OVERCOAT BLOCKED ESCAPE
Archie Shaw, Alleged Insane Barber,
Caught in Flight

A heavy overcoat stood between
Archie Shaw, an alleged insane barber.
and liberty this afternoon. Shaw broke
away from Robert Miller, deputy sher-
iff. while he was being taken from
the county jail to the court house for
an insa nifty hearing. He was caught
by DR.. H. L. Clark, a commissioner in
the insanity case.
Doctor Clark accompanied Miller to
the Jail to get Shaw. The prisoner
wore a heavy coat, but broke away
from the officer and started to run.
He might have escaped had it not
been for the heavy overcoat which he
was wearing. Doctor Clark caught
Shaw and held him. The prisoner was
then taken to the probate court.

As Chicken Expert
Gayety Fun-Maker

for Frank Finney's Judgment as a

excused.
Last summer. when Finney re-

look after his chicken farm. The
comedian was delighted with the
opportunity, for at last the chance
seemed to have come for him to
put into operation his theories re-

the barnyard variety.
Waldron entrusted Finney with
the management of his poultry
farm and hiked back to New York
confident in the belief that affairs
would progress smoothly in his alb
sence. However, for the sake of
precaution, he asked Phil OFT, who
lives in Seattle, to drop out every
week and see how Finney managed
with the farm.
There was a big demand for eggs
last summer and waldron, in New
York. was swelling over with satis-
faction, at the thought Of liberal
receipts that must pour in when the
laying season got well under way.
But the business statements that
Finney sent In weekly began to
