from the terrific heat and after a val

is being pumped down the 700 foot

little hope of rescuing any Of them

Rawllns, Wyo., oct 1.-THE out
break yesterday was the second with

day afternoon 20 prisoners escaped
and nine were recaptured before 3
O'Clock. At $3.50 this afternoon par

released their comrades from the

a battle with the guards made a rush
for the gates,

A moment later the citizens OF the
town heard a fuslade Of shots inside
the wall. A bedlam of shots and yells
echoed from the prison. A few sec
onds later more than dozen men
dashed down the main street, armed
with guns and knives. Holding the
few citizens on the street at bay with
revolvers, they charged into a livery
barn, held up the proprietor and sad
died and bridled the horses. A huge
negro with revolver was left as
guard outside.
Charles Strossner had heard the
commotion and came down the street
with shotgun. The negro shot him
through the head, killing him instant

High School Notes

Two years ago the local high
school had a basket ball team and
made a very good record, winning
just half its games. 1t js organic
ing team now The state law re-
quires high schools to make provis-
ion for the physical training of
their pupils, but our high school
has not done it, and there is no
school place where a basket ball
team can practice. So the boys
have hired Thelander's hall for the
purpose, and are spending their
afternoons at practice. Prof. Kranz
has charge of the team, and from
appearances at the start he will put
out good one before the season is
over. The teams schedule as ar
ranged now is as follows: at Els
worth Feb. 8, at Galahad Feb. II,
in afternoon, at Prescott Feb. %,
with Ellsworth here March l, with
Prescott here March %. Games
will probably be scheduled with
Hudson and with the Normal.
State High School Inspector H.
L. Terry of Madison was here last
Friday looking over the local
school. 1t is Mr.. Terry's business
to visit the high schools of the
state, inspect, criticise and COM
mend. He has commended our
school on several former visits, and
he repeated last Friday. He says
that he finds here a we'll organized
school doing good work. But
while he was here he asked very sig
nificantly, if the people here are not
interested in any of the new lines
of work in education. There is a
great and rapid progress in scho OILS
in all parts of the state, and it will
not do for River Falls to lay behind.
If we are not moving ahead as fast
as others, we must find out what is
lacking and prepare to remedy the
lack. We have a good school, but
perhaps something could be added
to make it worth more to the com
munity.
