Helena. March 1o.-Although the
governor, IN his call for the extraordi-

as long as the getting was good
When II. b. 8, 'appropriating 5000
for the per diem of members OF the
assembly, came from the committee on
appropriations Alex Fairgrieve, OF Car
bon county, moved that it be amended
70 provide for the mileage and per diem
Of the members.
C. c. Conser Of Fallon said this was
a little velvet which the members did
not want.
FIathead Man Opposed.
T, Fl. Macdonald of Flathead county
opposed the amendment on the grounds
that many who probably were entitled
to mileage had been paid for three days
time when they were not serving and
had been amply recompensed.
T. f. Mcdonald Of Silver Bow, said
the boys were entitled to the mileage
under the constitution and that they
wanted it. The amendment was then
killed but later when the measure was
brought up in committee OF the whole
Fairgrieve again moved the amend
ment.
7. II. Macdonald then held that the
constitution would not permit the pay
ment Of mileage, unless tne distance
had been necessarily travelled.
e. II. Cooney said he had remained
In Helena during the brief recess ana
desired no mileague but he favored the
amendment on behalf of those mem
bers who did go home.
Amendment is Adopted.
The amendment was thereupon
adopted without a record vote but
when the committee finished its work
and reported Conser moved that this
Bill be segregated from the report and
his motion was defeated by a roll call

Fugitive Murderer
Seen Stealing Ride

CENTERV1LLE, Iowa. Dec. a.
That Lucky Tommy" O'Connor, Chi
cago gunman. who cheated the gal-
lows when he escaped from the Cook
county Jail Sunday. rode the bump
ers" into Centerville last night, was
positively asserted by the train crew
on the Iowa Southern interurban
freight train.
The man supposed to be OConnor
was beating a ride on the interurban
from Abba TO Centerville. Members
of the train crew, not being armed,
hesitated to accost him and he left
the train at a junction one mile from
here and disappeared in the dusk.
This report adds strength TO tho
theory of Des Moines police authori-
ties that O'Connor engineered tho
escape Of seven prisoners from The
Des Moines city Jail last midnight
and is in hiding near the outskirts
of that city.
