GRAHAM, Texas, Jan. 3.-The tire,
Mcdonald brothers, murderers of mar
named Martin, at Belknap, made DIES
perate effort to escape from Jail yester.
day, which resulted in their death and
that of a deputy Sheriff, besides the
serious wounding Of several other peo-
pie. Abont 10 O'clock in the morning
the Mcdonald boys were led from the
steel cage to the calaboose, and with
! Jim Boone and Jack Baldwin, two
other prisoners, were given their break
fast by two deputies. One deputy was
testing the cage while it was empty
and the other deputy Davis Milton)
stood in the door Of wooden cell open
ing from the calabOose to the steel cage
He had pistol in each hand, keeping
watch. Presently he put both revolvers
in one hand to get match from his peck
ct, when the McDonalds sprang upon
him suddenly and disarmed him. In
the struggle Milton was shot in the
hand. His cries brought Murphy, an
other deputy, from the cage, but on
entering the calaboose he was shot and
instantly killed by the prisoners. The
prisoners then made hole through the
floor to the room below. and taking
Milton with them began their escape.
A bloodhound watches the Jail, but by
detour they avoided him and took
their flight in southwesterly direction
BY this time the whole town was excited
The citizens gathered 200 strong and fol-
lowed the fleeing prisoners. The latter
placed their hostage, Davis Milton, be- |
hind them and threatened to shoot him |
dead if they were fired on. Thus the
murderers proceeded some 500 yards,
when ore citizen deliberately took aim
and fired, MORALLY wounding one of the
fugitlves, who fell. Deputy Milton
seized the opportunity, broke loose and
ran. A general fusilade was now ex-
changed between the citizens and the
escaping prisoners. The latter en-
renched themselves in the weeds and
'tumps and the battle ragged for some
lime. When shooting ceased the three
IcDonalds were dead. Milton was shot
hree times and an old man named
Wood WAS woundad in tho thiuh A |
waiter named Joe had bone of his leg
battered. Baldwin and Boone took
10 part in the shooting and were re-
aptured.
