BAD CONVICTS REVOLT
Many of Them Make a Bold
Break For Liberty.
KEEPERS mURoeRoUsLY ATTACKED

The Iona, Mich., Reformatory tho Scene
of Rioody Battle - Three Convicts
Killed and Several of the Prison Offic-
iaIs Dangerously Wounded.
DETROIT, July ia special despatch
from Ionia, Mich, says:
Fully 75 convicts ut the House OF Cor
rection made break for liberty yesterday
afternoon. They were at work in the va
rious shops The first ~ or Is left their
work and started for the west wall.
The ringleader was convict William
Smith, known as 803 a five-year man sent
up from Detroit. Smith has lost time be
fore, having made an attempt to escape
year ago last September, and he is tough
character.
Tinsmiths have been at work on shop
No. 21 about 10 rods from the west wall
repairing conductor pipes. Two long lad
ders were used and were standing against
the building.
Smith started out and was followed by
the others who were In the scheme. He
quickly clasped the ladder standing against
the west wall.
Warden PARCEL had discovered that
had doubled the guards yesterday morning.
Teacher Courley was watching around IN
the vicinity of this building and when he
saw Smith and the gang come out he fired
shot from his revolver into the ground
and ordered them back. Smith urged
them on, paying no attention to the or der.
The men ON the wall and about the yard
quickly assembled at this point and were
ordered by Warden Parcell to stop the
break. general fussilade commenced
and hand to- hand fight followed. The
leaders were knocked down but the con-
victs replaced them, and Oscar Miller, an
eight year man, gained the top OF the wall.
The guard shot at him and the ball
went clear through his body and he dropped
to the ground dead. In the meantime a
terrible battle was going on below. Con-
vict Smith struck at Deputy Warden Row
ley with hammer, but the latter lodged
and escaped death. Rowley struck con-
vict Charles +. Jones on the head and he
dropped. He will doubtless die, as his
head is terribly cut. William Eager, sent
from Grand Rapids, was badly wounded
and his recovery is doubtful He is serv-
ing Is year sentence for manslaughter.
Smith, another convict, brought into play
a long billy made out of sheepskin, loaded
with sand. This with three hammers, a
large wrench and round stone were after
wards taken from the leaders ia the break
How they got them is mystery.
4eacher Gourley was struck on the head
with the stone which was hurled at him.
1t grazed his skull but did not seriously
injure him.
1t was only by prompt action that the
wholesale liberation of the convicts was
averted. Hallmaster Parcell grabbed up
the hot irons used by some local timers
and commenced prodding the convicts,
who ran back.
Four convcts were injured. Jones has
concussion of the brain, and Smith, the
leader, was found to have bad cut on
the back of the head.
On seeing the first ten follow Smith out

Advice to Young Women.

There is nothing so certain to make
you disliked as to tell your troubles to
a friend. Prosperity means friendship,
but once you take it into yonr heal to
retail your woes YOU will soon
discover that your company is not
wanted, and people who once bowed
to you in pleasant recognition now
walk on the other side of the way with
a cold and stony glare that looks over
your head or through your body, but
never meets your eyes as of yore.
The people are not hard-hearted
that turn the cold shoulder to you.
They are only averse to knowing of
any more misery than they already
have to hear. We every ono of us
have our little troubles. In some
cases they grow to be very large ones,
and it isn't pleasant to have the dark
side continually thrust before us just
when we begin to feel a bit comforta-
BILE in our minds over some unpleasant
occurrence that has upset us for a
time.
Take bit of valuable advice, and
when you feel like telling some one of
your spat with your intended or how
low your finances are, just remember
our warning and don't Go it. Your
mother, your husband are the truest
sympathizers, and outside of them you
are certain to be called a bore if you
persist in narrowing condolences.

FATE OF A MULE.

1t Breaks Its Neck at the sight of n Bicycle
In Motion.
Sam Chadwick had a mule. 1t was
n good mule 1t was a pretty mule,
and useful animal too The mule
is dead now, and thereby hangs a tale
of the mule. The mule, during the
halcyon days of its lifetime when all
the world was gay and the wind
soughed through the tall syeamores
near his muleship's chateau, was not
partial to bicycles and generally
kicked when one of the two wheeled
concerns hove in sight But this did
not bother its owner. The mules dis
position was distorted, and he would
kick even when jostled against. One
day the mule was hitched to post in
West Guthrie munching on the essence
of time when Ralph Robertson, a young
man, advanced toward him on bi-
cycle With one terrific shrek the
mule poised its head into the atmos-
phere and fell into swoon. While
swoonng its neck was broken.
Now comes the denoument Chad
wick sues Robertson for S7j damages
for the loss of his mule. Squire Me
Carver heard the case yesterday and
will render a decision to-day Robert
son is represented by Attorneys Eos
