I had heard of the foulness of Mexi can, prisons, but I never imagined there could be a place so awful as that into which I was thrown," he said. "One day the guards threw into my cell two rattle snakes, with the hope that they would kill me. I killed the Snakes. The same performance later , was repeated." , Finally, said Bender, he was condemned to be shot, but he made friends with one of his guards, who aided him to escape. In making his way to the west coast he had to cross a river on a log,, but the current carried him along for eighteen hours '-before, he succeeded in reaching the bank.

DECLARES ROOSEVELT IS FOR SELF ALONE Senator La Follette Hits Back at - the Progressive Candidate in Weekly Magazine. TALKS OF POLITICAL GAME Says Former President Wonld . Be Satisfied with A Id rich and Cannon If lie Wins, ' MADISON, Wis., Aug. 10. Senator Rob ert M. La Follette In his weekly maga sine takes a hard editorial rap at Roose velt, "declaring that the colonel has bean ungrateful to his friends and that his waste tawsard'of ethics is his own per sonal success. Senator La Follette In his editorial article says in parti ' -"The last thing to be tolerated of a new political party,- professing to stand for progress, is to hark back" to boss and ma chine rule' through 'threats and coercion of candidates f6r office. And yet Roose velt threatens to beat senators, congrjss men, governdrs, sheriffs and coroners un less they declare for' him. ' "Loyalty to progressive principles ' baa nothing to do' with the matter. In Ohio Judge E. B. Dillori was nominated on tho republican ticket for governor. Dillon was enough 'of a progressive to be ac ceptable to progressives. But Rooseveit thereafter demanded that Dillon declare for him (Roosevelt) or face the opposi tion of a second candidate. Dillon, very properly refused and withdrew as a can didate. ; "Governor-4)enecn of Illinois was not asked by Roosevelt's agent how he would stand as to , Lorlmer's successor or whether he would support a progressive state program. The Illinois congressmen Were not catechised as to their position on national legislation. , But they are plainly given to understand that if they declare for Roosevelt they will be aided, or at least will not be opposed by Roose velt." That is the meaning of the telo gram which each one received from Roof evelt's managers in Illinois. ' ' "Support of Me," Sole Test! How do you stand on mer is Roose velt's sole test of qualification for a pro gressive. ! y What would become of the progressive movement under such . leadership, And yet, , it is exactly the plan Roosevelt pursued when president. It Is the Roose velt way. He supported Lodge for United States senator two" years ago, and Pen rose for United States senator four years ago. He has always played this kind of a political game., "It Is characteristic of Roosevelt that, while, he seises upon Issues that make gooa propaganda and gives them pub- uuuy. no nas not the patience nor . blllty nor depth of conviction to prevent his sacruicing essential principles and permanent results to personal considera tions and temporary advantage. It was this that made his administration as president, althqugh a time of reform agitation, barren of construct e legisla tion, and a period for growth of evils that might have been avoided under wiser leadership." Four Men Drowned Near Benton, Wis. GALENA, III., Aug. lO.-Four men were drowned at the Frontier Lead and Zinc mine, Benton, Wis., fifteen miles north of here today. The men were Thomas McGulr'e, John Swift. Joseph Shea, Edward Hlrd. The first three went down to bail out thirty feet of water and were ' over come by foul air and fell into the water.

BULL MOOSKRSTO GATHEB AGAIN Convention of Two Weeks Ao to Be Reassembled as if It Had Taken a Recess and Had Not Adjourned. Nebraska politics which have been rather, quiescent since the platform conventions promise to pick - up -some- the coming week, although no one expects the cam paign to get on a full head before next month. - Both v state committees made by the doublet conventions In Lincoln, and each claiming to be the regular republican organisation, are to be convened in Lin coln. The oommlttee named by the Al-drlch-Yelscr convention, which made H. M. Bushnell of Lincoln temporary chair man, Is to have a session Tuesday to choose permanent officers. This commit tee is the one that is essaying to turn, the machinery of the republican party so far as concerns the presidential ticket, over to the candidate of the new pro gressive party, and the pins are said to be sot to make F. P. Corrick ot Lincoln, chairman. Mr. Corrick was secretary of the state committee several years ago and has aspired ever since to the chair manship. He was in the La Follette pew In the primary, but has since slid over Into a Roosevelt scat. , ' The committee named by the regular republicans, of which General J. IL Cul ver o'f Milord Is acting chairman, is called to meet at the Lincoln hotel at 2 p. m., Wednesday. The notices for the meeting are being sent, out by Secretary Frank Shotwell, and Inform members that the purpose Is to effect a permanent organisation, and transact any other busi ness that may come up. far as is known no slate has been made up for the official places. . . ..... , In the meantime the candidates nomi nated on the state ticket as republicans are having their troubles, being sum moned peremptorily by the bull moosers to side in with them, or take the oonse- pact to hold a family gathering, to talk the situation over, and dlsoover, if they can, just where they are at. The chief difficulty arises over the electoral ticket, which is divided between Taft and Roose velt supporters, and every one running for state office sees the necessity of hav ing this kink ironed out, so as to make It possible to vote a straight ticket if de sired. What most ot the candidates would like Is to have two sets ot electors, one labeled, "republican" and the other "progressive," and have their own names carry both labels. ; . i ; r ; t . ' Bull Moose Program. . Tho political wise .ones are also looking tor a cat) to be Issued ton tb organisa tion of a straight-out bull moose party la Nebraska.' The bull moose convention that met in Lincoln two weeks ago did not do anything but choose delegates to the contention at Chicago, making every thing etse dependent upon action to be taken there. It is said now that the con vention did not adjourn, but merely took a recess, subject to call of he chair, and that instead of having a brahd new "con vention the old one will be' reconvened, taking no chances on having Intruders get control. This convention will name a set of eight presidential electors for the Roosevelt ticket.' presumably five or six of those already nominated, with two or three names added. What It will do on the rest of the ticket' is uncertain, but the assumption la that It will ' endorse those candidates that take oath to gup port Roosevelt and join the third party and either pass up the others or put in new nominations. This bull moose con vention will probably be held in Omaha the first part of September in hope of making a better showing than was made in. Lincoln, where it drew less than 100 delegates and spectators all told, and It is possible some big-gun speaker may be sent In to help drum up a crowd. Kansas Federal Judge Eestrains Woodmen Camps ROCK ISLAND, 111.. Aug. 10.-(Spec!al Telegram.) Judge Ralph4 C. Campbell of the federal court Sitting at Fort Scot, Kan., today issued a sweeping temporary Injunction restraining 163 local camps of the Modern Woodmen of America, out of 000 camps in that state from proceeding with the organisation of a seceding order Called the Kansas Fraternal Woodmen. The court forbids action of any kind or character until August 24, the date set fur final hearing. v 1 Head Clerk C. W. Hawes at the. head quarters of the society in this city said the society's counsel entertained not the slightest doubt the temporary Injunction would- be made permanent. The head clerk said: . . "The secession is due in part to re vision of rates of the society at the Chi cago meeting of the head camp of the national convention last January, . but principally it is the desire of a few dis quieted Woodmen for office. ' They are using this rate change as a pretext. We hSY the support overwhelmingly of a majority of the members and all state insurance departments In the action taken by our supreme lawmaking body. Tho society is now doing business on new rates and thousands of old members are transferring to the new plans every day." Body of Murdered ; Man Found on Top of an Express Car ABERDEEN, 8.
