Convicts Overpower
Guard, Kill Young Man
Named Mayo, and Escape

| Continued From First Page.1
Fortenbarry raised the rifle and shot
him dead.
Two of the convicts then made a
break for the cabin, the two others
holding Kelly. Arriving at the cabin
| they covered the guard, Mayo, and
then went through the place, taking
out all of the clothing and arms. The
latter consisted of a shot gun, two
revolvers and rifle. They also car
ried off all the ammunition they could
find. Changing their clothes hurried
~ and leaving their convict suits, the
five men broke for the swamps.
SHERIFF NOTIFIED.
The camp has no communication
with Bluff Springs and it was about
II o'clock yesterday morning when
Sheriff Ellis received a long distance
message telling him of what had hap
pened. With several deputies he left
the city quickly and arriving at tho
scene took up the chase, but the men
mad left no trail, neither had any per-
son seen them in their flight.
Later in the afternoon with Con-
stable Brewton the sheriff made an
other trip through the swamps and
sent out notices to officers in all sec
tions, giving a description of the men.
At 8 o'clock last night the sheriff
and Constable Brewton returned to
tMcDavid, having been unable to get
any trace of the five men. 1t is sup
posed that they went in a northerIy
or northwestern direction and will re-
main in the swamps as much as pos
sible, discarding the rifles and shot
gun when they attempt to enter any
towns.

Bernard and Robert Fortenbarry are
from Louisiana, and are said to be
wanted in other places. They gave
the name of Barry when arrested, but |
it was learned they had given an as

and their guilt proven by the fact
that they had some of the goods on
them. Bernard Fortenbarry tried to
shoot Constable Brewton when the
latter arrested them. He had a late
model automatic revolver, while his
brother had a large calibre Colt.
John Barnes and William Bailey
said they were from Washington, but
this is not believed, neither Is it be-

Big Games This
Week Closes the
Football Season
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

| New York, Nov 22.-The most SEN
sationaI football season in recent years
will close this week with the playing
of the Pennsylvania Cornell game at
! Philadelphia on Thanksgiving Day and
| the Army-Navy game on the same
field two days later. Compared with
the Yale-Princeton, Har-
ward and Ya1e-Harvard series these
annual games are of comparatively
modern origin. The interest, however,
is keen and each season the elevens
play before crowds that tax the ca
pacity of the stands.
The Cornell-Pennsylvan series be-
gan in the autumn Of 1893 and has
continued without interruption for FL
years. During this period Pennsyl-
vania has won eighteen games; Cor
nell two and one resulted in no-score
tie. In total points Pennsylvania leads
with 392 to CornelPs 11S and the VIC
tories have been accumulated in
strings. From 1893 to 100 Pennsyl-
vania won continuously. After being
defeated in 1901 the Quakers were tr1-
umphant until 1906 when the no-score
tie occurred. From 1907 to 1912 Penn
sylvania won regularly, Cornelps sec
ono victory coming laSC season Wnen
the Ithaca team won 81 to o.
The Army-Navy games began three
years earlier than the CornelI-Penn-
sylvania series but owing to breaks in
the Service matches but eighteen con-
tests have been held. or these con-
tests the Navy has won nine; the Ar
my eight and one resulted in q tie.
Although the Navy has a one-game
lead, the Cadets have scored the great
err number of points, their eight vic
tories totaIling 1872 points to the Mid
dies 139. 1t is q peculiar feature OF
the series that in a large majority
Of the contests both elevens have
scored. The Army has succeeded but
once in shutting out the Navy while
teams have six times de-
feated their West Point opponents
being scored upon.
