~~ ——— liquor, sawed his way through the bars at the county jail to freedom. His escape was made sometime Wednesday night but wmh not discovered until Thursday morning. • He always was a lucky guy when It conies to dealing with the law,” is the chief comment passed on his escape by the citlsenry. Thorp has been in court many times on various charges and has always succeeded in either getting free or getting off with only a light fine or sentence. His ratest escapade ended with his receiv- | ing a fine of >IOO and a tjO-day sentence and following this verdict, people began to think that lady luck had at last deserted him. His escape proved otherwise, however. in making his escape, Thorp used a new back saw blade, which he either had secreted on his person or had smuggled to him by a confederate. The window in the southwest corner of the jail, through which other convicted men have escaped, was thc one through which Thorp made his escape. Two bars were filed off. On thc inside ot tbe window, thc bars run horizontally and on the outside they are vertical. The glass window was lifted out and was found Wednesday morning leaning against the wall of the cell. The bars are about 10 inches apart and even after one bar was removed from both sides of the window, a man, even a little bit larger than Thorp, would have had a hard time getting through. Thorp's size helped him greatly in carrying out his plans. The saw blade used was a new one and Thorp used it by tying a cloth around both cuds tor handles.

Easy Way to Break Severest Cough No matter how long you have had a persistent, weakening cough—no matter how many remedies you have tried without success*—you can usually get relief instantly, and often relieve the entire cough condition in 24 hours, by a very simple method. The method is based on awemarkable prescription known as Dr. King's New Discovery for Coughs. You simply take one teaspoonfu! and hold it tn your throat for 15 or 20 seconds before swallowing it, without following with water. The prescription has a double action. It not only soothes and heals soreness and irritation, but it quickly loosens and removes the phlegm and congestion which are the direct cause of the coughing. The prompt rebel seems almost magical, and the quickness with which the whole cough cord tion disappears is ouen simply amazing. There is nothing better for couglis, chest colds, bronchitis, bronchia!asthma,hoarseoess.andaimostevery throat irritation. Economics, too, as the dose is only one teaspoonful.
