PRISONER BREAKS
JAIL HERE ON EVE
OF FACING COURT
Morgan Batters Way Thru
Brick Wall of County
Jail Monday

On the eve of his scheduled APP
pearance before a district court
judge here for sentence on a burg
larry charge, Sam Morgan, 35, held
in the county Jail here since June
4, wrenched an iron brace from his
cell cot here sometime Monday
night and battered his way through
bricks on the jail's second story to
freedom.
Fred Baker, 80, the only other
occupant of the Jail and held joint
ly with Morgan on charges of hav-
ing entered the c. E. Hudson home
at Roberts on the night of June 3,
told officers that Morgan effected
his escape at about 3 a. m. Tues
day, after working most of the
night in ~battering a hole through
the brick wall near an upper story
window. He declined to aid or ac-
company Morgan, he said.
Baker faced Judge Robert c.
Stong in district court here Tues
day and pleaded guilty to the
burglary charges. He was sent
| enced to Is months in the state
penitentiary and was taken to
Deer Lodge Wednesday by Sheriff
j. R. McFate. Morgan was also tc
have faced Judge Stong Tuesday
on the charge and in statements
made previously to officers said
that he would plead guilty.
From evidence at the cen Of
the break Morgan pried an iron
brace from his cell cot and is be-
lieved to have also obtained a
bread knife from the jail's kitchen.
These we're evidently his only
tools. On the right hand side Of
an upper story window he bat
tered and cut away the windows
wooden frame work. Obtaining
the iron sash weight from the
shattered window frame, he bat
tered out bricks around the iron
bars and their screen covering.
The hole used by Morgan was
little wider than the span of a
mans hand and about 18 inches in
length. 1t was made in the upper
section of the window and in such
a position as to make escape by
that method extremely difficult,
considering hat a drop of some
20 feet to the ground awaited once
the window was negotiated. For
this purpose Morgan cut strips
from a canvas covering Of the
type used on the jail's cots. Straps
are used to fasten these to the cot
framework and Morgan utilized
the straps to fasten the canvas
strips together and to an iron bar
of the window for his slide to the
ground.
The break was discovered early
Tuesday morning when officers
paid their morning call to the
prisoners. Immediately upon dis
covery that Morgan had escaped,
alarms were sent to Billings, CO.
lumbus, Absarokee and Bridger.
No trace has been found so far of
Morgan.
He is described by officers as
rather tall, of slender build and
has sunken cheeks and a general
consumptive appearance. From
the United States department of
justice, authorities learned last
week that Morgan is a former
convict, having served sentences
in Leavenworth, Kans., Rawlins,
Wyo., and Lincoln, Neb. Records
also revealed that this was not his
first attempt at jailbreaking.

NEWS CAMPAIGN
SWINGING into
END OF PERIOD
Close of First Period Is
Extended to July
Seventh

The count, issued Thursday by
the campaign manager, shows less
change in relative standing than
was expected but also shows that
any one of the leading workers
left on the list, after winnowing
out those who did not keep their
nerve or who hadn't the time to
do their work, may readily win. 1t
takes only a little more work on
the part of any one contestant to
make a big jump ahead, as all are
so evenly matched.
First Period Extended
Due to the heavy rains of the
past ten days, it has been almost
impossible to get to some parts of
the county where hundreds of
subscriptions remain to be had.
Realizing that these hundreds of
live prospects have not yet been
interviewed by any candidate and
that it would be impossible for the
club members to cover these pros
poets owing to the shortness of
the period, the campaign manage
ment has decided that, in fairness
to all candidates concerned, the
first period of the campaign shall
be extended one week, thus allow
ing FIRST PERIOD CREDITS I'M
til Saturday, July Z.
This special week, therefore, al
lows the maximum number Of
credits for subscriptions turned in
up to Saturday night, July 7, and
affords club members a good OPP
p%ortunity not only to get in their
share of unsolicited business, but
also to secure additional years on
subscriptions they have already
turned in. This will be the last
opportunity to get big credits on
subscriptions. so ACT NOW!

Candidates in the Carbon Coun-

ing under the first period sched-
ule. The competition is growing
keener day after day and those
who put forth supreme efforts
now will reap the big rewards.
The expected burst of speed at the
close of the first period empha-
sizes the fact that it depends en-
tirely upon results obtained by
each individual, between now and
the finish, as to who the ultimate
winners will be.
They're OFF, was the exclama-
ton as the barriers. were lifted
for the start of our big campaign.
They're racing valiantly!" is
the exclamation from the lips of
enthusiastic spectators today. And
in a little less than three weeks
they'll be shouting, "Who has
won!" All of which tends to show
you folks who are watching the
big subscription drive with eager
ness what a great race is in pro-
gress.
Race Undecided Until End
Ever since the flash of the pis-
toll three weeks ago, our splendid
list of a%spirants have been run
ming down the track neck and
neck. They, like the vast audience,
wonder what the next second will
mean to them. If they are leading,
will the field follow closely behind
them? If so, who will pass into
first position as they near the
goal line. Then, like the newt
able, someone does that very
thing. They forge ahead to set
the pace down the home stretch,
but the rest close in on them.

and bankers, and that he also
listed four labor leaders, lncluo
ing William Green and Matthew
Woll. Today he said:
"But the situation has
changed entirely. Today there
is Just one bOss-and he's the
President"
Mr.. Gerard was asked II he
thought the situation today, with
Mr.. Roosevelt as the one-man
boss, is an improvement.
Improvement? Yes
He replied without hesitation:
"I think it is. 1t is a bad
thing for the country that the
ga were running the country.
"Some of them were running
1t for themselves, and not for
the country"
The former ambassador made
it clear, however, that he believed
many of those he named in 1880
were very fine men and distinct
assets to the nation. He was
asked:
DO YOU think that, with Mr..
Roosevelt holding the reins, we
are headed for a dictatorship"
His reply was:
"No. But this country has
got to have definite, strong
leadership. And that's just what
it now has"
Weighing his words, Mr.. Gerard
added:
I'm 100 per cent for the
President and his leadership
and for what he's done for this
country up to date"
Mr.. Gerard was asked if he
thought the trend of the Roose
velt Administration foreShadoWed

His reply was that the United
States always will have the cap
italistic system-that the Ameri
can people are not so constituted
that they would accept. for ex
ample, the Russian Soviet system
He said:
"A friend Of mine was asked
If the United States was ever
going to have q revolution. He
replied: No, because the Ameri-
can people are gO-getters indi-
vidually. and gamblers
do you subscribe to your
friends viewpoint"
II certainly do. 1t would be
