K.ua IN A ptNlTENIIARY.
Three Desperadoes Tried to Escape
Defied Offcials-One Fatally
Shot, During Surrender.

Frankfort, KY, Aug 21.-A riot &C.
Cured in the state penitentiary yes,
tcrday, started by an attempt on the
part OF three desperate murdeTers,
Lafayette, Brooks. of Morgan county,
and Wallace Bishop and 7. Mulligan,
of Kcnton county, to escape.
Before the riOi, which began at 3
o clock and lasIeu until after 10, was
0uelled and the mutinous conVicts
were captured, Bishop being fatally
wounded, Mulligan shot in the shout
der, and a negro convict, Alfred Ran
som, of Louisville, whom the despera
Dies had pressed into service, was hit
by rifle bal the latter being wound
ed by one OF two men, who fired from
the roof OF a residence.
The rioting started while Brooks,
Mulligan and Bishop, one OF whom
had a pistol concealed about his per-
sen, were coming out of the dining
loom to answer a hospital call. Sud
denly one of the convicts drew a
weapon and compelled Guard A. II.
Gill to give up his arms. Guard F. F.
Hurst, who rushed to ellis assistance,
was also captured by the convicts.
Captain Mat Madigan, acting warden,
then rushed forward with six guards
and fired on the bunch, but no one
was wounded. The convicts then ran
across the yard and at the entrance
to the reed department of the chair
factory captured Charles Willis, of
Clark county, a foreman. They COW
cred him with their pistols, and,
placing him between them and the
guards, reiterated to the rocker de-
partment in the chair factory, from
whence they could command a good
view of the entire yard. At window
they stationed Willis, and Brooks
with a revolver in his hand, took a
position just beside the captive, rest
ing the muzzle of the weapon on the
fcreman's side. The convicts then de-
fed Warden Lillard to attempt to cap
ture them. shouting that they would
kill the foreman at the first move
made against them.
The men made two proposals to
surrender. A third one was accepted,
and while being proceeding, Bishop
acted as if he was going to shoot
when one of the warden's men shot
Bishop. The two others begged for
mercy and were allowed to surrender.

to the woeful want of it. She has be-

most valuable and among the larger
Butler county holdings to pass into
the har DIS of the Standard and that
Mr.. Lockwood Consented to dis

some surprise. 1t Is stated that

News of interest Is indeed be-
coming scarce and of little impor-
lance when the same wells have to
be reported IS to 20 times In as
many days In the syndicate oil
news compiled by D. S. w. for the
Plttsburg and OH City papers.
The Standard seems to be at It's
same old game of purchasing prop
erty connected with the indepen-
dent lines. but the wonder Is that
officers and directors In the indie
pendent companies will continue
to sell their holdings to the monop.
oily that would ruin them.
There Is more good sound busi-
sense exhibited by the producers
of the northern Allegany, N. Y.
fields In their efforts to secure for
themselves "prices justified In the
markets In the world" than in the
moves of all the rest of the produc-
Ing fraternity put together. Up In
that locality the producers propose
to share some of the profits of the
oil refining industry by taking a
hand at the business, being backed
by their own production and pipe
lines.
If no better prices are to come as
may be inferred from the utter
ances of the Standards Oil City
mouthpiece In Its references to
"foreign competition" then 1t is
quite within the bounds of reason
to look for a decrease In drilling
operations. Much drilling has been
done on the hope and expectation
that better prices would prevail but

be believed that hope and expecta-
ton have gone gllmmering. By
reason of the alleged foreign COM

able the Standard OH company
cannot pay better prices for oil
except at the sacrifice of their divi-
dends-and yet 1t Is only short

their government tor aid.
