volunteer firemen in putting out a
blaze at the suburban residence of
Charles w. Clark, son of former

telephoned to San Mateo and thirty
five volunteer firemen responded.
Roosevelt mounted to the roof,
but was ordered down by one Of the
firemen. He tried to descend via the
attic, which was chicken with
smoke. There he was discovered
cropping about by fireman and es-
corted to safety.

Taylor, Dowd and Farmer Boy by
the Name of Blunt are
Killed.
CHARLES MORLEY IS WOUNDED.
Three Mile Running Fight Takes
Place Ten Miles From City
of Omaha.

Omaha, Neb., March 19.-Two of
the convicts, John Dowd and John
Taylor, alias Shorty" Gray, who es-
capped last Thursday from the state
penitentiary at Lincoln, and Harry
Blunt, an innocent victim of their
murderous attempt to secure liberty,
are dead as the result Of an excit-
ing battle between the bandits and
officers of the law yesterday after
noon.
Charles Morley, the third member
of the trio which escaped from the
state prison after killing three Of
ficials Of that institution, saved his
life by surrendering to the officers
with whom he had fought run
ming battle over two and half
miles of country with horses on the
gallop.
The three escaped convicts were
within striking distance Of the goal
which they hoped might secure
their safety when the final desper-
ate struggle for liberty occurred.
They had covered the stretch from
Lincoln to within ten miles of the
Omaha city limits, where they had
expected the protection of some
friends.
From the moment OF their escape
the three men employed the same
desperate methods to protect them
selves from recapture which featur-
ed their escape from prison, and
they did not hesitate, at the crucial
moment, to attempt to sell their
lives as dearly as possible. It was a
futile attempt, however. because
they were armed with shotguns and
revolvers while their pursuers had
a plentiful supply Of repeating
rifles and revolvers.
OPERATOR GIVES WARNING.
Early in the day the telephone OPP
orator at Gretna, about fifteen miles
south of this city, gave the alarm
of the presence in that vicinity of
the desperate men. 1t had the re-
suit Of bringing to the vicinity no
less than six organized posses They
included one from Omaha composed
Of detectives and police officers, an
other composed Of Sheriff McShane
and his deputies Of this county; a
third was made up of Sheriff Flyers
and his deputies from Lincoln.
Sheriff Chase of sarpy with his dep
lties were also within striking dis
lance and South Omaha sent two
posses under Chief of Police Briggs
and the Gretna company of militia
were early on the scene.
Chief Briggs of South Omaha and
ais deputy, John c. Trouton, were

CASE IS MADE
The Group is Said to Have 0per-
ated in Three
States.

Sioux City, March 1S.-An effort
to break up a gang of thieves oper.
ating in and out Of Sioux City in
the three states of Iowa, Nebraska
and South Dakota and evading the
laws of these states by taking ad-
vantage of the extradition customs
is to be made by Sioux City police
officers.
A test case will come up in the
justice court of o. T. Naglestad
Tuesday, when Tom Glenn and Jim
Cornell will be tried in Iowa for an
offense committed in Nebraska,
without the Formally of an extra
dition. These men are said to have
been caught in possession of a
quantity of silks that have been
identified as the same as were stol-
en- from store in Homer, Neb., a
few nights ago.
The contention OF the officers is
that for every minute they retained
possession of the goods they were
guilty Of thievery, and an effort will
be made to convict them, therefore,
on larceny charge. County Attor-
ney c. N. Jepson has interested
himself in the case.

Morley.
FINDS LIFELESS BODIES.
Briggs then went to the wagon,
taking Morley with him, and found
the lifeless bodies OF the victims of
the battle.
The bodies of the dead convicts
were turned over to Sheriff Hyers
OF Lincoln and that OF young Blunt
to his family, Hyers also took Nor
| ley back to Lincoln on an afternoon
train.
Briggs and Touton received sever
al slight flesh WOUNDS as a result
of the shotgun fire Of the convicts,
but they we're Insignificant. That
the escaped convicts were lost for a
while during the early part of the
day is evident. They secured their
bearings after arriving at the Blunt
home. Their objective point was
Omaha and they told young Blunt
that II he took them swiftly to AL
bright, the Omaha suburb, no harm
would come to him.
Blunt was 90 years old and had
been married but two months. His
young widow was Frustrated when
his body was returned to the family
home by his brother.
Following the final battle, several
hundred farmers arrived on the
scene and the procession which fol-
lowed the officers back to Gretna
was nearly two miles long.
At Gretna the different posses dis
persed to their own cities.

POLICE SEARCHING
FOR THE CONNECTS
House to House Examination 1nstl-
tuted Today. ~

Lincoln, Neb.n, March 1S.--Per-
sisting in the belief that the three
Nebraska penitentiary convicts who
murdered Warden Delahunty and
two assistants in a jail break Thurs
day are either in Lincoln or be-
tween this city and Omaha, officers
yesterday continued patrol of the
country and a search of possible
hiding places. AS result of the
days work they had secured not a
single definite clue as to the move
ments of the men after they were
taken to Twentieth and R streets,
Lincoln, by boy, whom they had
forced to aid them.
Officers believe that the fugitives
may have repeated their act OF
Thursday afternoon, when they held
up the family of J. S. Dickman,
farmer near Lincoln, and forced
Mrs. Dickman to give them food and
shelter until late that night. The
three men might easily have sur
prised an isolated household and
have forced it's members to do their
bidding, figure the officers, while
they await letup in the search for
them in eastern Nebraska. Working
on this theory an effort is to be
made today to visit every farm
house along the roads from Lincoln
to the Platte river, twenty-five miles
east. Buildings in Lincoln are also
to be again searched.

BOILER EXPLOSION
KILLS n PERSONS
Some Of the Dead Mangled Beyond
Identification.

San Antonio, Tex, March 10
At least twenty-seven persons were
killed in the explosion OF locomo-
tive boiler at the Southern Pacific
ronndhouse yesterday. A number
also were injured.
Most of the dead and injured
were strikebreakers who took the
places of Southern Pacific shopmen,
who struck here several months ago.
So fearfully mangled were several
OF the bodies that it is thought they
never can be identified.
Eighteen bodies had been recover
ed within two hours after the ex-
plosion and more were being re-
moved. Nearby stores and buildings
were filled with injured. The
roundhouse and copper shops were
wrecked by the explosion and many
men working in them were hurt by
falling walls.
The army hospital staff here was
rushed to the yards and police, am
balances and Y. M. C. A. workers
were organized into rescue bands to
take out the dead and try to save
the lives Of the wounded.
