being hidden in Bismarck until
a favorable opportunity for a
getaway presents itself.
Talcott Quits His Job.
When Warden Talcott was
told of Noah's escape he called
Chairman Brown of the board
of control at II p. m. Saturday
requesting him to come to the
penitentiary. When Brown ar
rived, Talcott's resignation was
'sasying on the warden's desk.
Broth Brown and Talcott are
Hanna appointees.
|. Governor Frazier has official
ly offered a reward of $40O for
the capture Of Noah and $500
for the capture of Mylo. These
rewards will be supplemented by
an additional 500 for prisoners
from the penitentiary fund for
that purpose.
Note: Joe Mylo will be well
remembered throughout Botti-
neau county as. he and J. Miller
murdered J. N. Karst, near
Lansford in the fall of 1914. The
district court of this county af-
fixed the penalty for Mylo at
death by hanging but this was
later commuted to life imprison-
ment.
Later-Joe Mylo was captured
at Staples Minnesota, Tuesday
and is again back in the peniten-
tiary. Mike Ulick, who escaped
with Mylo was also captured on
Tuesday in Bismarck.

Bismarck, Dec. 9.-Following
the escaping Of three convicts,
two murderers and another pris-
oner, from the state penitentiary
here in three days, Warden F.
Talcott gave up his post and re
signed a few minutes after mid
night Saturday. Deputy War
den Charles Mcdonald has been
placed in charge until a success
sor is named.
Second Delivery in Year.
The escaping bee, which is the
second to occur within the last
year, was begun Thursday night
when Joe Mylo of Bottineau,
who was serving a life sentence
for murder, marched out of the
gates accompanied by Mike Ul-
ick, who is serving a 25-year
sentence. Ulick escaped once be-
fore but gave himself up after
being gone 18 months.
d. M. Noah, who was three
times sentenced to hang for muir
der, but whose sentence was au-
tomatically committed to life by
the abolishment of capital pun
ishment, made his getaway at 9
o'clock p. m. Saturday.
Noah, as we'll as the other es-
capped prisoners, was refused a
pardon at a meeting of the par
don board last week. altho he was
strongly recommended for Glenn

and former Warden Frank He'll

Bismarck, Dec. 9.-Voting 3
to 2 on the seven proposed con-
stitutional amendments initiated
by the people at the last election
and approving unanimously the
three amendments referred to
the people by the last legisla-
ture the state canvassing board
declared all ten measures adopt
ed and passed.
Secretary Of State Thomas
Hall and Treasurer John Steen
formed the minority which op-
posed the adoption of the initi-
ated amendments on the basis
that they had received a major
ity Of the votes cast for and
against them Attorney General
LANCER, State Superintendent of
Education Macdonald and Audi
tor Kositzky defeated the at
tempt Of Hall and Steen to de-
clare the meaures lost. AS each
amendment was voted on separ-
ately Hall moved that it be de-
clared lost. Steen who was act
ing as chairman in each case
seconded the move.
Following the publishing of
Attorney General Langer's opin-
ion, Theodore Koffel, attorney
and secretary of the Independ-
ent Voters association and AT
torney w. H. Stutsman of Man
dan, spent the remainder of Sun
day closeted with Secretary of
State Hall and Treasurer Steen,
searching thru law books.
It was rumored they would at
tempt to secure an injunction
to prevent the canvassing board
from acting on Attorney Gener-
al Langer's opinion in regard to
the amendments. Apparently
they could find no law to the con-
trary since the rumored threat
failed to materialize.
With the action Of the can
vassing board in declaring the
three amendments referred to
the people for adoption, as car
ried, these measures became i'm
mediately a part of the constitu-
tion of the state. The other sew
en- measures will now go before
the legislature at the coming
session for adoption by that
body, after which they will be-
come a part of the constitution.
BY availing themselves of the
existing joker initiative and
referendum law which was Civ
en- the people by the old gang
politicians in response to a plea,
the farmers of North Dakota
are now within certain reach of
the economic betterments they
have been asking, in vain for 20
years. On Nov. 5th they ex-
pressed themselves ranging in
majorities from $4,000 to $4,000
as favorlng immediate estab-
lishment of a state owned ter
minal elevator, state owned flour
mills and such other marketing
facilities which VII tend to
equalize the economic burden. !.
BY adopting the so-called
s.debt limit amendment they
have provided themselves with
the means Of erecting the ele-
vators and mills.
In this they gave the answer
to the question Of ''whv did Gov
ernor Fra14.. w. ..4s .~----4ilal

last session." That bill, like all
its predecessors carried an ap-
preparation insufficient to sue

For the period of the war the Par

ing strawberries as unessential, and
after the harvesting of the crop next
spring from the plants already set
out the raising of this fruit must be
discontinued, for commercial pur-
poses, until after the war. The agri-

and r. A. Kent, after making a sur
vey of the food situation and the crops

which have been adopted by the par

sential crops as follows:
Essential: Corn, oats, beans, peas,
hay, sugar cane, sorghum, rice, sweet
and Irish potatoes, soy beans, velvet
beans, peanuts and a limited amount
Of wheat The raising of cotton, car
rots, tomatoes, cabbage, okra and mel
ons are recommended after the de-
mand for those classed as essential
have been filled.
The nonessential crops are declared
to be strawberries radishes, lettuce,
cucumbers, peppers and elephants.
While these crops are not to be elm
mated as far as home consumption
and local markets are concerned,
their production for shipping is to be
