PLANE TO :. SPARE CROWD BELOW

Through Lieut. Paul Barrows of the flying service, state officials have learned details of an unpub- lished chapter of gallantry in which the hero was a Phoenix lad, Lieut. Ed Raley. a graduate of the com- mercial department of the Phoenix high school and an enthusiastic member of the national guard, who went to the border with his regi- ment. leaving employment here with the Standard Oil company It ap- pears that now he is suffering from an injured eye and upon this hurt hangs the tale.
 Over year ago, in a Texas camp, Raley' was one of a number of aviators performing stunts in the presence of a curious crowd when his engine failed. He could have glided to the ground without damage to himself, but to have done so he would have had to blow through a group of spectators. Instead. he took a nose dive to the ground. wrecknig his machine and almost wrecking himself. No knowledge of this appears to have been allowed to come to the ears of his Arizona friends. Recently Lieutenant Raley has been a member of the aviation force engaged in bombing war ves- sells from the Norfolk, Va, station

 RETURNS ID PRISON

Jesus Ramereiz, one oG the three convicts who escaped from the state prison road camp near Superior Tuesday, when a fourth was shot and killed by a guard, returned to the penitentiary at Florence about s o'clock last night and gave himself up. Thomas Maddock, state engineer. reported upon his arrival in Phoenix from Florence at midnight. Ramereiz appeared at the prison just as Mad dock was leaving, and the latter heard no details as to why he had come back
 MT. Maddock reported that the search for the other two convicts was being continued. and that it was con- sidered probable they would be found. The story of the escape as he heard it at the prison was that the four men who attempted the break for liberty composed a small group working about seven miles from Su- perior and six miles from the road camp. One guard was in charge of the group, though there was a motor truck and driver not far away.
 According to the guard, one of the men struck him on the head with a rock. dazing him. He dropped his rifle, but immediately drew his pistol One of the convicts then grappled with him and managed to get his thumb under the revolvers hammer preventing its discharge, while ths other three men joined in the melee.
 In the scuffle that followed tn, group went down, the guard at tn, bottom, on his hands and knees. B, now, however. he had wrenched tn,
 pistol free and he fired between hi | legs, killing one of the men. I'm truck driver appeared on the seen,
 at this moment and the three pris oners took to their heels, pursued b. shot or two.
 The man killed was Panpaleon Gar l cia, sentenced from Yuma county 1 Those now at liberty are Pete Mar tinez, from Coconinoi county, and Ig nacio Carlos. Gila county. Ramerei was sentenced from Coconino county

General Leads Men
 Safely From Peril
IRepubIican A. P. Leased Wlre1

MELILLA. Sept. 30.-(Delayed)- A. timely act of personal courage by General Calvalcanti today saved a conovy on the way from Tiza from what appeared to be certain disaster.
 Strong columns of troops were pro- tecting the convoy carrying supplies and were showing signs of imminent disruption under the intense fire of the Moroccans from the trenches. The fire was inflicting heavy losses on the Spanish native troops. who were rushing from one position to an- other to escape the hail of bullets.
 The columns supporting them were massed and the men were suffering considerable losses because the off cers hesitated to disturb the align ment of the ranks. Suddenly Gen. era1 Calvalcanti appeared on. horse back amid the fire and shouted to- ward a group of engineers in the front line:
 Come along. boys. for the honor oi Spain."
 The general dashed forward. fol- lowed by his staff and the unit of en- gineers, and succeeded in arriving at Tiza. Other troops then took cour- age and returned the fire of the Mo roccans. driving them off and saving the day for the garrison.
