ALARM GIVEN
BY PRISONER

Then the men grabbed the war
den and forced their way outside.
But the guards were tipped off,
and they were gathering there. The
tower guards started shooting. They
knew they didn't have a chance
then so one Of them stabbed the
warden couple of times and
Jumped back. The guards closed in,
their clubs swinging.
From then on couldn't see any,
thing except guards and convicts
in a fighting, tearing mass of men.
It was over in few minutes with
the fellows who tried to escape
either shot down or dubbed lln-

Valley Unaffected
By Mexican Tax

A new three per cent surtax on
all imports to Mexico will not affect
Imperial Valley concerns dealing
with Mexican consumers, business
men here agreed Monday.
The Mexican treasury depart
ment last week refused the United
States governments request for an
executive postponment of the tax
on the grounds that the Mexican
congress alone is empowered to take
such action.
Since most Imperial Valley con-
Germs send goods to Mexico which
cannot be obtained there, no loss
in business was anticipated. The
only result will be that Mexican
consumers must pay the tax on
goods they buy from dealers here,
said the Ben Hulse Implement COM
pany.

Three Killed i'm
RiOting at Prison

Robert Lee Cannon, suffered skull
fractures.
Even though they recover from
their bullet wounds and injuries
inflicted by the weighted canes with
which guards beat them into un-
consciousness, death appeared GER
tain penalty for the five surviving
members of the convict gang.
District Attorney Otis D. Babcock
of Sacramento said first degree
murder complaints would be filed
against all the survivors today or
tomorrow.
The attempted break lasted only
ten minutes. The heroes were War
den Larkin, who ordered guards to
shoot at the rebellious convictS al
though they were holding him hos
tage, and an unnamed convict-clerk,
who spread the alarm throughout
the guard watch towers.
Signal for the break came while
Warden Larkin and Captain Ryan
were interviewing 40 prisoners who
were in a line leading to Ryan's
office in a prison annex building
Eudy was in the line. When Eudy
stepped up to the window in front
of the desk where Larkin was sit
ting, he pushed a convict clerk in
the face. That was the signal for
his six conspirators to rush into
Ryan's office.
While the other prisoners retreat
ed, booing and cheering alternately,
the seven desperadoes overpowered
Larkin, Stabbing him several times
Ryan resisted until he was stabbed
and subdued.
The seven convicts were armed
with fake wooden pistols, knives
and clubs. Guards Kean and Mar
tin rushed in to assist Larkin and
Ryan, just as the convicts marched
their captiveS outside the building.
Stevens assuming command, said
to Larkin:
"Tell your gun tower guards to
hold ther fire while we take you
and Ryan outside the prison"
"That wont do any good" Larkin
replied. "The guards have orders
to fire regardless of who is being
held hostage"
Meanwhile, the convict clerk
sneaked outside the building
through a back door. He signaled
the guard tower directly over the
captains office and then ran to
other stations spreading the alarm.
The prison yard was in bedlam.
