IRE
Occurs During Progress o.
Heavy Storm

The long heralded and much de.
sired rain came late Friday afternoon,
kept on coming and was still coming
Saturday. The severest parts of the
storm occurred at o'clock Friday
evening and o'clock Saturday morn
ing. Lightning, thunder and wind ac-
companied the furious downpour.
The wind caused a fire in the fiat
occupied by John Harrison, corner
Main and Front streets, above
Charlie Hops laundry. A lace curtain
was carried back into the room and
twisted around burning gas jet.
From the outside, it appeared as if
the whole room were ablaze. Harrison
being absent, the door was broken
down and the flames eXtinguished
shortly before the fire department ar
rived. A large part of the wall paper
was burned.

INJURED
We're Three Men At The Pitts.
burgh Plate Glass Factory

The storm of Friday was indirectly
the cause of three accidents at the
Pittsburgh Plate Glass factory in
South Vernon. 1t appears that such
a storm makes the glass more britt,
thus increasing the danger of break
ing.
Friday afternoon, John Smit'
hi2 left arm badly cut, FIVE stitches
being necessary, because of the snap
ping Of glass roller"
In the evening and from the same
cuuse, Otto Rampeno had an artery
and vein in his left arm severed
SIX stitches being used to close up
the wounds, and Motsey Felim had a
gosh cut entirely through his upper
lip, five stitches being used.
RS. Deeley performed the necessary
surgical work for the three men.

Makes A Clean Getaway
From City Prison
Officers Unable To GGt ANY
Trace Of The Man

William Vanatta, who was arrested
in the Pennsylvania railroad yards
Friday morning on charge of bur-
glary and larceny, alleged to have
been committed in Orrville, Ohio, and
put in the city lookup, remained there
but six hours. He was not given his
freedom. He took the law into his
own hands and in broad daylight,
about o'clock Friday afternoon, took
his farewell of the lookup and the
officers who had placed him there, a
stove door being the means of his
escape.
When the Pennsylvania south bound
train No. 52S, rolled into the city at
o'clock Friday afternoon, off stepped
Constable Huntsberger who keeps an
eagle eye on all malefactors of Orrville
and Wayne county, armed with a war
annoying desperado one Vanatta by
name, who had eluded his clutches, but
who had been located in Mt Vernon.
Jubilant, he accompanied the local
officials to the city lookup. Soon the
prey would be his. Alas and alack!
The door was opened and-the bird
had flown! Disappointment reigned
supreme and Constable Huntsberger
took the next train back, a very dis
heartened man.
1t must be said that Vanatta made
his escape in very smooth fashion.
The only implement in the room which
could possibly be of use was the door
of the stove. This, he unlocked.
Then he stepped to the east window
and gradually pride off the brace
which held the bars in the window.
Then, by what must have been a
prodigious effort, he bent the bars at
the bottom until a space large enough
for his body to pass through was
made. Climbing out on the back roof,
he leaped to the ground and walked
away free man. And all this in
piOdu Udy Ai6hl, Win IOuh III ChlCh olI-
ting in the engine room below These
latter stated that they heard the stove
door drop on the floor above and the
horses were frightened thereby. How,
ever, they thought that nothing was
ainiss and were not even alarmed to
the extent of making an investigation.
Local officers of the law made a
thorough search of the railroad yards
Friday evening in the hopes that
Vanatta might have taken that means
to make good his escape. No trace or
clew was found.
The bars that Vanatta bent were re-
inforced Saturday morning. Chief Of
Police Parker stated that it had been
his opinion all along that mere brace
was too little a precaution against
prisoners escaping Bolts in the
corners of the windows will probably
be put in shortly.
The local officers will leave no stone
unturned to discover the whereabouts
of Vanatta, though the matter, at pres
ent, presents rather hopeless aspect.
