SEVERAL SLAIN TN SECOND RIOT
 OF CONNECTS
Ten Prisoners Overpower Guards and Escape Amid Fusilade of Bullets; One of Them, a Lifer, Being Shot Down

Cheyenne, Wyo. Oct 14.-Wfth two persons known to be dead, several otf1- CTS reported slain, and one mortally wounded in the open country about Rawlins, Wyo., excitement was at fe- yer heat all over the state today, as the result of last nights riot of con Victs at the state penitentiary, cul- m1naf1ng in the second successful pris- on delivery there in 36 hours.
 Of the ten convicts who overpowered their guards and escaped last night one, Antonia BasSO, a life termer, is known to have been shot down. An other convict is said to have been slain outside Rawlfns by a posse of peniten- tentiary guards, and a third is report ed nortally wounded.
 Charles Stranser. a Rawlins barber, attempted to stop the convicts when they left the prison, and was shot instantly. Another citizen, a hunter, name unknown, was also slain by two convicts outside of Rawlins when the fugit1ves held up a hunting party and seized their weapons and ammunition.
 Although Is hours have pessed since the delivery. 1t is impossible to get to how many convicts are still at large There were two deliveries since Saturday afternoon and much confusion exists.
 ifer, and 19 other convicts, overpow- cred the guard at the RawIins jail The absence Of many guards from the prison was the direct cause of the second escape. Antonio Baseo, a 'bad man" of the most desperate type organized a party of prisoners and early last night, 10 of them rushed the inner guards, overpowered the turnkey, climbed the walls and quietly walked away. Before going, however, they armed themselves with butcher knives, haLchets and cleavers from the kitchen.
 The party remained together and started for the residence section of RawIinS.
 Prison guards gave chase, and ov- erhau1ed them near the railroad yards and shot the top of Baseo's head off. The others fled through the yards, reaching the outskirts.

LOCAL SLEUTHS
 LOCATE STOLEN
 AUTO FOR JAILER

Solely through the efforts of the Bridgeport detective bureau and par ticularly through Detective George Fox, Jai1er Charles Donahue is today in possession of his automobile and Timothy O'Toole is thought imminent.
 Learning Saturday that O'Too1e had been seen in the company of a man and three young women living in Bridgeport, the detective traced them by description until he located their boarding house on State street, only to find them out. Doggedly hanging around the house on Sunday morning, he saw Nellie Mccormack, Gertrude Ford and Florence Bertram enter the house with crest-fallen faces. He fol- lowed and learned that O'Too1e with another man whose name has not as yet been divulged, went to New York, where they gilded the Great White Way with the unknown'S money. Fin ally finding themselves abandoned, it became necessary to pledge personal adornment to secure car-fare home.
 Questioned as to the location of the car, they said the garage in which it had been stored could be found, but that they could not remember the name of street number. Nellie was dispatched to New York, where she showed an officer to the car. O'Toole was to return to the garage and will be apprehended upon arrival. Details of the daring getaway from New Ha- ven will be found in other columns of this paper.

New York, Oct 1A.-In a firm. steady voice that was plainly heard in every corner of the courtroom, Br1dsle Webber, noted gambler, added ms story of the murder of Herman Kos enthaI to that of Jack Rose in the trial of Police Lieutenant Charles Packer. today.

(By Grantland Rdce)

Brush Stadium, New York, Oct. 14- They were waiting for Ruoe Marquard, today-t41e depressed fan legion of polo1om which gathered early to sit in on the Giants last stand-their last rally against an overwhelming lead where defeat today would close the battle for the year and leave the Red Sox triumphant, successors to the Mac kian machine of 1910 and 1911.
 And the main hinge of McGraw's wry-necked southpaw was now the sole blockading feature before the Red Sox rush.
 Remem bering the RIloe had wrench ed off the only Giant victory gained out of five contests, they looked to him to lead his pals back into the fight again by coming through with another conquest where Teereau and Mathew son would then take a, combined shot at the championship and look for bet ter support.
 Under these conditions the appear ance of the renowned Rube striding across the battlefield with his accus- toned grace poise and noncha lance was the signal for a roar of hope and welcome which arose.
 While Marquard lo1led about, a countless number of eager orbs were shifted in the direction of Stahls men were O'Brien and Collins stood with a group discussion the situation and the respective powers of the well known wings.
 Marquard likes nothing better than a dark, gray background where his .yyhietling speed and fast hop have the effort of binding and bew1lder1ng. This day, like all the others, showed little trace of sunlight. And as this shadoUy feature of the weather proVed a big help, McGraw 1olzed for Mar o11ard to be invincib1e.
 McGraw, uncertain as to whether Stahl had planned to work Wood or Collins, took no chances but sent out two of his young right handlers and then followed with Wiltse for pre- Iirninary batting in order to have his athletes set for whatever brand of pitching might arrive.
 Well get some runs, today" Me Graw said, "and if my defense only backs up the Rube thereu be noth- ing to it. All we have to do is to make them earn what they get and it's anybody's series yet.''

The loyalty of the Giant fans failed to stand the test and five minutes before the call of play there were yawning patches of vacant seats in the bleachers and unpopulated sec tions of both wings of the grand stand indicated the attendance would be the smallest of the New York games.

FIND NEW EVIDENCE
 OF MEXICAN JUNTA
Eight Carloads of Ammuni- ton Shipped From
 America

New Orleans, January 3.-Evidence in- dicating moro widespread revolutionary plot against Mexico than has heretofore been attributed to the opponents of the Madero administration has come to light in the discovery of the shipment of at least eight carloads of ammunition and explosives from points in Pennsylvania and New Jersey to New Orleans Within the past 50 days.
 The fact that these shipments were detoured at points north of New Or leans is said to have been clearly estab- lished, leading to the suspicion that the between this city and Mobile. from which flibustering expeditions have cleared un- observed in the past.
 In addition to these eight carloads with an estimated total of more than 100000 pounds of munitions of war, agents of the Mexican government assert that one firm in New Orleans has shipped 150 rifles per week for the past five weeks to points in Texas near the Mexican border.
 Secret agents of the Mexican govern ment are working with the agents of the United States, and for the past few days have been keeping several steamers as well as the gulf ports under close surveillance. Four Mexicans in this city who are said to have been associated with Gen. Bernardo Reyes in his revolu- tionary plans, are being shadowed and it is not improbable that arrests may be made within the next few days.
 While the government agents and offi- cials here decline to make a statement. railroad employees who have the knowl edge of the information which was ob- tained in an effort to trace the eight carloads of ammunition to their destina- ton, say that the first carload left Phila- delphia on November and that the others were sent forward at intervals of about week, with New Orleans given as the destination on each of the through WAY bills No information is vouchsafed as to the name of the consignee, bNt 1t Is said that not one of the cars was checked into New Orleans.
 It is not denied in Mexican official cir cles that Emilio Vasquez Gomez is sus- pected of connection with revolutionary plot against the Mexican government and there is strong suspicion here that the heavy shipments of ammunition and ex- plosives to this section were purchased by representatives of the Cientifico party.
 While a revolutionary junta has not been formally established here, the Mex ican population of New Orleans has been augmented within the past few weeks by the arrival of dozen or more cit izens of that country who have not been inconspicuous in Mexican political af- fairs At least two of these, Delio Mo
