SIX PRISONERS MAKE
EXCAPE At ROsEDALE
JAIL DELIVERY OCCURS SAT.
URDAY NIGHT.

Special to The Commercial Appeal
Rosedale, Miss, June 27.-A Jail
delivery occurred in this city last
night between 8 and 10 o'clock,
in which two alleged murderers
and four other persons made their
escape. The jailer, M. Rosenfield,
had allowed the prisoners to re-
main in the bull ring instead of
locking them in their cells. He
says that he had been in the habit
CT allowing them to stay in the
outer room until bedtime on ac-
count of the intense heat of the
cells. The chief deputy sheriff,
Mr.. Dickson, was absent, being at
Shaw on business, and Mr.. Rosen-
field was around town until be-
tween 8 and 10 o'clock, when he
went into the Jail to put the pris-
oners in their cells, and found
them gone and hole dug through
the wall at window on the north
side of the Jail, practically at the
same place other prisoners dug out
on two other occasions in the past.
Immediately after the escape
was discovered bloodhounds were
ordered from Memphis and they
came as far as Clarksdale, when
the owner refused to come further
as the trip would have to be made
in an automobile and he said the
dogs would be tired from the trip
and would not be in shape to
make a run.
Following are the names and de-
scriptions of the escaped prison
ers: Jake Lee, held for murder,
about 80 years old, tall and slen-
der, brown skin; Johnny Green,
charged with murder, black, left
arm off at wrist, heavy set, about
% years old; Chester Midham,
charged with stealing horse, black,
. feet 10 inches tall, about thirty
years old; Willie Branch, charged
with breaking in store at Beulah,
19 years old, dark brown, heavy
set, full face, about 5 feet 7 inches
tall; George Comfort, charged
with forgery, about .-26 years old,
about 5 feet IL inches tall, light
brown color, Of very nice appear
ance, slight of build; Jimmie Fitz-
hugh, held for grand larceny, boy
Of 14~or Is years of age, black,
dressed in blue serge knee pants,
white shoes and light cap.

You can make more money with
the Molinc-Univcrsal than any other
tractor because it can be kept at pro-
ductiye work more days year-no
matter how large or small your farm
or what crops you grow. This Is be-
cause the Moline-U Universal is built to
fit the farm and every operation on
the farm. It is not limited to a few
operations, nor to certain classes Of
work.
The Moline-U Universal will do any,
thing any other tractor will do and in
addition an infinite variety Of work
impossible for any other tractor. Y gu
can find work for it every day in the
wear. If for no other reason than
the fact that the Moline-Unlversa!
will do more and better work and
can be kept buster than any other
tractor, it is your best buy.
But the greatest advantage OF the
Moline-U Universal is that one man
controls both tractor and implement
in all operations. You sit on the seat
Of the implement, where you must sit
in order to do good work: and con-
troll the entire outfit. This means
that YOU can farm more land than
was ever before possible, with either
horses or tractor.
The wonderful versatility and one.

are due to its two-wheel construc-
ton. It attaches direct to the implc-
ment and forms one compact unit
with 1.-THE tractor the front wheels
and the implement the rear wheels.

which can be turned in l6-foot
circle, and backs as readily as It goes
forward. A boy or woman can hall-
die it as well as man.
Due to its two-wheel construction,
which makes" all its power available
for pulling and greater speed, the
Moline Universal Tractor will do as
much work in a day OF ten hours
with two 14-inch plow bottoms as the
average three pillow tractor.
The high clearance OF the Moline
Universal Tractor, as great as that of
the average cultivator, and its light
weight make it perfectly adapted for
cultiyating. With tworoW cultiva-
tor, it cultivates from IA to 20 acres

the farm that it cannot do. For odd
Jobs it Is converted into four-whcel
unit by means OF rear carrying

farm may be attached III the ordi-

From a mechanical standpoint, the
Moline Universal Tractor measures

neering knowledge. Perfected over

Another Guess at SUMS Ace.

A new calculation of the age Of the
sun was made recently by n. Peron-
net, who read a paper on the subject
before the French Academy Of Science.
Here is HI version in a nutshell: on
the principle that the mean tempera-
ture of star remains approximately
equal to the surface temperature
it had when first formed, and CIV
ing the sun an internal temperature
Of 12,C00 degrees Centigrade, or dOu-
BILE that of its surface, and calculating
its mass to be . by 1890 Kilograms,
the sun cannot have been formed more
than between 100000 and 6,000,0O0
Of years ago. A star with a surface
temperature of 100000 degrees Cent?
grade would have been formed from a
nebula in 300 days and one with g.
