OFFICERS TRY TO
QUELL CONVICTS
Continues from Page oas,

Leaving their dying comrade, the
convicts made dash for the rocky
hills, south OF the town. A party of
penitentiary guards followed in close
pursuit and before the bewildered
citizens had had time to form posse,
pursuers and fugitives had disap-
peared among the hills.
In a short time posses had been
formed and one of the most desperate
man hunts in the history of the west
was on. The convicts scattered into
small groups, all striving TO escape
in the almost impossible stretch OF
rocky country between here and the
Colorado line. Until nightfall a run.
ming battle was kept up and late last
night occasional volleys of shots In
the distance told of the progress or
the man-hunt.
Just before nightfall six convicts
were located in canyon about a
mile south of Rawlins Twenty
deputies, each armed with two re-
volvers and a repeating rife, were
sent to capture or kill them. The
deputies reached the spot and found
the convicts barricaded ready for bat
tie. Deciding that an attack in the
dark was too dangerous, the officers
surrounded the stronghold OF the
desperadoes to wait for daylight,
In the meantime a search OF the
town was made One convict was
found hiding in a caboose in the rail-
road wards. Citizens overpowered the
guards who were taking him, heavily
ironed, back TO the penitentiary. but
the arrival of more guards py/gented
a lynching. The man was hustled
into the prison. Some time later John
Childs captured another convict in
his cellar.
While most OF the penitentiary
who fed to the hills, the small body
left in the prison faced a still more
desperale situation. When the doors
of the cells were unlocked a large
number of convicts who did not join
in the break for liberty were set free
inside the walls. Many OF them were
armed. Soon a riot was in progress.
the guards battling desperately TO
save their own lives and prevent the
escape Of every convict in the institu-
ton. The gates remained locked, and
no definite word came out last night
regarding events within. Early re-
ports that several men were killed
had not been confirmed several hours
later.
Persons coming into town from the
south bring stories OF a reign of ter
ror In the country districts. Riders
have been sent to the ranches for a
radius of several miles warning tho
owners to be prepared to defend their
property. Several parties who went
south on horseback or in carriages re-
turned afoot, their horses having
been stolen by the convicts.
The escapes appear to be the re.
suit OF a general plot inside the
prison.
II Is not known how the prisoners
who made their break for liberty, yes
terday afternoon. got the guns with
which they were well-supplied when
they dashed from the gates. 1t is
possible, the local officers believe,
that they killed a number OF guards
after overpowering the cell house
keepers, and took their weapons. An.
other theory Is that the guns were
smuggled into the prison by friends
of the men who escaped, Saturday.

Colonel Makes Great Inroads
Into Taft's Strength of

CHICAGO, Oct. 14.-Wilson first,

the Chicago Record-Herald, which has
lust completed third canvass of the
voters on their choice for president.
The undecided vote remains silent,
etiIl ponderlng. still the unknown
ouantity that will determine the re-

not wanting that the "on-the-fence'

taking a definite position, but the top

of riders. This great, sphinx like
vote leads politicians to declaim with

opening OF the polls.
The most noticeable development or

fional political canvass conducted BY
the Record Herald reaching from
coast to coast, has been the strength

interesting Developments was the
strength Taft displayed among the
farmers.
In Ohio, Tafts home state, the presi-
dent increased his strength percepti-
bly,. In Iowa he gained somewhat;

as the uniformed officers ascended
the enclosed gangway. there was a
quick handshake and then Admiral
Osterhaus took position at the left OF
the secretary while the squadron
commanders began to appear in the
launches which had brought them
from their vessels. Meanwhile feet
tenders had run to the pier at the
foot OF West Seventy-ninth-st. and
were bringing to the Dolphin the
members of the house and senate

to participate with the secretary In
the initial review which preceded
the formal review and inspection by
the commanderin-chief, President
Taft.
Meanwhile down In the smother of
fog that masked the entrance TO the

brose channel lightship the president
was resting on board the convented
yacht Mayfiower. Tossing slowly at
the end of an augmented anchor
chain the presidents craft remained,
always In touch with the big Connecti-
cut by wireless, waiting the hour set
to sail up the river and take position
at the head OF the fleet.
At 9:10 Secretary Meyer and Ad-
miral Osterhaus entered the Con-
necticut's launch and visited the
Wyoming, the last OF the Omaha's
big gun fighting ship. When they
finished the secretary returned to the
Dolphin.
Immediately astern OF the Dolphin
