sensational and tragic occurrence with
fearfully fatal features reached here. The

There were sixty cOnvicts in the party and

deafening yells they started up in body
and rushed for the neighbOring woods.
The gusrds 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 Dody, alio
the guards simply emptied their repeating
rifles and small arms into the moving mass.
RumOrs of an intended mutiny IN the

These rumors were strengthened Dy ine
fact that many of the convlcts were serving
life sentences and were known tc be despe
rate characters and extra precautlons were
being taken. Every means possible Is belnG
used TO recapture the thirty-hve who sue
ceeded in eluding the rifles OF the guards.
