USED GIRL AS SHIELD.

McAlester, Ok, Jan. 19.-Three pris- oners, after overpowering their Iguards and taking the latters' re- volvers, shot their way out of the state penitentiary here today, killing four persons and wounding three others before they were finally round- ed up by a posse and themselves killed. The dead:
 P. c. OATES, deputy warden.
 P. c. Godfrey, guard.
 H. H. DeCOVER, Bertillion man.
 JUDGE THOMAS, a Muskogee at torney.
 CHINA REED, prisoner.
 TOM LANE, prisoner.
 CHARLES KUNTZ, prisoner.
 The wounded:
 J. w. Martin, turnkey, shot in the cheek.
 c. N. Woods, guard, shot in the arm.
 Miss Mary Foster, stenographer shot in the leg.
 The convicts, after securing re- volvers from their two guards, marched the latter to the prison office where Judge Thomas and the three prison officials were. Deputy Oates jumped to his feet and started firing, but his shots all went wild as he was lafraid of hitting the guards, who ywere being used as shields by the convicts. The convicts killed Oates, Godfrey and DeCover and then fore ed Miss Foster to accompany them tc Judge Thomas buggy, which was standing outside. Placing her in the vehicle, to be used as a shield, they made start for freedom. Miss Eos ter, suffering from her wound, faint ed in the buggy. The alarm quickly spread and posse soon was in pur- suit. They overlook the convicts less than half mile from the penitenti- ary, but were afraid to shoot for fear of hitting Miss Foster, who was being held up by the prisoners.
 A sudden lurch of the buggy, how ever, threw her to the roadway, and members of the posse then closed in shot the convicts to death.

Mad dock has been south before, and has shipped out, several times, he said with electrical constructions crews, one time being located in Texas. This was Young's first experience on the road"
 It is thought that the young men will go to Memphis as soon as their suit cases have been returned here and will then return to Chicago, with Young's mother who is there await ing him.
 Mother 1n Memphis. Memphis, Tenn, Jan. 19-The find ing of an overcoat of her missing son in pawn in Memphis yesterday has persuaded Mrs. C. l.. Young to Fe- main here q few days to see if she cannot locate her son H. w. Young aged 20 years, who ran away from lhls home in Evanston, H., few days ago in response to an attack of wanderlust to see the world as a hobo sees it.
 Since they came to Memphis Fri day morning Mrs. Young and Ben 'rraham, young chum of her son who is along to assist the officers in finding the boy, have been assisted l in their search by Sargt. Keho, who was detailed to that duty by Capt. Couch. Yesterday Sergt. Kehoe, with young Traham, made a round of the boarding houses to see if they could ge. trace of the young man. Mrs. Young was to leave Memphis yester' 1 day. but when Sergt. Kehoe found an overcoat which she identified as that of her son, she decided to re. main over short while longer ir the hope that the young man is still in Memphis.
 The overcoat, which cost $7o early in the winter, had been pawned fol s5. It was positively identified ant was .pawned Thursday. The Mem phis Police Department has wired description of the missing young mar 10 New Orleans, Fort Worth, Texas and other southern cities.
 His pawning his overcoast leads thc officers to believe that he wal going still farther south and though he would not need heavy coat.
