convicts were headed in that direction
to raid the place. All the men took to
arms and stood guard all night. Be
fore daybreak the posse reinforced the
town.
The fugitives realize the desperate
nature of their situation and are deter
mined that not one of their number
shall turn against and betray them.
They have taken an oath and bound
themselves to an agreement that the
first man that falters or attempts to
leave the main party shall be shot
down in his tracks without mercy.
The convicts are short of ammuni-
ton and are without supplies, having
lost them in the battle at Pilot Hill
Monday night. OF the thirteen con-
victs twelve are still at large. S. Nj.
Gordon, the reported leader of the
gang. who had been sentenced to 40

ers soon after they left the prison. He
was heavily armed and it is not known
in which direction he sought safety.
