Bennett Thompson, convicted of

an escape is now known. In the
jail, under the was-h bowl, the
other day. was found :t rivet cut
ter, made from a piece of ok!
knife blade. Tii- piece of steel
wps only an inch long, but it was
finely tempore I. Thompson had
made it fit into a tm-e of broom
handle, and bad so wired it that
it could not fall out, and so that
it would withstand great pres
sure. The handle, which was 16
to 18 inches long, then had a
cross piece on it. riveted, and
braced with an old necktie.
With this Thompson had cut off
the heads of seven rivets, using
the instrument as though it were
a brace. He had puttied up the
holes and rounded out the places
so it was hard to tell them from
the genuine rivet heads. Two or
three more rivets out. and then
little help from the outside.
and Thompson would have been
in the main corridor. Sheriff
eeves had a nightwatch on the
prisoner tor several uays prior
his trial, ami throughout the
trial, and until he conveyed him
to the pen.
Litihi time was hist after sen
tence, and this prevented a
break. That other prisoners
knew of the contemplated escape
is almost a certainty. New riv
ets were put in the last of the
week.
The point of the blade was
rusted, showing that it had been
some time since it had been in
use.
NOTICI-
It is the wish of the present City
Council to have all persons of the
city interested in its welfare to
meet with the Council at any of
its sessions and take up fltiy and
all matters that you may be per
sonally or generally interested
in. This renuest is made lor the
reason that the Council cannot
advise itself upon all matters
that are in the minds of the citi
zens, and it was thought wise to
extend this invitation to the
general public and .rge them
lo appear before the Council
that everything may be done
consistent with our financial abil
ity in the interests and welfare
of the city.

was burned to death Sunday
morning. He' husband was over

he found the wife dead, her body
badly burned. Nearly all the
clothing of the woman was burn
ed from the body, just a few
remnants of the corset adhering.
From indications, Mrs. Tigard
had replenished the fire and in
some manner her clothing must
have caught. It is presumed
that the shock prostrated her
and she sank into the chair in a
faint. Her entire body was ter
ribly burned and blackened.
Mrs. Tigard was aged about 80
years. She and her husband
were married about 25 years ago.

scene to investigate the affair,
and says the above is probably
the way the tragedy took place.
There are no children, her hus
band being her only immediate
survivor. When she was mar
ried to Mr. Tigjrd her name was
Mrs. Sophia Sehmidler. Coro
ner Barrett says the chair, which
was oak, was badly burned,
showiuit the intensity of the
heat.

The p rsonr.tl of the commit
tees, which sit in joifit session
under the chairmanship of Dr.
W. D. Wood, senator from Wash
ington County, may well strike
terror into the hearts of all w ho
are devoted to the interest of
any institution, work, service or
cause which is at the mercy of
the Btate legislature for financial
aid.
Dr. Wood formerly held the
international tight-wad cham
pionship, but he grew reasona
ble after his early experience,

Tnev came down to laurels w-re snatched by shrewd

Old rtiee Lar untiie, laiuici sen
ator from Marion County. Dr.
Wood at first objected to all ap
propriations that were not of
direct benefit to his home coun
ty. This was when he. first came
to the Senate eight or ten years;
ago. Senator LaFollette knock-1
ed him out by going him one
better.
Four sessions of the legisla-j
ture have had a mellowing ef-!
feet on Dr. Wood. At last he is
convinced that some appnpria
tions really are necessary. At
first he was a skeptic as to the
merits of any cause, sincerely
believing that state appropria
tions were enacted solely to pro
vide jobs for those who pro
moted the expenditures. He
scoffed openly at the notion that
anyone had any unselfish pur
pose in asking the state to ex
pend money.
No one can accuse Or Wood
of being a hypocrite. He pre
tends no mawkish sympaihy for
anyone would levy an additional
penny of taxes for any cause
short of defending his home
county frooi armed invasion.
