The appeal says a St. Louis trust

A letter from that trust company
says the time has come when Fort

west and thus open up new fields for
business. It enlarges on the value of
that tTade teritory to the city and calls
attention to the fact that if the line

Rawling’s Wyo., Oct. 14.—A battle
. aged early last night in the state pen-
tentiary. Locked inside the walls,
with hundreds of mutinous prisoners,
a few guards fought desperately to re-
store order and prevent a wholesale
jail delivery.
Camped outside the walls was a
force of citizens, heavily armed, ready
to drive back the convicts if they mur-
dered the remaining guards and made
a rush through the gates. Shouts and
occasional shots told of desperate
fighting with the walls, and it was
rumored that several guards and con-
victs were killed.
Another battle was in progress at
the same time in the hills south of
Rawlings, between a posse of citizens
and from twenty to forty escaped pris-
oners. Two men were killed in the,
streeta of Rawlings, one was desper-
ately wounded and two convicts were
recaptured, following the escape of
from ten to thirty prisoners Sunday
afternoon.
The town was in a panic. Frantic
telegrams were sent to Governor Ca-
rey, now at Sheridan, Imploring him
to send state troops to protect the cit-
izens. Townspeople barricaded them-
selves in their homes, or heavily arm-
ed, patrolled the streets.,
The outbreak Sunday was the sec-
ond within twenty-four hours. About
three o’clock Saturday twenty pris-
oners escaped and nine were recap-
tured before 8 o'clock. At 2:30 Sun-
day afternoon u party of desperate
life-termers overpowered the keeper
of the cellhouse, took his keys and
released their comrades from their
cells. Every prisoner willing to risk
a battle with the guards made a rush
for the gates.
A moment later the citizens of the
town heard a fusillade of shots inside
the walls. A bedlam of shouts and
yells echoed from the prison: A few
seconds later more than a dozen men
dashed down the main street armed
with guns and knives. Holding the
few citizens on the street at bay with
revolvers, they charged into a livery
barn, holding up the proprietor and
hastily throwing saddles and bridles
on the horses.
A huge negro with a revolver, was
eft as guard on the outside. Charles
Stressner, a barber, had heard the
commotion and came down the street
with a shotgun. The negro shot him
hrough the head, killing him instant-
ly.
At the sound of the shot the con
victs swarmed from the barn, some
with stolen horses and some afoot. A
Mexican wantonly stabbed the propri-
etor In the face, severely wounding
him, and a few seconds later paid for
the deed with his life. Hugh Rogrnr.
a deputy sheriff, shot him twice, kil-
ling him almost instantly.
Leaving their dying comrade, the
convicts made a dash for the rocky
hills south of the town. A party of
penitentiary guards followed iu close
pursuit, and before the bewildered cit-
izens had had time to form a posse,
pursuers and fugitives had disappear-
ed among the hills.
In a short time posse* had been
formed, and one of the most desperate
man hunts in the history of the west
was on The convicts scattered Into
small groups, ail striving to escape in
the almost Impassable stretch of
rocky country between here and the
Colorado line. Until nightfall A run-
ning battle was kept up, and late last
night occasional volleys of shots In
the distance told of the progress of
the man hunt.
Just before nightfall six convicts
were located in a canyon about a mile
south of Rawlings. Twenty deputies,
each armed with two revolvers and a
repeating rifle, were sent to capture
or kill them. The deputies reached
the spot and found the convicts barri-
caded. ready for battle. Deciding that
an attack In the dark was too dan-
gerous, the officers surrounded the
stronghold of the desperadoes and
waited for daylight before closing In
