CONvICTS IN A MUTINY.

Overpower Guards and Escape from
Leavenworth Prison.
Two men were killed and three injured
In a battle between prison guards and
convicts Thursday at the new United
States penitentiary building, Leaven-
worth, Kan. After the guards were over
powered by the leaders of the Jail break
ers the gates were thrown open and all
the $50 convicts given a chance to escape.
Only twenty-siK broke out and they made
good their escape, hiding in the tall
woods near the prison. The attack on
the guards and the escape was the cul-
mination of a well-laid plot, carried out
In the most daring manner.
The meeting took place at the new
prison building, where the conv1cts were
at work. The thirty guards in charge OF
the men were surprised. Then the ring
leaders in the mutiny urged all the pr1s-
oners to join in the revolt. The move
ment spread, and the stockade was IN
wild excitement. Twice repulsed in eff
forts to break from the stockade the
convicts finally carried the main gate by
assault, and once outside started reign
Of terror They drove the persons Gv-
ing near into their homes, captured wag-
ons, buggies and more arms, and holding
close together they started on their flight.
As they went the mutineers spread ter
ror through the country. The escaping
convicts started in to get citizens cloth
ing by making farmers, either in the
fields or roads, strip and exchange for
the numbered and striped convict suits.
Meantime all the prison guards had
been using every effort to prevent gen
eral uprising. The military at Fort
Leavenworth was called on to help re-
store order at the new penitentiary site
and held in check the convicts who did
not leave the stockade.
Some unknown person had passed in
three revolvers to the ringleaders. Gus
Parker, one of the plotters, secured the
weapons unnoticed and he was joined
by Frank Thompson, a big negro, and
the two men held up the office of Frank
Hines, the contractor, and compelled Mr..
Hines and his assistants to march be-
fore them as a shield while they attack
ed the guards on the towers. Ford Quinn
a convict, and J. B. Waldrup, a guard,
were killed. Three other guards were in
jured.
Early Friday morning an increased
humber Of guards, we'll armed and
mounted, were started out from the pen
itentiary, and the day was spent In as
exciting man hunt perhaps as has been
experienced in that part Of the country
since the border days. The convicts and
the pursuing party-forty guards and a
troop Of federal cavalry-met in fierce
battle about seventeen miles southeast
Of Leavenworth, and desperate con-
dict was waged.

FIND HOUSE OF TRAGEDY.
Chicago Police Say the Nato1i Murder
Mystery Is Solved.


Mystery Is Solved.
The murder of Antonio NatoIi has been
explained to the satisfaction of the Chi
cago police. The wagon in which it IS
supposed the body was carried away and
thrown out on the prairie has been dis
covered, and the house in which the po-
lice believe the murder was committed
has been located. The occupant of the
house, Felipe RIM, is under arrest. With
him was found Giovanni Scarafai, but
1t IS not believed he had anything to do
with the murder. Natoli, the police say,
was decoyed to the home of Felipe KIM,
I9Z North Union street, murdered, his
body placed in a barrel, and removed,
with the assistance of a gray horse and
covered wagon. Frank Colby, q private
Waterman, informed the police that he
saw two men take a barrel out OF the
basement and place it in a wagon, which
was backed up to the front door. Of the
two he recognized one as Felipe Rlni.
the peddler occupant of the house. When
the police entered the house they found
nothing to indicate that a tragedy had
been committed there. The first floor APP
parently had not been occupied for sew
eral days. Passing down the half dozen
narrow steps leading to the basement,
the searchers found different scene. The
walls and floor were despatched with
blood. Clothing hanging against the
wall was damp, showing that seeming
effort had been made to remove the blood
stains. Concealed in the corner of the
basement We're two hatchets, while
knife lay on the table. All bore blood
stains upon them, although efforts had
been made to remove the dark marks.
The crime was undoubtedly committed to
obtain the $500 which Natoli was known
to have had.

Holbrook, a New York stock broker who
died suddenly in 1876, is at last to be
cleared up. When he died he was regard
ed as millionaire, but on the settlement
of his affairs his wife and his three chill
dren were unable to get track of the bulk
of his property. HoIbrook's home at
East Marion, L. l., worth $4,000, pass
ed out of the hands of his family on
small claim and is now owned by the
wife of Commodore Latham Fish. Suit
has been brought to recover this property
and the investigation prosecuted IN re-
spect to it has revealed the existence OF
other property of the estimated value or
100000. Isaac S. Holbrook, Jr., was
a baby when his father died, but is now
26 years old. He has been prosecuting
the search for his fathers estate with
yigor. There are now, as a result OF ms
exertions, in a lawyers office two big bat
tered tin boxes in which repose the orig
inal title deeds to millions of dollars
worth of real estate purchased by his
father in the early 7O's and which could
not be traced before owing to the fact
that the deeds were not in Holbrook's
name. In those boxes are the deeds to
100000 acres of land in Kentucky, part
Of which is said to be rich in oil and min
eral deposits. The value of this tract OF
land is said to exceed 100000. Then
there are deeds to a tract of land in the
city of Elizabeth, n. J., a conservative
valuation of which is not less than $780,
