SAWED THE JAIL BARS
Hugh Boyle Arrested for Free
inc William Clifford.
Others Said To Be Implicated in
the Delivery of Clifford From
Prison in April liftßt.
Sheriff Ciunitt made laHt Saturday
morning what ho considers a moflt im
portant arrest, fie took ir. Hugh
Boyle, ■ gentleman of hobo proclivities.
He ia charged with the serious crime of
liberating Win. Clifford from the county
jail 00 the morning of April 2'\, the date
upon which his trial for theft of grain
from the Shawnee. warehouse begun.
The escape wan made through sawn
bars, two hours before court convened
to open the case upon which Clifford is
now serving a term of three years in the
penitentiary at Walla Walla.
With Clifford Dan McDonald also got
away, and has never been recaptured,
but. after a hard chase of half a mile,
with several shots whizzing uncomforta
bly near, Clifford gave up to Sheriff
Canutt and was inarched back to jail
and trial, and finally to the penitentiary.
Boyle's Fart in It.
Within a few minutes after the break
the sheriff was informed that on the
previous day i\ man described as Boyle
had bought from Leo Carter at Barroll
& Mohney's hardware store, two hack
saws aud a fi^h line. Search was at once
instituted for Boyle, as it was then
thought he had cat the outside window
bars where the eee<pe was made, but
he had disappeared, and up to last Sat
urday, when he again made his appear
ance in Colfax the sheriff's office was un
able to find him. Saturday be appeared,
more than comfortably drunk. He in
quired at once for .Judge McDonald's
borne, saving the judge had sent for him
to "swear against a couple of fellers,"
and that "one of them was a newspaper
man." He wobbled up toward Judge
McDonald's, but was unable to locate
the house. After frightening several
South Colfax women badly, he returned
to town. Leo Carter recognized him as
the man he sold the saws to as soon as
he saw him, and Sheriff Canutt also rec
ognized him as the man he had long
been searching for. He was arrested on
the street and taken to jail, where he
was later visited by Judge McDonald.
Boyle was formally charged by inform
ation in the superiorcourt.tiled Monday,
with "assisting prisoners to escape. Ar
raigned Tuesday before Justice Kirk
land, he waived examination and was
held under bonds of $1000, which he
was unable to furnish, to appear in the
superior court September 12.
tiave the Job Away
Not loug after the jail break trusty
prisoners on the inside gave the sheriff's
office valuable information as to bow
the job was done. They told of a man
answering Boyle* description, whom
they had seen sneaking about on th^
outside beneath the windows of the jail,
apparently taking a surrey. They de
scribed the clothing he wore, and this
same clothing, a hat and corduroy
pants, Boyle had on when arrested. He
wore the same when he left.
One of the pricouers, working in the
chain gang on the road on the Almota
urade, told the officers where the saws
with which the job had been done were
hidden, in an outhouse frequented by
them near their work. The sawn were
found at the place described, and they
have been in the possession of Sheriff
Canutt for some months.
Implicated Several.
After two of the prisoneis, Leonard
and Casey, had been discharged from
custody they made affidavits as to what
they knew about the job, and other
prisoners have done the same. This in
formation is rather startling and im
plicate* more than one Colfax party in
the work, but just who, the officers re
fuse as yet to divulge.
Boyle Was Sweated.
Boyle was given a liberal dose of the
sweat box Tuesday, and when charged
with a share in the work gave up enough
information at least ro corroborate
that previously given by former prison
ers in the jail.
Saloon Men Arrested.
Sunday eveuing at 9 o'clock Sheriff
Canutt and Deputy Steward visited the
saloons of Dan Biu'nard and I. Lefrancis.
They were found running openly and the
two proprietors were arrested, informa
tion being tiled Monday against them in
the superior court. Sheriff Canutt was
approached Saturday evening by a cer
tain party, who broached the subject of
Sunday opening. The sheriff told this
party that he would arrest any saloon
man opening, but he was evidently not
believed, as it is near flection.
The two proprietors were arraigned
before Judge McDonald, Thursday after
noon. Both entered pleas of not guilty,
and Judge McDonald conveniently set
their trials for November 18—a week
after the election—jußt as those with an
inkling of the inside workings in politics
and other things predicted he would.
School District Bonds Sold
The board of directors of school dis
trict !">:{, at La Cropse, and the county
treasurer, cold bonds of $1000 of the
district at the treasurer's office last
Saturday. There were three bide. The
rirst National Bank of Colfax, which
was successful, bid par and $7 premium
and also agreed to furnish the blank
bonds and attend to other necessary
details of the transaction. H. E. Noble
of lortland bid par and $21 premium,
and W. 1). Ferkins Jc Co. of Seattle
offered par and §2.50 premium. The
birst National Bank bid was accepted
because it was considered that the fur
nishing of the blank bonds offset the
difference of $14 in premium between
that bid and Mr. Nobles. The bank
also deposited a certified check of *U'O
as a forfeit wh.ch neither of the others
did The district school board is com
posed of J A. Weir, J. A.Hampton,

partment met at the engine house last

ing officers of the department for recom
mendation to the council for appoint

THIRD TIME BEREAVED.
Sudden Death of Mrs. S. C. Roberts
Thursday of Last Week.
A peculiarly sad death was that <.t
Mrs. Stella Maud Roberts, wife of County
School Superintendent Roberts, which
occurred nt their home in South Colfax
Thursday evening of last week at 6
o'clock. The death was sudden, and Mr.
Roberts, who was engaged in teachers'
examination work, had barely time to
reach home before she passed away after
notification of an alarming turn of ill
ness. This is the third wife Mr. Roberts
has lost by death within ten years.
Mr. and Mrs. Roberts were wedded
only last December. Mrs. Roberts was
28 years, 8 months and 11 days of age
at the time of her death. She was an
intellectual and lovable woman, who
leaves many friends to mourn her sud
den taking away. She was a member of
the first graduating class of the Idaho
university at Moscow, and after her
graduation served her alma mater for
several years as librarian. As a member
of the Methodist Episcopal church, she
was a devoted Christian and took a
most active interest in all church affairs.
Funeral seivices were held Sunday
morniug at 11 o'clock from the Metho
dist church, Rev. Booth of Moscow
officiating. A large concourse of friends
of the departed wife ana bereaved huK
band followed the remains to the ceme
tery. A number from Moscow, her
former home, attended the funeral

wife of our county superintendent; there

Resolved, That we, the teachers in ex
amination assembled, tender to the be
reaved husband and ?elatives of the
deceased our deepest sympathy in this
hour of bereavement, remembering that
God alone can comfort the sorrowing
heart and heal the wounds that attend
so great affliction; and be it further re
solved, that a copy of these resolutions
be given to the bereaved husband, a
copy kept in the minute book of the
Whitman county teachers' institute, aud
a copy given to each of the Colfax pa
pers for publication.—W T. H. Latta,

SHOT AN EYE OUT.
Cashier Service of Farmington Was
Badly Injured.
Wm. Service, cashier of the Bank of
Farmington, met with accidental shoot
ing Sunday, August f>, which cost him
an eye. In company with v friend
named Taylor he was shooting birds
near Farmington. They were separ
ated a short distance when Taylor made
a wing shot at a bird. Two of the shot
struck Mr. Service in an arm and another
pierced his left eyeball, entirely destroy
ing the sight. lie was taken to Spo
kane, where the attending occnlist, to
prevent inflammation and loss of the
other eye, advised removal of the eye
ball. This was done, and Mr. Service is
now reported as doing as well as possi
ble under the circumstances. •-
Mrs. Service and children were visiting
the lady's parents at Mountain Home,
Idaho, at the time of the accident. To
prevent publication of the accident and
alarm to his family, the matter was
kept eecret and out of the papers. Mrs.
Service returned home Saturday.
Board of Equalization.
The county commissioners are still in
session as a board of equalization, Com
missioners Willard and Huntley being
present. They expect to finally adjourn
Tuesday, August 21, at noon. * All com
plaints as to assessment must be filed
before that time in order to receive at
tention. Quite a number of complaints
have been brought before the board. It
has been decided to set entirely aside the
ten per cent raise on merchandise, which
includes all stocks and such articles us
lumber, logs, apd other articles of barter
and sale. This raise was made by the
assessor this year, but the prosecuting
attorney has advised the board that it
was illegal,and it will therefore be cut off.
Boys Held a Circus.
The enterprising youth of the town
held their third annual circus on the
west side Tuesday afternoon which was
a grand and spectacular affair without
bills. The parade was a novelty und
took the usual circus route. Strung out
the full length of Main street was a band
of one tin horn and a ferocious mena
gerie in hand express wagons drawn by
boys. Barred cages were on each wagon,
filled with ferocious roosters, rabbits
and cats, while big dogs and Shetland
ponies, gaily decked in ribbons, were led
in regulation circus etyle. The affair
created much amusement.

WHBAT FIBLD RUEtNBD I
Dan Kinsinger's Eighty Acres
Entirely Destroyed.
Fire Was a Hot One and the Roar
Was Terriftlc—There Was
No Insurance.
The first big fire of standing grain in
the Palouee country was the destruc
tion Monday afternoon of 80 acres of
fine fall wheat belonging to Daniel Kin
singer, about ten miles south of Colfax,
toward Almota. The wheat promised a
yield of at least 30 or 35 bushels to the
acre, and is a serious loss to Mr. Kin
singer, as he had not v dollar of insur
ance, and not a straw of the fine field
was left standing.
Mr. Kinsiuger was at a neighbor's
when he observed the fire and rode
quickly over with the intention of ex
tinguishing it, but says he could not ap
proach near it, aud that the roar was
terrific.
That no other fields wore destroyed is
due to the fact that the burned wheat
had summer fallowed land on three sides
of it and the wind drove the fire away
from the other side.
Mr. Kinsinger is of the opinion tbat
the fire originated from a spark from a
traction engine, which had passed the
held an hour or two previous. The
blow is a severe one to him. He figures
the loss, with harvesting expenses de
ducted, at nearly $1000.
A CHAIN GANU KOAD.
Had Almota Grade Fixed For a
Hundred Years.
The macadamizing of the bad piece of
road on the Almota grade, upon which
Jailer Curry and his chain gang have
bfen engaged for several months*, is now
about complete. This has been a terri
ble piece of road, many times impassa
ble in wet weather; but farmers and
teamsters need dread it no longer, good
weather or bad. Wet weather will not
affect it. Sheriff Canutt has done a
good service to the large scope of coun
try whose people daily or weekly traverse
this grade. Besides, he has made the
hoboes and petty crimiuals fed at the
expense of the people, of service and
made them more thau earn their keep.
For nearly a quarter of a mile over
this quagmire a roadway 20 feet wide
has been dug out to a depth of two feet.
From adjacent quarries prisoners have
taken rock and broken it. The roadway
was then tilled solidly in with the finely
broken rock, after the foundation bad
been thoroughly settled by tamping
The work by contract would have cost a
large sum, while practically all thin has
cost has been for blasting powder and a
team for hauling the rock. The fame of
the Whitman county chain gang has
spread among the hoboes all over the
coast, too, and this has served to great
ly thin out the usual horde infesting the
county.
Jailer Curry is an expert of many
years' experience in this kind of work.
He now has a force of six or eight
stroDg men and will begin work on other
grades leading into town.
Discharged the Indian
Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Roberts
and deputy Sheriff Steward were called
to Daiontown Tuesday to take care of
a Yakima Indian held there for horse
stealing. Peter Judy, who lives over
the Idaho line, had ridden a horse into
luiontown. Three Yakima Indians, full
to the neck with Gencsee firewater, rode
into town, each with a big bottle. One
of them appropriated Judy's horse and
was making out of town when over
hauled aud a nested. The justice had
discharged him I efore the arrival of the
officers, being under the impression that
the United States authorities only had
jurisdiction over an Indian.
W. C. T. U. Parlor Meeting
The parlor meeting Tuesday evening
at Mrs. Roland Reid's was a success in
every way. An interesting and varied
program was rendered, consisting of
recitations, vocal and instrumental
solos and duets, besides several im
promptu speeches, also a paper on
"Woman's Work," written by one of
the members. There was a good attend
ance and all pronounced it a most en
joyable evening. The next parlor meet
ing will be held in October.
Stole a Pair of Pillows.
At the request of Sheriff Baldwin of
Gartield county, a farm laborer named
Theo Leitch was arrested as he stepped
from a train at Colfax Saturday morn
ing. The charge against him was the
theft of a pair of pillows from a Pomeroy
hotel. These were found rolled up in
hie bed. Tbe detected man offered to
pay |10 to settle the little affair. This
the Gartield sheriff accepted and Leitch
was turned loose to hunt a job at which
he could get even.
Letter From Nome.
John Donoran, who left here recently
to return to Nome, writes to hiß brother,
George Donovan, the photographer, of
his safe arrival, ten days out from Seat
tle. He sent eoine street and beach
views which show Nome as it is. He
says no work is beiDg done, for the rea
son that everything is jumped and tied
up with litigation. He thinks that when
the crowd is thinned out and the tangles
straightened thiugs will be all right, as
there is much gold on the creeks.
Thrown From a Wagon.
Wm. Smith, L'O-yearold sun of Geo. L.
Smith, three miles southeast of Garn'eld,
