MAN HUNT ON
IN ILLINOIS
Everybody is Out Looking For the TWO
Escaped Convlcts From
Joliet,

CHICAGO, May 23.--With hundreds
of armed farmers and posses from the
state pententiary patrolling the fields
and the woods, southern VIII county
is practically under martial law.
Human game is being hunted.
George Connors, burglar, and R A,
Atkins, who, with four other convicts
escaped from the penitentiary in Jol-
let Saturday during heavy storm,
comprise the quarry The negatives
are known to be heavily armed. and
it is expected that when they are
found there will be battle to the
death.
Every farm house and village dwelling
is being visited by posses who hope
to find the aged farmer and his wife,
who, Bill" Butsch, one of the con.
victs recaptured Sunday, says, were
left bound and gagged in an isolated
place Thus far the house has not
been found by tn searchers.
Butsch will be taken in an automo-
bile, under heavy guard, over the route
he took in escaping, in the hope that
he may be able to point out the place.
The search for Connors and Atkins
shifted yesterday to the south end Of
Elwood township and extended to moth
ern Kankakee county The country
there is broken and hilly and densely
covered at intervals with woods and
bush
The guards are marching over the
country a short distance apart, and
hundreds of farmers have deserted
their work, and armed with weapons
running from hayforks to shotguns
are assisting in the hunt.
At the farmhouses the wives and
daughters are standing guard over the
family homesteads to prevent the arm
ed and desperate convicts from steal
ing horses and ransacking the place,
Atkins has not been seen since the
escape of the six prisoners. Connors
was seen once yesterday Just as day
was breaking a boy saw him crawling
through the thick woods adjoining a
COW pasture a mile south of Elwood
He notified his father and the two
gave chase. Half mile from their
home Connors began firing at his
pursuers. The farmer and his son

The sheriff was returning home from

Sheriff Crimmins hearing the re-

the car, alighted and asked Thompson
who claimed to have been way-laid by
highwayman, to take him to the
place where the hold-up occurred
Several men were standing On the
corner OF Fifth and B street and ap-
preaching these, Mr. Crimmins asked
which one of them had taken Thomp-
sons money. All denied and several
said, did that - say we got
his money!"
The sheriff told Thompson to so
home and when the man reached his
boarding house nearby and had mount
ed the stairs on the outside, he heap
ed abuse on Sheriff Crimmins' head
by calling him vile and indecent
names.
This morning Crimmins went to the
boarding place of Thompson to find
out more about the matter and learn
who and what the man was. Thomp.
son again became abusive and would
have fought had not the sturdy arm
OF the sheriff put a quietus on his
