IKTMCE GIIIE SHERIFF TIP OH MFUemVES Everett and Albertson Told llteir Story to Wrong Man at Cut Bank. Satisfied that their best efforts had been devoted to the business o* escap ing from the Cascade count.v jail and that their capture bad been brought •boot through no fault of their own, Wendell Everett and Robert Albortson, federal prisoners and at liberty since they evaded the vigilance of a jailor last Monday, offered no apologies for having made their break when UnJersheriff Al bert Marion and Deputy W. E: Hplan called for them at Cut Bank Saturday morning, and eTen grinned as they gave this explanation. "The door was open; can you blame wa?" The men were picked through infor mation given Sheriff A. P. Davis of Cut Bank by a man whom they had consid ered worthy of their confidence. The fugitives reached Cut Bank Thursday, Albertson hiding out and Everett going into town for supplies. In the city. Everett, who is under sentence to serve 15 months at Leavenworth for a viola tion of the Harrison drug act, met a congenial spirit in the person of a man described to the local officers as a "hophead" and told him bis story, think ing that through him lie could obtain assistance. Tells the Sheriff. Tita, new acquaintance described a ranch a short distance from the city where Albertson and Everett might re main in safety until the hunt subsided, and -to this place they went Friday morning. Almost immediately after their departure from Cut Bank the man who had sent them to the ranch gave Sheriff Davis the tip and they were tak en into custody late in the afternoon. After getting safely away from the jail Monday night, Everett and Albert caon ran west in Third alley north to the park and on over the railroad tracks to the river, eventually reaching the First avenue bridge and walking to Man chester. The next day they caught a freight train and dropped off at Conrad for something to eat, Everett entering a pool hall as a party of men were read ing The Tribune's account of their es cape. Deny Hitting Stipecti. Everett says that a native asked him whether he didn't think the get-a-way of the prisoners was pretty tough on the jailor responsible, and he replied that he reckoned it was. He stopped in the pool hall for a short time, leaving with out anyone suspecting that he was one of the fugitives. The prisoners denied that they struck Tony Stipech, a trusty, with a bottle before leaving the jail. Stipech saw them, they admit, as they ran through the boiler room, but they profess to be lieve that he did not know who they were until it was too late to interfere. They both confirmed the statement of other prisoners that they slipped out of the cell when the jailor's back was turn ed and hid under the basement stair way six hours before leaving.

According to Frank Gackey, secretary of the Columbia corporation, the inter est shown in the subscription for stock in that organization during the first two weeks it has been working has far surpassed all expectations of the offi cials. The working force has not yet been put into the field and all subscrip tions made to the present have been gathered by two or three representa tives of the company who will become active workers on the field force selling the stock. Mr. (Jackey says that business men of the city are showing a most friendly concern in helping to get the company started on its stock selling campaign. One subscription voluntarily made takes $.1,000 in stock nad there is now a sub stantial total in the subscriptions on hand.

An increase of 33 per cent in the price of cabbage, announced by the govern ment for January, may be traced direct ly to the 'Maggie and Jiggs'* comic fea ture, says a Great Falls commission man. 'It's a case of psychology, the power of suggestion and advertising," declared this merchant. "More than 20,000 persons in Great Falls read The Tribune every day. Most of them are interested in the doings of 'Maggie and Jiggs' in 'Bringing Up Father, and all are in sympathy with Jiggs' fight to get corned beef and cab bage on the table.
