A PRISON REVOLT.
a Kansas Jailer Has Fight With
r. Revolving Prisoners.

- OLATHE, Kan, Feb. 27.-There was a
revolt among the prisoners in the
county jail here last evening, Deputy
Sheriff Campbell was giving them their
supplies when negro desparado, Hugh
pMckihnis, grabbed an iron poker and
lmadea dash for the door. Campbell
dropped his tin plates and jumped for
him and caught him just as he reached
the door. Two other negro desperadoes
cameatO McKinnis' aid and made a savage
onslaught on the deputy, but the latter
succeeded in keeping them inside and
locked the door. He then ordered them
to go to their cells, but they refused to
go, and threatened to brain him if he
unlocked the door and came inside.
The sheriff was out of town and
Campbell. not wishing to take the re-
sponsibility in killing them, sent for
the county attorney, while he held the
fort. When the county attorney arrived
he ordered the prisoners into their cells,
but they laughed at him. He then told
the sheriff to use force, even to shoot
ing them, If necessary. At this time
two, other citizens came to the officers
assistance and Campbell opened the
door, and all made rush for the des-
peradoes. McKinnis struck Campbell
with the poker, while Green Johnston
struck at Parker with club, but Parker
warded off the blow, and returned a
counter which Quoted his assailant.
The struggle was short but decisive.
and the three prisoners were soon hand
cuffed and locked in the cells.

NOT A HiPPODROME.
Dan Needham Says He Fought
Connolly as Hard as He Could.

Dannie Needham came back to st.
Paul last night from Ashland, where he
fought jim Connolly last Friday night.
He has black eye, and his face looks
as if it had been hammered somewhat.
His hands were rather stiff and bit
lame. but yet he said he was feeling in
good shape. He said that whatever
hippOdr0ming was done at the fight was
done by Connolly. and he had no hand
in any deal. 1T made me feel sick TO
see what the papers said about it," he
said to GLOBE reporter. Il
would rather have given back
the money and have had
no fight at all. l fought as hard as |
could. and while Connolly is a good
fighter and too heavy for me believe l
knocked him out. l believe that at the
start he intended to do as little fighting
as possible, but when he tried to end it
the second round, the crowd and his
hackers would not have it so, and one
man in the crowd was so mad that he
pulled a pistol and threatened to shoot
if Connolly did not get up and fight"
The Ashland papers say that Need
ham and his hackers can not be blamed
for any hippodroming and they call
Connolly a coward.

ance there of 55 cents.
This afternoon Manager Locke en-
tered suits against Eloi Sylvia for dam

against Henry and Bertha Pierson for
like amount. Mr.. Locke alleges that
the defendants procured his arrest and
imprisonment on warrants falsely
charging him with issuing bogus checks.

ASHLAND, Feb. 27.-After all the
pretenses that John P. Glow has made

day that he does not consider himself in
the giants class. Ever since last July
Glow has been bluffing Conley, but when
he was offered big odds he could not es-
cape. The articles of agreement are to
this effect: Conley is to wear four
ounce gloves, and Glow just enough to
cover his llnuckles. The battle is to oc-
cur here April 7, and is to be six rounds,
IS per cent of the gate receipts to go to
the winner and % to the loser. Each
man has deposited $3.50 as forfeit. No

The Athletic Park.

Mayor Smiths Office was the rendez-
vous yesterday afternoon of several
gentlemen who are interested in the
proposed Athletic Park association, but
no definite action was taken regarding
site as it was deemed expedient to
have majority of the directors present
when this question was to be settled.
An informal discussion ensued, during
which it was shown that the sentiment
was overwhelmingly favorable to the
West st. Paul location, because of the
many facilities afforded for reaching
the grounds in short time. As far as
the West Seventh street ground was
concerned the price fixed was too much,
and especially in view of the fact that it
was situated so far from the center OF
the city. 1t was agreed that another
meeting should be held tomorrow after
noon, when the final steps would be
taken for securing suitable site and
inaugurating the work of improvement
OF the new park for athletic purposes.
