenced and Be Tried for
Manslaughter

Special agents of the Northern
Pacific, Great Northern and the Far
go police were advised this morning
of the scape of Jesse Starkweather,
alias w. G. Starkweather, 25 years
old, from the state penitentiary at
Bismarck, his second escape from

Starkweather was received at the
penitentiary from Divide county and

years sentence for grand larceny IN
mobile. He is described in a mes
sage received by Special Agent
George d. Mcdowell of the Northern
Pacific as being five feet, seven
inches in height, and weighing about
lao pounds. A reward of 500 has
been offered by Warden Talcott for
his capture.

If apprehended, Starkewather will
not only serve the balance of his
time for grand larceny, but will
the charge OF manslaughter for the
alleged slayer of William Osterman,
on the famous Crowley ranch, in
Mercer county, a year ago last June.
After the jury which tried Stark
weather at Mandan, in Morton
county, had disagreed he was identi-
fed by Sylvan Olson, member
of the state board of control, as a
convict who escaped from the peni-
tentiary three years ago and was re-
turned to the prison to complete his
sentence.
Because of the success which, off,
cials at the state institution have had
in running down fugitives. 1t is be-
Iieved that Starkweather' freedom
will be short Upon the completion
of his time in the state penitentiary,
it is said that he will be retired for
the murder of William Osterman, at
Hettinger, a charge Of venue having
been taken to that district.
The case originally came from

Herbert G. Hoover, ma

denies that he has ever pro-
posed a price of $1.65 a
bushel for wheat.
In a telegram to The

declares that Congressman
George M. Young, of North
Dakota, whose telegram to
Morton Page, Fargo, last
Monday aroused north
west farmers as never be-
fore, appears to be under
an "entire misimpression"
and that he, Mr.. Hoover,
has not,and does not intend
to suggest a price to the
price fixing board,
Mr. Hoover also charac-
terizes the price fixing
board as composed of
men in whom the whole
country should have COM
plete confidence to make a
determination in the inter
ests of a nation now engag-
ed in a life and death strug-
gle for its very existence"
Mr.. Hoover also adds that he as
eunes that the farmer no more
wants to bleed the consumer by OBJ
tanning more than a fair price than
he wants to be bled by the producers
az coal and other commodities who
are being asked to maintain fair
prices"
Mr.. Hoover agrees that the FARM
er must receive just return for his

Mr.. Hoover's denial OF Congress-
