By Mail.
Repressa, Cal, Nov. 24.-With ma
tional guardsmen rushing by auto
and train to the Folsom state peni-
tentiary here, seven hundred prison
ers are inrevolt against one of the
most brutal regimes maintained by
any prison authority in the United
States. They drove out the hundred
prison officials and guards, hired
killers who have a horrible record of
murder done on their helpless charg-
es, wanton shootings, torture by chlor-
in filled dark cells, clubbings and as
saults. They besieged Warden Court
Smith in his office, trying to capture
him and use him fer a shield with
which to pass the gates, on which the
machine guns are trained.
Prisoners Shot.
An unknown number Of the prison
ers have been shot. One prison turn
key has been killed and two wound
ed.
Warden Smith, while locked in hi:
office, constantly telephoned the
state capital for more assistance.
Governor Smith has called out
battery of artillery and regimen
of infantry of militia, and a nationa
guard airplane is lowering over tn
lprison. Two hundred deputies an
police are hurrying to the prison
preceding the militia.
Desperate Protest.
The revolt came as a protes
against the rotten food served o
Thanksgiving Day. There have bee
succession of desperate outbreak
in Folsom because of the unwarran
ed shooting of prisoners in the yal
by guards ensconced on the prise
3 wall, because of bad food, and col
$ stant driving of half starved worl
ers to heavy exertion on the prise

discouraged she would hint at suicide
and say eff it wasn't for the babies
l would die right now" At sucl
times he said he had talked her ou
of the mood, telling her she must liv,
for the sake of the children.

Crosby, N. D., when Blank met he
four years ago and married her afte
a few weeks courtship.
Mr. and Mrs. Blank came to Com
ertown about eighteen months age
and lived there for a short time
They afterwards moved to Medicin
Lake where they ran a hotel for
time, moving from there to Scobey.

Republicans Confident
Judging the future by the past, the
Republicans are supremely confident
that they can elect a full ticket in

/ Senatorship in 1924 because a man of

ket and the Governorship because the
Dixon payroll gang was vulnerable to
the attacks of the Company" press.
They claim victory would perch on
their banner in a normal year-and
they predict Republican normalacy
will begin in Montana in 1928.
