MRS. PHILLIPS ESCAPE WELL
PLANNED AND CARRIED OUT
"Tiaer Woman's" Bitterest Foe in Her
Trial for Murder Also Has
Vanished.

Los Angeles, Cal.-The blood.
hounds Of the law have searched all
day and all night for Mrs. Clara
Phillips, hammer murderess and jail
breaker extraordinary, and have found
no trace OF her.
They have hunted also for Peggy
Caffee, Clara's bitterest enemy-and
she has vanished. No one will hazard a
guess as to whether she be dead or
alive, whether she has been kidnapped
by the tiger woman" or whether she
has fled.
Armour Phillips, husband Of Clara,
has been found and questioned. He
says he knows nothing Of his wife's
escape, but he is glad she's gone.
He presented a perfect alibi," bat
the shadow of doubt was cast upon it
and the suspicion that he may have
participated in the Jail break still is
strong.
phillips says he was with a party OF
friends Monday night, that he went
home about IL o'clock, went to bed
slept soundly and did not awake until
nearly noon today. If this story is
true, his wife worked while he slept,
j. A. Cooper, who rooms next to
Phillips in the Autura hotel, is the
man who cast the doubt. He told the
sheriff's office that about 4:30 o'clock
this morning he heard the man mex

tub. He says he looHed at his watch
at that time.
Phillips-who registered as A. Lee
Phillips, by the way, had a room on
the first floor, four feet from the
ground and 10 feet from the rear
door. He could have left his room
and entered it again without the
knowledge of anyone else in the hotel
In all the hours Of searching only
one clew was found, which leads to
fearful theories concerning the safety
of Peggy Caffee.
When the woman convicted Of the
murder OF Alberta Meadows sawed her
way through three steel bars this
morning-proving she was as apt with
the saw as the h~ammer-she stepped
into an automobile that was found two
blocks from the home occupied by
Mrs. Caffee.
Mrs. Caffee was an eyewitness tC
the murder Of Mrs. Meadows. On the
witness stand she swore that Clara
bought the lucent hammer, that
Clara lured Alberta out to the lonely
Montecito road, and that, after taking
a drink Of whisky, she hammered out
Alberta's brains-having accused Al
berta Of trying to steal Armour
Phillips for her own.
1t was Peggy's testimony that re
suited in the verdict, guilty of murder
in the second degree. And in the
sentence-10 years to life-Clara was
held in jail pending the hearing OF ar
appeal.
Peggy was deathly afraid of her
Peggy had said time and again she
feared Clara would kill her.

SOUTHERN GROWERS
NEED CERTIFIED SEED

In some Southern states where po-
tatoes are an important crop, grow
ers are taking increased interest in
certified seed, but according to state
officials and representatives of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture who are cooperating with
them, special legislation is necessary
to prevent local seedmen from sell
ing ordinary seed stock or even table
stock as certified seed.
Many growers now recognize the
value of superior seed and r will
ing to pay a premium for it, but they
are discouraged by frauds perpetrat-
ed upon them by INSCRIPTIONS deal
ers. However, the farmers may pro
tect themselves to a great extent if
they will look for the certifcation
tag which would be on every sack
of certified seed potatoes. With this
tag to start from it is possible to
trace any lot of seed back to the
grower or dealer who put it up.
Not only the growers, but many
of the seed dealers have been i'm
pressed with the Importance of get
ting in nothing but the best seed.
This year % carloads of certified seed
potatoes, all of the Triumph variety,
were planted in Louisiana alone.
Twelve carloads came from Wiscon-
sin and ten from western Nebraska.
1t is claimed that by use of this high
grade seed the yields in the state are
being increased 40 bushels or more
an acre over that of much of the
seed formerly sold there.-U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture.

NOW THE TIME FOR
HAVING COWS TESTED

T. B. testing and T. B. cleanup
starts in Roosevelt county this week.
DR.. Little, state veterinary from Miles
City, will start in the Pershing COM
munity and DIR. Osborn, the govern
ment veterinarian from Helena, will

farmers are consuming and selling
milk from diseased animals. The
state law requires that all persons
selling milk or any dairy products
have the tuberculosis test made and
now is the time to go after it. The
livestock project leaders in each of
the communities have all information
concerning the testing and anyone
desiring to have this test made should
register their cattle with the live
stock project leader Immediately.
DR.. Richardson, state veterinary, will
be in Wolf Point this week, Poplar
next week and Culbertson, Bainville
and Froid the following weeks. Any
individuals who have no project
leader in their community, can see
DR.. Richardson and register their
COWS with him or if notice is sent
to the county agent he will be glad
to refer this to the veterinaries as
they pass through the county. The
following men are in charge of the
work in the communities listed be-
