The forest in which the convicts sought refuge after their automobiles were stalled on the roadway near here, is nine miles long, and therefore it was not possible to surround it. Posscmen admitted it possible that the convicts had scattered and made their way. one at a time out of the forest. They declared, how- evr. that they expected to find the heavily armed together in the forcot and that a battle would follow The convicts have two pistols, one fholgu.n and seven rifles and a large supply of ammunition Among their number are some of the most desper- a men who were confined at the state prison farm, including L.

The real complaint from which Premier Mussolini has been suffering is ulceration of that part of the small intestine next to the stomach, accompanied by rather severe hemorrhages, it is learned from an authoritative source.

He now is considered out of danger. Hiss illness began with an attack i of influenza. Soon the passages of blood was noticed, the emanations being accompanied by intense pain. There was bleeding from the mouth. The most critical moment was when the premier suffered a strong hemorrhage which frightened all his attendants.

Dr. Bastianelli rushed to his bedside and then summoned Dr Marchiafava, famous pathological' expert, for consultation. The brother, Arnaldo, hurried to the capital from Milan. The doctors found the presence of ulceration, locating it in the duodenum, the glands of which were found to be enlarged. They agreed on the treatment, expressing hope that the crisis had been reached and that it would bt followed by a healthy reaction.

From that moment gradual im- 1 provement began and the premier, though weakened by loss of blood, was considered out 0f danger a week afterward, when he entered the first stage of convalescence. The doctors balieve the ulcer is passing through the process of cicatrization. The condition continued to improve rapidly, making it possible for him to leave his bed last week but the physicians insisted that he take extreme care of himself. They directed that he avoid violent exercise and have prohibited him, when he shall leave his residente, from riding, fencing or even too speedy motoring. CHEYENNE Wyo Mar.
