Three Prisoners >hot While Attempting

Folsom, Cal. March "A desperate at
tempt to escape was made by a band of
penItentiary convicts to-day. As a result
three convicts are IN tho prison hospital
suffering from gunshot wounds. One is
mortaily wounded, another will probably
die, and the third is painfully injured.
This forenoon Captain Ellis and Horse
Guard y ckerson took Ia prisoners out,
crossed the American river, and set tho
men to work in the quarry. Ascertaining
that they had more men than we're needed,
Nickerson started back to prison with two
of them. When he had gone three of the
II men remaining made n break for lib
erty, scrambling up the rocky cliff. Ellis
opened fire on them. He soon brought
two of them to the ground, and tho thir J.,
when wounded, threw up his hand and
surrendered.
The injured convicts are: Turner, a
negro from San Francisco, serving eight
years; Garcia, Spaniard from San
Benito, serving eight years; Anderson, n
negro from san Francisco, serving ID
years.

THE SENATE UPSIDE DOWN

Special Dispatch 20 the STANDARD.
HELENA, March 2.-Montana has two
new toun les, Carbon and Sweet Grass.
On Babcock's motion today to reconsider
the voc by which Carbon county was
passed there was again tie. Lieutenant
Governor Bo kin again voted with the
friends of the bill and the motion was de-
ella red lost. so the bill goes to the gov
ernor. Then came the surprise of the
season, the passage of the Sweet Grass
county bill. 1t has been predicted all
along that Sweet Grass, although it passed
the house by a good maj lrty, did not
stand any show at all in the senate. Tne
peculi ar rcumstance surrounding the
passage of The Carbon county bill, to-
aether with certain other complications in
the senate, caused three or four OF the
senators to switch in favor of the bill.
Hatch, EIgleston and Brosnan led the
fight for the bill.
Folsom tried 10 get certain amendments
in behalf of Meagher county, but failed,
and the bill went through with whoop by
a vote of IL TO Z. Hatch secured sus-
pension of the rules when the committee
of the whole arose and the bill was put on
it's third passage Immediately. 1t has
now gone to the governor.
ber of bills were passed. The house
primary election bill was treated as a
party measure, all the republicans voting
for IL and all the democrats against it.
Brosnan, populist, voted with the repub'
licans.
The harher's Sunday closing bill came
up and Green. Steele and Eggleston spoke
in it's favor. NOBODY spoke against it and
the bill went through. The senate then
took up Culen's bill locating the soldiers
home at G.endive and passed it. When
Brosnan's name was called he said the
senate seemed to be joshing and as he
wasn't in a joshing mood just then he
would vote no.
House bill 163, providing for warden
for the penitentiary, was killed.
A large number of house bills of minor
importance were put through the commit
tee of the whole.
