Chester, Ill.-Twenty-six criminally
insane convicts were at large in this
city today following wholesale pail
delivery at the stat ehospital for the
criminal insane here last night, in
which one of the convicts was slain,
two guards were stabbed seriously and
other guards and officials badly beaten.
Many of those escaped had been COM
mitted to the institution on their pleas
of insanity when charged with murd-
ers in various parts of the state.
Numerous posses, including fifty
guards of the southern Illinois prison,
which is adjacent to the hospital, and
police officers were scoring a thick
wooded section where most of the fug-
atfves are believed to be hiding. The
unlevel topography of the section and
bluffs skirting the Mississippi river
nearby affords the criminals many Sc
cure hiding places, according to lead
ers of the posses.

own number, and seriously wounding
two guards. DR.. Stubblefeld, superin-
tendent, suffered a fractured arm.
The dead convict is William Jack
son, a negro, convicted in Chicago of
murder. 1t was asserted that he was
stabbed to death by his fellow onvicts
in the general fight preceding the es-
cape, and not by guards.
The wounded guards are James Dem
ney, who was stabbed below the heart,
and Ralph Dilday, who was dubbed a.
bout the head. Little hope is held for
Denney's recovery, it was said.
Siren Heralds Escape.
The escape first was heralded by the
wild cat" siren at the institution.
This was followed by a currying of
citizens to their homes. Men obtained
firearms and assisted in the search.
Fifty guards from the southern Hi
nois prison are assisting in the search.

Fifty inmates Of ward d., considered
the most dangerous of the prisoners,
were in the Enclosure and the opin-
was expressed that these men wer re-
sponsible for the delivery. r.
1t was pointed out that the delivery
had been prearranged because of the
team work employed. Using an old
method, two of the convicts started a
fist fight, while others gathered around
shouting. The half dozen armed
guards rushed through the yelling
group to quelI the disturbance when
suddenly they were attacked with fists,
knives and clubs. An Investigation is
under way to ascertain. how the in
mates obtained the knives.

 "We will seer, Wanda and Winda said as they got out all their charms H-and placed them in circle upon the ground.
 What shall we try to make first?" Wanda asked of Winda.
 Well" Winda replied. "We cut open Raggedy Anns and Raggedy Andy's rag bodies and took the mag ical Wishing Pebble and the Magical Wishing Stick from them; so let's see if we can make a magic needle to sew them up with!'
 "Ohl had forgotten!" Wanda said. "No sir. I shall sew up their rag bodies myself just as good as new! I shall not be lazy any more"
 You are right, sister Wanda" :" Winda said. "We cut their rag bod ies open, so we should sew them up again! I will sew one while you sew the other!"
 So the two sisters. Wanda and Winda, placed the magical Wishing Pebble in Raggedy Ann's cotton stuffed body and sewed them up again, just as good as new.
 And 1t did not hurt Raggedy Ann nor Raggedy Andy even one speck.
 When they had finished doing this task, Wanda and Winda tried their magical charms, but although they said all the magical words they knew, the charms would not work and they could not make single magical thing.
 Well. we'll! the two sisters laughed, "It is just as well, for we do not care to make magical things any more, now that we are not Witches! We will just be as kind and gentle and generous to everyone and that will be far better than heinz able to work magic!" so the two former Witches threw the charms in the bushes and turned to
