Owen County farmer. coming INTO the city
in a buggy, forced him 10 give his
buggy mp 10 them and drove two
or three miles in the buggy. Ic1y-
ing the vehicle i'll the ruad they took

men gave pursuit. but no tldings have Yet
been received from them. Each al ihe es-
ccnyicts was armed with more than
three reyo!yers. All are regarded a. the
most desperate men under sentence Of on

the amputation OF the leg. IL il thought
however, it will not prove. fatal. Robinson,
guard. will also. IL l. thought. have Ia
suffer the amputation of a lcg. Cunning
the .~trus,y" who rendered such prais-
services, receives the gratitude Of
the city and will have powerful hedging in
his behalf for "A pardon. He was cut In the
>iie with a knife. but the wound Il
not dangerous. Captain johnson was
over the head and back
and is suffering much pain from his
but il still at his post. Only the
three conyicts named escaped.
