The Manhunt
To the three historic rides of history, the celebrated
midnight ride of Paul Revere, the gallop of Fightin' Phil "and
Sheridan 20 miles away," the famous but futile taxi dash
across Washington of Hell'n Maria Dawes, must now be
added a fourth epoch making event the midnight tour of
.Warden Dalrymplc in pursuit of escaped convicts.
We are indebted to that faithful Boswell of the Pierce
administration, the Salem Statesman, for the following
account of this stirring episode :
Wlillo Oswald West, former governor, was deep in untroubled
filumber and Ilia sub-consciouB mind framing (he challenge to Governor
Pierce and Warden Dalrymple to participate in a convict hunt,
Warden Dalrynipio spent more than four hours In the heart of the
district in which the three convicts aro believed to be surrounded.
Sinco Wednesday night Warden Dalrymplc has scarcely been away
from his office and has had only n few hours sleep obtained in short
naps at his office. Feeling the need of some frcsb air and
anxious to observe the work of the posses flint hand, Warden
lJalryniplo left the office in charge, of W. A. Ilalzell, private secretary
to Governor fierce, and about S o'clock Friday night niailo an
automobile tour of the entire district, returning to the prison shortly
after midnight.
It would take a Longfellow to properly depict this heroic
ride. Leaving his oil can, from behind which he had success
iully fought the escaping convicts at long range for three
days and prevented their re-capture of the prison, in a swiitly
moving auto, the warden was driven over the county roads
along which the manhunters are camped in battalions, and
back again to his citidal, miraculously escaping without
scratch. Surely such valor deserves a distinguished service
cross from his equally distinguished commander who for
still another day watched the battle from afar.
If it were not for its initial tragedy the episode of the
escape and pursuit of the convicts could furnish the plot for
a Gilbert and Sullivan comic opera. It would be impossible
to imagine a greater comedy of errors. It throws the search
light upon the inefficiency which results from making the
prison spoils of politics.
Having let the convicts, among whom must be the cham
pion auger-borers of the world, bore 72 holes in the prison
roof in 10 minutes, arm themselves, kill the guards and get
safely away, it is declared that they are surrounded in
Drift Creek ravine. For four days the unorganized man
hunters palrolod the country. Finally the inexperienced
youths nnd boys in the national guard instead of prison
guards, were ordered to go through the ravine and there
were no convicts there, and probably never had been.
Back of the troops, followed former prohibition conimis
sioner George L. Cleaver and his celebrated bloodhound, that
pursues his quarry, as Mr. Cleaver explains, by track and
not by scent, evidently looking for the place Eliza crossed
the ne. Back of him, came the governor, at the front for
the first time to be photographed. From adjacent churches
of this weird, wild and woolly wilderness floated the martial
tune of "Onward Christian Soldiers. Truly an awe inspiring
and never-to-be-forgotten spectacle worthy of any stage.
the dek to apeak to the clerk.
Cynthia had a feeling that she
should have- done It herself, but dla
missed It as absurd. She was set
ting finicky, she told herself, after
the strain of the trip across the
country. Oh well, soon Jim would
be able to be up again, and he and
she would go away to some quiet
place and have another honey
moon.

STARRETT SLATED
FOR OFFICIAL AXE
AS BREAK RESULT
(Continued from rage one)
.Starrett, voiced to eoeral parties,
mat he was sent out to the prison
to "straighten things out," and his
alleged allegations that he would
be tho next warden. He Is said to
have let employees around the In
stitutlon, as well ns convicts under
stand that ho was acting as a spe
cial representative of tho governor.
So bitter has the friction between
the warden nnd Starrett become, It
is said, that the matter has been
taken In hand by the governor, and
some even go so far as to state
that Starrett has boon slated for
ihe discard even before the break
occurred. Adding weight to this
report Is the statement of Starrett
himself to at least two persons In
the state within the past three
weeks that he Intended to resign.
Starrett is credited with having
.secured the appointment as parole
officer by reason of political ob
ligations Pierce was under to him.

THIEF CLEVERLY CUTS
2 VALUED TAPESTRIES
Weimar. Two valuable Gobe
lin tapestries of the Warthurg,
dating from the 15th centry, h-ivo
been mutilated by unknown
thieves with the obvious intention
of selling abroad tbe excised strips
as one piece of tapestry. After
tho revolution both carpets, which
belonged to the Grand Ducal
House of Saxonv, were included
the list of "national works cf
iirt of value not to be sold abroad."
Taking bio subject matter from
Mark VII, the gospel for the
eleventh Sunday after Pentecost,
Father Buck yesterday morning
spoke on the bins committed with
the tongue.
From iiidoa there Is a road lead
ing Into the region of Decapolis,
he said, wiiere there are ten towns
ull near the Jordan. It was in
this district that our Lord cured
a deaf and dumb man. Christ was
not a stranger in this part of the
country, for it is related that he
bad delivered a man from an uu
clean spirit in the neighborhood
of Gersu, and the first miraculous
multiplication of the loaves and
fishes had taken place not very
far away. "No doubt," Father
Buck declared, "a report of it had
spread to Decii polls, and very
probably many who bad actually
witnessed it were with Jesus at
the time of which this morning's
gospel b peaks.
"At any rate, someone who
knew the wonders of Christ took
the afflicted man to our Lord and
implored Him to 'lay Hia hands
upon him.' The people o nt aP"
peal to Jesus in vain, Christ was
ready to help, but He did not do
so publicly, because it was only
occasionally lie worked a miracle
for a Gentile. He did not wish tho
miracle to attract attention.
'It is Interesting to note tlu:
preparation which Jesus made, for
there are many tad ay who would
condemn anything of a ceremonial
in religion, and attribute belief
and practice of such ns supersti
tion." He spoke of Christ's bless
iiiR bread and fishes, of His
sproading clay in the eyes of a
bliud man, when He prayed on
bended knees, when Ho breathed
upon His disciples, Imparting to
them the Holy Ghost and likewise
the ceermouls of th Old Law, and
others.
The man who wa3 brought Lo
Jesus to be cured, Father Buck
said, was of the type of the spirit
ually deaf and dumb who cau be
cured only through the goodness
and power of the Redeemer. 'Junt
us the physically deaf and dumb
are indifferent to the sounds tna
reverberate around them and
heed not the voice of their fellow
men, so the souls that have been
struck spiritually deaf by malice
of the devil become, in into man
ner, to a great extent, Insensible
to the word of Gou."'
Such persons, he said, might be
compared to the idols of the
heathen, for they "have ears, and
hear not."
The present trend, Father Buck
declared, is "general in the world
toward atheism and indifferent
ism. 'Do the best you can and
you'll get to heaven if there is
much a place' is the motto of a
large part of the world today."
He spoke of those who deride
Christianity, belitting it and "per
haps unthinkly, edtract from it in
a sort of sincere spirit." There,,
he said, were the most afflicted, i
"fhero may be, in fact are.
faults in those calling themselves
Christians, but surely the fact
would not condemn the whole of
Christianity." Then the speaker
pointed out the good Christianity
has done in the world. In spite
of its "seeming evils and incon
sistencies." he asked anyone to
point out anything the world has
over known that would compare
with what Christianity has taught.
J. J. Gillespie, pastor of the
Church of God, spoke on "Sin and
Its Terrible ltesults," in the fore
noon and ou "The Remedy for
Sin" In the evening.
Euuniorating the results of sin,
ho declared that it had driven
Adam and Eve out of the garden
of Eden, undo Cuin a murderer,
caus3d God to destroy the whole
human family except eight souls,
caused the destruction of Sodom
and Gomorrah, caused Jacob to
stead Kami's birthright, cause tin
ton plagues of Egypt and was tho
cause of 1'harnah und his entiro
iinny being drowned in the Red
sea. Sin villi jealousy, he de
clared, had cansed Jacob's sons to
:oll their brother Joseph. Sin and
disobedience caused th children of
Israel to refuse to enter Cauuan
and to winder in the wilderness 40
years.
In all he enumerated IS differ
ent results of sin, concluding with
(he passage "the soul that sluiicth,
it shall die," -ind others of a slmi
lor nature.
At his evening service Rev. Mr.
Gillespie riled 12 different pass
ages from scripture showing tho
remedy for sin, beginning with
!. .'Miosis 3:15, God's promise of
salvation through Christ before
Adam and Eve, and closing with
Rev. 22:1G-17.
