Occurs During Progress Of
Heavy Storm
The long heralded and much de
sired rain came late Friday afternoon,
kept on coming and was still coming
Saturday. The severest parts of the
storm occurred at 8 o'clock FridiCy
evening and 4 o'clock Saturday morn
ing. Lightning, thunder and wind ac
companied the furious downpour.
The wind caused a fire in tho flat
occupied by John Harrison, corner
Main and Front streets, above
Charlie Hop's laundry. A lace curtain
was carried back into tho room and
twisted around a burning gas Jet.
From the outside, it appeared as if
tho whole room were ablaze. Harrison
being absent, tho door was broken
down and the flames extinguished
shortly before the fire department ar
rived. A largo part of the wall paper
was burned.

William Vanatta Ranted In
Orrville For Burglary
Makes A Clean Get-Away
From City Prison
Officers Unable To Get Any
Trace Of The :Man
William Vanatta, who was arrested
iu tho Pennsylvania railroad yards
Friday morning on a charge ot bur
glary and larceny, alleged to have
been committed in Orrville, Ohio, and
put in tho city lock-up, remained thero
but six hours. He was not given his
freedom. He took the law into his
own hands and in broad daylight,
about 4 o'clock Friday afternoon, took
his farewell of the lock-up and the
officers who had placed him there, a
stove door being the means ot his
escape.
When the Pennsylvania south bound
train No. 528, rolled into the city at 5
o'clock Friday afternoon, off stepped
Constable Huntsberger who keeps an
eagle eye on all malefactors of Orrville
and Wayne county, armed with a war
rant for the arrest ot a particularly
annoying desperado, one Vanatta by
namo.vWho had eluded hisclutches, but
who had been located in Mt. Vernon.
Jubilant, he accompanied the local
officials to the city lock-up. Soon tho
proy would be his. Alas and alack!
The door was opened and the bird
had flown! Disappointment reigned
supreme and Constable Huntsberger
took the next train back, a very dis
heartened man.
It must be said that Vanatta made
his escape iu a very smooth fashion.
The only Implement In the room which
could possibly be of use was the door
of the stove. This, he unhooked.
Then he stepped to tho east window
and gradually pride off the brace
which held the bars in tho window.
Then, by what must havo been a
prodigious effort, he bent tho bars at
the bottom until a space largo enough
for his body to pass through was
made. Climbing out on the back roof,
he leaped to tho ground and walked
awuy a free man. And all this in
broad daylight, with four firemen sit
ting In the engine room below! These
latter stated that they heard the stove
door drop on tho floor above and tho
horses wero frightened thereby. How-,
ever, they thought that nothing was
atnlss and were not even alarmed to
the extent of making an investigation.
Local officers of the law made a
thorough search of the railroad yards
Friday evening in tho hopes that
Vanatta might havo taken that means
to make good his escape. No traco or
clew was found.
The bars that Vanatta bent were re
inforced Saturday morning. Chief ot
Police Parker stated that it had been
his opinion all along that a mere braco
was too little a precaution against
a prisoner's escaping. Bolts in the
corners of the windows will probably
bo put in shortly.
The local officers will leave no stone
unturned to discoyor the whereabouts
of Vanatta, though the matter, at pres
ent, presents a rather hopeless aspect.
STRUCK BY LIGHTNING
Lightning struck the northeast end
of tho Jones building on tho public
square at tho hour of 4 o'clock Satur
day morning. Tho attraction was
strango as thero were no wires near
by. Little damage was dono, somo
half dozen bricks being dislodged and
knocked down to the pavement below.

Ratto and His "Company of Eminent Artists''
SKSKC
JOiQI 11. KATTO.
T is impossible to say too much in fuvor of John B. Ratto, who not man7
years ago was selling papers on Chicago streets. Today he stands aa
one of the world's greatest impersonators. He brings to the opening day
of Chautauqua week his "Company of Eminent Artists," meaning
himself.
While most of Ratto's program Is humorous, here and there he slips in a
touch of the darker side of life that never falls to score heavily. He "makes
up" before his audience and tells appropriate stories while he does so.
From a Pennsylvania city where Rntto appeared recently came the report
that he gave "the cleanest and most masterful series of character sketches
ever presented here." The South Bend (Ind.) Tribune says, "His appearance
here was a real event and an occasion long to be remembered." The Sioux
Falls Argus Leader says, "Truly wonderful made good at once without a
peer."
