From Morning Edtionl
GALVESTON, Oct. b.--A dispatch from
Rusk, Texas, to the News says that ycster-
day, at the terminus of the Kansas and Gulf
Short Line railroad, near Luiker, Texas. sixty
convicts, working on the road, made break
tor liberty, just I. they had finished their
supper. The guards opened FIRE on them
With deadly effect. The latest report says
that twenty-five OF them were killed or
wounded. The prisoners were in one large
body, and the guards simply emptied
their repeating rifles and small arms
into the moving mass. Rumors of an iu-
tended mutiny in this camp have been rife
tor some weeks past. These rumors were
strepg benei by the fact that many Of the
convicts were serving lite sentences, and wei e
known to be desperate characters. Extra
precautions were being taken. Every means
possible is being used to recap,ure the thirty
five who succeeded in eludiug the rifles OF the
guards.
