airship answered her helm well,
Beaten Back Over Mainland.
Off Vogel Bay island the America
was freed from her anchor ropes, but
an increasing gale and driving snow
storm beat her backward over the
mainland of Spitzbergen. Seeing the
hopelessness of attempting to battle
with the gale the valves were opened
and the balloon quickly descended on
a glacier.
The occupants of the car secured
the balloon. A rescue party from the
steamer reached the glacier an hour
and half later and had considerable
difficulty in saving the airship. The
balloon portion had to be cut in two
and the car was taken to pieces in
order to enable the rescuers to trans
port it over the ice hills and tissures
to the sea.

drove her southeastward over the land.
1t was found necessary to cut the bal
loon adrift from the other parts of the

days search.
Mr.. Wellman says he will make an
other attempt, with a new airship, in

opinion as to the location of the tracks
either on Stanton avenue or West State
street.
The West State street crowd has pre-
pared formal petition which has found
ready signers. The Stanton avenue
crowd is indignant that an effort be
made to take the railway from them
and argue that Stanton avenue is the
future business street OF the village
and that the sewer of West State street
has already been condemned and would
delay work on the street car construc-
ton. The sentiment toward the In

and citizens was at once organized and
several bloodhounds were brought into
the chase with the hope of capturing
the two men before they succeeded in
making a getaway into the sand dunes
and woods.
One of the men is Frank Biddle, a
notorious horse thief. who is awaiting
trial In Newton county and who was
brought to Rensselaer, for safe keeping
as it was thought that the jail in New
ton county was not strong enough to
hold him. The other is John Mccoy,
who is charged with assault and bat
terry. The men were lodged in the
same cell, and it is thought that they
were aided by pals from the outside
who succeeded in slipping a couple of
files in TO the prisoners.
The men were apparently asleep
last night when the roundsman made
his last call. and 1t is thought that they
filed the bars of the window after that
time. In their cell they placed two
dummies made out of the bed clothes
so that the guards would not miss them.
From the window they had a long drop
TO the ground. They We're missed at
an early hour this morning when it be-
came light enough to see into the cell
and the work Of organizing a posse
was at once taken up.
The men are known to be desperate
and it Is thought that they will not
stop at anything to gain their freedom
They are both known as gun fighters
and may now be armed through the
aid of their friends on the outside and
prepared to put up a stubborn resist
ance.
Biddle is described as being about
five feet, six inches tall. weighing 49,
pounds, has light mustache and wears
a dark suit. He has slightly stooplng
shoulders and brown hair. Mccoy Is
about five feet. one inch tall. weigh
165 pounds, has smooth face and DARK
hair mixed with grey. He also wore
dark suit of clothes.
1t is thought that the men hav,
headed toward the northern part of th'

asked to be on a lookout for the twt
