The local police and (lie sher

coming by (he garage, noticed that
lour roughly dressed men Hcemed
to be in a greiit hurry (o get out

According to witnesses, one man
had a bandage on his urm and oth

Mons of l lit hunted men. They
were driving In i Kord touring
cur which looked like it had tra
velled a long way over u dusty
hlThway.
l'red Cross, night men at the
Perkins (;uaire could not be rea
ched today co the report was un
verified from that souice.
The malter was not reported to
the authorities until this morning
thus giving Ihe men. If It wan
them, u clnince to get many miles
away heiore investigation was
b UiHed by the police.
However the uuthoril h'B are of
the opinion that the men might
have passed through here. They
were seen in Portland night . bo
fore last and by last driving
could have arrived here at the
time they Here seert the next Mioru

the police w oilld think they were
hiding in Portland and In the
meantime the conviets might huve
out wit led t in- aut horitii-s by leav
ing Ihe city almost immediately
ult'-r I heir arrival there.
Yesterday a report was plueed
with the sheriff thai the men had
teen seen Koing toward Ailcei.
Tins clue was run down like the
otlu is nol productive of anything
oi value.
A worker at one of tlm local
filling stations reports lo the pol
ice tint he had h-tii I lie men this
morning--or at least three rough
ly !jes.d iimloi-ists answering the
description of the escaped convict.-..
The police und Ihe sheriff's for
