Wayne Prisoner Makes Escape.

Passengers on a West Huntington

picture thrill last night when a prison
e escaped from the authorities as he
was about to be placed on the car.
The man was James Myers, wanted
at Wayne Court House on a felony in

shaw came from Wayne after the man
and sought the assistance of Deputy
Sheriff d. w. Frampton and County
Taller John Chapman.
Myers was rounded up in West
Huntington. The Wayne deputies did
not think it necessary to handcuff him.
Just as the officers were taking Myers
on street car he was OFF with
whoop.
Frampton and Chapman pulled their
reyolvers and fired in an effort to
frighten the man, but the shots added
speed to his feet.

PLENTY OF SPUDS
DESPITE DROUTH
Late Potatoes in County Spoiled by
Long Spell of Heat and Lack OF
Rain, Dealers Say.
EARLY CROP Is NOT AFFECTED
Prices Remain Normal As Rock Island
Does Not Depend On Home Grown
Variety for Table Supply.

The late potato crop in the majority
Of fields in Rock Island county is
spoiled. The hills, at the best, will give
up nothing but small spuds and in
some places none will be found at all.
But there is a rift in the cloud. Lo-
cal dealers say that they do not de-
pend very much upon on the late po-
tato crop for the table. The early
crop is all in and the potatoes are of
good quality and plentiful. Besides,
dealers say, they do not depend on the
Rock Island county crop, SO therefore
little apprehension need be feared 10
cally of a shortage of spuds.
If the late crop is spoiled over a
wide area of the country the prices
may be boosted a little. But at pres
ent prices are normal. Potatoes are
now selling for so cents a peck. Sew
eral years ago at this time of year,
spuds brought so and 60 cents a peck.
Eight years ago potatoes went as high
as so cents a peck in the late summer.
Dealers do not fear a dearth of
spuds, however, and it is expected
within a few weeks that there will be
shipments of the late crops from the
north. The drouth was not of as long
duration in northern states as in the
central Mississippi valley.
Heat ShriveIs Tops.
The heat and lack of rain shriveled
up the tops of the potatoes. Most of the
farmers claim that their late spud
crops are ruined, but some declare
that the rain came just in time and
that the plants are doing well now.
