Leavenworth, Kas. April 21.-Five
train robbers, serving life sentence,
escaped from the federal prison here
early today. Within a short time two
of the men were recaptured AT IL
o'clock tho three others were sur
rounded in the brush within a short

A Union Pacific switch engine had
backed Into the prison yard At the
sound of the whistle, the men dash

the engine Devolling dummy guns at
the engineer. The men climbed into
the cab aud compelled him TO reverse
his engine.
The engine. with the convicts
aboard, rushed through the west gate
Into the open country and soon was
speeding toward the woods.
When tho escape became known a
few moments later the siren whistle
at the prison was sounded as warn
ing to farmers to bo on the lookout
The whistle may be heard for miles

At the time, heavy guards were

Birmingham, La. April 21.-Not one
OF the forty-one men imprisoned last
night In Mulga mine of the Birming-

This word was brought to the bur

When rendered unconscious from
the deadly gases of the shaft, Super

man named Bonds, who risked his

up to fresh air.
The condition OF the rescuers told
the story long before the men had
been revived The Watchers believ-
cd that If tho Tescuefs, holmeted and
protected had so narrowly escaped
death. there was no hope for the work
ers who. without warnlng had been
entombed by an explosion of gas.
When Johns and Bonds finally re-
gained consciousness.' they confirmed
tho gravest anticipations OF the peo-
pie who for hours had waited at the

The only list of the names of tho
miners at work at the time OF the eX'

there are about fifteen white men and
twenty TO twenty-five negroes.
The mine has been in operation
about two years.
The shaft is $50 feet deep and the
fact that flames shot to i height OF
100 feet leads to the belief that the
explosion occurred near the bottom
OF the main shaft.
