prison here broke out this morning.
Five buildings were set on fire. Com
panys + and T of the First Illinois in
fantry, now in the federal service and
encamped near here, were called to as
sist the guards in quelling the disturb
ance. Three fire companies which re-
spended to the alarm met opposition
from the convicts who used bricks and
tools stolen from the implement house
as weapons.
The first work of the soldiers was to
clear the convicts away from the biaz'
ing buildings so that the fremen could
work. This was quickly accomplished
Three hours after the trouble started
the coavicts had not been subdued, but
the soldiers were making progress IL
heading them toward the cell rooms
The lnfantrymen were instructed moi
to shoot unless to save their own lives
