their guards for freedom, with

and let loose upon the city the 1,500
inmates of the institution. In the riot,
lasting half an hour, several attend
ants and a number of patients were
badly injured. Guard B. L. Kenni-
son of Gallia county was terribly beat
en- and bitten by the madmen and
will probably die. The battle sudden
ly began in cottage a." where 220 of
the most dangerous patients in the
institution are confined. When one
Of the three guards on duty in the
mems side of the ward was working
in the garden with some of the more
dependable patients, five Of these,
who are permitted no privileges, made
a rush at the two remaining guards.

and feet, for a time they threatened
to secure the keys to the big blsti-
tuition from the attendants and release
all the inmates. A relief party finally
thwarted the maniacs' plans.
