Bergman Enjoyed Liberty Little Less Than’ One Year i. ee MADE DARING ESCAPES Recaptured in Northern Min- nesota by Chief Keeper Osjord of Prison Arthur Smith and William Berg- man, convicts who effected a daring escape from the North Dakota State penitentiary last January 6, were re-' turned to the prison today after hav- ) ing been captured at International Falls, Minnesota, a lumber town in the northern part of that state. The capture of Smith and Bergman al- most cleared the slate of the pr y one convict, Frank Newton, being ut liberty, and his capture is expected soon, Wiarden J. J. qlee said to Chief Keeper G. K. Osjord of the prison captured the two prisoners, tracing them in northern Minnesota after Warden Lee had _ received a “lead” through Deputy Sheriff Flatos of Sargent count® Ever since the « escape of the men the prison officials have been tracing the pair through officials by other means, the warden said, Smith was serving 20 years in pri- son at the time of his escape, having been sent up from Ramsey county, and Bergman was serving a five-year term for automobile theft, from Barnes county. It was Smith's sec- ond escape, he having made a daring dash for liberty in 1921, Bergman, according to the warden, would have been pardoned or paroled by this time if he had not escaped. The two prisoners will be charged with es- caping and additional time given { them, and their hair will be kept cut short for a year, the warden said. Both returned with Osjord, without 1 trouble. eee oa on, A Daring Escape The escape of Bergman and Smith was one of the most daring in many years. They were working in the prison kitchen last January, Secur- ing saws, they sawed bars from the over the railroad gate. Jack Lon- gree, who tried to escape-with them,’ suffered a broken ankle in the 20-foot | f-gave all his money to Smith and sur- rendered. ‘ After several days searching in northern Minnesota, Chief Keeper Osjord located Smith in jail at In- ternational Falls and nabbed Berg- man as he entered intending to seek Smith’s liberty on bond, Both were under assumed names. Returns To Search 7 After Warden Lee received the clue to the whereabouts of the pair, he sent Osjord to northern Minnesota) where the convicts were supposed to be working on a road camp. When ae Osjord got there the foreman recog- nized the picture of Bergman, but informed Osjord that the man, using the name of Jack Maloney, had left four days before. Bergman, he said, was riding in an open Ford runabout, with a home-made box on it, Osjord came home, but two days later was i sotu, on re- Osjord secreted himself in a hotel room and watched from the window for an entire day. He finally tocated an automobile answering the desetip- tion of Bergman's. There was no of- ficer in Big Timber, While waiting in the hotel, Osjord engaged two strangers in conversation, und it de- veloped that 1 man named Dale had been arrested on a minor offense and that “Big Jack” who ,proved tg be Bergman, going to International Falls to get him out. Osjord hurried to International Falls and | showed pictures of the convicts to the sheriff. 4 The sheriff told him to look the pri- soner over. Osjord did, saw Smith reading a book but did not let it be i known he recognized him, As he and officers were preparing to go back to Big Timber to get Bergman, the convict drove up in his automobile. Osjord hid behind the door as Berg- man came in, Seeing Bergman, Osjord motioned the sheriff he was the right man and the sheriff pulled his gun. Osjord then stepped up and said “Hello Bergman.” The convict fell back, taken by surrrise, but could not deny his identity. The two came back without trouble. WORKMEN MUST SUE IN S. D. The state supreme court, affirming 4 the district court of Hettinger coun- ty, today decided that John Paulos, : who claimed he suffered injuries \ while working in the coal mine at Haynes, North Dakota, owned by the State of South Dakota, must seek re- lief in his own state.

COUNTY BOAR ASKS CONCRETE’ ROAD TO ‘PEN’ Board of County Commission- ers Passes Resolution For U. S., State Aid The Board of County Commission- ers of Burleigh county, before con- here yesterday, adopted a resolution asking the state highway commission to undertake construction of a cement highway ast pn the peni- tentiary road to a point just beyond the prison. A change in the road would be made to carry it through the prison grounds, eiiminating two railroad crossings on the National Parks Highway. The resolution adopted by county board is as follows: “Be it Resolved by the board of county commissioners of Burleigh county: That the state highway commission be and hereby is requested to pro- ceed with the preparation of surveys, plans, specifications and estimates re- quired for the following described state highway improvement: the Local name of road—National Parks Highway. Type of proposed improvement— pavement; approximate mileage, 2.4. Beginning at the intersection of Main and Ninth streets, ending at a point on the south line of Section Two, Township 138, range 80, feet west of the southeast corner of said section. “That the sion be furthe ite highway commis- requested to take all operation with the United States in order to obtain Federal aid to the extent of not to execed 50 percent of the total estimated cost of con- struction, or the maximum legal Federal aid per mile; “That the state highway commis- n be further requested to appro- priate and set aside to the credit of this project the sum of $30,000.00, or such amount as may be available, as state aid toward the cost of con- struction of the project. “In consideration of the forego- ing, the board of county commission- ers hereby agrees that it will, at the request of the state highway com- mission, secure title to such, rights- of-way as may be found necessary; “It is further agreed that the county will pay its share of the total cost; of construction, which share shall be approximately fifty percent of the total actu4l cost, less state aid paid; and that the board of county commissioners will set aside by appropriate resofution when requested to do so by the state high- way commission, sufficient funds to meet the county’s share of the total estimated cost of the project, such estimated cost to include 10 percent for engineering and contingencies.” The total cost of the road, accord- ing to E, G. Patterson, chairman of the board, would be about $125,000. The county’s actual payment toward the building, he said, would be but a few thousand dollars, stating that funds would, come chiefly from the Federal aid, state aid and property benefitted. The proposed work would be done next, year. The road, he added, would be the first step in a concrete road to Fargo, which he said must come in a few years, since it cos more to maintain a heavily traveled gravel highway than to build a paved highway. iBUYS TAXICAB 639! cording to steps necessary toward securing co-|s ithe month of November to ‘date, SO HE CAN GET TO HIS TRAIN Vancou B.

Report promptly to your city or county health offi- cer and exclude from school all children coming from families or premises under quarantine. “This disease is not very well un- derstood, but think it is safe to gay that it is transmitted by human contact.
