Mr. Holcomb borrowed some fishing

was seen of him for several hours a
search was made, bit no trace could De

footprints along the river bank 1t was
supposed he accidentally fell into the riv-
s.er. and was drowned, and a reward was
offered for the recovery of his body. Al
though the river was dragged for several
days no body was found
: William J. Bell, local detective, took
up the case, and on the opposite side CO
the river he found footprints that talied
with Holcomb's. From there he traced
him to a block station on the Milwaukee
railway. Here the station agent identi-
fed Holcomb by means of photograph
and also gave a full description of him.
From this station all trace was lost and
nothing more was heard from him until
he appeared at the home of his daughter
a few weeks ago.
Mr.. Holcomb had roamed the country
for about year and can give no account

Broke Into Small Parties.
The convicts in their flight compelled
F. Fl, Kinds, superintendent Of constric-
ton, to go with them, and he was not
allowed to return until they had gone
almost two miles. w. B. Peaslee, one
of the fugitives, Who has only fifteen
months to serve deserted the band a
few moments after Supt. Kinds was re-
leased. They report that the fugitives,
after holding consultation, decided that
they would form themselves into several
small parties, so that some might escape
though others should be captured.
Twenty-fou- members of the Fourth
cavalry hastened to the scene of the
trouble, but when they arrived the con-
victs had escaped, and the soldiers could
not participate in the chase without Or
ders from their superior. Forty armed
guards from the federal prison are in
pursuit of the fugitiveS.
The wounded men are in the hospital.
j. B. Valdrupe was shot in the head and
in the neck and is in a precarious condi-
ton.
c. e. Burrows was shot twice in the
neck, receiving serious wounds.
Arthur Treelford was shot in the leg,
but his wound is slight.
Andrew Leonard, a guard, is in the
hospital with broken leg. He was hurt
as the prisoners were escaping through
the main entrance of the stockade. One
of the fugitives named Otter was shot,
but he was able to go with the others,
and the extent of his injuries is un-
known.
The course that the fugitives have
taken is indicated by the localities in
which they have committed depredations.
Many of their robberies are reported here
tonight. S. A. DAWSON, a farmer ten
miles southwest of here, was robbed OF
horse and some clothing. Three of his
employees were robbed of their coats and
hats. A mail carrier was robbed of his
horse and cart. No report of the pur-
suers having encountered any of the
fugitives has reached here at midnight.

TWENTY-sIX BREAK AWAY
One Convict Killed by Guard in
the Fight Preceding the Escape
-Runaways Take Refuge
in n Forest.

LEAVENWORTH, Kan. Nov. 7.-One
man was killed, five others dangerously
wounded and twenty-six desperate con-
victs are at large as result of mutiny
late this afternoon at the site of the new
United States prison, two miles southeast
Of here, where 400 prisoners from the fed
eral prison, in charge of thirty armed
guards, were at work.
When the trouble began the rebellious
prisoners had only two revolvers. These
had been secreted in one of the walls of
the building by some unknown person.
There are two walls partly completed and
the remainder of the site Of the building
is surrounded by high wooden stockade
Gus Parker, of Ardmore, /. T., one of the
ringleaders of the mutiny, under pretense
of necessity, walked to the corner of
the stockade where the revolvers were
concealed and under cover of some weeds
secured them without being detected. He
returned to the gang and passed one of
the revolvers to Frank Thompson, a
negro, from South McAlester, who Sc
creted it about his person.
When T. E. Kinds, superintendent OF
construction, and three unarmed guards
prepared to round up the men at the end
of the days work, the two armed con-
victs covered them with the revolvers
and, encouraged by the other mutinous
cenvicts, forced the men to walk before
them to the northwestern corner of the
stockade, where they expected to make
a, rush through an opening.
Brave Guards Shot.
On the outside of the stockade was C.
A. Burrows, an armed guard, who met
the convicts at the opening. Burrows
fought them back but received two shots
in the neck. The convicts then rushed
ever to the south wall to another opening
and were met by Arthur Treelford, an
armed guard, who is in charge of all the
convicts. Treeford resisted the convicts
and was shot twice, but not dangerously
wounded.
Defeated in their attempt to escape at
this point, the men rushed to the guard
house, a temporary frame structure,
where are arms are kept. The guards
from the outside rushed in at this point
and drove the convicts away from the
guard house. J. P. Waldrupe, guard,
shot and killed Ford Quinn, from Ryan,
l. T. The prisoners then made grand
rush for the main entrance and twenty
six of them succeeded in escaping.
Closely followed by the guards the men
ran to a nearby forest and succeeded in
evading their pursuers They went in
the direction of Easton, and it Is reported
here that they have held up many farm
ers, taking horses and clothing en- route.
Most of the escaped men are from Indian
Territory.
