Leaping from a moving train into the snow at the highest point on the trip from Memphis, Tenn., to Santa Ana, Harry At Coyle, alias Clarke and Harvey, wanted in San Francisco and Santa Ana on various charges, escaped from the custody of Sheriff C. E. Jackson Saturday night and is still at large. Emulating the feats of the famous Roy Gardner, Coyle seized the first opportunity in spite of the nature of the country into which he was escaping. The escape occurred on the Denver and Rio Grande railroad between Tennessee Pass and Mitchell, the high east point on the line, at an elevation said to be between ten thousand and eleven thousand feet. This place is about twelve miles from Leadville, Colorado. The train was traveling down grade at an estimated speed of 30 miles an hour at the time, according to Sheriff Jackson, who reached Santa Ana last night. The train went on to a station three or four miles beyond the point at which Coyle left the train. There the sheriff left the train and caught another back to the scene of the escape. The sheriff was notified by telephone at Leadville and came with a pessie to assist the Orange County sheriff. Due to the extreme cold and the light clothes worn by Coyle, it was not expected that he could survive the night without aid of some kind. He was said to have had matches in his pockets at the time he leaped from the train. Coyle left the train about 7:30 in the evening. He had just finished a meal in the dining car with the sheriff, who had removed his handcups for the occasion. Jackson had gone to the washroom after the meal. He left the door open and was keeping a close watch on Coyle. The man suddenly seized his hat and overcoat pushed past the brakeman in the vestibule and without looking to right or left, leaped from the moving train. Published reports of the escape were carried in the Leadville News and descriptions of the man were given to all train crews passing through the vicinity. The Colorado Hangers were also warned to be on the lookout for the man. He is expected to be taken if he does not perish from the extreme cold according to the Colorado sheriff. Victor La Mont, chairman of the fifth annual Red Cross roll call, has adopted a new plan in conscripting nearly every business man of importance in Anaheim as a donater of at least $10.

Chairman La Mont requests that his bookholders complete their work this week, if possible, returning the stubs and money to him or leaving the record and remittance at the chamber of commerce offices, 132 North Los Angeles street, where satisfactory receipt will be issued. Several of the solicitors completed their work before last Saturday. Merchants and others who were not in their stores when solicitors called or were not given a book, will be given one immediately if they will phone either 398w or 665.

Just Plain Cow, But Some Milk Producer PASADENA, Nov. 16.—She is just a plain bossy, devoted to the production of milk rather than the winning of stock show prizes.
