A BATTLE WITH ooNv1ors.
A Deputy Sheriff Shot Dead and One
Of the Jail Birds Fatally Wounded.


Birmingham, Ala, Jan. 19.-As result
Of the escape of seven convicts from the
Pratt mines on Thursday, one of the
bravest deputies in Bib county is dead,
and one Of the eonvicts is now at the point
of death at the mines.
As soon as possible after the escape
messages were sent 10 officers in
all the adjoining counties to that
enect, and they were required TO appre-
bend and bring them back, if possible.
Deputy Sheriff Dexter. Of Bibb, receiving
one OF the messages, and learning
that the notorious OUTLAW, Jim Morris,
was among the number. rightly concluded
that he would come in that direction. he
having friends in his old haunts in that
county. Securing the aid Of two Others
he left for the home of Morris best friend
near Bessemer, and close to where
Morris father lives. About 3 O'Clock
this morning they came upon Morris and
another convict named Davis. Deputy
Sheriff Dexter advanced ahead of the
ofhcers and called out TO the men, whom
they readily recognized, TO halt and sur
render.
DEXTER SHOT DEAD.
Instead Of doing so, they opened fire,
with the result that Deputy Dexter fell
from his horse corpse. The other Off
GERS opened fire, and Davis fell with a
bullet IN his groin. Morris began retreat
ing, at the same time continuing to fire
on his pursuers. He made his escape.
Hundreds of friends of Dexter, the dead
man, are securing the country for
Morris, who, IL is learned, has been joined
by another Of the escaped men, and who
Is also known to be desperate man, and
1t is safe to predict that if the pursuers
and the pursued meet bloodshed and pos
sioly death will follow. At a late hour
last night it was reported that they were
surrounded in the woods, but as yet moth
ing definite has been learned here.
