Cook of this county and Deputy Sheriff
Williams were captured by two es-
caped convicts from the Leavenworth
military prison yesterday nftemoan at
Pauline five miles south of Topeka
and held prisoners In the farm house
of a man named Wooster for several
hours They finally escaped between
a line of police sent from Topeka to
reinforce the sheilff and are now at
large Both men are slightly wounded
Wooster was badly wounded by one
of the convicts when ho tiled to fire
on them Airs Wooster and Sheriff
Cook were held before the convicts as-
a shield by the prisoners in making
their escape A posse Is in pursuit
At 230 In the afternoon some of the
farmer boys near Pauline learned that
the convicts were in the neighborhood
Hastily forming a posse armed with
target rifles pistols and clubs they
gave chase Neither of the convicts
was armed nnd thev were unable to
make a stand Later Sheriff Cook and
Deputy Williams ni rived Coming
upn the convicts both of the officers
fired wounding the men but not dis-
abling them
The convicts then fled through a
small opening In the timber and ran
Into the house of Farmer Wooster
Sheriff Cook telephoned to Topeka for
assistance and then took up the chase
Thinking the convicts had run around
the house Cook darted through the
open door Intending to surprise them
at the rear door But Instead of this
the convicts had gone into the house
and the officer almost fell into their
aims
Sheriff Cook was ordered to give up
his gun which he did Deputy Wil-
liams by this time had reached the
house and entered without knowing
what had happened inside and he too
was made captive by the convicts In
the meantime Chlef Stahl of Topeka
wth eight officers were oni their wnyi
They nrrlved at the Wooster house
about an hour after the officers had
been captured Chief Stahl immedi-
ately began negotiations with tho con-
victs to give up their prisoners and
to surrender themselves but the con
victs only laughed Farmer Woostei
then managed to get a gun and was
about to make an attack on the con-
victs when one of them laid him low
with the butt of a levolver taken from
one of their captives The convict
broke Woostei right hand and cut an
ugly gash in his head
One of the convicts told Sheriff
Cook that he would kill hlra if he made
the lightest move looking toward
their capture In the meantime the
pollco ofllceis on the outside had sur
rounded the building but were nfiald
to make a move for fear that Cook
and WlUiams would suffer
Mrs Wooster had fainted during tho
excitement She finally revived and at
7 oclock the convicts placed the wo
man and Sheriff Cook in fiont of
them as shields and made for the
door
Then after exacting a prpmlse from
the sheriff that he Would not permit
any of the officers outside to fire on
them they started for the open As
they left the bouse the frightened
farmers wife and the submissive sher-
iff before them the convicts passed
between a cordon of police who could
have easily captured them and staited
for the railroad track The sheriff
sad in turn exacted a promise from
the police that they would not molest
the convicts and they did not
After covering themselves a consider-
able distance down the track the con-
victs suddenly disappeared through a
hedge fence bidding the officers a
mocking farewell One of the police
sergeants said later that be could eas-
ily have touched the leading convict
with his hand as he passed
The convicts had secured a good
start before the offlcershnd recovered
from their surprise Then some of the
policemen wanted to pursue but Sher-
iff Cook would not permit It as he
had promised the convicts Immunity
from arrest
