Buffalo, N. Y, June II, 1902
Our extensive newspaper advertising
has created for Force a demand
which we were unable to fOresee and

inadequate facilities. Realizing the sit

nearly completed the other of which is
about half finished.
Although our present factory is
working day and night, we are able to

is unsatisfactory both to ourselves and
to dealers and puts US in the position
OF simply creating a. demand for substi-
tute articles. Rather than do this we
prefer to discontinue our advertising

tisements until further notice. In
creased facilities will undoubtedly en-

PRISONERS BREAK JAIL.
OverpOWer JailOr Crooks and Make a
Successful Dash for the Outer
World.
Patterson Goes Out First and Then K1S-
tlemeyer Forces the Jail Door
Held by Mrs. Small.

Two prisoners, Henry kistle-
meyer and Joseph Patterson, over
powered Jailor Crooks at about $40
O. clock last Friday evening, and af-
ter forcing him to the ground, forced
their way through the iron door
held by Mrs. Alvin Small, and made
their escape from the county Jail.
kistlemeyer was in from Walnut
Grove. He was awaiting the action
OF the grand jury on a charge OF
burglary in connection with having
broken into Walnut Grove saloon
some time ago. Joe Patterson was
in from Vesta. He was doing 80
days sentence for being drunk and
disorderly in Vesta, and had been
in the Jail since Aug. 9th last, has
ing served all but 81 days of his
sentence.
The Jail breaking was sensational
ia the extreme The two prisoners
were in the corridors. How they
got there Deputy Crooks does not
know. Neither does any one else
connected with the Jail, Mr.. Small
having been at Lamberton on busi-
ness that day When Mr.. Crooks
entered for the purpose Of closing
the cell doors for the night the two
prisoners were standing on either
side of the entrance. They imme-
diately jumped on to him. He went
to the floor at once. Patterson
jumped out of the door of the Jail
and then ran out of the Office to the
open air. Mr.. Crooks called TO Mrs.
Small to close the Jail door. She
did not realize what was going on.
and it was notuntil she heard a sec
ond call that she left her sewing.

and rushed to the Jail door. By

ceased his hold of Mr.. Crooks, made
plunge against the door, forced

At the time of the successful break

were in the cage. They do not

got out of the cage intothe corridor.
but the indications are that the door
must have been unlocked, and after
the two got out they locked the
door and waited for Jailor Crooks
to make his appearance for the clos

jumped on to him and made their es-
cape as stated above.
On Sunday the remaining prison
ers in the county Jail told Sheriff
Small how the two men got into
the corridor. They used a broom
to pry up the bolts from the bottom

wide enough so that they could
reach the Jail door combinations,
unlock the door. and pass out into

AN AIRSHIp WRECKED.


Denver, Sept. 2.-After a lapse OF
more than "a hours, during which
no word was received from the three
aeronauts who left Denver Sunday
to try for a transcontinental balloon
voyage, telegram came last night
announcing that the airship had
been wrecked in storm n miles
north of Florence, Col. Although Sc
verely bruised and somewhat FROST
bitten, the men were not seriously
hurt. The storm first struck the
balloon at 9:3O o'clock Sunday night
and between that hour and daylight
the experience Of the aeronauts was
terrible in the extreme. Three times
the balloon was carried over Pixies
peak and the last time 1t was neces-
sary to throw out all the water, pro-
visions and instruments in order to
clear the rocky summit of the noun
tain. At daylight landing was
made and last night the men reached
Florence.
The adventurous men are Thomas
Baldwin and Percy Hudson, both ex-
perienced balloonists, and c. L. Sher-
man, a Post artist.

A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
An Excursion Train % the South.
sfn Railway Wrecked.
THIRTY PERSONS LOSE THEIR LIVES
Elghty.Ons OthsFs Badly Injured and at
Least Twsnty.Nise Of Them Cannot
Live-Ths Cars Left tho Track
ON . Curve.

Birmingham, A., Sept. 2.-While
rounding a curve on high embank-
ment near Berry, Ala, at $3.50 o'clock
yesterday morning the engine and
four cars Of an excursion train on q
branch of the Southern railway
leaped from the track and rolled over
and over, smashing the coaches and
causing the instant death of 80 per-
sons and the in nry of 81 others.
Physicians say at least 20 of the in
jured cannot live.
With the exception Of H. M. Dud-
ley, trainmaster of the Southern rail-
way, living at Birmingham, and Ros-
coe Shelby, of Columbus, Miss, all Of
the dead and injured are negroes
who had taken advantage of excur-
sion rates from points in Mississippi
to Birmingham. y
When the wreck occurred the train
was running at a rate of 80 miles an
hour and just started around a curve
on top of 6O-foot embankment.
Without warning the tender OF tho
engine suddenly left the track, jerk
ing the engine and the first four
cars with it. There were ten cars In
the excursion train, but the fourth
broke loose from the fifth and with
the heavy engine plunged down the
steep incline. The cars, which were
packed with passengers, turned COM
pletely over several times and were
crushed like egg shells, killing and
crippling the inmates. Persons who
have returned from the scene OF the
wreck say it is indescrlbable. The
dead bodies of the negroes were scat
tered in every direction and the
means and appeals for help from the
wounded were heartrending. AS
soon as the accident was reported
to the officials of the road wrecking
trains carrying physicians were hur-
ried from Columbus, Miss, and Bir-
mingham and everything possible
was done to alleviate the sufferings
of the injured.
