Rawllngs, Oct. 14 Heavily armed, a
half dozen or more criminals were said
to be trapped In a canyon south of
here today and a battle between these
men and tho posse which camped ln
the hills lust night is momentarily ex
pected. The men hiding were among
the convicts who escaped from tho
state penitentiary here late yesterday
and fled down the main streets of the
town terrorizing men, women and chil
dren. Pausing In their flight to loot
a livery stable of horses, they sped to
the hills before the citizenB could give
chase. The total number of escapes
cannot be known definitely until the
prison roll is called and the number
of casualties is unknown, due to the
excitement Antone Rasco. a Mexican,

A battle raged early last night in
the state penitentiary. Locked Inside
the walls with hundreds of mutinous
prisoners, a few guards fought des
perately to restore order and prevent
a wholesale jail delivery.
Camped outside tho walls was a
force of citizens heavily armed, ready
to drive back the convicts if they
murdered the remaining guards and
made a rush through the gates. Shots
and occasional shouts told of fighting
within the walls, and it was rumored
that several guards and convicts were
killed.
Another battle was ln progress at
the same time In the hills south of
ftawlings, tietween a posse of citizens
and from 20 to 40 escaped prisoners.
Two men were killed ln the streets of
Bnwllngs, one was desperately wound
ed, and the two convicts were cap
tured, following the escape of from
10 to 30 prisoners ln the afternoon.
The town Is in a panic. Telegrams
were sent to Governor Carey Implor
ing him to send state troops to pro
tect the citizens. Townspeople bar
ricaded themselves In their homes
last night or, heavily anned, pa
trolled the streets.
The outbreak Sunday was the sec
ond within 24 hours. About S p. m.

The work of Improvement on the
city Jail, which has been going on for
the past several weeks under the di
rection of . A. M. Goodlake, has been
completed and Saturday was received
by the aldermarle committee which
has the oversight of this department
The Improvements have been exten
sive and have resulted In making
practically a. new Jail ln the space oc
cupied by the old one.
As now arranged the jail Is modern
In every respect, Is sanitary, more or
less comfortable and well ventilated.
It is as nearly fireproof as such a
building can be, being almost alto
gether of steel and concrete.
The sanitary features are. at once
noticeable. The concrete floor of the
jnll slopes toward the center, where
there Is a waste pipe, and the whole
may be flushed with a hose. There
are two shower baths for the prls
oners. At the entrance to the Jail there Is
the cage of the desk sergeant, where
the "guests" are registered. They
pass by the cage Into the "bull pen,"
a triangular room, where the mass of
prisoners may be kept. Tners Is a row
of steel cages on the ground floor snd
the same number on top of them.
There art two cages In another row,
and this row mny be extended so us
to nlinost double the mire upaee.
