MUTINY IN PRISON.
Thirteen COnvicts Escape from Cali.
fOrnia Fenitentiary - Battle in
Which Lives Are Lost.

Folsom, Cal, July 2S.-Thirteen con-
victs from the penitentiary here fought
a desperate battle Monday morning with
the prison officials, and after killing one
man and wounding two others, escaped.
They started away from here with Over
seer McDOnough and a number of others
as hostages and headed toward Bald
mountain. The latest reports are that
fight between the convicts and a posse
has taken place near Pilot Hill in which
Fred Howard was killed and A. Scabio
wounded. Both are convicts. The con-
victs are said to have scattered and
are making for the surrounding woods.
A company of militia from Placerville
is en- route to Pilot Hill and should now
be on the immediate scene of the fight.
Before the fight took place the con-
victs, who had picked up number of
citizens en- route and compelled them
to join their party, had plundered the
general merchandise store at Pilot Hill.

ing their escape Monday morning used

fire OF the Calling gun towers stationed
all about the prison grounds. The fugi-
tives threatened as they left that they
would kill a hostage for every man of
their number who was slain in efforts
to recapture them. Troops are still in
pursuit
Placerville, Cal, July 29.-Of the 13
eonVicts who escaped from th2 state pen
itentiary at Folsom Monday - are still
at large. Joe Murphy, who was serving
IA years sentence for robbery, was
shot dead Monday night at Pilot HILL
S. M. Gordon, the reported leader of the
gang, who had been sentenced to As years
for robbery, deserted his followers soon
after they left the prison. He was heav-
lily armed, and it is not known in which
direction he sought safety. The II out
laws who remain together are making
for the Sierra Nevada mountains
They are closely pursued by the sher-
ifs of Sacramento. Eldorado and Placer
counties, each backed by numerous dep
uties and assisted by a company of mill
tia. About 20 guards from the Folsom
prison are also engaged in the chase. 1t
is believed that the fugitives will soon be
surrounded, and a desperate battle is
anticipated. as all are heavily armed.
The work of the pursuing posses has
been rendered less difficult than was an
ticipated by the unexpected action of
the convicts, who on Tuesday released
all the free men they held as hostages.
1t is thought that this course was
prompted by lack of food and ammuni-
ton.

CONDITION OF THE CROPS
Weekly Summary Is Issued by the
Weather Bureau.
Rain Needed in Central and Southern
States-Corn Makes Good
Progress.

Washington, July 29.-The weather
bureaus weekly summary of crop con-
ditions is as follows:
The temperature during the week end
ed July q in the district east of the
Rocky mountains has been favorable,
except in New England, where it has
been too cool, but the need Of rain is be-
ing quite generally felt in the central
valleys and southern states. Destruc-
tive local storms occurred in Minnesota,
Missouri, and in the northern portion of
the middle Atlantic states. In Califor-
MIA the week was abnormally cool but
otherwise favorable.
Over the northern portion of the corn
belt the corn crop has made good prog
ress, and elsewhere fair advancement is
reported, but there is generaln need ofrain
in the central and southern portions of
the principal corn states. While no Sc
rious injury has yet resulted from
drought the crop is threatened in por-
tons of Kansas, Oklahoma and Missouri.
Some winter wheat remains to be har-
vested in the northern portion of the
middle Atlantic states and the lake re-
2ion. While light yields are generally
indicated the crop has been secured and
is being thrashed under exceptionally
favorable conditions, that in shock and
stack havin. wholly escaped injury
from moisture. which was quite wide
spread in the previous year
The condition of spring wheat con-
tinues unfavorable, especially over the
northern portion Of the spring wheat
region. An Improvement, however, in
the crop on fall plowed lands in north
ern Minnesota is reported. but the late
sown is poor and rust is prevalent in
southern Minnesota and South Dakota.
In North Dakota the heads are filling
fairly we'll, but a poor crop is Indicated,
and its condition in Nebraska is less ia
vorahle. Spring wheat is ripening rap
idly in the DaEotas In Montana and
Washington it is filling we'll.
Oats harvest has progressed rapidly
and favorably. In Illinois, Missouri
and Kansas yields are lighter than were
expected, but in Iowa the results are
more favorable. Rust is reported from
Wisconsin. southern Minnesota, South
Dakota and Pennsylvania.

STOCK BROKERS FAIL.
Assignment of Prominent Firms
Causes u Sensation in
Wall Street.

New York, July 25.-The announce
ment on the stock exchange late Friday
of the suspension OF the firms of Talbot
j. Taylor & Co. and OF w. l.. Strow &
Co. was the sequel to period of ex-
cited selling OF stocks and wide cuts in
prices, which has not been equaled be-
fore since the present movement to
liquidate set in. There is nothing in
either failure that can be traced to bust
ness or industrial conditions outside the
exchange, the case lying close to di-
agnosis of speculative collapse. Both
firms have been largely concerned in
speculative stock market pools, formed
for the purpose of taking on a line Of
stocks sustaining their price by sup
porting orders, real Or manipulative, and
seeking to realize profits by selling out
to outsiders at the high prices. Such
operations have suffered from increased
difficulties with the growth in the srrin-
gency of money, the so!icitude of bank
ers over loans employed in such projects,
and the jaded appetite OF the public for
securities.
No statement of Taylor & CO. assets
and liabilities has been made but from
the president OF leading national bank
it is learned that the liabilities may be
we'll into S6,o00,G00. Estimates of Stow
e. Co.'S liabilities range from 81 .250, 900
to $25O0.0oO
