MORKLIA. Mexico. Aug. 1
Moat of the 71 pnaonera battling
police In maaa Jail break sur
rendered early today after en all
night aiega.
At least two persona were killed.
The bodiee of a prtaon guard and e
prisoner a ere recovered. Earlier re
ports mat six pnaonera were killed
could not be verified.
The escaped prisoners, armed
with rifles, aldearma and other
weapons from the Jail, were sur
rounded on a small hill outside the
city. Police dug in around the hill
for an all-night battle.
The pnaonera broke out of Jail
shortly before nightfall. They made
concerted rush on guards and
overwhelmed Uirm.
They ransacked the Jail for
weapona before fleeing, and are be
lieved lo have at least eight rifles
and quantities of ammunition. BIX
of tha prisoners are listed aa
"dangerous eonvlcla."
Police, reinforced by troops from
the local garrison, overtook the
band of Jail breakers at the city's

SPT County
To Replace
Texum Bridge
Publle Utlllllra Commissioner
Oeorge M. Plage today In Salem
ordered the Southern Pacific rail
road and Klamath county to re
place lie Texum overhead cross
ing which the railroad tore down
two years ago.
The order waa a victory for
Klamath county which had de
manded that the railroad replace
the crossing, but an expensive one
because the county waa ordered to
share the coat of the new structure
aa well as take over all mainten
ance. The old crossing, a frame bridge
over the tracks on an old county
road near the Oreat Northern
roundhouse, actually Tved very
few residents of the area. The re.
placement probably will have to be
of concrete or at least have con
crete abutments.
were of high school and college age.
However, In contrast with the past
two months, the rise of unemploy
ment between June and July cannot
be attributed to the entry of young
persons Into the labor force. Adult
workers accounted for most of the
Increase In July."
Unemployment In non-agricultural
Industries, which have been
hit hardest by worker layoffs since
the buslnesa slowdown began last
fall, took an upturn In July, It rose
to 1W.073.0OO, from 49.034,000 In June.
Thla yrar'a total, however, waa far
short of the S3.9i2.000 figure posted
for July last year.
Farm employment sllpied to
(47,000 In July from 9.6H6.0OO In
June. But thla was well above the
0.1M.0O0 total In July, 1941.
The censua bureau's flgurea were
nation-wide estimates only. They
shed no light on the spot-unemployment
which the administration
seeks to remedy by concentrating
federal spending In the troubled
arraa.

E. C. Sammons, stte advisory

achievement "little short of re

Collier, county savings bond chair
man.
They pointed out that E bond
aales In this county were up $50,000
over similar sales In the seme
period a year ago. In view of the
severe winter and other conditions,
this record wss outstsndlng, they
pointed out.

Purely by accident. Southwell
said, he spied a bright flash of

and near Uie shore.

be Btllwell's shirt. Southwell pulled
hi eon-ln-law from the water, after
removing a log that had fallen
arms Btllwell s head.
He placed 8tilwrll on the bank
and resuscitation efforts, taking an
hour-and-a-half, revived Stilwell
enough to move him to McOuat 'a
cabin on the shore of Uie lake. He
was moved to his home here later
In the day.
Southwell said Uiat Stilwell had
probably been wedged under the
log for five or al minute.
He hd apparently Uipped over A
two-by-four that waa nailed from
th dike to a log protruding from
th water.
