VANDERBACK STILL
AMONG THE MISSING
Prisoners Decision to Escape
Believed Result of Sudden
Impulse.

Paul vanderback. who escaped from
one OF the workhouse farms on Mon
day afternoon, is still missing and
Warden Piummcr stated this morning
that not the slightest clue has been
secured as to his whereabouts. In fact
the workhouse authorities and the po-
lice are just getting their circulars
spread broadcast. but they believe
these viii be very effective in helping
round up the fugitive.
Warden plummer said he believes
Nanderback's decision to run away
was the result of a sudden impulse
and was not premeditated or planned.
Usually when prisoner intends to
try 10 escape he destroys all his be-
longings, such as letters and the like,
hut Eanderback left all such things
intact in his cell. He had been work
ing outside for two weeks and had
ample opportunity TO get away before
had he desired to take advantage of il.
His escape, the warden explained
VIII IN no wise affect the standing of
the other prisoners or the liberties
they have been enjoying under the
honor system. They are as Indignant
as anyone over the prisoners running
away and are willing to do almost
anything TO see that he is brought
back. yanderback is not thought I.
be in Wilmington. but it is not known
how he left the city if he really die.
depart for other sections.
The automobile, owned by Elmer
Leach. which Yanderhack is alleged
TO have stolen. was found near the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad in the
western section of the city and this
leads to the belief that he boarded /,
train. but it is the only clue to this
belief. Warden Plumner does not be-
iieve Vanderback had any outside help
in making his escape.
Vanderback evidently was no
aware of the consequences of his i'll
advised action when he decided to
make the bolt for liberty. Should he
be recaptured, and it is believed to &c
only question of time until he is re-
turned, ne will face a long term in

BIG AIRsHIP.

Unusual interest attached itself to
the plans of the War Department to
send the big dirigible Roma across
the Appalachians into Ohip ON a
closs-country test flight about the
middle OF December.
Tie Roma was built by the Italian
government in Rome Italy and pur-
chased by the United States govern
ment after the armistice. IL is the
largest flying ship in America.
1t has length ever all OF AIS feet
and carries 100000 cubic feet OF
hydrogen gas. 1t is about the size
of the Zeppelins that Germany used
in the London raids but not quite
so large as the R-34 which crossed
the Atlantic.
The Roma, after flying in Italy,
was dismantled and sent to this
country and assembled at Langley
Field, Virginia.
There are only five hangers III the
United States at the present time
large enough to accommodate the
ship. One of these is at Wingfoot
Lake Air Station, Akron. Wingfoot
Lake hangar is 400 feet long SO tina!
the nose Of the ship will project oit
of the door a little ways.
The Roma carries $500 gallons Of
gasoline and can make about 20 tC
as miles an hour. II is.at present
equipped with six $50 horse power
motors of Italian make but it is
planned to replace these with Liber
ty motors which will give it a great
er cruising radius. With the Liher
! ty motors the ship is able to fly 3,00t
miles without landing.

fully worth $500 when il was butt
a few months old. Consequently
there was no question as to its
worth.
A sharp wire hook, such as is
used in tieing up mill feed bags,
killed the bull. The animal, In some
manner, swallowed the hook while
chewing ON bag that had contain
ed feed. The cause of its death was
shrouded in mystery until an autop-
sy was performed by local vcteri-
marian. Then it was found that the
bulls stomach had been horribly
lacerated by the sharp hook.
A settlement with the railroad for
the loss of the blooded prize-winning
heifers of Mr.. Austin that were
burned at Rockingham while in
transit from the state fair to Marsh
willie is still pending. These animals
met horrible death. The car in
which they were being transported
was set on fire while it was on a sid
ing by sparks from passing freight
train falling in the hay in their feed
box. In a few minutes, before help
arrived on the scene, the car was a
mass of flames and all of the heifers
! except three persisted on the spot.
The condition of the three heifers
! that were extricatcd from the burn
ing car is pitiful. They were blinded
by smoke, their eye-lashes and ears
were burned off, and their bodies SC
badly burned that skin is hanging
from their sides like blankets. Mi
Austin of course refused to accept
the injured cows but he pleaded
with the railroad officials at Rock
ingham to put them out of misery
with a rifle or with well-directeo
blows from an axe This the officials
had refused to do. Mr.. Austin says
up to Last week when he last heart
from Rockingham.
The destruction Of his heifers a
! Rockingham was the third loss sus
tanned by Mr.. Austin in recen
months. First, his fine bull died
and then his automobile, while be
ing driven from Oakboro by hi
daughter, caught fire and was de
stroyed. This happened but shor
while before the Rockingham fire.

might happen to any cow, and as t
