BANK BANDITS AGED
| MOTHER MAY HAVE
HELPED HIM ESCAPE:
Harrisburg Police Trying to Lo-
cate Mrs. Hohl Who Re-
Gently Visited Son
CRAWLED THROUGH WINDOW
Guard Saw Rope Hanging Along
Jail Wall When Making
His Rounds
CRAWLED THROUGH WINDOW

Frank G. Hohl, of this city, arrest
ed last week as the Altoona bank ban
dit early yesterday morning escaped
from the Holiidaysburg Jail.
Altoona police believe that plans for
Hollis escape started with his mother,
Mrs. Annie Hohi of this city, to the
Blair county Jail last Thursday.
The mother, who resides at 316
Court street. could not be found at her
home either yesterday or to-day by the
Harrisburg police. Search is being
made for the aged woman, who, 1t Is
suspected, aided in her boys escape.
In making his rounds in the Holli-
daysburg Jail yards at o'clock yes
terday morning, prior to his being re-
lieved from night duty a watchman
saw a rope dangling from the win
dow of the cell in which Hohl had
been placed. An investigation brought
the discovery that the prisoner had
escaped.
The Altoona Times says:
The bandit escaped by defying the
laws of gravity and nature, squeezing
his body through the window of his
cell, an aperture scarcely large enough
to admit breath of fresh air, and
thence climbing to the roof of tho
jail. While guard placidly patrolled
the jail yard to prevent the prisoners
escape, the man stole across the root
of the building to the front wall,
where he lowered himself to freedom
with the aid of rope made of pieces
of cloth torn from the mattress in his
CELL
Through a slit measuring just five
and seven-eighths inches in width he
forced his body, and then defying the
laws of gravity. pulled himself to the
jail roof, two feet above the win
dow. From there he managed to
climb over three sections of roof until
he finally reached the front of the
jail. Tying his readymade rope about
the chimney, he lowered himself down
the outside of the Jail to the top OF
the wall surrounding the jail yard.
From the top of the wall to the street

GET RID OF THE TREES

No town of much consequence
permits trees and particularly
large and unsightly ones, to OBJ
struct the view and interfere
with free traffic IN it's business
district. Cedar City at present
is an exception to this rule. but
a movement was placed on foot
by the Commercial Club last
Saturday night for the remedy
Of this undesirable condition. 1t
was the unanimous sentiment of
the members present that the
trees must go and at once. The
trees on Nam street are the OBJ
stacle that stands in the way of
the removal of the telephone and
electric light poles and wires
from the center of the street to
the curb, a matter that is also
receiving the attention or the
Commercial Club.
1t is likely that a sort of bee
will be called for the clearing
of Main street of trees and un.
slightly stumps. and as soon as
this is accomplished the Light
and Telephone companies will be
requested to move their poles
and lines to the side of the
street, when it is expected thai
Main street will be nicely
graded and shaled. This will
entirely alter the appearance Of
the town. and make it look Xix,

THE DON'T WORRY CLUB

The Record this week took
out a membership card in the
Don't Worry Club by the placing
of an order for a standard
double magazine Mergenthaler
Linotype machine, which if no
unforeseen delays occur should be
in operation in our Office before
the end of the present month.
Our growing business makes
this improvement necessary at
this time, and the installation of
this machine, the standard the
world over for rapid and effici-
ent composition of type, places
Iron County's newspaper among
the ranks of Utah's very best
weeklies and semi-weeklies and
is in line with The Records
policy of always keeping a little
in advance of the times, and
other conditions in the COM
muDity.
Hereafter we will be prepared
to meet all demands for prin-
ting, both newspaper, book and
job composition, and new posi-
bilities in the way of special
editions, etc.. are unfolded to
us.
The machine represents a
heavy outlay on our part. and
we trust that the business men
of the town and other progress
