MORNING APPEAL.
WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 25
SAN QUExTIN ssCAPE~.

The San Francisco Chronicle
says: Thus far during the present
year, there have been seven es
capes from the State Prison at San
Quentin, which is the greatest mum
Der in any one year since 1881, and
which exceeds the average for the
past ten years. There is but one
way to account for these escapes,
and that is carelessness on the part
OF those who are charged with the
duty of guarding the convIcts. The
prison is so constructed that
escape is impossible if the guards
exercise proper vigilence. Ii they
do not, as seems to be the case,
such cunning and determined men
as many of the prisoners are will
naturally take advantage of the
negligence and get away.
At the time of the recent escape
OF three prisoners there were 700
feet of the Prison wall entirely
without protection. The convicts
who escaped were allowed so much
Liberty within the walls that they
found no difficulty in stealing two
ladders, one from the whitewasher's
house and the other from the en-
gine-roOm splicing them together,
placing them against the wal and
climbing up. When they reached
reached the wall, as one OF them
Who has been captured states, the
guard on tile wall was too far away
to see them, and all they had to
d. was to drop down on the out
side of the wall and make the best
o. their way from tie prison to the
Country. The man who WAS cap
tured broke his ankle in dropping
down, bat the other two got safely
off and are sull at large. The
State certainly pays enough for tue
support OF the State Prison to keep
it probably and effectively guarded,
aud there has been carelessness and
Neglect oil duty OF the part OF some
b ,dy. The directors should make
and conclude an investigation with.
out delay and dismiss the men TO
whom the escapes are chargeable;
or, If it be found that they were
only acting under orders, the Off
Chats Who gave the orders should be
turned nut ipr their incompetence.

c slow and taunting dance in . circle, of which the dying man was the cen- ter. w, who understood Sioux per- fectly, remarked:
 "Listen to that onery brute. He's tauntin' the other one afore he gives him his coup. He's callin' him all the bcastlv names he kin think of. We'll, that's the IDjun of 1t, but seems to me Its pretty low down."
 I suggested that we might interfere and prevent further bloodshed, but W. said succinctly:
 "Let be. Ef you or me went in there we'd get 1t, sure. Nothip' kin save Crooked Neck, and it's lucky fer us he's the unlucky one. Elf it'd . been Wild Bear, as l told ye to begin, thered "a been general row, and like as not we'd "a got our bullet from some of 'em."
 As he spoke Wild Bear walked de- liberately up to Crooked Neck, and, placing the muzzle of his rife against the dying reds temple, fired and scat tered his brains about the sand. Then there was a rush from the ranks, but the winner in this duel to the death raised his rife and bade them all stand back. He must strike his dead foe with his coup stick, or all the glory of the fight would be lost to him. A brother handed him the 1.-the little bit of willow. He struck the corpse twice with 1t, and then turning toward the river, sent up 6 war-whoop which must have frightened the catfish. That was all. Wild Bear walked over to the corral and got his shirt, breech- cloth, moccasins and leggins from an admiring spouse, while the Lower Yanktonnais women present gathered around the disfgured corpse and set up the terrible death vail of their kind.
 "Now's our time for leavin'," said w., and we speedily gained our horses, and then the ferry boat, which landed us on the western shore in absolute safety. Crooked Neck's body was brought over the river during the day and set up on four poles near the Yanktonnais' camp. Wild Bear was afterward one of the agency police, and as such allowed to bear arms when tho guns were taken from his fellows. But he bore his hatred to his foe deep in his heart, and never passed the body without emptying the contents of his rife therein.

AN INDIAN DUEL.

A turgid, swirling, rushing river the mad Missouri; low, sandy point of the eastern shore, almost treeless, and embracing abont twenty acres a large corral in the center of this prom ontory ten logs high and capable of holding 150 head of cattle; 6 mass of armed Sioux, shouting, gesticulating, firing their pieces Qoaded with ball cartridge) in sheer wantonness; here and there an agency employe in civilian dress or blue-coated soldier; on the opposite bank of the river the low buildings of Standing Rock agency, and c little further south the quarters, barracks, storehouses and stables of Fort Yates over all the intense blue of . Dakota sky in August.
 Such were the concomitants of the scene of an Indian agency beef killing in 1876, less than two months after Custer and his troopers had been shot to death on the banks of the Little Big Horn. That the ensemble was pictur- esque was no more true than that 1t had many clements of the horrible in the eyes of the whites, who could not tail to remember that many of these yelling redskins had been even more jubilant over the slaughter of the sol- diery led by the gallant "long- haired chief"
 On the morning which I most dis tinctly remember I had been detailed to make the distribution, and by the exercise of some authority and some persuasion hsd succeeded in keeping the main body of the Indians out of the corral, having only to do with chiefs and head men. Disguised with the scene, which could never become anything but terrible to a white man, no matter how often he was compelled to see it, I was turning away to get my horse when the agency farmer seizad mo by the arm and half led, half dragged me to the high corral fence, made of superimposed logs, and with the words, eli you don't want to get . bullet through you climb up to the top there, and be mighty quick about it. . aided mo into . petition beside him. self The -soene had changed with startling rapidity.
