CALIFORNIA PRISON BREAKING,
Twelve of the Thlrtssn Escaped oon-
 yiet. slill as Large.

Placeryille. Cal, July 2S.-of the thir- teen cenvicts who escaped from the state penitentiary at Folsom yesterday twelve are still at large. Joe Murphy, who was serving fourteen years sen tence, for robbery, was shot dead last night at Pilot Hill. s. M Gordon, the reported leader of the gang, who had been sentenced to forty-hve years, for robbery, deserted his followers soon af- ter they left the prison. He was heav- fly armed and it is not known in which direction he sought safety. 4 negro convict named Seavis, who was report ed wounded in the first encounter with the officers, appears not to have been injured. The eleven outlaws who re- main together are making for the
 Sierra Nevada mountains. They are closely nursued by the sheriffs of Sac ramento. Eldorado and Placer counties,
 each backed by numerous deputies and
 assisted by company of militia.
 About twenty guards from the Folsom
 prison are also engaged in the chase
 and it is believed that the fugitives will
 be surrounded. A desperate battle is anticipated as all are heavily armed. The work of the pursuing posses has
 been. rendered less difficult than was anticipated by the unexpected action of the convicts. who to-day released all
 of the free men they held as hostages. It is thought that this course was
 prompted by lack of ammunition. The
 eleven are now believed to be near
 Placerville in Eldorado county, in a rough county and not far from the mountains which they evidently hope l to make their refuge.
 1 The fight at Pilot Hill last night be- | tween the convicts and their pursuers
 seems to have been more serious af- flair than at first reported. After they had footed a provision store at Pilot
 Hill, they were practically surrounded ! by the sheriffs of Sacramento and Pla-
 eer counties, each commanding a strong ! posse. All four horses on the convicts l wagon were shot and one of the crim- inals was killed outright. Then the outlaws raised white flag and march Fed up the road with the guards and others whom they had captured on eacf
 side of them. A general volley was moi orered, as it might have killed severas linnocent men. In this deliberate man. liner the second escape was made.
 I Pursuing officers have been instructed to shoot the convicts, on sight and theil
 death or capture in the near future i' I expected.
 l Sacramento, Cal, July 2s.The coro ner's jury in the case of w. E. Cottel 1|rendered a verdict of murder agains
 all of the convicts who escaped. Int inquest was held at Folsom prison.

LARNED RESTS WARD.
Wins Finais in Cup singles at Long-
 wood.

Boston, July 2S.The tennis followers who went to Longwood to-day to see. the finals in the cup singles were given q rare treat in the five set match be- tween Larned and Ward, For the first three sets it was a hard and closely fought battle, and although there were no long rallies, the playing was re markable for the accuracy and clever headwork by both men. Up to the irl- remission Ward led two sets to one, but in the third set he was Wilting con- siderably and after a short rest, Larned came out and took the necessary two sets with comparative ease.
 Ward played a fast game at all times and repeatedly returned shots which to almost anyone else would have been impossible His cut was very effective and his quickness oil his feet gave him a grea. advantage over Larned, who was considerably slower. Ward lacked the strength, however, and finally suc- cumbed to Larneds s steady, brain work.
 The playing of the champion was al most beyond criticism At times 1t seemed as f;with more care he could
 have saved many points lost by driving into the net, but at other times his playing was so brilliant and accurate that he seemed iflvincibIe. He lobbed with great effect, and as usual played the side lines both on his cross drives and straight shots for many points. Ward took the first at 6-4, and if he
 could have kept up the pace he would undoubtedly have won out. As he weakened, however, Larned came up, and although Ward took the third at l9-7, Larned followed with two easy wins at 6-2, and 6-1. The win this afternoon
 gave Larned the right to challenge w, lJ. Clothier, the winner last year, foI possession of the cup. The match will be played tomorrow at 3 o'clock The result:
 Larned beat Ward, 4-6, s-s, 7-9. 6-2 t6-1.
