 ESCAPES AND ATTEMPTS.
 There are no escapes to report dur ing the quarter, and but two attempts there0t. Convict Francisco Lopez, No. 7lS, received April 24th, 1891, from Pima county for the crime of grand larceny, for term of s years, and Garbino Lopez, No. Al, received on the I7th of June, 1891, from Cochise county for the crime of robbery, for term of ' years, both attempted to escape as follows: On the morning of July 30th, 1891, at about :15 B. m the above named convicts in company with 19 others while en route to their work on the levee, on the east side of the town of Yuma, and passing a very brushy bend in the trail with Guard Rice in the lead and Guard Martin in the rear, and at time, when from the nature of the road, the rear guard could not see the front one, the two conyicts suddenly sprang upon the front guard, and cut him in the hand with flax hackle tooth Ca sharp steel instrument about II inches long.) In the struggle between the guard and both convicts, concealed as they were from the view of the rear guard, who could only order the other 19 convicts to lie down, which they did, he vas powerless to assist the front guard from the number of convicts he had | to take care of. The convicts suc- ceeded in wrestling the guards gun l from him, but as the same had no cartridge in the barrel, and the con- vict in his hurry to load it, got the load foul in the barrel Tbc guard had by this time drawn bis pistol and shot one of the prisoners, which so 1 frightened both, that they threw away the gun and ran away. Capt. B. F. Hartlee, who was at the time superin- tending the levee construction for the relief committee of the town of Yuma, arrived about this time, and alter a short chase compelled both conyicts to surrender to him. l Both convicts when searched were found on them their sheets torn in strips and wrapped around their lOins, showing plainly that they had provided in advance fer the escape, and intended to disguise themselves as Indians. 1 would therefore suggest that your Honorable Board take such action in the premises as the law provides.
