FIERCE BATTLE IN PRISON.
A Convict Makes Desperate Break fo'
IiIprty

Isaac l.. Gill, steward of the Sioux
Falls penitentiary, who "Wednesday
night was stabbed several times by
Robert Ames a convict, during deS-
perate effort OF the latter to make his
escape, is yet alive but is believed to
be fatally injured. At the best the
changes for his recovery are against
him.
The stabbing Of the steward was the
elimination of one sc the most des-
perate efforts ever made by a convict
to escape from the penitentiary, Ames,
who is serving a twenty-year term for
mansaughter committed in Lyman
county. had been working in the poni-
tentiary shirt factory, but on the pre-
text that one of his legs was paining
him he was permitted to return to his
cell. There he forged an order for a
broom, and with Steward Gill went to
the store room to secure it.
While Gill was STOPPING over, Amcs
suddenly drew small case knife from
its place of concealment about his
clothing and plunged it into the back
Of the steward He probably aimed
for the stewards heart, but missed lit
by about two inches or Gill would
have been instantly killed. Gill turned
just as Ames raised the knife for a
second blow. The first blow appar-
emily had turned the sharp point of
the knife, for the wound made by the
second blow was not as deep as the
first Before Gill could grapple with
the desperate convict he was stabbed
the third time, the knife blade enter
ing his chest. For q few minutes the
two men fought a thrilling battle, but
the loss of blood had weakened Gill to
such an extent that he was finally
OverpOwered.
The convict was painting on top of
him and gripping around for the knife
which had been dropped during the
fierce hand to hand fight. when Guard
Mcqueen appeared upon the scene and
rushed upon Ames just as the latter
was drawing a dangerous looking
billy" from his sleeve for the pur-
post of beating the remaining life out
of Gill.
Apes' purpose in attacking Mr.. Gill
was to secure the keys which the lat
ter carried and with them effect his
escape from the prison.
In the event that Gill dies Ames
will Immediately be arraigned on the
charge Of murder.
Last spring Ames made an attempt
to escape, but was recaptured.

GOVERNORS SIT DOWN.
President Would Conserve Nations
Resources.


President Roosevelt, in his speech
at Memphis. Tenn. Friday, announced
that he would call a convention to be
held i'm Washington Jan. next to ad-
yocate the preservation and conserva-
ton of the natural resources Of the
country, including coal, water power,
oil, etc.
The fact that such a call would be
issued was rumored Thursday on some
of the boats accompanying the Mis-
sissippi on her voyage down the river.
1t had been under consideration for
some time by the members of the in
land waterways commission, and the
of the body to the president at a
luncheon given him on the commits
sion's boat, Col Mackenzie. Sixteen
governors were taken into the commits
sion's confidence when that body went
aboard the governors boat after dim
ner
/ A meeting was organized on the
main deck, over which Gov. Folk pre-
sided. and it was soon made evident
that determined effort would be
made to secure an Endorsement Of the
project in advance of action by the
president. Statements in explanation
of the commissions plans were made
by several members of the commits
sion.
Responses were made by practically
all the governors present. and from
being at first approving in their ma
ture they developed into such opposi-
ton that resolution OF commendation
which had been offered by Gov. Cham
berlain was withdrawn by him after
two hours of discussion. The general
opinion was opposed to any expression
of an opinion previous to the Memphis
convention which might be construed
into an effort to displace the deep wa
terways matter as the question Of
paramount importance.

The condition of the twenty men
injured is pitiable. Although alive,

metal was showered over them, caus-
ing horrible injuries. Arms, fingers
and ears were torn off, while num-
Der of the men lost eyes, burned out;
several men are in the hospital with
their legs burned to a crisp.
The explosion was caused by the

in the pot broke, allowing the liquid
iron to spill over the wet sand. An
explosion followed so quickly that
none of the workmen in the building
had a chance to escape. Streams of
the burning metal poured out on the
Iworkmen, some of whom were en-
quilted and literally cooked. Twenty
men near the cupola had every shred
of clothing blown off by the explo-
sion. Many were buried under the
wreckage and were not rescued until
an hour after the catastrophe.
Buildings In the city, from the force
of the explosion. shivered as If shaken

MORMONS ARE DRIVEN OUT.
American Missionaries Are Expelled
from Germany.

Three American. Mormons have been
expelled from Germany as the result
of persistng. despite warnings prohib-
iting the spreading of their propagan-
da, in conducting river baptisms and
making converts. They We're arrested
and summarily taken under guard to
the frontier.
The imperial authorities decided in
1903 that it was not desirable to allow
the Mormons' agents to continue activ-
ity in Germany. but owing to repre-
sentations Of the American embassy in
Berlin and Chief Missionary Cannon
whose field of activity is central Eu-
rope, with headquarters in Berlin, the
foreign office allowed Mormons u
month in which to settle their affairs
and leave the country. There were
at that time fifty Mormon missionaries
in the various German states and the
grounds for the expulsion were that
their teachings were contrary to pub
lie morality and social order. 1t was
also agreed with Cannon that all Nor
mons who are American citizens
should discontinue proselyting in Ger
many. German converts, of whom
there were several thousand, and who
continued to follow the new faith un-
der native pastors, were subjected to
various police hindrances. Cannon
moved the central European head
quarters to Switzerland and. it is un-
derstood, has since returned to Salt
Lake City. 1t is now presumed his sue
cessor Is re-entering the German field
for Mormon missionary work, from
which formerly many women con-
verts were sent to Utah.
