PRISON MUTTNY BREAKS OUT IN

Lansing, Kan, June 1S-(UP)- A prison mutiny, with the poten- tial threat of riot, broke today in the Kansas state prison coal mine pits.
 Deep in the prison mine. T2O feet below the ground, 29s prison CTS seized guards as hostages and isolated themselves.
 Three hours later no word had come from them and prison off, cials had not learned the cause of their grievance or their demands.
 Dozen Guards Held
 The prisoners held a dozen guards as hostages. Four other off, ficials who went into the shaft to determine the cause of the mutiny did nto return and no word came back from them over the single telephone wire the mutineers did not cut.
 Warden Lacey M. Simpson sta tioned two score guards, armed with tear gas bombs, at the head of the shaft and took personal charge.

 Leaders Sent Envoy
