With Boots On, Guns BIaz-
inQ at Hidden Officers
WAS MAKING ESCAPE PLANS
Sheriff Ends Manhunt Of Years
by Ambushing Escaped
Convict by Russ

West Palm Beach, Jan. S0.-(Ap)-
When Haywood Register fell mortally
wounded yesterday under . leaden
hail from an ambuscade Of officers
Sheriff bob" Baker finished q Job
he undertook four years ago when he
set out to sxterminate the notorious
Ashley gang.
Register died with his boots on,
with hts guns blazing defiance at the
officers who attempted to return him
to the state penitentiary and life
sentence for murder.
The last member Of the gang Of
desperadoes who from their hidden
retreats deep In the swainps Of the
everglades preyed for years on the
villages along the Florida east coast,
escaped last December 5 from the
state penitentiary at Raiford. where
he had been serving concurrent life
sentences for murder and an addi-
tional l8-year term for highway rob-
berry.
Walks Into Ambush
Yesterday he walked into an am
bush arranged with the aid OF q
friend Of Register whom the outlaw
last Saturday held up and relieved
Of $4,000. The friend pleaded for the
return Of his money. and Register
agreed on the condition that he be
furnished transportation to West
End. in the Bahama Islands.
The victim conferred with Sheriff
Baker, and yesterday when he went
to keep his rendezvous with Register
near . canal 1T Boynton. II miles
south Of here, he was followed by
Baker and his deputies. Baker, hid
den behind bush, called on Register
to throw up your hands"
Instead. Register whirled, q blazing
pistol In each hand.
He emptied three pistols at the five
officers and was attempting to~draw
q knife when four bullets from the
posses pistols took effect.
Four Gangstses Killed
The Ashley gang teErorixed the
lower east coast for many years, COM
hitting highway rubberies and hold
ing up banks. until four years ago,
when Sheriff Baker and his deputies
surprised the outlaws at Sebastian
briGge near here. In the gun battle
that ensued four Of the gang were
killed and several captured.
Register. who assumed leadership
on the death Of John Ashley, Han
ford Mobley. Ray Lynn and Shorty
Middleton, was captured later, con-
vtcted Of murder and robbery and
sentenced to the state prison for life.
Bob Ashley, another member Of the
gang, was killed some time later In q
pistol duel with Miami officers and
Ed and Frank Ashley went to sea and
disappeared. Joe Tracy, another Of
the outlaws, is serving life sentence
at Raiford.
Laura Upthegrove. reputed sweet
heart Of various members Of the
gang, committed suicide three years
ago by drinking poison.

Milwaukee, Jan. 3O.-(P-The con-
versation bromide, I'VE aren't having
the winters we used to have" has
been frozen stiff and buried under
tons Of snow In the Wisconsin and
Michigan northland.
Today, as word began .shivering
forth from entire communities that
have been winterbound for days and
weeks. some idea of the seasons Sc
verify was realized.
kewaunee. Wis. was one of the
places where the oldest residents were
ready to admit that never before, in
their memory, had there been such q
winter.
No Kewauneean was better able to
attest the severity Of the weather than
DR.. w. M. Wochos. One Of his ex-
periences became known today. At
dawn, with the temperature far be-
low zero, DR.. Wochos received q tele-
phone call from the Eugene Beaurain
home nine miles away.
Drifts Foil Machines
The physician set forth In his ski
equipped motor car, only to abandon
1t after three miles and started ahead
on foot.
Finally he came to farm house
and phoned Beaurain instructions on
how to welcome the stork should the
bird arrive before he did. A snowplow
was put to work to cut a path through
the drifts: but even the plow was able
to advance only three miles, after
five hours.
DR.. Wochos. pressed ahead on foot
fighting bitter cold and snow that was
waist-high in places. After several
hours he stumbled exhausted and
nearly frozen into the Beaurain home
The stork had beaten him, and
Mrs. Beaurain and q baby girl were
doing as well Is though the doctor
had been there on time.
Death as well as birth has written
its story In the SHOWS. At the Trails
End clubhouse near Steuben, Mich.
William Heron. the caretaker, died
despite q five mile journey on snow
shoes by DR.. A. r. Tucker OF Manis-
tique.
Wrapping Herron's body In blank
cts, the woman and her boy placed
1t on toboggan and started with Il
across the wind-swept drifts to the
nearest undertaker'S.
Night overlook them as, flounderine
through the deep snow. they staggered
slowly ahead, dragging the toboggau
and its cargo Of death. They became
hopelessly lost.
A little white dog was their saliva
tion. The animal was the only one
who appeared TO know . way out
Spent. worn and exhausted BY thu
exertion Of bucking the snow and
dragging the toboggan, these thre(

shack.
Rested and given aid, Mr.. Heron
and her son reached Mauistique th<

SENTENCES OF DEATH
PASSED ON LEADERS
OF SPANISH REVOLT
Ciudad Real, Scene Of Principal
Rebellion, Is Occupied by
Troops From Madrid

Madrid, Jan. 3O.-lR-Rumors from
Ciudad Real today were that several
sentences Of death had been passed
after q summary court martial In
quired into yesterdays artillery mu-
tiny there. An artillery general who
was the ringleacer in the whole affair
Was believed to have escaped over the
Portuguese frontier.
The city. the scene Of the principal
rebellion. has been occupied by troops
from Madrid under command Of Gen.
eral Orbas. The general took all pos
sible measures to maintain order.
Some troops which left Madrid were
returning to the capital.
Censorship prevents further details
and . large number Of dispatches
have been suppressed.
The premier announced that upon
the return Of King Alfonso from a
hunting trip near Cordoba, he will
submit to his majesty q report de-
failing the measures taken. to gap-
press the disorders In Ciudad Real and
other parts Of Spain. ess
Planes Drop Proclama&tons
The 1nsurrection was ended after q
squadron OF airplanes flew over tho
city dropping proclamationS promis-
Ing that only the leaders would be
punished II the soldiers surrendered
before serious fighting occurred. The
proclamations said that otherwise the
planes would return with bombs.
Later Premier Primo de Rivera
appeared before the assembly and an.
nounced that the revolt was at an
end and tranquility had been restored
throughout the country. He attributed
the prompt quashing Of the disorders
TO the zeal Of the local authorities,
the vigilance Of the police. the solid
discipline and patriotism Of the MILL
tary institutions and the saneness Of
the country.
The revolt started when q regiment
Of field artillery at Ciudad Real rolled
out their cannon so as to command
the roads and approaches to tho
walled city.
Planes Restore Order
During their control Of the city the
muttneers prevented all trains from
entering or leaving, but order was
restored after the planes flew over
with their offers Of peace. The revolt.
which was planned to break out sim
ultaneously throughout Spain, also
was reported to have shown itself at
Valencia, Barcelona and Corunna
without making any headway.
After q bloody mutiny Of the artil-
lery corps In September. 1926, the
government reorganized the corps.
a few weeks ago. apparently having
learned Of the approaching revolt, the
government virtually abolished the
artillery corps as q separate branch
Of the army and Incorporated It into
the infantry and other units. The
question OF promotion by merit was
believed to be the actual cause since
officers Of the army have always
fought for promition by seniority.
