Stanish said that when he left his

Of whom resembled a man he had seen

Courts Building during the day, fol-

seemed determined 10 keep him in

him, all peered into his face, as II they
wanted to study his every feature.
They left him at 10th street and Broad
way.
Later that night Stanish saw the four
men standing at 43d street and Broad
way. a few doors from his home. and
not many feet from the Hotel Metro
pole, where he saw Rosenthal shot to
death. He started along Broadway. and
the four men followed. Stanish re-
turned to his home and the men trailed

GUARDS IN TRAP
FIGHT CONNCTS
Continued from fret page.

try between here and the Colorado line
Until nightfall a running battle was
kept up, and late tonight occasional
volleys Of shots in the distance told Of
the progress Of the hunt.
Just before nightfall six convicts
were discovered in canyon about a
mile south of Rawlins. Twenty depu-
ties. each armed with two revolvers
and a repeating rife. were sent TO
capture or kill them. The deputies
reached the spot and found the con-
fcts barricaded. ready for battle.
Deciding that an attack In the dark
was too dangerous. the officers sur
rounded the stronghold OF the des-
perados. and will wait for daylight
before closing In.
IN the mean time a search OF the
town was made. One convict was
found hiding in a eeboose in the rail-
road yards. Citizens overpowered the
guards who were taking him, heavily
ironed. back TO the penitentiary, but
the arrival Of more guards prevented 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
guards were pursuing the convicts who
ned TO the hills, the small body left in
the prison faced a still more desperate
situation. When the doors OF the cells
were unlocked a large number OF con-
victs who did not join in the break for
liberty were set free inside the walls
Many OF them were armed
Soon riot was In progress, the
guards battling desperately TO save
their own lives and prevent the escape
Of every convict in the institution. The
gates remained locked, and no definite
word came out early tonight regarding
events within. Early reports that sew
ersl men were killed had not been con-
hrmed several hours later.
Persons coming into town from the
south bring stories of a reign OF terror
IN the country districts. Riders have
been sent to the ranches for a radius
OF several miles, warning the owners
to be prepared to defend their property.
Several parties who went south to-day
on horseback or in carriages returned
tonight afoot, their horses having been
stolen by the convicts.
Cheyenne. Wyo., Oct l3-An oficisl
statement OF the break from the prison
at Rawllns. where $50 convicts are con-
fined, was issued from the Governors
Office tonight. The statement, minimiz-
ing the danger OF the situation and vary
ing from the accounts sent from the
place OF the outbreak, says:
Eight convicts escaped from the Raw
Inns prison this afternoon. In a running
battle one convict was killed The con-
yicts rushed some citizens who carried
guns bound for trapshooting grounds,

MAINTENANCE or GOOD ROADS
Unless Kept We'll Drained and Free From Holes.

No earth road can be maintained in good condition unless it be so con structed as to drain well and unless it be kept free'from ruts and holes
 The best method of maintaining ar earth road. especially a prairie road. is by the systematic use of the road drag. A sand road is never good un. der any circumstances, but certainly is not improved by crowning. A sand road is at its best when moist, so it should be left flat. No one wants a sand road, so, if possible, clay should be added to, and mixed with the sand. making what is known as a sand clay road.
 The old way, and it is used today by many, of filling mud hole with brush with little earth on top, cannot be too strongly condemned, and is only permissible in cases of emergency when it is impossible to drain the hole or to get sand or stone to fill 1t. The overseer or foreman should in dry weather center his work on such places until the road is raised to a sufficient height to drain we'll Many overseers have brush hauled two miles to fill a mud hole, when sand is with. in shoveling distance Of it.
 If farmers do not take a community interest in the improvement of the roads and put their shoulders to the wheel we will surely remain stuck in the mud"

 In the days whap countertfeitegs used to gid 25-cent pieces and nick els and pass them off as gold coins, there was frequently considerable trouble over a genuine coin that "was not what it seemed" In the Indianapolis postal service recently there was a little extra work on ac- count of two gold pieces, which turned up with the appearance of silver coins. These had been taken in at the postofice from a resident of the city, who explained that his wife had been carrying the coins-a five and a ten dollar piece-in her purse together with small bottle of metal polish, which was principally mercury Th9 bottle had 1ocvii;..ss ]na9SQAen 4n !Ae puIse. 1lo eXN1alpesdi; and the gold cofn was thus ''plated. ; The money was accepted, bgt Eas turned back Qn. the fostoaice by a bank, which refused to credit the postofice with the money.

LIMIT ON TAX RECOVERY.
Attorney Generals Office Called Upon
to Give an Opinion.


Jacksonville attorney general has
been asked by the auditor OF public ae
eountants to decide the question as tc
how long taxes enormously paid may re.
main in the state, county or levee treas,
ury before the taxpayer is barred by the
statutes OF limitation, and how long the
purchase money of lands sold by the
state may remain in the state treasury
before the purchaser is barred by stat
utes OF limitations.
Assistant Attorney General Frank
Johnston, in giving an opinion on this inn
portant subject, decides that the claims
now under consideration come within,
and are governed by, the six years stat
ute Of limitations as provided in section
3097 Of the code, which is as follows:
"3O07 (2737) Actions to Be Brought
in Six Ncars-All actions for which no
other period of limitation is prescribed
shall be commenced within six years
next after the cause Of such action ac-
crued, and not after"
General Johnston covers the subject in
an exhaustive opinion pointing out the
sections OF the code dealing with such
eases and citing presidents to show that
the siX,year limit is the only proper
conclusion.
