BIG MILITARY PRISON BURNS.
900 Of the Army's Convicts Rescued
at Fort Leavenworth.

The military prison at Fort Leaven-
worth. Kan, was partially destroyed
by fire at midnight Wednesday night.
The 800 prisoners all were taken from
the main building as soon as the fire
reached it and none was injured.
The convicts were confined in a
stckade under the guard of United
States troops. None of them. so far
as is known. succeeded in gaining his
liberty during the transfer to the
stockade. At . o'clock ONE of the cell
houses had cooled sufficiently TO allow
half OF the prisoners to return. The
others will be taken to the Federal
prison. two miles away. at daylight.
Two Of the Federal soldiers who were
fighting the fire were injured. The
property loss on the building is esti-
mated at 100000.
The fire was first discovered at 10
o'clock in the tailor shop. 1t o
spread to the shoe shop and the black
smith establishment. Lack of water
pressure prevented all hope of saving
even the main building, and 1t was de-
cided to move the inmates. Long before
this, however, the convicts had seen the
flames and, fearing they would be
burned to death, they battered on the
bars Of their cells and screamed in
terror.
As soon as several companies Of sol
dlers. including cavalrymen, had gotten
under arms, a strong Gordon was
thrown about the prison and the deliv-
cry of the prisoners began. The sick
were removed first, placed in ambu-
lances, and taken to the Fort Leaven.
worth hospital under guard of cavalry
The records were removed from the
administration building. II everything
\ had not been done In perfect order lives
doubtless would have been lost. As II
was, strict military discipline prevailed
