COquile Prisoners
Decide to Return

Coquille Ore, Aug. GA. D.
Weidner and F. w. Raicy, the pair
who escaped from the Coos county
jail week ago, decided to return.
Weidner had been drafted and he
got to thinking that his chances Of
eluding the U. S. officials as we'll as
the Coos county officials was rather
slim, So he and Raicy returned to
Coquille and staid in town overnight
without being molested and the next
morning the pair walked into the
sheriff's office and gave themselves
up.
The two prisoners did not explain
how they succeeded in evading the
officers, but 1t is understood that the
pair we're picked up by young lady
who drives a car to the Fairview
section and were taken from there
almost to Portland.
1t has been great puzzle to the
authorities how they managed to es-
cape from the new Jail. The story
of the unlocking of the new jail's
lock has been forwarded to the man.
ufacturers of the lock for inspection.
It is expected that the latter will send
an expert here to examine into the
matter.
The escaped men tell the story
that they manufactured a key with
which they unlocked the jail door
and escaped, but H. A. Harris, of
the firm of Ladd & Harris, who was
engaged in the construction of the
Jail. laughed at the idea of the men
making key that would unlock such
lock.

Incendiary Bombs
OF German Origin

The Journal of Turlock, Cal.,, con
tanned the following news in a recen
ISSUE
German origin and expert worl
on the fire bombs used to start the
recent fires in this section might in
dicate that German sympathisers
working under cover of the |. w. w
organizations. were responsible fol
the outrages here and in other places
says the Modesto Herald
"The bomb, which is contained in a
small bottle, was found by farmer
north of town in or near his hay
stack and handed to Sheriff Davis,
who sent it to Chemist Happell of
Stockton. Happells investigation
was finished yesterday and the report
forwarded to Sheriff Davis. Accord
ing to the chemist, the bomb is of a
dangerous character and we'll
planned.
"'The fellow who made that bomb
was an expert declared Happell.
No ordinary man could have made
it, for he wouldn't have known how
to prepare it,
"The bomb was encased in small
bottle, about the size of an ordinary
cologne bottle, with a glass cap. The
inside of the bottle was lined with
stiff cloth, which had been treated
with phosphorous. There was also
quite quantity Of sulphur in the
bottle, In the center of the bottle
was small vial filled with water, in
which small tablet Of phosphorous
floated. The vial was tightly corked.
Made in Germany.
"'That vial is in the shape Of an
Erlenmeyer flask said Happell.
you will notice that 1t is tubular in
shape with bulb at the lower end.
The Erlenmeyer flasks are made in
Germany. / have been in the drug
business here for ten years and that's
the first time I have ever ran across
an Erlenmeyer flask in this part of
the country. They are very rare
Carefully Planned.
"The ignition bomb had evidently
been planted by parties who intended
10 return for 1t. AS soon as the cap
was removed from the bottle the
,loth lining began to smoke. If left
exposed for an hour, Happell reports,
he vial would burst and the bomb
ihoot into flames"

that he would rather resign his seat
than give any aid to the enemy.
Referring to the question of peace,

position to the bill could not be con-
strued as disloyalty, but represented
