CJNvICTS REVOLT
Former Illinois Congressman
and Judge Among Slain.
WOMAN is ALSO SHOT DOWN

Three Prisoners Make Escape, but
Are Afterward Overtaken and Killed
by Pursuers-Three Prison Guards
Slain and Two Others Wounded
Men Not TRUSTEES.
M'ALESTER, OKLA-At least seven
men are dead and one woman injured
as the result of an attempt on the
part of three prisoners to escape from
the state penitentiary here.
The dead: p C. Oates, deputy sher-
iff; P. c. Godfrey, guard; H. H. De
cover, Bertillon man; Judge John Z.
Thomas, formerly congressman from
Illinois; China Reed, prisoner; Ten.
Lane, prisoner; Charles Kuntz, prison
er.
The injured: Miss Mary Foster, pris
on stenographer, shot in leg; J. w.
Martin, turnkey, shot in cheek; G. i.
Woods, guard, shot in arm.
Judge Thomas, a Muskegee attorney,
was formerly congressman from Hi
nois, federal judge and member OF
the state code commission. He served
five terms in congress from the Egypt
CID district
Shoot Prison Officials.
Reed, Lane and Kuntz, the three
prisoners, stormed the guard, shoot
ing the three prison officials and
Judge Thomas, who was in the peni-
tertiary consulting a client.
The prisoners then rushed to the
penitentiary office and at the point Of
revolvers forced T. G. Rice and Miss
Mary Foster. the latter penitentiary
stenOgrapher, to go with them in a
buggy near the penitentiary and get
in

An alarm was sounded and guards

Battle on Highway.
In the meantime the sheriff of Pitts
burg county had been notified and
asked to quickly summon a posse Of
gunner.
Before the prisoners had gone more
than a half mile from the peniten,
tiary, however, they were overtaken
by the penitentiary guards. A battle
took place on the highway in which
all three of the convicts were shot to
death.
Governor Lee Cruce was notified Of
the outbreak over long distance by
Warden Dick.
Dick told the governor that none of
the men were TRUSTEES. They were re-
garded as being desperate characters,
one of them serving a forty-year
term.
How the prisoners got possession Of
the pistols Dick does not know
They Open Fire.
The first intimation prison officials
had that anything was wrong was
when the men grabbed the two guards
and marched them in front of them
into the penitentiary office. Deputy
Warden Oates was in the office talking
with Judge Thomas of Muskogee. AS
the men entered they pointed their
pistols at Oates
Oates jumped to his feet and began
to fire, but his aim was poor, because
he was afraid of hitting the guards,
who were serving as breast works for
the prisoners.
At the second shot from Oates pis-
tol the men shot Oates and the
others to death.
While they were fleeing in the bug
gy, pursued by the mounted posse
Miss Foster fell out of the vehicle
the prisoners to death.

Flies Eggs.

Eggs OF flies are so small that you
must use a microscope in order to see
their real peculiarities. Each female
fly lays Oh the average OF $50 eggs.
For her cradle she selects a heap Of
garbage or refuse. The eggs hatch
into minute maggots. In five days the
maggots turn into little chrysalids. or
pupae, shaped like miniature beans.
Within another five days these give
birth TO flies, which develop with
amazing rapidity into adult insects,
and then the mischief begins.

When a Hedgehog Awakes.

When alternating hedgehog awak-
ems il rapidly warns itself up, Wheth-
er this is done automatically or wheth-
ell it is due TO the awakening animal
pulling itself together" seems TO be
a moot point. The fact is that the
animal rapidly warns itself up. The
chemistry of this is rapid combus-
ton of glycogen along with a small or
moderate quantity Of fat. There seems
no doubt that the important fuel which
so rapidly makes the fire of life burn
up is glycogen; the fat is only sub
sidiary. 1t must be noticed that in
the hedgehog the awakening and the
warming up are two distinct though
associated processes, for the animal
may be awake at lower temperature

Is PLANNED.

Butte, Mont, June 15.-With Gov.
Stewart in the city conducting an In
vestigation Of the lawlessness of the
last two days and all local authorities
making every effort to restore calm in
the ranks of Butte's 5000 miners, the
city was quite today. Men were at
work in all the mines. In the Specu-
lator, one of the largest mines in the
city, 90 per cent of the day shift was
reported at work. In the Blackrock
and the Butte and Superior, nearly all
the shift went down this morning.
Officials of the union have not ap-
peared since they fled when the pa
rade was broken up on miners union
day. It is believed no protest will be
made for the present. In the mean
time the seceders from the union who
have been influenced by Industrial
Workers of the World, leaders are
planning to get out large vote on
Wednesday when the miners will cast
their ballots on this question, Shall
we refuse to show Western Federation
cards at all the mines?"
