Regarding Oiling Streets.

The car Of oil ordered for street
oiling purposes was shipped on
time but went astray and when
it reached here a week ago, il
was too late to apply it and the
order was countermanded by
mayor Hill. The oil company
was not inclined to allow refusal
of the tank of oil, claiming that
the matter was between mayor
Hill and the railroad. Mr.. Hill
adjusted the matter by agreeing
to place an order for a tank OF
oil to be shipped in April. The
money contributed for the oil is
in bank and drawing interest
and will be applied to payment
for the tank when it arrives and
can be used.

SUSPICIOUS ESCAPE
Dennie Chester Eludes Detective
A Former KeytesyiIlian
Probing Case

Dennie Chester is the alleged
slayer Of Miss Florence Barton
in Kansas City Oct. 2. Miss
Barton and her Alliance were
out in coupe riding about IL
O'Clock at night. He stopped
to light a cigar. Another car
drove alongside and three men
appeared, one of whom asked
the way to some point not dis.
tant. Howard Winter, escort
of Miss Barton replied and
reached into his pocket for a
match. The bandit shot at him
and wounded him and another
shot struck Miss Barton and in a
few hours she died. The man
jumped into the car with the
others and fled and Winters took
the wounded lady to a grass
plot in a yard at some distance,
awakened the owners of the
property and a doctor was sum-
moned who reached the scene
just as the young lady died.
Hunt for the murderers located
one at Green Falls Neb. accord
ing to the police and a Kansas
City detective. Everett Beas.
ley was returning with the pris.
oner, Dennie Chester and alone
with him in the state room of a
! Pullman, detectives Farrell and
Boyle bsiDg out in the car on the
lookout for probable rescuers of
the prisoner. Chester, it is al
legged, jumped thru the double
windows Of the car, landed on a
cinder pile rs the train was pull
ing outof Broken Bow Neb. and
made his escape in spite of the
fact that the tgaia was immed-
lately stopped and the detectives
and the sheriff of Custer county
and a big possee started on his
trail.
Everett Beasley was raised
in this city and was implicated
in the hold-up of James S. Chap.
man in 1883, a negro boy being
also accused and sentenced to the
pen, Beasley escaping in some
manner.
The chief of police of Great
Falls says Beas!ey, Farrell anG
Boyle are unfit to be officers
and intimates suspicion that an
investigation might disclose
more than carelessness thru
which the prisoner made such an
easy escape. Blood hounds
have been set on the trail but if
Chester had sunk in a sand hill,
he would not have more com.
pletely disappeared.

GONVICTS CAPTURED
Life Termers Attempt Escape
Guard and Convict Shot
None Escape

Four convicts in the Mo. pen
itentiary, two life sentenced,
undertook Monday evening to
make their escape. They Sc
cured a skeleton key and got
from their cells and also unlock
ed the cells of sc other convicts.
The four overpowered the guard
on the third floor, secured his
revolver, then dashed to the
second floor of the building
where a guard headed them off
from getting out, They shot
him and got his revolver and
made for the other end of the
hallway, clearing the guard at
this point and getting out in the
yard. The scheme was the
same used by convicts undertak-
ing to escape some time ago but
did not work so well. Coal cars
are run up an incline and into
the prison yard, made fast to
the track and brakes locked
while unloading. One of these
cars was in the yard and it was
the purpose of the fleeing men
to loosen the car, start it down
the incline and its momentum
would smash the big gate and
let it thru with the men in it.
Once outside it was up to each
of them to make his getaway.
In this instance the convictS
found the car chained to the
rails so securely that they could
not start it and a fusilade CT
shots from guards on the walls
who had heard the genera
prison alarm as we'll as sent aft
er the men by other guards
made things too hot and hands
were thrown up and surrender
The thirty six men made no at
tempt to get ~out of the Gel
building under the circumstan
ces.
Earl Hunter, under life sen
tence for killing a st. Louis po
liceman was shot by one of the
guards, bullets penetrating his
neck, serious wound but moi
fatal and Chas. Galosor, a guarC
on The third floor was badly
beaten with a bottle before he
would let loose of his gun anC
William Laughlin, guard on the
second floor was served the
same way, both being gagged
and forced into cells which were
locked on them and guard Will
liams on the first floor was shot
in the arm and breast by Hunter
and duobtless would have beer
killed but for a trusty coming tt
his rescue. The names of the
four convicts undertaking es
cape are Earl Hunter, life con
vict for killing a st. Louis police
man, Jess Barker, in for life

Farm Bureau Notes
Live Stock BreeCers Meet

Live STOCK BreeCerS Meet
About thirty live stock breed
ers met at Brunswick yesterday
and brought to life the Live
Stock Breeders Assn. which was
organized about the time we
had to 90 to war, and which was
allowed to lie dormant until now.
New officers were elected and
steps will be taken 20 put on a
working program within a very
short time.
There were thirty three for
mer members reported who paid
up the first time the former
meeting was held.
Only a few of the former
members were present, but We
want them to show up at our
next meeting, and all get into
the harness for better live stock
in Charlton county.
Executive Committee of the
Farm Bureau Meet.
The executive committee Of
the farm bureau met following
the live stock meeting, and they
are soon to be ready to employ a
county agent. They want him
on the job by the first of the
year.
There seemed to be wide in
terest in getting man on the
job at that time as there are q
great many things that should
come up for consideration at that
time.
The committee are 10 cores
pondence with at least three
men who may be available, and
1t is decided to write a letter to
all members who have not paid
their dues, to do so as soon
as possible that there maY
be no hitch in the work.
1t will be recalled that the
memberships became checks
against the signors account in
bank, or most Of them were
that way, but it was decided
that it would be best to not
consider that at this time since
the money has not been called
for until now.
The treasurer was instructed
to prepare and send out this
statement and letter.
| At this time of stress every
farmer should recognize his
duty at this time, and get busy
and do his full part in helping to
correct a lot of the wrongs that
we are enduring right now.
1t can safely be said that if
the farmer will not fight his owA
battles that no one else is going
to take up the job for him. We
are counting on every red blood
ed farmer to help.
Very eanestly YOURS,
Executive Cnmmitkaa.
