HAVE WILD FIGHT REVOLT COMES AT LAST DRILL THROUGH THE WALL LASHED TO A FURY 1 NEBRASKA NOTES HUKDKIIOUS MUTINY AT T11H MIS SOUJU I'KNITKNTIAKY FOUR CONVICTS IN RUSH Mutineer! Surrrnilor After Two Arm Ilatlly TVoumlrd Kusb for Liberty Seemingly A'lnmied And DIu Ariueil ft JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. A despcr- nto attempt to escape from the state penitentiary was made by four convicts, resulting in a terrific battle with weapons and nitro-glycerine at the prison gate, a running light through the streets of Jefferson City and the final capture of the four convicts, two of whom were shot and wounded. Two prison ollicers were shot and a third was severely wounded. The dead JOHN CLAY, gatekeeper. E.

ALLISON, ollieer of the commissary department. The wounded Harry Bauglin, convict, St. Louis, Ehot in arm. Hiram Blake, convict from Grundy county, shot and probably fatally hurt. George Ryan, from St.

Loius. Charles-Raymond. Warden Mat Hall, Yardmaster Porter Gilvin and live prison guards departed for Fort Leavenworth, on a special train, conveying seventy-one federal prisoners, who are being transferred from the Missouri Btate penitentiary to the government prison at Fort Leavenworth. It is believed that this fact had much to do with tiie outbreak, as it is surmised the convicts had counted largely upon Warden Hall's absence in their premeditated desperate attempt 'to escape. There was not the slightest promotion of any trouble within the jirison walls.

Suddenly Convicts Harry Vaughn, Charles Hiram Blake, George Ryan and Ed Zoigler, who were working in close proximity to the prison gate, inside the inclosure, as if by a given signal, made a rush for the gate. From their pockets they drew pistols and is presumed that at least one of jthem carried bottle pf nitro-glycer-jine. Whore these weapons and the xpjosive were obtained has not yet Wen discovered. Rushing past he gate they entered Deputy Warden See's ollice and shot hitn'as he sat in his chair, lie sank back and was unable to resist them, instantly they returned to the gate and met Gateman John Clay, who had beeh alarmed by the shotj. Before he could raise his weapon he was shot dead.

Then, as if to signal the conVicts generally that the attempt to escape had been started, ii i i me convicts seized tno new rope hanging by the gate and momentarily rang the bell. Gateman Clay had left the wagon gate ajar wnen no appeared and was shot dead. The convicts rushed through dragging his body with them, slammed the- gate shut and fastened it on the inside. They were then in the wagon entrance to the peniten tiary, this entrance being about forty feet long by fifteen feet wide, and leading to the public street through another double gate of steel. Thi outside gate was locked, but the desperate convicts were deterred but for a moment.

Placing their nitrogylcerine under the outside gate, they blew an open mg through the massive steel doors and before the smoke had clearoi the opening they had dashed througl and past a number of trusty" con vicis wonting in uie street and ran madly for twelve blocks Zcigler, ib was found had failed to Jeavo tho penitentiary walls. Almos before tho four escaping convicts hat: covered the distance of one block, the prison officials, heavily armed, were in pursuit, shooting as they ran 1 1.1. i juiupeu ueuinti trees, ran into houses and crouched down be Jimd any obstacle that presentee refuge. Those living in houses along the lino of flight alarmed by the shooting, rushed out to ascertain the cause. Women screamed and ilci pcrcipitatoly while tho majority of the men seized weapons and joinei tho prison officials in the pursuit.

A desperate fear gavo speed to the convicts and they outran their pur suers. Near the Missouri Pacific rail road they came upon a wagon being driven by Orvillo Lano. Jumping into this wagon they seized Lane unci held him to act as a shield from tin bullets. Tit OUI'S IN OKUANIZKD REVOLT AT SKnASTOJ'OL Trains Htopprd to I'revent Loyal Troop From Giving Altl Situation Very flravo nt St. i'cterstmrff.

SEVASTOPOL. Tho long expected mutiny of sailors, who have been on the verge of revolt for months has come and stronghold on the Black sea is in danger of falling completely in their hands. The situation is very critical. All tho shore equinnages, numbering four thousand men are open in rebellion, having driven away or taken their ollicers prisoners. The Hrest infantry regiment has gone in a body to the revolters.

General Neptolf, the commander of the fortress is a captive. The Biolstok regiment the only other regiment in tiie city, received the mutineers with cheers but thus far it remains loyal. Some of the artillerists have joined the men in mutiny. Beside the Bielstok regiment there are two batteries of artillery and a battery ot fortress artillery here. Tho Etixine lleet is standing in the oiling and is still obeying the orders of Vice Admiral Chouknin, but the crews are disaffected and there is grave doubt whether they can be restrained from joining the mutineer; and greater oubt that they will lire upon them.

'he Seventh army corps and the commander of the corps have been tastily summoned from Simferopol, eight hours distant. There is every evidence that the mutineers was deliberately and per fectly planned by the social revolutionaries who have been pushing their propaganda, with great energy since the bt. Petersburg strike was organized to save the Cornstndt mutineers. Eight sailors at the barrack siezed, disarmed and expelled their ollicers. They then assembley great meeting.

Rear Admiral 'isarveski, commander of the practice squadron, supported by a company from the Brest regiment went to the meeting and when it refused to dis- orse ordered the troops to fire. In stead of shooting the mutineer however, two shots rang out and Captain Stein of the company fell dead and tear Admiral Pisarveski received a mil in his shoulder. During the night the sailors with the aid the social democrat leaders having Ijarned a lesson from the less prudent mutineers at Cronstadt, elected ollicers and decided upon a program dodging themselves not only to pillage, kill, or drink vodka, but to take measures to prevent rowdyism. Pliey were joined by the workmen of tho port and in complete order, the sailors carrying the banner of St. (ieorgo and llie workmen red flags, marched to the barracks of the Brest regiment.

The ofllcers of the regiment threatened to fire upon tho mutineers but General Neplueff, a colonel and five other ollicers surrendered and were sent under escort to the marine prison. Being reinforced by the rank and file of the entire regiment the mutineers and workmen formed a procession composed of 10,000 men and inarched thorough the city. At NovilistoIT place the procession encountered several companies of the Bielstok regiment with a machine gun battery, ilie mutineers ap proached, their bands playing the national anthem and the soldiers received inprocession with full mili tary honors, presenting arms and ex changing cheers. Hut the Bielostok men resisted the appeals of the mutineers to join thorn, and obeying the commands of (mmander Sehul-nian marched off toward the road leading to Balaklava. Tho battery, however, remained with the mutineers and participated in the meeting.

Alter tno meeting the procession formed again and to the bar racks of tho Bielo-dok regiment where there were other companies, but these companies also declined tho invitation of the mutineers to join them. Tho sailors from the barracks' signalled their comrades aboard the warships to join them and also sent a deputation to Vice Admiral Chouknin, requesting him to come to tho sailors' barracks and hear their speech in which he pointed out the madness and criminality of their acts and the dreadful penalties to which they had subjected themselves declined to accede to the request. HOLD nOIIIil.RV OP' A HANK AT LOS ANUELES Fifteen Tlioutnntl Dollar Seonred as IltHult of Night' Work 1C. pert Ittirclnr CreilltttU Wltli tbo Job LOS ANGELES, OAL. Robbers broke into tho local Japanese bank at Hi East Fifth street and took cash amounting to $15,000.

The robbers gained access to the bank, which is a branch of the Nichi Bo I Cinko, by opening the door of a bicycle shop in the adjoining building, cutting a hole through tho brick wall into tho bank and thus reach the rear of tho safe. They had intended, it appears, to break into the safe by the use of dynamite, as tools and dynamite caps were found by tho police behind the safe. Evidently they feared the noise of rv JiVill tl wcj W'lJIVily and they resorted to the use of chisels. With these hole was cut through the back of tho safe, a task that must have required several hours' steady work. Through this hole tho strong box was reached and all tho casii taken out, except $312.50, which was covered with papers.

The robbery was not discovered until the bank was about to open for business. The police say it was the work of expert burglars. Murdered In Dnnce Hall NEW YORK. Election frauds are believed by the police to have caused the murder in New York of W. F.

Harrington in tho Little Naples dance hall and also the probablo fatal injuries of Abraham Jucker-man, who was found with a fractured skull some distance away from the Liltte Naples. Thhe dnce hall is at 57 Great Jones street, and is conducted, by Paul Kelly, leader of an east side gang. From papers found on the dead man and from information obtained from nine prisoners, two of them women, who were arrested after the murder, the police learned that the quarrel started over election matters. One of the prisoners had a marked ballot for the last election in his pocket. Harrington was killed in the barroom of the Little Naples during a re volver battle which left the floors spoted with blood and riddled tho pictures on the wall.

Bnrtcondor Bernard Escotte, one of those under arrest, said that the fight started four members of he liberty association, which isfc hostile to the Kelly gang, entered the room after midnight. One of these men, Escotte savs. iiniued lately ordered drinks for the whole crowd. When everyone was drink ine he insolently pounded with his first on the bar, and exclaimed: "My best friend was shot here. Are there any of vu here that know how to shoot? If you do I'd like to have you begin.

The challenge was accepted and in the battle which followed the polico say that hfty shots were fired. When me ouieer arrived llarrmgotn was A 1 dead on the floor and all the others. including the wounded in the dance hall, had fled after turning out the lights. The deatl man's dog was found crouched over his master' body, and whining. The police say that the friend of ne gang whoso name was made the pretext for the fight was John Ratta, who was wounded at tho Little Naples.

The police also bo lieve that a quarrel over the division of election money was the origina cause of the fight. John Elder was held in $10,000 bail charged with illegal voting ane perjury, and James (iiulagher woe held in $5,000 bail on charge perjury. W. R. Hearst's lawyers claimed that ninety-one votes were found in the one election district the Twentieth assembly district which should have been counted for Hearst and were not.
