Cave on Black River Guarded by Sheriff Posse

Thursday night about twelve o'clock
three Mexicsns, Benito Morales, Man
uel Yuoges and Mariana Garcia, broke
Jail In Carlsbad by saving the bars Of
the window on the north Of the jail.
The sheriff and = posse started about
daylight yesterday, going to Black
river and searched all day along the
river and until ten thirty last night
when they discovered some men in
q cliff or cave about three quarters
Of . mile west Of the railway bridge.
One Of the posse ordered the Mexi-
can TO throw up his hands and come
out, but the Mexican answered with
q soet from . winchester. The posse
surrounded the cave or cliff and
waited until this morning when the
sheriff left q guard and came in for
other help and supplies. Mr.. Hewitt,
the sheriff, stated when interviewed
that he was uncertain whether the
men were still in the cave as only
the tracks Of one could be found in
side the cave, but voices Of others
had been heard outside.
Morales was held for the murder Of
q companion in a drunken brawl in
Lakewood while Ynogas and Garcia
were the men who broke in and car
ried on the cash and other valuables
from the Loving post office.
The sheriff left in his car about ! 30
this afternoon for Black river and
May again come up with the Jail
breakers.

Lower Your Flag at Night

All scouts fly our national flag but
many Of them like many uniformed
adults, do not lower it at sunset, says
Boys Life. 1t is considered mark
Of disrespcct to allow the flag to hy
throughout the night.
Flags hung against u wall should
be straight or fiat, not dnped, and
the union, or star field, should be in
the upper left-hand corner to the
observer If the stripes are horizontal,
or in the upper right-hand corner il
the stripes are perpendicular.
The hymn "Thc Star-Spangled Ban
ner" is the national anthem; not by
act Of Congress, but by the recognition
given IL by the Army and Navy.
Whenever it is played. listeners should
stand. Rise always for "The Star
Spangled Bnner."

From Saturdays Daily.
1t is probable that special com
nittee will go to st. Paul Monday to
present in person to Governor Burn
quist petition OF large number OF
Mankato citizens to- be enrolled in
the Minnesota home guard. This is
the second movement of the kind
started in Mankato, the first being
that which took place at the meet
ing in the district court room last
Sunday afternoon.
The petition which has been signed
by those enrolled under the second
movement reads as follows: "The
undersigned loyal American citi-
zens of the city of Mankato, Mimi
hereby offer their services for ap-
pointment on the proposed Mankato
home guard, being all over tie age
OF twenty-six years and in good
health"
I'VE do not wish to have it though
that this second movement has in il
any spirit Of hostility to the first,
said one of the leaders yesterday
"All those who sign our petition de-
sire is to be enrolled in the Mime
sofa home guard. We are not par
ticular whether Mankato has one unit
or six. We are ready and. willing tc
be enrolled in the same unit with
those who had the meeting at the
court house last Sunday. At the same
time we are ready and willing to
have unit of our own. 1t is as the
governor and other men in authority
in the matter think best. All we are
doing is to offer our services to the
state and we took this means of do
ing it. ...... ...
I'VE do not wish to have it under
stood that nationality has anything
to do with our movement. Our peti-
ton is signed by Germans, Irish
Welsh and other nationalities All
are welcome. We want any good
loyal, reliable citizens"

St. Paul, May 5.-The ST. Paul
army recruiting office sent eighty
eight recruits to Jefferson Bar
racks, Mo-, in April, a report just re-
ceived shows. Eight of these We're
rejected. Minneapolis led the Min
nesota cities and towns, with 23S
acceptances, other towns standing
as follows: Mankato, 90; Winona,
So; Albert Lea, 54 Montevideo, 5;
Wilmar, 40; st. Cloud, 5; Alexander,
10; Worthipgton, q.
Two men from Mankato "eloped,'
that is they never reached Jefferson
barracks after being given transpor-
tation from the Mankato station. Of
ficers say they will be caught.
The army recruiting offices have
been notified by Adjutant General
Mccain at Washington to urge the
formation of fife and drum corps in
the various towns to stimulate re-
cruiting. 1t is suggested such corps
be CARRIED in continental costumes.
The report that two Mankato boys
"eloped," and failed to report at
Jefferson Barracks after enlistment,
is misleading. Although the boys who
left the service enlisted at the local
station they were not Mankato boys,
but came from another town. No
Mankato boys have failed to report
for duty after enlisting.
Seven Left Last Night.
Seven men, who enlisted in the
regular army at the United States re-
cruiting station late yesterday aft
ernoon, were sent to Jefferson bar
racks, ST. Louis, Mo-, last evening.
Those whose applications for en-
listment were accepted were Royal
j. Ryan, Raymond w. Dickemeyer,
Henry Julius, Edwin B. Marie and
Frank J. Coleman, all of Fairfax,
who enlisted in the coast artillery;
Albert F. Ecklund, st. James, in
fantry: Harold H. Nicholson, Frank
lin, coast artillery.
Private Ethan Meehan spent the
day at LIE Sueur Center, looking UP
recruits, and Private T. S. Hines
spent part of the day at Rapidan
meeting young men of that vicinity
who are considering enlisting.
