ASYLUM WORKS FOR RETURN fOlds-, W ortman Gt eat Sale Pattern Hats Sheriff Ib Pitted Aj?alnHt -Brother Of ficer and Doctor, -but 'Overtakes Them at Train and "VVlas by Two IiHHtes. INDIANAPOLIS. Oct 23. An exciting race between Sheriff a Count, of" Porter County, upon, one sldev and City Marshal Billings, of Valparaiso, and Dr. J. C. Sharpe. of Jacksonville. III., upon - the other, "with the liberty of a young woman the stake, set this city wild this afternoon. The objective point -was the Pennsylvania station, and upon the result of the contest hinged the freedom of Miss Stella Jose phine Teller, cousin of United States Sen ator Henry M. Teller, of Colorado. Miss" Teller, after some family trouble concerning certain property, was placed a half-year ago in a private asylum at Jack sonville, Hi. She escaped from that insti tution three months ago, and came to this place, where she has quietly resided since her escape. Recently she engaged legal counsel and prepared to file a suit for $50, jOOO against one of her brothers for her asylum experience. This step revealed her whereabouts, and Dr. Sharpe, of the Jacksonville institution, came hero to .take her back. Arriving here Dr. Sharpe enlisted the services of City Marshal Billings, and went direct to the hotel where MIsg Teller was registered, placed her in a hack and started post haste for the Pennsylvania Station. Her attorneys were apprised of the sudden turn of affairs,, and hurried to the station with a blanket habeas corpus writ, Arriving two minutes before the train pulled in. The writ was- signed, a notary public who happened to be a passenger on the train affixed his seal. Circuit Judge McMahon hastened to grant the necessary order, and Sheriff La Count, by -a burst of speed, caught Dr. Sharpe and his unwilling protege as the train started to 'jpull out of the station. The Jacksonville physician was compelled to release his former patient. SURE OF SUCCESS.. (Continued from First Page.) torlal candidate In the Pacific-Wahkiakum district. The candidate for Representa tive in Pacific is a fusionist, so these dis tricts are safely Republican. So is Island, and in spite of the Democratic xlalm for the country district in Snohomish, the Re publicans should win. Democrats claim Whatcom, but that county ought to go Republican. Clark County is so thoroughly" Republi can that the Democratic prognosticators In need of votes to make their claims good do not pretend to have a chance there. The Democrats claim a chance for three men In Pierce County. They believe they can land two Legislative candidates In the Thirty-fifth Representative District, and can beat Le Crone with C. M. Easterday, in the Twenty-ninth. Senatorial District. They may elect one man In the Thirty fifth. Beyond that Pierce is safely Repub-. lican. In fact, the county ought to have a solid Republican delegation. Some Democrats "Will Win. in Kin p. In King the election of some Democratic members of the Legislature Is pretty cer tain, but the Democratic strength is hard to estimate. Smithers may beat Van de Vanter in the Thirty-first Senatorial Dis trict, for the district is close and Smith ers is well liked, while Yan de Vanter, through an active career In politics, has made some .enemies. The election of Paul Land for Senator, and J. H. Boyce ' for Representative, In the Thirty-second Senatorial or Forty second Representative District, is possible. Dan llurphy may beat George W. Jeffries for Representative in the Forty-fifth Rep resentative District. The Conway-Gilluly combination may win out against Hem rich and Levy in the Thirty-third Sena torial or Forty-third Representative Dis trict. And so W. Hi Moore may beat George Piper, and one or two other Demo cratic candidates may get through. These fights are close; there is no certainty that either man .will be elected, and neither party Is, on an unprejudiced statement of affairs, claiming an assured election. The Democrats will only acknowledge a possibility of losing 12 men on the East Side. These, they claim, may be lost as follows: Walla Walla, 3; Yakima, 3; Kit titas, 2; Spokane, 2; Asotin, 1; Colum bia, L ' : Without further analysis other than to state there is a hard fight against Engle hart in Yakima, and Wilson In Walla Walla, these figures can be verified to this extent: The Democrats will lose these districts. And It Is pretty certain they will lose more. For example, Spokane County, where Wilson and Turner are fighting It out. will spilt nearly even. The Fifth and Sixth Districts, having Senatorial candidates to select, are Republican, the Fifth by a big majority, and the Sixth by a smaller mar gin. In the Fifth the Democrats base their hopes on Rasher, a (popular busi ness man and candidate for Senator. They expect him to beat Schiller and con cede the two Representatives to the Re publicans. But the Sixth District ought to elect Republicans, too. The other dis tricts, hree in number, with six candi dates for Representatives to elect, are doubtful. MeBride 3Iay Have Hnrt Ticket. The Seventh District, in Whitman Coun ty, has always been Republican. Unless MeBride has hurt the ticket materially, it ought to be so this year. The death of Lattrum in the Eighth District has hurt the Republican ticket. Though the dis trict Is Democratic, Lattrum was very popular. The result In. Stevens County, where a Senator and two Representatives are to be elected, will be influenced largly by the size of the Socialists vote. They are stronger in Stevens than anywhere else In the state, and may poll a vote sufficient to defeat the Democratic ticket. Republi cans count upon this factor, while Demo crats are anxious. In Ferry County, George Hurley, Repub lican candidate for Joint Senator, the dis trict, including Okanogan and Douglas, will have a big majority. The result for the House Is doubtful. Douglas may elect Democrat, but theepubllcans are mak ing a determined fight for the place. SI. E. Field has become involved in a factional fight in Chelan, and the Drob- able election of Adams, the Democratic, nominee, is conceded Dy Itepublicans. Okanogan Is doubtful, and so Is Adams, though the Democrats claim both counties by good majorities. Lincoln will elect tvo Democratic Representatives. - Special Sale i X9L ML iTlurU fc3J&2Xtd Hats, fresh and. new, from the fashion centers, and all ready to Splendid Skirts, thoroughly ret- vVear.

BUTTE, Mont., Oct. 2S. James Conn, a wealthy ranchman, on Willow Creek, was found shot to death In his home today. His mother lay upon the floor with her skull crushed in and cannot live. The murderer is believed to be the lone ban dit who held up the North Coast Limited Friday morning. A .member of a threshing crew on an adjoining ranch had occasion to visit the Conn ranch. - When he entered the farm house a terrible sight presented itself. On the floor, with the brains oozing from his head, lay James Conn dead with a ragged bullet hole through his temple. Near him lay his mother, her head crushed In with a blunt instrument, presumably the butt of a revolver. At the time, of the hold-up of the North ern Pacific train bloodhounds were put upon the trail of the robber, and the dogs followed it for several miles in the direc tion of the Willow Creek district, but lost the scent. Those familiar with the country declared at the time of the rob bery that in all probability the outlaw would attempt to escape that way, as the country is such as to afford an ex cellent opportunity to evade capture, be ing heavily timbered. The discovery of the crime was made at 4 o'clock thla afternoon, and officers are now jxt the scene. Near the stable the testified as at the previous trial. The presocution alleges that the hostility man ifested to Harpster by Mollneux was a part of the hostility defendant manifested to Cornish, and that such hostility showed the motive for the alleged attempt on the life of Cornish which resulted in the death of Irs. Adams. Mrt Osborne told the court he intended to offer the testimony-given at the last trial by Mamie Melando, the first witness at that trial to connect Molineux with the blue crescent paper, and by Joseph Far rell, a policeman of Newark. "Our papers show," Mr. Osborne said, "that these per sons are in- Newark, and without the ju risdiction of this court." ISx-Governor Black argued that the testimony of former witnesses may only be read under the criminal code In case of the death or in sanity 'of the missing witnesses. Further argument followed, and at its close Jus tice Lambert declined to render his de cision offhand. He said he ' would an nounce his ruling tomorrow. At the joint suggestion of all the coun sel the court dismissed the jury until to morrow, that he might hear more extend ed arguments from the lawyers ,on the question of the admissibility of testimony of Farrell and Mamie Melando. The ar guments of counsel were brief, and Justice Iambert then formally adjourned the court for the day. BANIC SAFE BLOWN OPEN. Robbers Take Their Time, While Pals Hold Fevr People at Bay.

LOOKS DARIC FOR MOLINEUX. Handwriting: Experts All Give Very DaniagrinK Evidence. NEW YORK. Oct. 28 Herbert L. Twich ell, "an assistant teller at the Chase Na tional Bank, testified 'as an expert in handwriting today in the trial of Roland B. Mollneux. He ra.u he had carefully ex amined all the handwriting exhibits in the case, the conceded and disputed writings, including the poison package address, and he believed that all were written by the same hand. Edwin B. Hay. a handwriting expert of Washington, agreed with the other experts who have been called that all the writings In the case, disputed and admitte'd, were made by the same hand. After recess Charles E. Colver, formerly paying teller of a Newark bank, where Mollneux ha"d an account, identified the writing "H. Cornish" on. the blue .paper as Molineux's. Alvln A.
