Memories of the eventful days when
Charles AuA was warden of Folsom
prison, California, have been recalled
by the recent escape of thirteen con-
victs from that institution. Aull was
one Of the most picturesque characters
developed in the rough and ready life
in California in the years following the
gold discoveries. He was the man who
planned and perfected the unique
guarding of the Folsom prisoners, and
it was his proud boast that in the
twenty-five years he was warden not a
man escaped.
When Aull took charge of Folsom he
found huge pile of buildings standing
in a rocky amphitheater close to the
American river. The prison grounds
covered 1876 acres, mostly filed with
quarries Of the finest limestone.
1t had been planned to build walls
around the prison, but Aull advised
against this. He argued that wall
would be useless, as the convicts would
have to go outside to get to the quar-
ries. The prison was left as it was
built. but Aull took steps to keep the
convtcts from escaping. He built ten
towers at different points in the prison
grounds and in them placed Calling
guns. The guns swept every part of
the grounds and also q quarter of a
mile of territory surrounding the prison
reservation.
The towers were built by convicts.
Aull placed double guards over differ
ent bodies Of the prisoners while they
built the foundations of solid stone and
the superstructure Of wood and iron.
He made the convicts raise the Cat
ling guns to their platform in the little
galleries Of the towers, and every de-
tail Of the work of defense, or, rather,
offense. he let the prisoners become ac-
Quainted with. Aull said there was
nothing to conceal. He wanted the
mem to know that extraordinary pre-
cautions had been taken to keep them
under control, and he was interested
in having the convicts carry the boxes
of ammunition from wagons into the
towers. Every prisoner that arrived IN

some exciting experiences during tho
journey.
Near Crazy mountains, Montana, they
were riding along the trail about dusk
when, rounding bend In the road
they almost ran into bear and her
cub, which were crossing the trail.s
Frasltcr's wheel almost struck the cub,
which emitted squeal of fright as IL
half tumbled out Of the way. The old
bear was slightly In advance of the
cub and had not heard the silently ap-
preaching men.
When the cub squealed she whirleds
around, with roar, and made for the
wheelmen The COW punchers declare
that their hair stood on end with fright,
and they pedalcd with all their
strength. Fortunately for them the
trail they were on was down grade,
and they managed to get several feet
the start of the old bear. Caughmans
was in the lead, and Fraslier's front
tire was close to his rear one. The old
bear was coming with a rush and
straining every muscle, as they were.
They could hear her terrible growing
and the quick padpad of her feet on
the ground us she came on. Frasller
had revolver in his pocket, but he

There was no use Of trying to dismount
and make fight, for the grizzly was
too close and apparently gaining at
every jump. Their only hope was to
pedal with all their strength.
They said they thought their eyes
would pop from their heads and their
skulls burst open with the tremendous
pressure of blood. Their knee sockets
panied, and the strain on their arms
was almost unbearable.
Although they were going at fright
! full speed, they said their feet seemed
made of lead, but that terrible red

spurred them on. Ahead they could see
that thes trail took greater dip, and
their one desire was to reach that point,
and maybe the greater incline would
give them sufficient speed to get away
from the ferocious beast. Caughman
declares they were practically all in
when the dip was reached, and they
shot over on the greater incline with 9
last effort.
Their machines fairly bounded

not use its claws on him. The two fell
to the ground, and in the process Of
rolling over and over Sercoff managed
to get his body between the lions hind
legs so that they could not do much
damage. Then he began to tear the
animals throat with his teeth and
finally reached the jugular vein. In the
end he killed it, escaping with nothing
worse than few painful scratches.
The skin measured eight feet from tip
to tip.

ran across the den of mountain lion.
He went in to see If there were any

mother lion returned and attacked him
from behind. The catamount miscal-
culated its first leap and overshot the
mark, allowing Sercoff to turn about
and face It.
Then came most thrilling encoun-

JOHN BLANK,
Shot While Trying to Escape on
July 80 1901.

In one corner Of the graveyard Aull
would stop and point to seven graves.
They were dug after clever attempt
to escape about ten years ago. Forty
men were in the plot, and nearly adj Of
those not killed were wounded.
While working side by side in the
quarries George Fredericks and George
Sontag plotted the escape. Sontag was
serving sentence for train robbing,
and Fredericks was held for horse
stealing. They discovered that mar
row gully near the quarry was not
swept by the Cuttings and that it Of
fered chance for escape. Fredericks
was released soon after this discovery.
A few days after he reached Sacra-
mento, twenty miles from the prison,
he bought forty. rifles and large guam
hty Of ammunition. He loaded the lot
into covered wagon, and in the dead
Of night he left the city. He came with
in few miles Of the prison before day
break and hid In thick wood during
the day. Before midnight he had hid
den the rifles and cartridges at the spot
In the gully that he and Sontag had
agreed upon.
Next day the attempt to escape was
made. At midday as forty conyicts
were marching past the gully to dinner
they suddenly broke ranks and seized
the few guards marching beside them.
In few moments they were hidden In
the gully, out Of reach Of the Gatlings
which had begun to pop the moment
they overpowered the guards. Armed
with the rifles left by Fredericks, the
convicts were preparing to fight their
way out Of the gully when a small door
opened in the side Of an icehouse at the
head Of the gully. None Of the convicts

SonViet's ESCAPE

with hearty handshake and a smile.
"Now, my man." he would say. "there
is no bread and water here. You will
get good food and plenty Of it, and II
you Don't try to run off and are good
natured you will get the best of treat
ment We are easy on the boys here
as long as they behave themselves.

those towers. The convtcts you will

to keep you here, and suppose you
think it is your duty to get away. l
don't want You to escape, but If you do
I'll be obliged to you. II you beat our
game it will show weak spot we have
overlooked"
AS he came near the end of his lee
ture Aull would signal with his hand
for the convict to follow him, and,
chatting continually, he would lead
him Though the graveyard In an ap-
parently casual way Au1l would call
attention to the white boards standing
in close order at the tops of grass COW
cred graves. On nearly all Of them the
inscription was alike, except for the
names. The general form was:

gan to pour lead in stream out Of the
opening. The eonvicts were panic
stricken. They threw down their rifles
and knelt on the ground and shouted
for mercy. The Calling was worked
for thirty seconds. When the firing
ceased only few Of the men were deft
unhurt.
The seven dead men were carried to
the prison and were laid naked In a
row on long deal table. One man had
been struck by fifteen bullets. When
the light had been subdued to make the
wounds show more clearly against the
white skin the convfcts were filed slow
~ past the table. About 1900 men
were in the prison, and the procession
was kept up until the last one had
passed the bodies.
Aull had an original method in mark
ing men who had tried and failed to es-
cape. He clothed them in red shirts,
and his guards were instructed to shoot
for these shirts IL any effort was made
to break away. Not until every man
wearing a red shirt had been shot down
in fleeing group were the guards to
fire on the other convicts.
He made the discipline so exact that
it was impossible for man to escape.
In the last few years Of his service at
tempts to gain freedom grew less and
less. Finally the prisoners gave it up
as bad job. They decided 1t was bet
ter to work out their sentences or to
hope for reprieve in the case of life
sentence than to fee! the bite Of the
frowning Cuttings.
