AIRPLANE BELIEVED
TO H A VE CRASHED
NEAR CANEY FORK
Residents in the central part
of Jackson county believe that
an airplane crashed in the Balsam
mountains near the head
of Caney Fork Creek, Sunday
afternoon, and it is understood
that a search has been organized
to gb to the remote and
rugged ^mountain region between
Jackson and Haywoo^
counties to make an investigation.
i People observed that a plane,
seemingly afire, was headed to
ward the mountains, with motors
limping, and since no report
has been received of a
plane in trouble further east,
it is presumed that there was a
crash way back in the Balsams.
Those who saw the plane were
unable to detect what kind of an
aircraft it was.

James Tilgham and Mealvin
Potter, two long term convicts .
escaped on Sunday from the
prison camp at Whittier, and
were picked up on Mill Street
in Sylva, Monday night by Patrolman
John CKelly and Deputy
Sheriff Dock Wood.
The two escapees were walking
east along the street when
the officers apprehended them
j and took them into custody*
Both men were unarmed and
they offered no resistance.
They stated that they had
not eaten since Sunday noon,
and the officers took them to
a cafe and bought them a supper
before returning them to
the prison camp.
