than 20 deputy sheriffs, railroad de-

is now believed that they escaped in
a boat, rowing to Seattle where they
are now hiding, though no tangible
clew has yet been found. Sheriff
Smith believes that seven men were
in the holdup. superintendent Scott
Of the Great Northern says that only
1926 was secured by the bandits. No

DR.. Y. C. BLAL0Ck REMOVED
AS PRISON PHYSICIAN
Resignation Demanded By Warden KEGS This Morning Ply
sician Refused to File il, When He Was Sunmariy
Dismissed-Dr J. C. Mack Is Successor

Refusing to tender his resignation
when requested to do SO this morning
Warden KEGS summarily dismissed
DR.. Yancy c. Blalock as physician at
the state penitentiary. This is the
outcome of the dispute that has
arisen over the person on whose shoul-
ders should rest the responsibility of
the recent typhoid epidemic at the
prison. 1t has been known for some
time by a few that the relations be-
tween Warden KEGS and Dr. Blalock
were considerably strained and it had
been predicted that an open rupture
would follow in short time. 1t
came this morning and as result DR..
BIalock will no longer look after the
sick prisoners at the prison. DR.. j.
c. Mack has been appointed by Ward
en- KEGS to fill the vacancy.
When DR.. Blalock went to the peni-
tertiary this morning to perform mis-
regular duties he was called into the
Warien's office. Warden KEGS then
Informed the physician that as
harmony between them had ceased to
exist his resignation as a physician of
the institution would be acceptable.
DR.. Blalock refused to tender his
resignation, when Warden Kees in
formed him that he could consider
himself removed. DR.. Blalock de-
manded that the dismissal be given
in writing. This the warden refused
to do, when the physician asserted that
he would demand pay as physician
until the written removal had been
placed in his hands. DR.. Blalock then
returned to Walla Walla and Warden
KEGS Immediately appointed DR.. J. c..
Mack as his successor.
Both Refused to Talk.
When asked for statement rela-
tive to mis- dismissal by a reporter of
the Evening Statesman this afternoon
DR.. Blalock refused to be interviewed,
stating that he had nothing to say.
Warden KEGS also refused to give out
any statement regarding the matter.
Following the story that was printed
in the Tacoma papers relative to the
typnoid epidemic, Warden KEGS and
in which the warden accused the pny-
sician of giving out an interview that
reflected on the warden. The incident
was passed over however, for that
day, but on Friday morning when
Governor Mead arrived in Walla Wal
la, Kees had prepared the following
statement which he mad asked DR..
Bla1ock to sign:
"Walla Walla, Washington, September
2s, 1905.
'I wish to state that the reported
statements published in the Tacoma

Blalock Refused to Sign.

When the document was presented
to Dr. Blalock he perused it care
fully and absolutely refused to at
tach his name to it. He however,
stated to Kees that he would pre-
pare a statement answering the arti-
Gle printed in the Tacoma News.
This, the warden said, was not suffi-
cient, and again demanded that Bla-
lock sign the statement ne had
prepared. He again refused and it is
reported that quite an animated dis
cussion followed between the two.
When DR.. Blalock concluded his du-
ties he returned to the city and at
once called on Governor Mead at
the Hotel Dacres, where, it is stated,
he presented his side Of the case to
the executive. Saturday Governor
Mead was the guest of Warden Kees
at his residence near the penitentiary,
at which time it is presumed he
was given the other side of the story.
1t is believed that at that time the
governor put it up to KEGS to do just
as he pleased in the premises and as
a result Blalock was given his dis

While DR.. Blalock was appointed

sition. DR.. J. c. Mack mad been s1at-
ed for the job by the politicians that
were in control of the central COM
mittee and he had been promised the
place. DR.. Blalock, however, wanted
the job, and he secured an endorse
ment of majority of the county CEN
tral committee. When the committee
met Blalock was On hand with his
strong endorsement, and as a result

looking after the patients. Fortunate
