CHAPMAN'S DRUGS 103 North Jackson Street We prayed and we tried to get ready to die. But these men were different from the others; they knew exact ly what they were doing. Appar ently they were a raiding crew sent out to gether guards for hos tages because they herded us in with others they already had. Then they marched us on through that cellblock, through block 3. and through a couple of other blocks, al ways looking for more guards. Finally they met another crew and we (the guards) were assem bled together and driven on to 15 block . . . and worked us inside. Pire And Shooting Outside we could hear the cries of the mob. Someone said the laundry was burning, and the gym, and I don't know what else. The screams and sirens of fire trucks suddenly wailed over the noise in the yard. You could see the inmates who were holding us tighten up. They stood tense and forward, peering out the window, and in a short time came the sound of shots. Then the yard seemed to break up in a mad frenzy all around us. It seemed that one of the con victs had been shot by state police and the mob moved down on 15 block. "Give us a guard." (hey screamed. "One of our boys has been shot. Kill a guard." The convirts with us argued but the mob only shouted the louder and finally someone shrugeed and said, "what else can we do?" They caniht hold of '(- iry Cur ry, ooened the door and threw him out. We couldn't bear to look, yet we couldn't tear our eves away. And can I say right now, thank God for our state police. Their squads were onerating in he yards by now and there never was a more alert group of men. They must have been on the watch for something just like what happened, for the minute they saw Curry pushed outside they made a drive outside 15 blork. And that was all took. The mob bmke and ran and Henry got away safely. Treated Nicely I can't tell you much of what haooened in the yards after that. Th"y herded us right on un to the fourth tier. Thev put each of us in a separate cell. Jack Hyatt wm in charie of our floor. They call him "Crazy Jack." But you'll never get me to believe he's crazv. He treated us fine, and he handled those other guys with him like someone who had commanded men all his life. Through all the time we were therp. every so often he'd have to go out and stop a fight or put down some minor disturbance among his followers. The last night they came around and took Jim Akins' and John DRAIN REJECTS BONDS A $120,000 bond issue for improve ment of the Drain city water sys tem was rejected recently by a margin of seven votes. Mrs. Anita Ford Posses Suddenly In California Word has been received by Hen ry D. Ford, operator of Ford's north of Canyonville, of the death of his mother, Mrs, John (Anita) Ford, at Santa Monica, Calif. Hen ry Ford left for California after re ceiving word of the death, Mrs. Ford passed away sudden ly Thursday of a heart attack, the information stated. The Fords came to Canyonville in 1928 and opened fne business, which has become well known as an eating place. Two years ago they turned the business over to their son, and left for California. Mrs. Ford was born hi Los An geles in 1894. Her husband, John II., son Henry D., and two grand children survive. Holmes' billfolds, watches and keys. Hyatt told us: "If you've got any last letters to write, you'd bet ter do it now because you won't get another chance." Hyatt was perfectly calm as he spoke. After he left I started pray ing again. It was only a couple of hours later that the agreement was reached between the prison ad ministration and the inmates. We were let out of the cells finally and taken downstairs to the office. Steak Dinner Served Ward (Earl Ward, a mutiny leaden had us all sit down and very formally he told us of the arrangements that had been nade for the surrender. When he finished, he invited all of us guards to join him and the prisoners in their steak dinner. We, of course, accepted immed iately. But when they marched us out, as soon as we were all clear of 15 block, we stepped out of the line and let them go on to the dining room alone. I don't think I could have drunk a cup of coffee then, let alone eat a piece of steak. I lost 20 pounds in those four days I was locked in 15 block and I didn't have my clothes off in all that time. I can only say, thank God I'm alive. Referendum Sought On New Truck Rule (Continued from Page One) enactment. The bill set up truck length and weight limits and gave 1 counties ttie right to issue permits to trucks exceeding the specifica-; lions, Davis said. Before the new county truck reg ulations were adopted, however, two suits had been filed in Circuit Court attacking the old regulations as "discriminatory" and "unlaw ful." One of the suits had Deen filed by Laney, a member of the newly formed referendum committee. In it he sought to enjoin the county from enforcing the old regulations. A. L. Paulson, Idleyld Route, a log truck operator, is plaintiff in the other suit an action for recov ery of the five dollars he paid for : his log hauling permit. The coun ty's new regulations continue the five-dollar fee as an "administra tive and enforcement" charge. Should the required number ef signatures for the initiative peti tions be filed the new regulations would not be effective unless ap- j proved at the polls in November. Meanwhile the county would re vert to the old regulations and ac tion could continue on the two suits against the regulations.
