and a certain proportion of the stones
will he selected for their color. There
will, however, be sufficient number
of stones of a neutral gray tone to

R. Workman Escapes From
Bisbee Hospital After
Supposedly Breaking Back
(By Dispatch A. p. wire)


BISBEE, April 15.-Roy Workman,
also known as r. C. Winston, is being
sought by the police and sheriff's of
ficers tonight as the result of his es-
cape from a local hospital today where
he had been taken for treatment for
a supposedly broken back, after driv-
ing his automobile over an embank-
ment while in custody of an officer.
The man was apprehended here Wed
nesday in connection with felony
charge originating in California, and
at the time of the accident he was be-
ing returned by a deputy sheriff from
Phoenix, where he had been taken in
an effort to induce Governor Hunt not
to sign extradition papers for him.
Vets of this city is a grade on which
the car driven by Workman stalled.
The officer and an accompanying at
torney stepped from the car to effect
it's start, but workman started the
engine and disappeared over a steep
embankment before his custodians
were aware of his intent.
Found under the overturned auto
mobile, Workman was taken to a hos
pital, where he said he believed his
back to be broken, surgeons gave him
emergency treatment and were pre-
pairing to take x-ray photographs,
when the fugitive, momentarily un-
watched, arose and escaped.

May over July widened to 26Kc. In
this connection, it was asserted by
some authorities that Chicago July
delivery is the cheapest wheat in the
world, and that this market is on
shipping basis to Liverpool all rail
to New York
Throughout the day. wheat traders
friendly to higher prices gave en-
phasis to close adjustment of world
needs and supplies and to shortage
of domestic stocks. Serious lack of
rain in South Dakota, and forecast
of colder weather together with re-
ports of greatly delayed seeding were
also the subject of special notice.
Corn and bats ascended with wheat.
Buying on the part of previous sell
ers was notable feature of the corn
market.
Provisions developed firmness, re-
spending to the upward trend both. OF

during brief intervals.
AS a result, the close was near to

strength in Liverpool quotations did
