BICYCLE
THIEF
UNEASY
Made an Attempt TO Break
Sail by Saving Way
Out

Yesterday another attempt was
rsndo aT inmates to saw their way out
OF tbe county jail. This kind Of news
IS mot surprising these days, as every
@osy Eaows that Marion county's re.
R01f0E TOR criminals is anything but
safe About noon Miss Dean WitzeIl,
SeDuW county recorder, noticed that
a0Dehng unusual was going on at
0ne Of the north windows of the Jail,
und sr erin Culver's attention was
gaIad To it. Upon examination st
DrUrs6 that one Kryson, who is serv.
hDg y 90-day sentence for stealing a
bicycle, was doing some smooth work
In the way of saving of one OF the
Nrun bars of the window. II was soon
iROund by the officers that the man
had 3nade a saw of an old clock
spuHE about 10 inches in length,
win which he had sawed one of the
bsrs 1wothlrds of. He afterwards adj.
Hnhtsd that the work had been done
In i've Minutes, and that had he not
heEn disturbed 1t would have been
only a matter OF a short time until
sSshhchent bars were cut>to let all pass
out in she early hours of the night.
EaW /
The prisoner claims that he found
she Nprtng and a piece OF an old file

Shis STORY is not believed. He is EVIL.
danae a good mechanic to be able to
hAS~ made so good a saw from the
stt0 of steel. and Il ia probable that
lis ut his first piece Of work at the
hn@ art. II is also thought by Sheriff
Culver that Harry Dunn, the window
SmAsher, was a silent partner In the
oct, and both have since been kept In
their cells.
H. Is no secret that our county jail
~ GAL Of date. and that II is unsanl.
tam, and that II is not burglar proof"
sheriff Culver says he shall expect TO
guard any prisoners of importance In
\ mture. There other defects about
b old court house that ought TO
nave attention, and It Is no doubt the
expectation OF the county court to
Regulate them all at some future pc. ,
Fiod The roof Is In bad shape, and In
the rainy season there are no less

WRECK ON
RUTLAND
Four Cars TeIeScopcd Near
Burlington.
NO PASSENGERS HURT
The North Bound Sleeper Sunday
Morning Met a Freight
Train.
NO PASSENGERS HURT

Charlotte, Jan. 3l;-As the result of
a collision between the north bound
sleeper from New York and a south
bound freight train this morning four
freight cars we're telescoped, several
thousand bushels of potatoes we're dis
tributed about the surrounding terri
tory and an engine was badly damag-
ed. The wreck occurred about 4;30
this morning and was at the switch
just north of the station at this Will
age.
The freight train was pulling on a
siding to clear the track for the sleep
er but failed to get out of the way on
time. AS a result the sleeper crashed
into the four rear cars Of the freight
completely demolishing them and
spilled the contents. There were
half a dozen men in the caboose but
none of them were seriously injured.
The caase of the accident is hard to
determine. Engineer Mason of the
sleeper supposed the freight was out
of the way, and when he saw that the
freight had not cleared, applied the
brakes but the train was going at full
speed and could not be stopped in time
to prevent the collision.
The freight train was loaded with
potatoes for the city markets. These
were thrown about the territory sur
rounding the track and thrifty resi-
dents in the vicinity made haste to sec
ure a supply,
The engine on the sleeper was badly
damaged but was not put out Of com
mission and was safely run to Burliug-
ton. An engine with held was sent
here from Burlington and a wreck
train came from Rutland. The track
vas not badly torn up and the wreck
was cleared away so that trains could
pass at about II o'clock.
No one one on the passenger train
was injured. The application of the
emergency brakes gave them an intim-
alton that a crash might be expected
but the contact with the freight was,
hardly noticeable.
