penitentiary was dangerously wound.
ed yesterday morning and his first as
Sisrant warden, John Robinson, was
killed. when three life convicts,
George Rock, w. H. Hayes and an.
other whose name is not given, made
a dash for liberty. Robinson's throat
was cut from ear to ear and the jugu-
lar vein was severed. Conley's throat
was gashed and he was stabbed sew
eral times in the shoulder and groin
before he was able to draw his re-
volver and shoot Convicts Hayes and
Rock. 1t is believed that the warden

Attack Long Planned.
The attack on the prison authorities
and the attempted escape, according
10 the prison authorities, had been
long planned by Rock and Hayes, who
were cellmates. Both were armed
with ~penkniyes. the blades of which
were sharpened like razors
The three convicts were brought
to the office Of the ~penitentiary by
Depuy Warden Robinson to be tried
for some trivial %infraction of the rules
and Conley was waiting to sit in judg-
ment. The moment the men entered
the office door Rock turned swiftly
upon Robinson. who was closing the
door behind the men, and quickly
drawing a knife he began slashing at
the deputy warden's throat.
Deputy is Killed.
His throat was cut wide open and
he sank to the floor, dying. At the
same moment Hayes drew a knife and
started for Conley. The latter re,
treated to the rear Of the office, but
before he could draw his gun Hayes
had slaShed his throat, cutting him
from the left ear to a point under the
chin. The convict, seeing his intend.
ed victim getting way, grappled with
him and stabbed him several times in
the shoulder and the groin. Although
bleeding terribly Conley managed to
draw his gun and fired four times
with the weapon pressed against Ry,
ans abdomen.
Second Convict Goes Down.
AS Hayes sank to the floor Rock
rushed at Conley. who emptied the re,
naming cartridges into Rock, and the
latter also went down. The third con
vict who had been called into the of,
fee took to his heels at the first of
the battle, but was quickly captured
and Placed in his cell. The authori,
ties refused to give out his name until
hey have investigated whether he
was concerned in the plot. How Con,
victs Hayes and Rocks secured pos,
session of the knives is a mystery. II
IS believed that the i~nfraction of the
rules had been planned in order to
reach the w~ar1en's Office, where the
convicts would have more chance in
making a dash for liberty.
Rock was shot twice through the
lungs and Hayes three times through
the abdomen. Both are badly wound,
ed, but it is believed they will recover.

ROOT RIVER IS ON
Wild RAMPAGE
Districts Around La Crosse Are
Inundated by Sudden Ris-
ing of Streams.
1000 HOMELESS IN INDIANA

La Crosse, Wis. March 10.-Swoll
en- by the heavy rains of the last few
days, all the streams tributary TO the
Mississippi river in this vicinity have
risen and are inundating the territory
for miles around. The presence OF the
frost In the ground prevents the wa
tiers soaking in, and as the rivers are
unable to contain the immense vol
ume within their banks the country is
being covered.
Much damage already has been
done, and the continued rising of the
water is driving the farmers back
from the lowlands. On the Minnesota
side, particularly along the Root river,
there is great alarm, and stock is be-
ing driven to the higher country for
safety.
Houses and Barns Surrounded.
Houses and barns are surrounded
by water, and if the current continues
to increase with the volume of the
food there is every prospect that
some Of the buildings will be swept
away entirely.
About Houston the greatest peril
attends the travel on country roads,
and the rural mail marriers may be
Obliged to abandon their routes en-
tirely. The streets of Houston are
flooded and serious loss is being sus-
tanned by the residents in the lower
portions of the city.
Under the immense amount Of wa
ter flowing into it from the tributaries
the Mississippi itself is rising rapidly,
and unless the increase from both
sides is checked it is feared that some
disastrous floods will be experienced
at points below here.
Five Lives Lost.
Chicago. March 10. - Five lives
have been lost and immense damage
done to property as a result of seri-
Gus floods which have risen in the
Ohio and it's tributaries and in South
ern Michigan and Northern Indiana.
EIkhart Has 1000 Homeless.
The greatest property damage re-
| ported thus far has been done at Elk
hart, Ind; where 400 houses already
! are surrounded by the greatest flood
in the history of that city. The Elk
hart and st. Joseph rivers converge
at that point, and both are overflow
ing their banks and the water contin-
| ues to rise. All of the 400 homes af-
fected are in from n to five feet of
| water, and it is estimated that no less
than 1000 persons are without a place
to sleep.

Goods Are Seized.

Chicago, Oct. Supposed Chicago

In the smuggling Of valuable corals.
canoes, silks. laces. statuary and other
valuable articles into the United
States from Italy were sought Tues
day by federal officers following the
discovery that New. York. Is the CEN
ter OF the smuggling syndicate. Ac-
cording to revelations made to secret
service agents the smugglers worked
throughout the United States. making
New York and Detroit the principal
scenes of their operations. 1t Is be-
ieved that Chicago was used largely
as distributing point and that when
the details Of the conspiracy are un-
earthed several of the leaders In the
smugglers' band will be found here.
A large amount Of the struggled
goods is reported to have been sold
and stored in Chicago and the pur-
chasers as we'll as the sellers of the
contraband articles are being sought
and are in danger of prosecution. Up
to date the sercret service agents have
worked without consulting any one ex-
cept United States Collector of Gus

give out any information about the
progress or the result Of the inquiry.
Several factories manufacturing
ornaments In Italy it was discovered
have been furnishing goods to the
smugglers who have made profits eK-
tending into many thousands Of dol
lars.
The goods seized in New York are
valued at more than $4,000 and those
traced to Chicago alone are estimated
to be worth about $4,000. 1t was ex-
planned by the Chicago government
agents that to give out information
at this time might act as warning to
the smugglers and enable them more
readily to destroy the proof against
themselves
The first seizure from the italians
was made in New York city on July
81 on the steamer Martha Washington.
According to dispatches August L.

Hubbard, Western Elsmereland. This
point Is about 500 miles from the pole
