break for liberty at the b. eakfast hour.

Fierce Fight in the Captains Office.
The break occurred about a. m.
The convicts made Immediately for the
Office of the captain of the guard, r.
]. Murphy. There they seizei Warden
Wilkinson, his grandson, Harry Wilkin-
son, Captain Murphy, and several 9TH
er officers and guards. A desperate
fight took place. The conviets were
armed with knives and razors, ana
with these they assaulted Warden
Wilkinson and his officers. The war
den's clothing was slashed into shreds
with razors, but the blades did not
touch the flesh. Turnkey Cochrane
fought the convicts with a chair, rain
ing blows upon them right and left.
Finally he was felled by knife thrust
in the back. Guard Cotter was cut
in the abdomen so that his entrails
protrUded, while Palmers was severe
ly cut in the head. Tie floor Of the
Office was covered with blood.

The officers were relieved of their
arms. Then using the officers as a
shield the convicts started for the
armory post on the o-tskirts of the
penitentiary grounds. They passed
Gatling gun on one OF the walls. but
the guards were afraid to fire on the
convicts for fear of hitting the Off
GERS. When the armory post was
reached the officers there attempted to
interfere, but We're quickly overpow
cred. Then after further fortifying
themselves with rifles, knives, pistols
and ammunition dash for the coun-
try was made.

NEW RING is ORDERED
Celebrated "Fisherman's Ring"
Worn by Popes, Has Not
Yet Been Found.
THREAT OF A FOREIGN PoET1FF
Factions of Cardinals Do Not Har-
monize Yet-Requiem Mass
for Leo XIII.

Rome, july 29.-The Tribuna says
that as the "Fisherman's ring" which
could not be found after the death of
the pope, may be discovered In some
drawer which was sealed up and can
rot be opened until after the election
of the new pope, the camerlengo, Car
dinal Oreglia, has ordered new one
for use in the symbolic ceremony which
occurs Immediately after the successor
to Leo XIII is chosen. 1t is officially
announced that Al addition to the will
Of the late pope, and separate from it,
Leo XIII left trifiing present to each
Of long list of relatives, members
of the papal household, p,elates, doc
tors, cardinals. etc. AS many formal
tiles have to be observed it probably
will be some time before the gifts are
delivered.
Talk of Foreign Pope.
That there is a conviction at the
Vatican that the conclave will be of
short duration is proved by the fact
that all those who are to enter the
conclaye to minister to the wants of
the cardinals have been engaged for
only three days. The two camps into
which the sacred college is divided ap-
pear to be becoming daily more ire
concilable, and it is said that the anti
Rampolla faction has declared that if
necessary to defeat the opposition it
will even go to the length of support
ing foreign cardinal. The name of
Cardinal kopp, bishop of Breslau, was
mentioned in this connection, but was
hardly considered seriously, owing to
the belief that under present condi-
tiOns the elevation of q Ge man to
the papacy might mean the irrepara-
bic loss of France to the holy see.
Requiem Mass Celebrated.
Outside of short meeting of the
congregation, at which some routine
conclave business was transacted, the
feature of interest at I:ome was the
requiem was for the repose of the
pope's soul. which was the first of
three ceremonies which when COM
pleted will end the fune al obsqujes
of Leo XIII. The mass was said in
the Sistine chapel, in which a mag
nificent catafalque had been erected.
The feature of the service was the
singing of the "Dies Irae" and the
'Sanctus" by the Sistine choir. Ev-
cry one present sat spellbound as the
music swelled through the chapel. All
the cardinals at Rome attended, with
fifty conclavists, the diplomatic corps,
Roman nobility and otherdistinguished
people.

The work Of the pursuing posses has
been rendered less difficult than was
anticipated by the unexpected action
of the convicts. who have released all
of the free men they held as hostages.
1t Is thought that this course was
prompted by lack of food and ammuni-

be near Placerville, in Eldorad0 coun-
ty, in a rough country and not far
from the mountains which they eyi-

The hostages had a most remarka-
bic escape. Three of them have bull
let scratches and abrasions The cor
victs debated as to whether to kill
their hostages or turn them loose.
There was a difference Of opinion
among them as to what was best to
do, but they finally decided to let their
captives go unharmed. About 100
shots were exchanged in the battle at

How It Went.

The municipal election held in Toledo
Tuesday WAS very smooth and quiet
affair. the only interest being in the
marshalship. This was triangular
contest, with Curtis M. Brown, George
Chambers and AL Hall, the incumbent,
as principals. The latter won easily,
the majority Of the voters evidently
considering his opponents too strong
for the important position.
H. w. Vincent was elected Mayor, G
L. Gray Treasurer, and ]. r. Turnidge,
Ralph Van Cleve and r. A, Arnold
Councilmen.
The result is generally regarded as a
strong endorsement of President Roose.
velt and an emphatic expression Of dis
approval of the policy of Secretary
Hitchcock.
So mote it be.
