Fat Prisoner Sticks In Hole.
“Never allow a fat prisoner
lead the way to freedom through
an underground passage.’
This lesson was learned by eight
prisoners in the Knox County jul
last night.
Perhaps the escape might have
been consummated had it not been
for the large Thanksgiving feast fur
nished prisoners by the sheriff, The
to
sary for the many things he stowed
away that it is thought to have been
the reason for his inability to
through.
The prisoners had raised a cube
from the steel floor of a cell, and in
some way had all dirt exc avated from
a passage to the outside. When the
time for the escape came the fat
prisoner was selected to :

Deputy
George J. Gould is one
who isn't a process dodger
Sheriff Jacob Baum, of Denver, had
some papers to serve on him the
other day, and it was only after a
long parley that the visitor clerk,
who was guarding the door of the
room in which Mr. Gould and officials
of the Denver and Rio Grande were
conferring, informed Mr. Gould that
a deputy sheriff awaited him in the
hallway,
“1 am Mr. Gould. Would you like
to see me?" asked the railroad man,
a moment later, to the deputy. They
shook hands cordially and Mr. Baum
served the summons.
“1 am sorry to have
waiting,” said Mr. Gould, "and much
obliged for your courtesy By the
way,” he continued, “this is the first
time 1 have ever beeg served with
legal processes in my life.”
He shook hands again with the
leputy and returned to the meeting.
The suit in which Mr. Gould was
served involves a carload of apples.

shipped the apples to Kansas City

Expectations for a record-breaking

the season, but reports of mercantile
collections show much irregularity.
Improvements in the promptness of
payments is expected when the cropeg

greater ease appears in money rates,
which are far above normal, despite
the fact that the total amount in
circulation exceeds all records. Very
little idle machinery is noticed in
