BREAK AT THE STATE PRIsoN.-les-
terday forenoon, Eugene LIE Fevre, a
Canadian Frenchman sentencedto the
State Prison from Washoe county, for
manslaughter, for eight years from
September IL, 1868, walked out at the
open gate way through which other
convicts were wheeling stone, and
started toward this city. Ia alarm
was given and guards started i'll pur-
suit, but III approaching INN ne
turned and made Il furious assault
upon them with stones. Shots were
fired each side of his head, but he pad
no attention to them, and at last one
of the guards slipped up behind nm
and knocked him down. We learn
that one of the guards sustained a
severe cut on the bead from a stone
thrown by the convict. The desper-
ado was recaptured and returned to
his old Quarters. None Of the other
| prisoners made any attempt to escape
during the excitement, though several
of them we believe were outside OF
the enclosure at the time, but were
covered by the guns on the wall. lie
Fevre will be remembered as the
man who killed old MAJ Gregory,
iailer of Storey county, some years
since. during the Jail emeute in which
