What started out to be a nice,
friendly little baseball game de
veloped into something serious to
day when the Evening Herald and
the Medford Mail-Tribune teams be
came deadlocked on the matter of
an umpire. The Medford news
paper men wanted their foreman to
do the guissiug on balls and strikes
but the Herald team naturally ob
jected. This rift finally was elosed when
it was agreed that both teams
should have an umpire, and with
the strict understanding that Sher

Loucks would De on hand to curb

Melville Bay and expect to reach

today,
glad to do his bit to help the move
ment to give Klamath Falls its

Inasmuch as most of the uni

I'm for street signs first last and
all the time, so take this ten-spot
and add it to your fund." .
The admission price is just 25
cents, and every cent will be used
for the civic street sign fund. If
you think after listening to the
music, getting yourself in the mo

stunts that have been arranged that
you haven't got your money's
worth, you can get your 25 cents
back maybe. Or at least, you can

S ARE
FOILED IN MOVE
TO IKE ESCAPE
Bars in County Prison Are
Sawed Through Before
Work it Stopped
DEPUTIES WATCHING
Game of Wits Between She
riff Office and Des
perate Prisoners
A game of wits Is now la prv,
gress at the county Jail, a game
which Is liable to devefop into seri
ous consequences.
A group of prisoners who face
long terms In the penitentiary If
they are convicted are persistent In
their efforts to saw their 'way
through Iron bars of tho Jail to
freedom. They have tried time and
again, only to be foiled by tbn
sheriff's office, ever watchful.
Saws smuggled in
From some mysterious source,
hack saws are being continually 3
smuggled Into the Jail and last night
the prisoners, who are desperate In
their attempt to escape, sawed
through to iron clamps that held
i.conforcemoot Iron bars against
one of the windows.
The prisoners bad hoped that Jjbu
job would be overlooked and that
tonight they could complete the Job
and effect an escape early tomor
row morning via the court house
roof. They would have tied blank
ets together and slid down from tho
roof of the conrt 'house to freedom.
It has been done before many tlmee
and Is being tried again.
But this morning. Deputy Sheriff
Jim Hflton. In making his regular
' innp,'Hnn fleleclnd Ihe toh nf fh
hack saws. He immediately called
a blacksmith to repair the damage
and then proceeded to tell the pris
oners what would happen when
tibe identity of the Prisoners who
are trying to escape Is established.
The prisoners in a sullen group
listened while Hilton told them that
when the sheriff's office discovered
who the guilty parties were, that
they would send them to tAe city
jail where they would be locked in
solltai.-y confinement In one of tho
cells.
"I don't know where the hack
saws come from," Deputy Hilton
said. "But I do know that they
are there. We located a set of the
saws the other day, but ihave not
been able to find the Instruments
which were used in this Job last
ntght."
Sheriff Burt Hawkins has very de
cidod views on jail breaking. Ho
takes the position that the public
must be protected from the iravages
of criminals and of prisoners In
sist upon owing to get away, they
must risk ti'Je chance of getting shot.
It is presumed that friends of the
: prisoners are helping from the out
: side, and that whett they come to
i pay a visit slip hack saws to tho
I prisoners when nobdy is looking.
