CONVICT, TRYING
TO ESCAPE, STABS
STEWARD a TIMES
Robert Ames, Serving Time in
Sioux Falls Pen, Makes
Murderous Assault.

Sioux Falls. S. D.. Oct. 5.-Attcmpt-
ing to escape from the "penitentlary
late yesterday, Robert Ames, serving
| twenty years FOR manslaughter, made
a murderous asault upon |. l. Gil. the
steward. and a guard who came TO ms
rescue. Gill was stabbed four times.
He Will probably die.
This is Ames' NTH attempt TO escape
from the pen in five years. Two months
ago he was shot at three times before
: stopped by the guards. He is now be-
ing held in close confinement, awaiting
the outcor.e OF Gill's wounds.
For the past two years Ames has
been in charge of the shirt factory In
the pen. previous to that having acted
as cook. Yesterday he made an excuse
to go to his cell. and forged an order
on the steward for a broom. Going TO
the stock room, which is on the lower
floor, and easy OF access from the out
side. he bounced upon Gin and sunk
an improvised dagger, which he had
made out Of a carving knife by grind
ing ii down on his cell floor. into his
shoulder. In the fight that followed he
stabbed Gill twice in the back, just be-
low the shoulder, and once in the
breast.
Guard Saves Gill.
The steward was knocked TO the 1oor
and, with almost superhuman strength,
Ames succeeded in getting on top.
Now. I'll kin you" he shrieked as he
raised the dagger ready to strike.
+. j. Edwards. the bookkeeper, in the
meantime, hearing the noise, called "A
guard and the latter. just as Ames
VAS ready To deal "A death blow to the
steward. Knocked the dagger from his
hands.
