WILL GIVE UP SEARCH.
Murdoch and Grigwar, Escaped Prison
ers. Still at Large.

Leavenworth. Kan. April 23.-Fa-
tigued after two days hunt for the
escapes from the federal prison. who
are still at large. 25 guards spent an
other restless night in Salt Creek val
lev last night watching fer Theodore
Murdoch and Frank Grigwar The
guards were on the point of giving up
the search about o'clock when man
answering the description of Murdoch
was seen sleeping in the brush by Il
boy II miles west OF here. The boy ran
home to get a gun. but when he re-
turned the mar: was gone. This led
Deputy Warden F. H. Lemon not to re-
turn to the prison last night.
The guards. who have been on the
hunt since Thursday morning We're TOD
tired to continue the active search and
oontented themselves with patrolling
all the roads leading out of Salt Creek
valley. Deputy Warden Lemon is of
the opinion that at least one Of the
couvic-s is still in the valley, after the
boy reported to him that he had seen
q man of Murdock's description.
If the prisoners are not sighted again
today, it is probable that the search
will be abandoned. If the prisoners
have not slipped through the line of
guards before this time they will be
forced by hunger to enter a. farm house
sooner or later and reveal their pres
ence The couvicts had with them only
the dinner pail that they took from

TOO COLD FOR HIM.
Weather Prevents Aviator From Win
ming $4,000 Prize.

London, April 23.-Graham White, the
English aviator who started this morn
ing on a biplane flight from NORWOOD
Scrubs, London, for Manchester, in an
attempt to win the prize of $4,000 of
fered by morning newspaper, had ac-
complished more than half of the jour
ney when compelled to descend on ac-
count of the intense cold. He hoped
however to complete his fight this
afternoon.
The distance between London and
Manchester is 1876 miles, and under the
terms of the prize offered only two
descents are permitted. White used q
Farman biplane. He reached Rugby,
the first stopping place, in two hours
and after an hours rest, reascended,
intending to fly to Crewe. where he had
arranged to make his second descent.
A few miles north of Rugby the aviator
encountered a cold north wind and
after completing lis miles of the trip
he was compelled to alight. Today
there was sudden change from warm
to wintry weather and unless the wind
moderates it is doubtful whether the
aviator can complete his fight in one
day as is required. The leg from Lon
don to Rugby is IS miles.
