at Columbus, Ohio.

Columbus, Ohio, Nov. 1S.-There was a
desperate attempt made by two convicts
to escape from the penitentiary, this
morning, as a result of which Guard
Charles B. Lauterbaugh was shot and
killed while Convicts O'Neil and Atkinson
were wounded and are now in the prison
hospital.
OfNeil and Atkinson, each on 15-years
terms for robbery are serving their third
terms. Atkinson says that O'Neil re-
ceived two guns ON the Fourth OF July,
when visitors were allowed in the prison.
They were hidden by Atkinson and the
two men decided to wait for fall before
trying to escape.
Atkinson was shot twice in the right
arm and O'Nen has seven severe scalp
wounds. Neither is fatally hurt, put
Atkinson's arm and shoulder are terribly
shattered and his condition is very
serious.
Warden Coffin has decided to ask for a
special grand jury to indict O'Neil and
Atkinson for the murder of Guard Lau-
terbach.
Atkinson and O'Neil's plan to escape
is the most desperate ever known at the
penitentiary Both men were armed ana
they expected to scale the walls and to
keep up a fusilade at the wall guards
while running and take chances of being
wounded or killed.

HA'.vARD.YALE GAME.
Continued from page l.,

TACT 4 feel confident of victory. The
makeup OF the eleven is, however. some
thing on which we are not vet agreed r.
IS not settled whether Mcbride shall nlav
at lullpack or whether the previously an
aouiceu plan of putting Townshend in at
iuA with chamberlain doing the punting
mat may become necessary. That will be
determined at conference of the coach
ers, tonight"
Sharley1 Chadwick did not hesitate to
express himself as quite confident. He
thinks that although Harvard comes +,
Yale fresh from victory, he looks for a
Yale victory because the game is played
on the eleven's home grounds.
Hugh Janeway, the famous Princeton
guard, spoke as follows as to the game
tomorrow THE general public does not
reanze now strong the Princeton line
really was, and for Yale to tear it to
pieces as was done, astounded me-
Yale will play to prevent what has
never yet happened. namely, defeat at
the hands of both Princeton and Harvard
in the same year. The game is played
on home grounds. you may depend upon
II these men Will play the game of their
exceptional form to win out. Form, you
Know, taken as basis for prophecy. has
during the last 10 years proved faulty
three or four times out of five On paper
just now Harvard's form seems to assure
her of victory.
Taken all in all, the Yale team is a
coming team and the Harvard victory
over Pennsylvania does not count for so
much, for luck played big part in It
and Pennsylvania was away out it any
how,
The city, tonight, despite falling rain
and the decided prospect of a rainy day
for the game, tomorrow, is so charged
with excitement and the stores all bril-
Hantly illuminated and handsomely deco
rated with a profusion of deep blue and
bright crimson, lend an air of holiday
gaiety to the occasion. People are con-
gregated ON every corner in the vicinity
Of the campus and groups are discussing
the one absorbing foot ball topic in the
hotel corridors.
BY careful scheming the SPECTATORS
have had a hard row to hoe. and, tonight,
they are trying hard to dispose of their
tickets at face value without a cent
BONUS. his Is que 10 the TACT that the
management has still n number OF tickets
which they are selling to any person
known not to be Il Spectator. Out of the
1910 reserved seats at the field, 49, 100 had
been sold, tonight, and of this number 1t
is believed that not over 200 are held by
spectators.
The Yale field gridiron is as smooth as
a billiard table and to put it in perfect
condition before the rain began to fall,
36 big bales of straw were laid all over
the gridiron. Crushed stone, too, was
laid in all the paths leading to the en-
frances.
There is but very little betting thus far
ana Harvard money is going begging.
Two thousand dollars were offered in the
New Haven house. this evening, with the
odds 10 to on Harvard, but only a small
portion of the money was taken. At the
other rendezvous about the city the same
conditions as regards little betting, but
in every case the Yale men insist on odds.
