TWO KILLED, TWO HURT,

Posses Searching for Man Who
Escaped From California
State Prison.

| FOLSOM, Cal, October 17.-Posses
| searched the country surrounding Fol
| som state prison today for Frank
| Creeks. who escaped last night in a
| break for liberty which cost his cell
mate, Harold Flash. and J. +. Drury, a
sergeant of the guard, their lives and
resulted in serious injury to two prison
guards Warden John Smith, in charge
of the search, is using bloodhounds
and as they were put on a warm trail
the officials believed the fugitive would
soon be captured. Creeks, If he can
shake off the dogs. may be able to give
his pursuers a difficult task. He is
armed. and it is thought that he will
fight to the last.
Only Two in Outbreak.
Creeks. a lfe-termer, and Flash. who
was serving a twenty-year term for
robbery, were the only prisoners con-
cerned in the outbreak.
They had obtained a knife, a dumbbell
to be used as biudgeon. and a piece OF
metal with which to unlock the door of
their cell. Gaining the yard, they
crouched behind a door leading into the
main corridor of the prison and await
ed the approach of Sergeant Drury and
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. Drury 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 attempt to
close it. The keys, however, had fallen
with the sergeant, ana the door could
not be locked.
Make Break for Outer Yard.
Waiting but moment to snatch the
guns and the keys from the body of
the sergeant. the two convicts started
for the outer yard Kerr held the door
until the muzzle of one of the guns was
thrust into his stomach. and then re-
treated.
The convicts rushed out and imme-
diately Kerr opened fire. At the first
shot Flash fell with a bullet through
the back of his head. Almost at the
same moment Guard Maher, stationed
at one corner of the yard, emptfed his
gun at Creeks. who, however, had
wounded the guard in the leg. Before
another guard could interfere with his
progress Creeks escaped.
