L. G. VINCENT, HELD AT LEMHI
COUNTY JAIL, ALMOST Sue
cEEDs IN GETTING AWAY

About 1890 Monday night, or rath-
|er Tuesday morning, Sheriff Donald
!E. Martin apprehended L. G.. Vincent,
an inmate of the county jail, Just In
the final act of escape from that con-
filming institution. Vincent had pick
ed the lock of his cell, and had gouged
the brickwork away from over the
door of the inner corridor, and within
an other quarter of and hour would
have made way for liberty. In pick
ing locks he had used a piece of safe
ty razor blade; and in dislodging the
masonry he had employed a common
kitchen knife, the eating knife OF the
prison.
Vincent has been shackled ever
since he had been retaken after he
had dug his way out of the Challis
Jail, as has previously been told Mr..
Martin knew the mans inherent love
for liberty, and had declared that
Vincent would stay at Salmon long
enough to tell his story to the Judge.
which will be in June, or maybe as
late as next September: At 1880
Monday night the sheriff had locked
his prisoner in the steel cell for the
night, and had gone to bed. But the
officer says he did not go to sleep,
and whiting three-quarters Of an hour
from the time of the lookup, he heard
strange noises in the direction OF the
iail which is two floors below his bed
room. Vincent was the only inmate
of the JAIL as E. c. Noehl, the other
prisoner had served his time and had
been liberated some days ago.
Caught in the Act.
Mr.. Martin went down stairs IN
his night clothes, going as far as the
first floor below: and still hearing
the noise as of something going for
ward. he returned to his dormatory,
dressed for action, took his As peace
talker In his hand, and retraced his
steps to the Jail. Unlocking the outer
door, he at once noticed the mortar
debris on the floor, and a big hole
cut through over the outer door En-
tering the inner corridor, he found
Vincent 11nshackled. and In his cell
He asked Vincent what is the matter
and if he didn't like his quarters; to
which Vincent replied: II must De
crazy" Martin told him that II ne
thinks he can get away from this
house, he is crazy, adding REFER
ence to vincent's good luck that Mar
tin didn't see him escaping for the
sheriff would have fired on him, and
got the explanations afterward. The

,Kenosha Unitarian Pastor
1901 1911 Dies In
Boston.
FIRST PASTOR HERE

Dispatches received in Kenosha IRON
Boston early today brought che news
of the death yesterday, in the Mas
sachusetts city, of Rev. Florence Buck,
organizer and first minister Of the
Simmons Memorial Unitarian church.
Death of Miss Buck occurred at
Massachusetts, General hospital, and,
according to the dispatches, was caused
by typhoid fever. She had been in i'll
health for some time, but che attack
of fever was of recent occurrence.
Rev. Miss Buck accepted call to
the pastorate of the Keuosha church
in 1901, soon after its erection
through the benefcence of H. M. Sim
mons, and she became its first pas
tor. She continued the work here UNI
til 1911 when she went to a pastorate
at Alameda, California. She remained
there one year, when she went to
Boston where she resided until her
death.
In Boston Miss Buck was associate
secretary of the religious education of
the American Unitarian association.
she was born in Battle Greek, Michi-
gan, in 1860, and was So years of age
at the time of her death, She re-
ceived her call to Kenosha from Bat
tie Creek.
During the ministry of Rev. Miss
Buck in Kenosha, she had as her as
sistant Rev. Marion Murdoch, who
remained with her during the ten
years Of her pastorate in Kenosha.
Later Miss Murdoch was associated
with Miss Buck IN her Boston work.

came as a shock to older Kenosha
residents who were active in the af-
fairs Of the Unitarian church during
Rev, Bucks pastorate. Mrs. Fred G.
Hannahs had kept in touch with her
former pastor through correspondence
for many years, and was touched at
hearing of the death.
The Kenosha church, over which
Rev. Miss Buck ministered, is fami-
liar landmark on Chicago street. 1t
ceased its activity as church during
the passionate of Rev. Darnell, and is
at present doing service as the home
of Kenosha Masons until such a time
as they can take possession of their
new temple.

French Discuss
Caillaux Report

Paris - "A considerable
portion Of the time of Premier Pain
leve's ministers this week is expected
to be taken up by an examination into
Finance Minister Caillaux's statement
regarding his recent debt funding me-
gotiations in Washington.
II. Cail1aux, who returned to Paris
Saturday evening, yesterday handed
his report to the cabinet and with the
other ministers discussed the situa-
tion for three hours. Tomorrow the
ministers again will take up the ten
tative agreement arrived at in Wash

possible consequences ought to be
thoroughly studied out before Frances
reply is sent to the Washington gov
eminent.
Little has been allowed to become
known as to how the ministers re-
ceived N. Caillaux's statement.
During the coming discussions not
alone will the provision Washington
ton agreement be taken up, but the
whole inter-Allied debt situation will
be gone over.

CHECK QUESTION
J BOTHERS COUNCIL
Sewer Construction Bids
Hinge on a Perplexing
Problem.
TO INVESTIGATE

What constitutes cerLlHeQ cHech !.
That was the point at issue Monday
evening at the city council meeting
when a discussion of the bids on sewer
construction work on Selma avenue,
Rowland avenue, Superior street and
Grand avenue took place. City Man
ager Osborn presented the bids show
ing that Peter FraAdsen was low with
a bid of S47,97o with Markus Thomson
next low with a bid of $4s,9S4.
Peter Frandsen had accompanied his
bid with bank cashiers check for
the amount required under the law as
a guaranty Of good faith. Thomsen's
bid was accompanied by regular GER
titled check. The question arose as
to whether or not he cashiers
check. which was acknowledged to be
perfectly good, could be accepted as
technically certified check or whether
on this account the bids should all
be thrown out and new bids called
for at later GATE.
Recall Former Situation.
The situation was made more com
plieated when the city manager re-
called that two years ago several bids
had ben rejected, when Markus
Thomson was lew bidder, and one of
the reasons then was that Thomson
had not submitted certified check for
the amount. Thomson demanded that
the same action be taken in this
instance.
Frandsen claimed that the situa-
tions were not similar because in the
former instance only personal check
had been submitted while he had in
good faith submitted q cashiers check.
Thomsen immediately declared that the
check which he had submitted two
years ago was also a cashiers check.
President Afford Raises Question.
IF a contractor brought in $4,000
in gold, would it be as good as a
certified check?n was the question
raised by Aldermen Afford, president
of the council, He pointed out that
the cashiers check was every BIT as
good as a certified cheek and for that
reason stated that he would be hesi-
tant to reject the bids on the TECH
nicality until a further investigation
was made and q Debate opinion re-
ceived from legal counsel. Other
councilmen were of the same opinion
and it was agreed to POSTPONE action
until next week.
A check-up showed that in the in
stance two years ago the check angle
had been only one Of the reasons for
rejecting the bids It was held then
that there had not been enough COM
petition shown in the submitting Of
bids and this also operated to bring
about a rejecting Of the bids.
A resolution amending the coming
ordinance so that it would include the
Stahl-Farrell subdivision recently adj
mitted to the city, was given its Arst
reading and advanced. Notice of
hearing on the resolution was also set
in keeping with the law.
A petition fer sewer and water
mains for this district was rassed
with the understanding that the petit
tioners were to bear the entire ex-
pense where the property on the street
was not within the city until such
time as that property was annexed
when they would be reimbursed. The
petitioners were given an opportunity
to bring in a petition for annexation
Of this preperty so that assessments
could be made on each side of the
street. 49,

Wisconsin Leads In
Library Expansion
Speaker Tells Librarians Convention
That Wisconsin Leads the Nation
In This Work.

La Crosse, Wis. g. ~ Wisconsin
is Metallic in the nation for the lead
ership it has taken in library expan-
sion, President Ernest A, Smith of La
crosse normal school told delegates to
the thirty-fourth annual convention of
the Wisconsin Library association here
Monday.
DR.. Smith urged that Wisconsin Il
braries extend their activities to assist
the child in its early reading and
bring we'll selected beeks to the child
rather than to have him seek his own
books. On this point he said in part:
ssToday a new practice has begun to
prevail; instead of the child coming to
the beck, the book Of the public Ii
brary must meet the child in the pub
lie school. The youth of the land must
be induced at an early age to read
widely, enthusiastically and intell-
igently."
"To reach this goal there are several
requisites, namely, adequate, suitable
and wisely assigned reading material
and competent, thoroughly trained,
sympathic teachers, teaeher-librarions
and generous broad visioned public Ii
brary administrators. The entire trend
of present day education demands this.
