Lawrence, Nov. 9. The second couple of escaped convicts from the federal prison at Ft. Leavenworth were brought to Lawrence this afternoon by farmers on the Arch Garvin place, a few miles north of town. The men were Gus Parker, 1984, and Dave Grayson, 650.

They had one gun, but when they saw they were surrounded, threw it away and gave themselves up. The gun was afterwards found and brought to town. The men had secured citizens' coats, but still wore their other prison clothing. These two men, together with Deekin and Bobo oaDtured last nieht. wer talron back to the prison cells at Leavenworth this evening by guards who have been here all day.

The gun which was captured this afternoon is said to be the one with which the convicts started the mutiny, and throueh it the federal prison authorities hope to ne able to locate the parties who abetted the convicts in the escape. The sun is now in the possession of Sheriff Myers here and will be retained until the weapon is wanted as evidence at Leavenworth. There Is no further effort on the part of the officers here to at present locate others of the onvicts. The entire coun try from Lawrence to Wakarusa was gone over carefully this afternoon to locate trace of three convicts who left thfi horses on the north side of the river and crossed by means of boat stolen for the purpose. These men were reported this morning at 11 o'clock and large posses nave been looking for some sisms of the men ever since.

The officers here will re main on the alert, however, and if any otner or tne convicts be located In this part of the state they will be promptly taken in oharge.

9. As Wm. Coder, a farmer living near this city, was driving home this evening at 6 o'clock he was set upon by three of the escaped federal convicts and robbed of his team and buggy. Mr Coder was also forced to exchange eclothing with one of the robbers. The convicts then drove rapidly toward the southeast.

The dead bodies had been wrapped in cheap cloth before they were placed in the boxes. The Injured Greene was comfortably fixed and covered with heavy blankets, and J. G. McClaughry, son of the warden of the government prison, sacrificed his overcoat in order that the garment might be wrapped about the shoulders of Drake, who had no coat ot his own. The trip from here to Atchison was made on the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railroad and from Atchison to Leavenworth on the Missouri Pacific.

The Injured mutineers fell in places far removed from each other. Hid Themselves in the Hay. Foy Weishaar, son of the man on whose place the battle was fought, saw five suspicious appearing men near the railroad tracks, not far from the house, early in the afternoon.

He noticed them particularly on account of their efforts to hide. They dodged behind trees and mounds, and, later were seen going in the direction of the barn. The convicts were not sure that they had been seen and ran the risk of concealing themselves in the hay. Young Weishaar told his father of what he had seen and the older man concluded at Oil CP, that th A fivo mon tnA.n A cic cacL JJtrVl convicts.

To throw the convicts off their guard in the event that thev were itddtn in the loft above, they began to talk about nay.

9. Three convicts dead, two in the hospital, ten In striped suits in solitary cells in the old penitentiary, are those captured of the gang of twenty-seven mutineers who overpowered the guards and broke for liberty at the new penitentiary stockade Thursday. This has been good work for forty-eight hours, and Warden McClaughry feels sure that he will have all but two or three back in a couple of days more. Fourteen are still at large. The four from Lawrence, shackled and under the care of a deputy warden and tlx guards, were brought into the old penitentiary tonight Reports were sent to the penitentiary today that two had been captured in Topeka and one in Junction City, but it was learned this evening that these reports were wrong.

At Junction City a tramp was arrested who afterwards gave a good account of himself and was released. Re-rorts received during the day say that rangers were arestcd as suspected convicts at several points. They were released when the prison officials sent in description of the missing convict. On Trail of Others. The guards on the hunt are sure that two small squnds of the convicts are close to Topeka In the bottoms near Perryville.

Two squads of well armed guards are hunting in this neighborhood. The report that Frank Thompson was shot and captured while south of Tonganoxle turns out to be false. It is now reported that Thompson is leading one of the small convict parties supposed to be near Perry-villa. When the guards come up on them a battle Is expected to follow. The officers will take no chances.

Three convicts were seen within ten miles of Leavenworth, near the Bell school house this afternoon. They were all mounted and well armed. Farmers were thrown into a state of alarm for a time. The farmers anticipated that another effort would be made to steal horses. Several farmers hastened to the city and notified the pclice and prison officials and party of police and hunters went out ready for a battle.

The police party have not been able to catch up with the trio. It is thought these three lost their way and were going back to Leavenworth by mistake. The excitement has nearly subsided. People are now inquiring as to the number captured. The guards will be kept out two days more.

Warden McClaughry will keep them on the hunt as long as there Is a prospect of running a bandit down. It Is believed that the fourteen convicts Ftlll at liberty have broken up Into twos and threes "and scattered to avoid attracting attention and this may aid them In getting away. It Is now possible that some of them may get Into the Indian territory before morning. As fast as the men are captured they are returned to the penitentiary and placed In solitary confinement. When the condition of the guards shot at the outbreak is finally determined, the convicts will be charged with the added crime of cotisplrlng to kill their guards, and possibly with murder.

If that charge can be placed properly. The dead bodies of Qulnn, Huffman and Poffenholz will be fcurled in the prison grounds. One Betrayed in Leavenworth. The capture of James Wilson in Leavenworth city this mornhig was surprising. Wilson had on a chain and twenty-five pound ball when he Joined the mutineers and he did not attempt to travel far.

He topped at the home Jesse Miller, a Leavenworth negro, aid obtained something to eat. Miller gave Wilson citizens' clothes and a file to get rid of the chain attached to his Miller told Wilson he would try to get a horse for him. Instead, Miller telephoned the police and Just as Wilson had discarded the chain the surrounded the shanty and captured him. He is now decked out In the stripped suit and wearing, ankle bracelets again. As Wilson came in thtj sally porpf the penitentiary this morning the trusties laughed.

9. The annual football game between the Haskell Indians and the University of Kansas resulted in victory for the Indians for the first time since contests have been general events in Lawrence. The score was 18 ito 5 but the game was much closer than that indicated, for the Kansas men played In better form than before this year, and during the first half fairly played the Indians to a standstill. The game was a clean exhibition of high grade football and was witnessed by 1,200 people, the largest crowd that has gathered on McCook field for years. The day was ideal and the interest in the game was intense.

The friends of the teams were about evenly divided on the side lines and a good play by either set of men was heartuy cheered. The Indian line could not withstand the plunging work of the Kansas team and -the interference by which the Indians have been able to run ends so much In past game was broken time and again by the Kansas ends and tackles. In fact the Kansas team played more as a team and less as individuals than in any contest before this season. The work showed a great Improvement in form and indicates that Kansas and Nebraska will be up against the real thing when the Kansas team meets them late in the season. The Kansas team played a number of new men today, Vincent in the line, Morrison at full back and Jenklfison and Mc-Kehna at halves.

While the work of Morrison was on the grand stand order, he made great advances of the ball and 6howed himself a line plunger without an equal on the team. In the first half he was used very frequently to advance the ball but In the second half the work was divided up. Jenkinson also played a great game at half, making good advances, while McKenna, though comparatively new to the place, played the other half in an exceptional manner. Nofsinger at end got Into the Interference and stopped the advances of the Indians In a remarkable manner while Hicks at the other end was almost as good. Louthan and.Brummage were used merely to make line advances and neither haroly ever failed to carry the ball for the distance expected of him.

The Indians had not recovered from the effects of their northern trip and In the first half played in a half-hearted sort of a way that caused dismay to the hearts of their supporters. Carl, at center, was suffering from a spinal iniurv. and Du bois had a sprained ankle, while Dugan, the plunging half back, was entirely out of the game and his work was greatly missed. Fallls, at half, plaved the tar same for the Indians, advancing the bail oftener than any other man and further than any one but Balne, who broke through twice for forty and fifty yards and touch downs. Redwater also played a great game.

The second half saw Arch-iquette go in at quarter, Guyon at end and before the half was over Fallls was forced to retire. Oliver went to his place, and Tomahawk went into the line. The Indians played much better in the second half than the first and showed something like their old form. The score at the end of the first half was 6 to 5 in favor of the Indians, and at the end of the second half the total of 18 to 5 had been reached. The men lined up as follows: HASKELL.

Bapst, councillor of the French embassy received a satisfactory communication from the porte regarding the remainder of the French demands. The conflict between France and Turkey may, therefore, be regarded as ended. The Sultan's yielding to the French demands brings out the full gravity of the effect of the seizure of Mitylene upon the crumbling edifice of Turkish despotism. The whole of European Turkey is seething with disorder. In Armenia the annual butcheries have been In progress for the past three months, and in the remainder of the empire there is violence, corruption, waste and lawlessness.

From the army to the magistracy, every part of the government is In a hopeless condition. The diplomats at Constantinople believe that any attempt at patching things will be futile. The news of the French intervention was suppressed at Constantinople for three days, but the Sultan's cabinet was in constant session showing that a serious crisis had arisen.

In consequence of this activity, which has lately been increased by the Bulgarian troops, the condition of Madame Tsilka, Miss Stone's companion.
