bed and tried to lower himself from
a window while yelling for help at the
top Of HRS voice.
Finding that the distance was too
great to drop. Brady jerked the sheet
from the bed. twisted the cloth into
a rope and began to climb down the
improvised IRE escape.
The sheet parted when Brady was
twenty feet from the ground and he
fell, landing on his back on the con.
crete pavement. Stu imagining he
was being pursued. Brady. clad only
In his underclothing, ran down the
street yelling for help.
A Waterman attempted to intercept
him. but Brady brushed the of1cer
aside. Finally some person In the
neighborhood telephoned to the police.
Detectives who responded to the call
overlook Brady and took him TO the
receiving hospital There the police
surgeons bandaged bruises and abra-
sions on his back and arms.
After his injuries had been treated
Brady appeared to realize that he was
safe from pursuit.

Two hundred ears of choice sweet
corn had been fastened to the line be-
fore 1t was hoisted into position. Her
sey believed the corn was out OF the
way of birds and that Il would not be
disturbed.
One morning Hersey went to the
back yard to see how the corn was
preserving and was surprised to find
that twenty ears next to the south
post had been stripped of their kern
els. Just before dark he went to the
back yard and found the corn gone
from fifteen more ears.

sey arose befose daylight and con.

flew up to the wire, walked along the
line until the good ears OF corn were
reached and began picking the kernels
from the cob
Hersey AYERS that the hen shelled
the corn from the ear and that It
dropped to the ground where 1t was
greedily devoured by her chickens. He
says he watched the hen until she had
stripped two ears of the corn from the

Down Big Trees.
OXNARD, Cal.-It remained for the
wind to disobey an INDUCTION OF the
Superior Court by blowing down two
immense black walnut trees In the
center of Fifth street. The trees were
part of two rows half block lolg,
which the city had for more than q
year been trying to remove by legal
processes.
Mrs. Aranetta Hill, who owned
much OF the land on which Oxnard IL
located, had the trees planted on her
ranch many years ago. from nuts OBJ
tanned from her home place In the
East. When the land on which they
stood was needed for continuation
OF Oxnard's main street she decided IL
to the supervisors with certain pro-
visions restraining the cutting down
Of the trees.
Just how binding these restrictions
are the courts have been endeavoring
to decide for more than a year. In
the meantime. disregarding the tenn.
porary restraining order in effect dur
ing the litigation, a sudden and ro-
bust windstorm took matters In Its
own control as regarded two Of the
