Under Sheriff Harry Rutter was On

billiard came to get the dishes out
OF the cell and when he opened the
door one OF the prisoners grabbed him
and another one made at Rutter.
In a short time they had both Rut'
ter and billiard overpowered and then
one OF them ran out into the kitchen
and grabbed a Winchester. and laid
in wait for Jack Williams, one Of the
guards. who had been up town and
was returning. -"
When he came in at the door he
was shot, the ball entering his bach
and coming out in the left side. The
ball passed through his right lung
and there is no hope Of his recovery
Jailer billiard was badly heater
about the head and face, but 1t Is mo-
thought he Is badly hurt.
Rutter was also badly beaten ovcl
the head. but is not badly hurt.
A few minutes after the prisoner
made their escape a large posse start
ed in pursuit. They found where tn
prisoners went into Milk river an
found Hardee's shoes and hat and an
other coat and hat, supposed to belonI
to someone OF the prisoners.
An hour later three men were seel
by q ranch hand. They came up tn
river bank, but saw they were obser,
ed and quickly disappeared In tn
