As soon as the alarm was given, how ever. Drew county officers got up- on the trail of the reseuers and law-breakers, and as a conse- quenee, five of them are now be hind the bars of the Drew county bastile, under bonds of SI,5 each, for their appearance before the Drew Circuit Court. As they are all unable to make bond, 1t is quite likely that an extra term of the Court will be held, and they will be tried on the various charges of robbery larceny, assault with intent to kill and rescuing prison CTS; and they will all most likely get long terms in the penitentiary, for not having sense enough to at tend to their own business One of the rescued prisoners was re captured, but the other was still at large at last accounts.

The Easter cold snap Is regarded
by farmers and fruit growers as the
latest period at which there is dan
ger Of weather cold enough to destroy

has been safely passed
Several days ago there was grave
fear that the two or three cold nights
had destroyed the fruit especially the
peach crop. Upon examination. how
ever it develops that the peach Of ali
fruits has suffered least and that, IN
less blighted between now and matur

Under ordinary conditions, this IS
due to be a fine peach year. A per

there were practically no peaches in

crop was not perfect by any means.
