Attempted Jail Break
George Carter, who is held
in jail here as a slacker, got into
the limelight this week by pull
ing off a near successful iail
break in tne early hours of Mon
day. George was billed for a
trip to Portland Sunday with
Walter Matteson and Fred Grif
fiths as chaperoues, but forgot
to set his clock ahead and failed
to connect at train time. The
alarm on the jail clock must have
worked Sunday night, however,
for George, who was perhaps
somewhat peeved at loosing his
trip in the morning, must have
crawled from the hay pretty
early, if we are to judge from
the things he accomplished by
1:30 am.
Bill Ayers," who is custodian
of county property and officials
at the court house, lives about a
block due east from the bastile
and at the unholy hour of 1:30 he
had a bad dream and suddenly
awoke. He heard peculiar sounds
coming from the jail. As he list,
ened he heard a dull, sickening
thud which he knew in a minute
was a block of our famous Mor
row county stone tumbling from
its place in the jail wall. Bill is
proud of that jail and it always
peeves him rwhen""'a"prisoner

how often you can hit him before

started for the sheriff and Mrs
Ayers stood guard. She didn't
have any call for target practice,
however, for Mr. George Carter,
not hem informed as to how
straight the lady could shoot nor
even the calibre of the keys she
carried, concluded that tins inside
of the Morrow county jail was h

While the English were preparing
for a move Hsiiinst the Germans in
which they proposed to use the tank
the general of the tank brigade found
himself short of engineers who were
competent to run die big caterpillars.
ne caned on the commander of the
United States troops for n detail of
American soldiers who were skilled
engineers, as well as brave, to put such
tanks as were deficient In men to run
them. Ike Rogers was one of the
Americans who were selected to con
duct a tank in the attack that was to
he made on the enemy.
Ike's tank was some distance be
hind the others, and he was instructed
to move it forward, generally in the
night ; but Ike in order to catch up and
being on the edge of a wood, drove it
on in the day time.

was very pretty. Ike fell in love with
her at first sight. He asked her for a
drink of water. The French people
drink wine in place of water, so Cloch
ette gave him a glass of wine. She
spoke a few words of English and Ike
while In a training camp before go
ing over (be big pond had studied
French, so they managed to understand
each other after a fashion. Something
In the tank needed fixing and Ike was
detained where he had stopped a long
time. When be was about to move
on lie said to Clochette half in French,
the other lmlf In English, "1 love you,"
and Clochette almost swooned with joy
to be told that she was loved by the
guiding spirit of the big war monster.
Clochette having been caught
by the power of the tank rather than
anything attractive about Ike's person
ality, soon after his departure was
caught in a different way. A cavalry
man rode by who carried a flag, Its
staff resting on the toe of his boot.
His steed danced and curvetted so
beautifully that Clochette was much
moved, and since the rider wns a hand
some young fellow slip transferred her
heart to this man who, compared with
the greasy tank runner, wns a marvel
of beauty.
The cavalryman spoke French flu
ently and not having seen a pretty
girl since he left England, there was
another case of love at first sight
Clochette responded favorably.
Well, the fight came on, the tank?
made n big hit, and Ike's tank went
walloping over the Held like an ele
