Judge Williams Unopposed.

he many friends OF Judge Fred
l.. Williams i'll his district will be
pleased to note that he has no op-
position in the primary election to
succeed himself as judge of the SUI
preme court of Missouri Division No.
:, for the full term.
Things like this don't just hap
pen. The position is one of honor
and if Judge Williams has no opposi-
ton for the position i'll the Demo-
cratic party in the state, it is ex-
planned by he fact that he has made
such good official that those who
would like to have the place feel that
it would be futile to oppose him.
1T is a high compliment to Judge
Williams, but it is not higher, than
he deserves. His record on the su-
preme bench, four years as COM
missioner and for the past three and
one-half years as judge, has been
all that those of us who know him
best had expected it would be. which
is saying much. He is splendid
Judge, an exemplary citizen. a man Of
culture and refinement without being
spoiled by high brow mannerisms or
ideas, and his reelection is as near
a foregone conclusion as anything
can be in politics. Joplin Globe,

SHEAD ATTEMPTS TO ESCAPE
FROM "PEN"
Man Sent to the Penitentiary From
This County in Spectacular At
tempt to Gain Liberty

Jefferson City,. June 13;-Three
prisoners at the state penitentiary
"out-movied the movies" last night,
risking their lives in sensational
dash for liberty. ..
1t was after the lights i'll the cell
houses had blinked out, leaving the
L;ison inclosure in darkness save iJr
the space nearest the wall, which
were lighted brightly by big lamps
shining far above.
Suddenly, there was low rumb-
ling sound from the direction of tn:
prison power plant. 1t was caused
by an empty coal car slowly gath
ering speed at the top of an incline,
where it had been unloaded the day
before. In the car were three con-
victs. i,
Down the track it came, headed
for a gate in the prison wall, its speed
increasing at every foot.
With a crash it hit the gate and
went thru, but the force of the inn
pact also threw it from the track and
it overturned. Two prisoners leap
ed off and started for the darkness
beyond the rim of light from the
prison arcs.

of the prison, overlook one of the
convicts, covering him with a pistol.

sentence for the murder of a deputy
constable who had placed him under
arrest for robbery. The second pris-
oner, William Slender, managed to
get away. He was serving a 10 year
sentence for robbery committed in
St. Louis.
The third convict in the daring at
tempt was Ora Lewis, a St. Louis
gunman, who killed policeman III
that city when he was caught in the
act of robbery.
The escape was plotted with all
the care and patience that convicts
are capable of and they probably had
been working on the details for
weeks. They had had keys made for
their cell doors and when J. H. Tol-
ley, a night guard, passed their cells
last night on a round OF inspection,
they jumped out. choked him into in
sensibility, took his keys and got out
OF the cell house. From there they
made their way to the coal dump.
This was Shead's second attempt
to escape. On the former occasion
after he had managed to scale the
walls he was met by confederates ir

ed that he had gotten away. but he
was afterwards captured and taken
back to the penitcntiary.
