day for the Lost Creek section of
Breathitt county to join sheriff's
possee in a search for nine men who
early today killed one youth and

The guardsmen were ordered out to-
day by Governor Morrow after a band
of 'mountaineers had attacked the
Breathitt county Jail in an effort to
liberate prisoners they thought were
held there. The prisoners there under
life sentence had been removed. Ap-
pearing at tn Jail residence about 2:3O
o'clock this morning they demanded
the prisoners. Oscar Allen, deputy
jailer, answered the men by throwing
the keys into dark room and firing.
His wife and sister Miss Maggie AL.
len came out of their rooms and Mrs.
Allen stepped in front of her husband
whom she thought wounded or dead.
She was shot down as was her sister.

nephew of Jailer A. A. Allen, then

men. They returned the fire, fatally
wounding him.
Without making an attempt to.
search the Jail the band of men de-
parted.
Mrs. Allen, who was erroneounsly
reported today as had died, is in a
critical condition. Her sister-in-law
is suffering from four bullet wounds.
