DESPERATE CONNECTS

One Shot Dead by the Deputy Warden. But

to Submit.

Leavenworth, Kan, Nov. ia des-
perate train robber and murderer,
Samuel Smith, a convict in the state
penitentiary, was killed here while
attempting to escape from the prls-
on in company with two brother con-
victs and hardened criminals. Z. +.
Estelle, a murderer, under sentence
to hang, and Ben Cravens, under 20
years sentence for highway robbery,
are the other two cOnvicts. Smith
was killed by bullet fired by Deputy
Warden Thompson who, with the
guards, chased the escaping prison
ers. One guard, Valentine Swartz,
was shot three times, though not
fatally, by the convicts.
The escape of the convicts was the
most daring and bold ever put into
execution in the prison. All three
convicts work in the prison coal mine
700 feet under the ground. They had
cunningly devised two dummy revolv-
ers of wood, painted black, with iron
bolts for barrels. They attacked an
officer at the bottom of the shaft, or
dering him to surrender at the point
of the dummy pistol. His hands were
tied with wire and they then sig
nailed to be taken to the top of the
mine.
Arriving at the top they drew their
dummy revolvers on the guard there,
and on his surrendering, tied his
hands. They marched the guards in
front of them to the outer gate Of
the prison wall which opens from a
tower, and, with guards as protectors,

One of the cOnvicts knocked him
down. The prisoners secured the
guards Winchester rifle, revolver and
cartridge belt. Possessed of arms and
ammunition the prisoners turned their
guards loose and started to run. 9th
er outpost guards gave the alarm and
started for the escaping convicts, and
a battle royal ensued. Although so
shots were exchanged by the guards
and the prisoners during the fight,
Deputy Warden Thompson ran up and
opened fire with his revolver. Convict
Smith fell with a bullet through his
brain from the deputy warden's re-
volver. AS soon as Smith was shot

that an effort will be made to starve

Thursday evening the committee
appointed by Council to confer with

Cooks Office and the plan was dis
cussed and the solicitor will make a
report at the next meeting of Coun-

learn how much it will cost to pave
this city and reimburse those who
have already paved on the assessment
A conservative estimate of the cost is
1915, 900, and some place it as high
as 100000 1t is needless to say that
the taxpayers will be against this
move and Council will most likely
drop the idea, as it would not look like
good business to put the city in such
an enormous debt that would require
over fifty years to pay. The old plan
is certainly the best, and the majority
of the taxpayers are in favor of it.
