SEVEN DEAD IN
PRISON MUI|NY
ConviCts Pay for Dash to Escape
With their Lives.
FORMER U. S. JUDGE SLAIN.
Girl Telephone Operator Used BY
the Mutineers To Prevent
Guards From Firing
On Them.

McAlester, Okla.-Seven men were
shot to death and three persons were
wounded when three convicts attempt
ed to escape from the State peniten-
tlary and were slain by guards.
One of the men murdered by the
convicts in their mad dash for liberty
was John r. Thomas, of Muskogee,
formerly United States district Judge
and once Congressman from Illinois.
Despite the commotion caused by
the three men in trying to shoot down
everyone who came in their way, no
general attempt was made by other
convicts to join in the delivery, though
the three mutineers were encouraged
bv their less desperate fellows, who
cheeed the onslaught of the armed
prisoners.
So rapidly did the three convicts
shoot down those in their path that
they reached the prison gate before
the guards could return their fire.
The desperadoes had taken the keys
from the turnkey, John Martin, whom
they had wounded, and had sheltered
themselves through the prison yard by
holding Mary Foster, a telephone
operator, in front of them until the
only shot fired by the guards in the
yard hit the girl in the leg.
Fought To the Last.
Outside the gate the men seized the
horse and buggy of Warden Dick and
dashed away, only to be shot dead by
pursuing guards. One convict fought
to the last and, while his companions
crouched low and whipped the stolen
horse into gallop, fired his remain
ing cartridge at the oncoming guards.
who poured in deadly fire from
horseback.
Even after the three escaped men
lay dead in the careening buggy the
frightened horse of the warden dashed
onward until felled by a bullet from
the pursuers.
The Dead and Wounded.
The dead are:
John X. Thomas, Muskogee, formerly
United States District Judge.

after placing my picket out In front,
we flung ourselves down to sleep. In

fellow who had exhibited the most in.
tense longing to exterminate the en-
tire northern army.
about dawn l was awakened by
the wellknown ping, ping!' Of bullets
against the logs of the cabin and the
expostulating voice of my picket. Go
ing to the door I saw that a small
scouting party Of federal soldiers had
discovered signs Of C~onfederates in
the cabin and were trying to drive
us out by firing from the opposite
hill. I turned to my picket and gave
a gasp of establishment. The young
man stood In the midst of the clear
ing while the bullets whistled around
him. There vas no sign of fear
about him, but he was tremendously
excited. He had dropped his musket
and was waving his arms, trying to at
tract the attention of the enemy, and
shouting at the top of his voice in
tones of remonstrance:

Fire at Utica.
From Friday Daily Herald.

From Friday Daily Herald.
About midnight last night the
Mike Lucid livery barn in Utica
was discovered to be on fire. A
general fire alarm was given at
once, and soon afterwards a large
sum of men put in their appear
ance and fought the already fierce
blaze with two streams of water.
As the fire burned in all its fury,
large sparks began to fall on the
surrounding buildings, which would
soon have been in blaze but for
the fact that men stationed them
selves upon the buildings and ex-
tinguished the small fires almost
as soon as they blazed up. With
in a short time after the fire was
discovered the barn was a heap Of
ruins. Besides the barn, 10 head
of fine horses, one COW, two auto
mobiles and $70o worth of auto
tires we're consumed. Jack Cuss-
man, O laborer from Columbus,
Kan who was sleeping in the
barn, had a very close call to
deeth. Cussmau was awakened
by the roaring of the fire, and
tried to make bis escape, which
was only possible through a small
window in the 'hayloft. In max
ing his way to this window, he
was burned around the arms, face
and neck, DIR. Morehouse was
called from Yankton, to give re-
lief to the wounded man, who was
later removed to the hospital at
YanktoD.
The total loss cannot be ascer-
tanned at present, but will IN
doubtly reach $4,000 with about
$4,000 insurance. Mr.. Lucid sta
ted that he had about $3.50 insur-
ance on the barn, and $500 on the
stock. 1t is understood that both
automobiles yer also insured.
Witnesses of the FIRE state that
but for the new waterworks,
which we're installed by the city a
few months ago, the entire town
would have been in ruins today.
Several theories as to the cause of
the fire have been suggested, all
of which have good foundation.
Joe Fejfar, of Utica, was in the
city today on business. He was
approached by a Herald reporter,
and asked about the fire in Utica
Thursday night. He said that
the 6remen made a hard fight, but

of a start. Three streams of wa
ter from the new waterworks and
