the convicts who killed the warden Of the
penitentiary and escaped few days ago
was shot by Sheriff Halliday, Of Santa.

was met by that officer, who commanded
him to put up his hands, when Phelps
fired at the officer, but missed him. The
officer fired twice, one shot passing
through the lungs. Phelps was taken to

this morning for Salt Lake, but died on

were still at large this morning. Il is
probable they have been captured by this
