Do you know of any one in sorrow, in
suffering, whether in poverty or in

Broken Tuesday

One OF the large plate glass win

Pitt A. Wade.
In company with her younger broth
er. Miss Wade was driving the car up
to the street curb after trip to the
Soda Springs. and had applied the
brake to stop 1t. but for some reason
it refused to work. and the wheels
were forced upon the walk By the mo-
mentum of the machine, causing the
front part of the hood to press against
the glass and crash into q thousand
pieces.
When she realized that the car was
about to cross the sidewalk. Miss
Wade attempted to use the emergency
brake. but it too was out OF FIX. and
would not respond to her efforts to
operate 1t. The crashing OF the glass
produced sensation among the en-
ployes OF the store, who were for the
moment uncertain whether the store
was being bombsrded by some un-
known "Big Bertha" or had been
struck by a Mississippi valley tor
nado.
The glass was 100 inches in height
and ITO inches in breadth, or sisxs %
feet in dimensions, The cost of re
placing II will be something like $225.
A great crowd of people assembled in
front of the store Immediately after
the accident to discuss the occur
renee. Neither the car nor its occu-
pants were hurt.

TO ESCAPE FROM
STATE PRISON

Their Absence is Dosciver-
ed.

Two prisoners of the penitentiary,
both being treated at the hospital for
disease, one of them for tuberculosis
and the other for eczema made an un-
successful attempt to escape from the
prison about IL O'Clock Friday night
As soon as it was discovered they
were missing. guards were called and
a search instituted to reveal their
whereabouts. Less than half an hour
after the alarm was given both men
were found secreted between the cell
ing and the rocf of the hospital build
ing, where they had climbed through
a cubby hoe scarcely large enough to
permit the passage of their bodies
They were ordered. like -Dayy Crock
ee's eoon,- to come down and they
promptly obeyed the command Both
were locked up.
Their plan. apparently. was to make
their way TO the roof of the hospital
and get over the walls by means of
the electric light wires which passed
over them and connected with the cor

mors on the streets this morning that
there was break at the penitentiary

DYNAMITED LAST
night POSSIBLY
BY BLACkHANDS
No One is Hurt. but Front Of
Residence is Wrecked Com
pletely. r

The residence OF Sam Richie a;
Rockvaie was dynamited by unkonwn
persons and for some unknown reason
shortly after 9 O'Clock this morning.
and the southeast corner of the build
ing was wrecked by the explosion The
furniture in the parior and kitchen was
badly damaged by the explosion: some
OF it being almost completely de-
stroyed. None OF the occupants OF the
house weer hurt. although they were
asleep in adjoining rooms
The matter was reported to the sA
thorfties here by telephone soon after
its occurrence. and Sherin Newcomb
and Undersheriff Fulkerson left at
once for Rockvale to make an investt

to discover the reasons that prompted

They returned to town few hours
afterward completely mystifed in re-

Mr.. Richie has lived in Rockvale for

months or more has conducted meat

is q member OF the miners union and
has always enjoyed good reputa-

created considerable excitement in

The house was insured for $500 In
the Agricultural Insurance Company

1t is supposed that the dynamiters
were after Sam Matora. brother.in-law

and demanded money or severe In

When a Congressman Dies
BY CONGRESSMAN GUY y. HARDY.

When a congressman dies the House

But usually by common consent the

been completed, and at about or $50
O'Clock the resolution is read. passed
and the House stands adjourned.
Nothing much is permitted to inter
fere with the business of the House.
The work goes grinding on through
the weeks and months. The House
passes laws setting apart holidays
that others may rest and celebrate and
revere the memory of the birth OF
notable men, but the House goes on
with the nations business without
resting or celebrating. The other
day the House passed bill designat-
ing Lincoln's birthday, in the District
OF Columbia, as a legal holiday. Mr..
James r. Mann opposed the bill on
the grounds of economy. He showed
that as a holiday February IL would
cost the nation approximately $625 900
each year for tine 10000 government
employees in the District. who would
be laid OF on full pay. He stated
that the House had the power TO vote
holidays for others. but would prob
ably go on working just the same.
The House evidently thinks that
the best respect IL can pay TO the
memory of the country's notables and
its own dead is 10 go on with its i'm
portant work And SO IL does, usually.
