Escapes From State

Folsom, Cal, Oct. 17.-,Posses search

Gus injury to two prison guards
Warden john Smith, in charge of the
pursuit, is using bloodhounds. Creeks. a
life-termer, and Flash. who was serving
a twenty-year term for robbery. were
the only prisoners concerned in the out
break.
Convicts Leap on Guards
They had obtained knife, a dumb.
bell, to be used as a bludgeon, and a
piece of metal with which to unlock
the door of their cell. Gaining the yard
they crouched behind door leading
into the main corridor of the prison and
awaited the approach of Sergeant
Drury and Guard Kerr.
When the two, bearing four guns for
the guards inside entered, they left the
outer door unlocked. As the inner door
swung TO, the convicts leaped upon
them. Drurv fell with three knife
wounds in his head and three in his
body. Kerr was struck with the dumb
bell, but he was able to stagger back
through the outer door and attempted
to close it.
Desperate Fight for Liberty
The keys. however, had fallen with
the sergeant, and the door could not
be locked. Waiting but moment to
snatch the guns and the keys from
the body of the sergeant, the two con
victs started for the outer yard. Kerr
held the door until the muzzle of one of
the guns was thrust into his stomac
and then retreated.
The convicts rushed out and imme-
diatelv Kerr opened fire. At the first
shot Flash fell with a bullet through
tine back of his head. Almost at the
same moment. Guard Maher. stationed
at one corner of the yard, emptied mis-
gun at Creeks, who, however, had
wounded the guard in uhe leg. Before
another guard could interfere with his
progress Creeks escaped.
