Thirteen notorious criminals escaped irom Fol-som 'prlsofl by iishlg the overpowered head officers of the prison as shields to protect them bullets until they had fled into the mountains. During the struggle in the prison L. Cotter, a guard, was stabbed to death by the convicts, J.

was probably fatally stabbed the back and Wi C. Palmers was hacked about the head. When the escaped werea welk away from the prison they released Warden Wilkinson, Captain Murphy and one or two other men who been used as shields. General Overseer McDon-ough and five or six guards are still Jn the hands of the fugitives, who- say they will kill the prison officers if the militia attempts to retake the convicts. 1 It Is believed the convicts and their captives are making for the, Bald mountains.

Governor. Pardee has ordered out several companies of militia and soldiers are on the trail of the fugitives. All the escaped men are desperate characters and blood is likely to flow before they are retaken. The thirteen convicts had been acting strangely of late and when they were seen talking among themselves Gap-tain Murphy called Warden Wilkinson and four guards into his office to consider what was best to do with the men. The prisoners, seized this moment for escape.

They made straight for the captain's office and rushed In on the very men whom prisoners wish-Ing'to escape, usually elude. A desperate fight followed. The officers were outnumbered and soon had been relieved of their arms." Then using the officers as a shield the convicts started fori the armory post on the outskirts of the penitentiary, They passed a Gatling gun on one of the walls, but the guards were afraid to turn it on the convicts. When the arjnorjrpost was reached officers there attempted to Interfere, but were quickly overpowered. Then after further arming themselves with rifles, knives, pistols and ammunition, they made a dash for the country with several guards, the warden and captain In tow.

The convicts went to- a fanner's house, seized his four-horse team and wagon, robbed the house of everything of value, took the farmer with as a driver and headed for Bald mountain. Evidently it la their intention to reach Alabaster cave. j. The several hundred remaining prisoners made no attempt to get away and' were quietly returned to their cells and locked up. As soon as Governor Pardee heard of the delivery ht ordered out the militia, HOLDING ITS OWN.
