SINGLE HANDED TANNER TAKES
 CONVICT BAWLF Escaped Prisoner Again Behind the Bars and

 Surrendered.
MAN HUNT AT AN END

| SkAGWAY, Sept. 12. = Vernon Bawlf, who has been the object of man hunt for two weeks, sur rendered to U. s. Marshal J. M. Tanner and Guard Hardy yester- day afternoon at five o'clock after half hour barley. Marshal Tanner will probably take him to Juneau on the Spokane.
 Tanner and Hardy were unarmed while Bawf had Winchester rifle and large caliber revolver. At somewhat dramatic interview at Browns wood camp lasting for half hour, Bawlf protested against surrender and said that his partner in the original horse stealing crime had been out for a year while he had many years yet to serve. Bawlf felt that was unjust and broke from the Walla Walla penitentiary.
 Marshal Tanner promised to me his influence uith 1T 1niHefeq, authorities for lenienoy and ufEed that if he persisted in trying to es- cape, bloodsncd would follow, and he was too young and capable to have a murder charge against him.
 Bawlf's clothes and footwear were in tatters though he had been we'll fed. He had caches of grub which he had stolen from cabins in several places also another rifle.
 Bawlf had planned working his way down Lynn Canal and getting gas boat and escaping into Brit ish Columbia then working his way East.
 Before surrendering Bawlf told Marshal Tanner he meant to give his pursuers the first shot and said it had better be a hit because he would only need a second shot to kill.
 Hardy had previously seen BawH when unarmed and on instructions from Tanner got his promise to meet the marshal. When Tanner and Hardy approached they were hailed by Bawlf who was in ann bush. Tanner disclosed his identi- ty on request and when informed that the officers were unarmed he came down to them and the barley began.
 Prior to leaving for Skagway, Mar shal Tanner stated that he believed that. he would be able to capture Bowlf without any trouble Tanner did not believe that Bawf was as bad as painted, passing his belief that any man so considerate as to write to his mother and indicating that he was not a bad sort of son, could be taken without much trouble. Marshal Tanner stated that he intended to use his best efforts to secure leniency for Bawlf from the Walla Walla warden.
 Bawlf broke from the Washing- ton State penitentiary at Walla Walla last April and all trace of him was lost until he was spotted by the Northwest Mounted Police at Atlin. He was arrested and Guard Horton was sent north to take him back to the penitentiary. While in the Skag- way jail. waiting for steamer south boun. Bawlf made his escape.

NIGHT ATTACKS
GIVEN THRILLS
BY STAR SHE'LL
Germans Use New Method
to Light Battle Field
at Night.
FLAMES HIGH IN
AIR THROW GLOW

= ONDON. Eng, June 23.-There IS
a dramatic thrill 10 night fight
- ing which is lacking in day bat
ties. In this conflict-a war so
mighty that the imagination can
barely grasp its magnitude-thef fight
ing is continuous. Attack and coun-
ter attack go forward at night just as
in day time, and the big guns are
never silent.
The Germans use enormous GUAM
titles OF star Shells a sort OF bomb
that is shot high in the air. where it
bursts into flame, lighting up the
surrounding ground as brightly as
midday These take the place OF
searchlghts, which were widely used
AT the beginning Of the conflict
Along the horizon. from behind the
British lines one can see the dark
ness Drfcked at intervals by flashes
These are German batteries in action
hurting huge shells against the Brit
ish positions and vOlleys OF shrapnel
against the lines Of communication
between the British trenches
Back Of the British front the sky is
lighted Up as though by the glare Of
blast furnace. This sulen red glow
comes from the endless rows of Brit
ish batteries
The night resounds with the crash
Of bursting shells and the thunder of
the cannon At times there is a sharp
crackle where the occupants Of some
trench section turn loose a machine
gun against mysterious objects nov
ing in the foreground.
That men are able to sleep amidst
this uprOar shows what man can ac-
custom himself TO. With the ground
trembling beneath them from the
mighty. artillery duel and with the
roar Of guns filling the air. the SOL
diers sleep as though they were in
the solitude OF a desert.
