COUNTY JAIL
IS EMPT|ED
A. NJ. Bigerstaff and Negro Saw
Themselves To Liberty Tuesday
Night.

A. M. Biggerstaff, a white man
confined to the county Jail for making
whiskey, and negro named Mulin
Johnson, who had been in jail several
months charged with robbing a mail
car, broke Jail Tuesday night some
time between midnight and day, by
saving a lock to the cell leading to
the room in which fire burned away
the ceiling under a window to the
brick wall last Sunday week. After
they had gained entrance to the dam
aged cell, which had been locked
against the use of prisoners, they had
easy sailing in making their escape.
Brick had been removed to give the
body room to pass through the wall.
Blankets had been tied together to let
the prisoners down from the second
story to the ground.
The delivery was not discovered
until Wednesday morning, and Jailer
Ike Patterson, found that his hotel
had been deserted and that he did not
have a single guest for breakfast.
The county Jail is now empty and
the jailer will psobably have time to
get his garden in good shape, if the
rain will just let up for awhile.
Both the escapes were Federal
prisoners, awaiting trial in the Fede-
raj court. 1t is said that Biggerstaff
had half of his bond made the day
before he escaped, and that he was
to have been released on Wednesday
when another bondsman had signed
his bond.
A letter was found which was sign
ed by "a. M. Biggerstaff" addressed
to his wife. He told her in the let
ter that she would probably never
hear from him again.

BLIZZARD GRIPS N0RTH[yJ1
STATES; MUCH DAMAGE DONE
Storms and Gales Sweep Country From The Rocky
Mountains to Atlantic COast-SnOw, Sleet and Heavy
Rains Obstruct Traffic And Level Wires.

Chicago, April 16.-Snow storms
and gales that in many places were
reported to be the worst in the his
tory of the local weather bureaus,
swept the area from the Rocky Noun
tains to Atlantic States today. Rail
road and wire traffic was interrupt
ell in many places and thousands of
dollars damage was done to property
and crops.
The worst spring storm in the
history of Chicago swept the city,
causing injuries to scores of persons
and considerable property damage.
A fifty mile gale, snow, sleet and
rain combined to obstruct traffic
and, in some places, to level commu-
nication wires.
Temperatures below freezing were
forecast tonight for northern Illi-
nois and the adjacent states. The
storm is expected to diminish in vio-
lence late tomorrow morning.
The worst blizzard of the year was
reported from Wisconsin, where a
foot of snow fell in Milwaukee and
nearby communities. Traffic of all
kinds was delayed, the traction COM
pany at Milwaukee being forced to
use snow plows for the first time
this winter.
From Nebraska came reports of
snow and generally cold weather
in most of the state. Railroad and
wire traffic was said to be partial
ly disrupted. Ten to ID inches of
snow fell in the western portion of
the state. Temperatures were as
low as 20 degrees above zero.
All April records were broken in
Iowa by the snow storm that began
last night and swept the entire
state today. Des Moines reported
five to six inches of snow in most
sections of the state.
Northwest Missouri and northeast
Kansas sent word of the worst snow
storm on record this late in the sea-
son. Many wires were blown down
and the damage to fruit trees and
gardens is great.
The storm swept eastward through
Michigan carrying with it a great
hail storm which was most severe
near Detroit.
Railroad traffic was reported
blocked in the Rocky Mountain re-
gion which was digging itself from
II to ID inches of snow that fell
last night.
A statement from the local wea-
ther bureau tonight said that in
dications were that the fruit crop
of the west had been destroyed
wherever it was in the path of the
storm.
In Michigan, fruit growers, the
statement said, had chance of saw
ing a prt of their crop, but little
hope was held out for adjacent states.

The storm, which crossed the line
from Texas late yesterday, demol-

wiped out entirely, several members
of others were killed and many
