Tug of war after escape capture in West Frankfort
Police capture 90-year-old Gerald W. Gardner after a Friday escape from Williamson County Jail sparked a large West Frankfort manhunt. About 30 area officers, led by West Frankfort Assistant Police Chief John Waley, searched an apartment building where Gardner was taken into custody. Waley found 101 in coins on Gardner, which mayor Mike McClatchey said might be missing city hall funds. City Hall later received the coins for safekeeping. Franklin County Sheriff Robert Ice attempted to obtain the funds for evidence but was rebuffed.

Freeway plans under study new Kinkaid ACP for 1970
Jackson County may gain another Special Agricultural Conservation Program for land in the Kinkaid Lake watershed in 1970. A report to the Kinkaid Lake and Reed's Creek Conservancy District board said the county used about $75,000 of a $100,000 1969 ACP grant, with many planned projects delayed by bad weather. The district board approved a letter supporting another program, while also naming a committee to review freeway corridor options between Carbondale and East St Louis and considering bids for land management and fuel storage facilities.
