1t Is said that George NJ. Cohan and

Two months later, the corporation notl-

himself. He Immediately filed suit
against his erstwhile employers. and

TWO PRISONERS ATTEMPT
TO BREAK JAIL

Clintwood, Va, Jan. 70. -
Last night two prisoners, Clyde
Axiom and Charlie Hicks, made
an unsuccessful attempt to
break out of Jail. Hicks is in for
robbing school house and Ak
on is confessed accomplice in
the Fremont Store robbery OF a
few weeks past.
When Axon was first brou-
ght to Jail he made a confession
that involved two other suspec-
is, Earl Phillips and Clayton
Hicks, who were at that time
and are yet in jail awaiting trial
Chief of Police Fleming, of St.
Paul asked the jailer not to put
Axiom in the cell with Phillips
and Hicks for fear of row
when they found out that he
had "squealed' on them, so Sher
-iff Kiser gave him an adjoin-
ing room and the smaller Hicks
boy for company. Last night
Mr.. Kiser was awakened by an
unusual noise upstairs, the "Jail
bird Choir" was singing "God
be with you till we meet again,
with a guitar accompaniment.
But between measures in that
beautiful hymn could be
heard a sound not unlike plaster
sand bricks falling ON a concrete
floor. Becoming suspicious Mr..
Kiser crept upstairs and caught
the. boys redhanded, so God did
MT have to be with him long
"till they met again. They were
put into the cage" and here's
hope that they will find plenty
of excuses for staying. from
now on.

TWO TRAPPED and BURN

Haysi, Va, Jan. 90 The

dren of Mr.. and Mrs. Earl Gro
SIS, and leaving one child, youn-
ger.
MIR. and Mrs. Gross lived in
the mining camp here which is
located just across the river
from the rail road station, and
built ON the river bluff, or very
steep rough land. The house in
this camp are built upon high
wooden pallars or legs to save
the expence of grading.
One of the houses in the up
per row was the first to give
way before the wind, it rolled
down the hill and struck the
Gross home, thereby turning it
over. The house which was first
blown over was vacant.
A fire in the stove ignited the
overturned buildings and aided
by the strong wind, the flames
spread rapidly. Mr.. and Mrs.
Gross managed to escape with
their four months old infant,
but the other two children, sleep
ling in an adj dining room, were
burned stosaIeath. Neither of the
parents have any recollection of
how they escaped from the burn
ing hniding.
The arsms and legs of the chill
-dren were completely burned
mp, and the bodies were all that
was found. The remains was
laid to rest in the Elam ceme-
terry here.
Mr.. Gross was not q native of
this county and has only lived
here about five months.
