OF tho Peniten tlnry,

Denver Jan. 23.-A special to the
News last night said:
At 1870 tonight an emergency alarm
was given by the guard at the west
gate OF the penitentiary which faces
the warden's quarters.
Warden Hoyt rushed from the house
and hurried to his office firing his re-
yolver at every step. On reaching the
penitentiary he found the institution in
utter darkness, and the inside guard
and occupants in state Of intense ex-
citement.
Gaining entrance he Immediately
called for Deputy Warden Sargent, and
together they proceeded to make an in
vestigation of the interior.
In the guards dining room they
found the lifeless body of viii ID. Roo
ney, captain of the night guard. Ap-
parently he had been stabbed with a
keen-bladed knife in the left breast,
which had entered the heart and caused
instant death.
The body was removed to the peni-
tentiary hospital, where critical ex-
animation was made.

his injuries are OF slight nature.
The trouble is supposed to have orig
mated with the boiler gang. composed
of Wagner, Reynolds and Antoine
Woode and Wallace. All four are des-
perate characters, Reynolds and wag-
ner being the worst men in the pen.
Details are very meagre, but 1t is
known that the four mentioned have
escaped. Two of them We're seen cross
ing the First street bridge, going in the
direction of Silver Cliff.
The other two are supposed TO have
gone over the hog-back Immediately in
the rear of the penitentiary, and may
now be in hiding in the country, which
is broken and very rough.
A general alarm was given in the city
by the ringing of fire bells and shoot
ing of firearms, and at this hour
strong guard of armed citizens is sta
toned outside the penitentiary walls
and on the streets adjoining.
The prisoners escaped by means of a
rope with common hay hook attach
ed. the hook being thrown up on the
wall, providing rough ladder rope.
and then jumped from the top Of the
wall to the outside and liberty.

charge anything that offends it, often
doing an amount of execution hardly
to be believed did not the evidence ex-
list, says the San Francisco Call. Com
bats between swordfish are most inter
esting and may be compared to duel
between two expert swordsmen. Such
contest was observed of the long
pier that extends out into the ocean at
Santa Monica, near Los Angeles, last
year. Some fishermen noticed two big
fish leaping out of the water and
dashing along the surface. Soon 1t
was seen that they were swordfish.
The season was when the fish are un-
usually ferocious. They had made
several rushes and when observed
were at close quarters, striking each
other powerful side blows like cavalry
men. This was unsatisfactory, and
finally they separated and darted at
each other like arrows, the water hiss
Ing as their sharp dorsal fins cut
through 1t. They evidently struck
head on, one missing. while the sword
of the other struck just below the eye
and plowed deep furrow in the fish,
partly disabling it, SO that it turned
and attempted to escape. But its ad-
versary also turned and with rush
drove its sword completely through the
body of its foe and held it fast. only
wrenching its weapon loose when its
enemy stopped swimming.
