prisoners escaped, so far as known.
Owing to the low water pressure the
fire department OF the fort was almost
useless. The fire was fought by the

In the carpenter shop and soon it was
seen that the main building was
doomed. A great cutlery at once
broke out in the prison, the convicts
fearing they would be burned to death.
They battered on the doors of their
cellhouses as the light of the fire
streamed in through the windows.
Many screamed in terror as the author
tiles for the moment refused to remove
them.
Soon. however. several companies Of
soldiers. including cayalrymen. were
under arms. A strong Gordon Of troops
was thrown about the prison, and
every precaution taken TO prevent es-
capes. All the soldiers that could be
spared from the ranks OF fire fighters
were detailed as guards and then the
delivery Of the prisoners began.
When the bolts Of the dollhouse
doors were shot back. the flames had
reached the main building. Soldiers
with leveled weapons greeted the con.
victs as they were marched out. They
had been previously warned that the
slightest belligerent move would
mean death.

Monday where they will perform
an operation on him for Internal

from the Governor to the assis-
tant clerks in some of the state
Offices cost money .
The tax commissioner bill,
which passed the house, is now in
the senate and will be reported
out of committee this week. 1t
is understood there will be a hard
fight made against it in the SEN
ate, and its fate is not clearly out
lined, although great pressure is
being brought to pass it.
The sanitary livestock bill al
most died a-bornin' and will not
be heard of again this session, 1t
was a scheme to consolidate the
cattle and sheep boards pnder the
control of the state veterinarian,
and did not meet the approval of
a half-dozen members. On the
other hand, a bill to greatly
strengthen the sheep board will
pass. 1t also provides the neces-
sary power for the board to en-
force dipping for ticks-some-
thing that has act been enforced
BY the board because of the lack
of authority.
1t looks now as though most of
the important bills would be de.
cided by the end of the week,
leaving the last week of the ses-
sion for the consideration of ap-
preparation oills-when some
warm debate may be expected.
