One man was killed. FIVE others dan

Iperate %conviCts are At large. as n re-
suit OF a mutiny late this afternoon at
the site of the new United States
prison. where 400 prisoners from the
federal prison. In charge OF thirty
guards. were II work.
When the trouble began the rebellIous
prisoners had only two ~reyolvers. These
had been secreted in one OF the walls
OF the building by some unknown per-
son. Two walls are partly completed
and the remainder Of the site OF the
building is surrounded by 4 high wood
err stockade.
Gus Parker Of Armore. /. T.. one of
the ringleaders ofsthe mutiny, under
pretense of n necessity. walked to the
corner OF the stockade. where the re-
I~volvers were concealed and under cover
Iof some weeds secured them without
being detected. He returned To the
Igang and passed m OF the revolvers 10

his person.
When I. f. Kinds, superintendent OF
n three unarmcd guards
prepared to round up the men at the
end Of the days work. the two armed
IconVicts covered them with the revol-
vers and, encouraged by the other mu-
ltinous convicts, forced the men to walk
before them TO the northwestern corner
OF the stockade. where they expected
to make a rush through the opening.
On the outside OF the stockade VAS an
armed guard and the convicts were met
at the opening by G. r.. Burrows. a
guard, who fought them back. but who
received two shots in the neck.
The convicts then rushed over to the
south wall To another opening and were
met by Arthur Treelford. an armed
guard who is in charge OF all the con-
victs. Treelford resisted the convicts
and was shot twice, but not dangerous
lily wounded.
Defeated in their attempt to escape
at this point, the men rushed to the
g~uardhouse, a temporary frame struc-
ture where the arms are kept. The
guards from the outside rushed in at
this point and drove the conviCts away
from the guard house. ]. =. Waldrupe

The prisoners then made n grand rush
for the main entrance and twenty-siN
of them succeeded in escaping. Most OF
the escaped men are from Indian ter
hitory.
Closely followed by the guards the
linen ran to q nearby forest n sue
ceeded in evading their p~ursuers. The
men went in the direction OF Easton
Kas., and it is reported that they have
held up many farmers, taking horses

ELECTION RETURNS AND TIE
PROMISE.

The recent elections were very much
In the old way. Republican states went
republican, and some by increased ma
jorities. New York city went heavily
against Tammany rule and ruin.
Whether the republicans and their al
lies will be able to mike the city gov
eminent respectable and just and hon
est and keep is so. viii appear hereaf-
ter. It is a notorious fact that New
York and Philadelphia are the most
corrupt OF American cities, and the
thievery and rascality are widespread
and New Jersey seems to
have taken up a permanent abode with
the republicans. Maryland is in a
tangle, and which party will be able to
carry the day is not known as we write.
Kentucky wheels back into the demo-
cratic line where it belongs and should
remain. The republicans have the
north almost completely under their
control. n their great abuses and cor
ruptions that work so much OF con-
stand evil, do not in the least en-
danger the success. This looks bad, for
when the people fail TO distinguish be-
tween right and wrong, between hon
esty and dishonesty, between constitu-
tional law and federal usurpation, De-
tween economy and wild extravaganza,
there is but little hope or chance for the
prosperity and success of a grand old
party OF wise inc long-tried principles,
that as strictly constitutional and for
the people. A low standard of moral
right and political principles is sure to
bring forth corresponding fruit. Elect
men who are for the make, for wildcat
legislation, for the building of colossal
corporations and piling up stupendous
grinding taxes, and for increasing with
out limit the expenditures of the gov
eminent, and the country suffers, the
people are oppressed, complaints run
high and without any possible redress
of grievances
Watch closely the incoming new con-
grerG. You will see that increasing ex-
traragance and greater expenditures
will follow. The trend in this country
and most unfortunately, and among all
kinds of Recommendations, state,
mu icipal-is to greater expenditures.
Ain ost every city of over $4,000 in
habitants. is a victim Of this vice, this
tendency to oppression of taxpayers
The real remedy lies with the people.
hut the people do not seem to under
stand the tendency, or to properly
value the cost of government, or to
unite in depressing all unnecessary out
lay at their expense When the peo-
pie i IN all the states shall combine fol-
a more economical and better govern
ment OF all kinds, then they will sue
coed in. putting the breaks upon the
reckless legislators n then a change
most salutary and needed, will come tc
the country. Goo and honest govern
ment is opposed to great salaries and
enormous expenditures.

FOR THEIR LIVES

NlarShaIS
CONDITIONS ARB CRITICAL
DlOOdShed Is Feared When the Striking
Miners OF Vest Virginia Resume
Their Work
CONDITIONS ARB CRITICAL

Huntington. w. Va, June 25.-Yes-
terday posse Of deputy United States
marshals, led by A. C. Huford, Of Blue
field, were fred on by the strikers and
forced to fee from tho coal nclas at
Matewan. Sunday afternoon the mar.
shals. under the leadership of A. G.
Iiunord SGT out from Blueleld to each
the scene Of the miners riots. when
they arrived within 20 miles Of Thack.
or they found that they could proceed
no further by rail on account of the
flood They strucl, out across the
mountains, encountering almost unsur.
mountahle difficulties. and late Sunday
afternoon reached the end Of their des.
tination.
Proceeding TO work, they began
serving notices OF the Injunction
which had been issued by Judge Jack
son. A mob OF strikers followed, arm
ed TO the teeth with firearms. On all
sides could be heard the cry Down
with government by injunction" Men
threatened them with their weapons,
women called down the vengeance Of
heaven upon them, and children hurl-
ed stones. When nishtfall came no
tice had been served on the strikers OF
all the coal companies but one. and
that was to be served at the Lick Fork
Coal and Coke company at Thacker.
Fearing en- ambush they waited UNI
iii morning, and carly yesterday set
out for Thacker Some time before
noon they attempted to serve the in.
junction papers at the above named
coliiery A mob followed, enraged 60
! desperation at the sweeping character
of the injunction. one reckless fell
low fred the first shot, and quick as
/ lightning the mountain sides echoed
and rc-cchocd with rosoundlng reports
that followed the crack OF 20 or 80
rifles The deputies were forced to
take refuge in light. and then barely
escaped with their lives
The strike situation is assuming a
frighlul stage, Sheriff Hatfield has
withdrawn all OF deputies. because it is
said he does not believe in the policy
being used to put down the strike. The
United States marshals have been loft
alone. and after being chased from the
fields yesterday il Is believed that they
win be strongly reinforced and ready
to fight when they again appear to en-
force the injunction.
Tug river divides West Virginia
from kentucky On each side the
mountains are almost perpendicular
and the entire distance from bank to
bank is not more than 500 yards. On
the mountain side of West Virginia
the colliories are located. On the Ken
lucky side are nothing but mountain
paths A lot of strikers, almost a
thousand strong, have crossed over IN
10 Kentucky and are occupying the
mountain passes. Here they are out Of
reach of the deputy marshals and com
mand the entrances TO the collieries.
The strikers have nothing but hatred
and contempt for the marshals, and it
is said that at the mass meeting at
Thacker on Saturday night they de-
cided to ignore the injunction.
