Suspects at Large After Manhunt For Escaped Federal Inmates
Two men arrested on the Mississippi River levee south of Grand Tower identified themselves as Charles Lee Walmer and Daniel L. Poole, both charged with possession of a stolen vehicle and burglary linked to a Chester gun club break-in. Authorities initially pursued men matching Colomb and Welch, fugitives from a Chicago federal prison escape, but later ruled them not the same.

Supreme Court lets stand coal miners black lung benefits ruling
The Supreme Court without comment rejected an appeal by Saginaw Mining Co of St. Clairsville Ohio seeking to avoid black lung disability benefits for miner Lewis Gilas who quit in 1978 after a heart attack. The decision requires coal mining firms to pay benefits even when black lung was not the sole cause of retirement.

Carbondale Fire Destroys Dorm, Sparks Alarming Evacuation
Fire at the Clark Apartments on Wall Street forced about nine residents to flee and left nearly 20 international SIUC students without passports or belongings. Rescue teams evacuated occupants from second and third floors as flames spread from a kitchen grease fire. A Kenyan native resident, Ahmed Dino, survived the smoke, while Sherman Brown and others rushed to escape through windows and to nearby police and fire stations. Firefighters faced delayed reporting and door-blocked exits, but only minor injuries were reported among the evacuees.

Carbondale High faces funds strain with building closures eyed
A Finance Study Committee issued an interim report on Carbondale Community High School finances after an eight day teachers strike. It warns of possible closure of a building and suggests alternative salary negotiations. The panel cites a looming deficit, with the education fund balance near 600 000 in 1984 and a projected next year of 4.2 million expenditures against 3.8 million revenues. It also discusses a 600 000 working cash fund and explains its limited use as a one time reserve subject to public intervention if enough voters object.
