MUTINY
OF CONVICTS
And a General Delivery In the
Wyoming Penitentiary.
PITCHED BATTLE FOUGHT.
Two Citizens Of Rawlins Are
Shot Down In Street and
Another Was Wounded.
Rawlins, Wyo Oct. 14. A gen
eral mutiny raged in the penitentl-v k
ary here yesterday, during which 40
convicts escaped. A pitched battle
took place inside the walls and many
fights outside.
Two men were killed in the streets
of Rawlins, one was desperately
wounded and two convicts were re
captured, following the escape of
from ten to thirty prisoners this af
ternoon. The outbreak was the
second in the last 24 hours. About
3 p. m. Saturday twenty prisoners
escaped and nine were re-capturecK
before 8 o'clock.
A general man hunt is on. Per
sons coming into town from the
Bouth bring stories of a reign of ter
ror in the country districts. Riders
have been sent to the ranches for a
radius of several miles, warning the
owners to be prepared to defend'
their property. Several parties who
went south on horseback or in car
riages returned afoot, their horses
having been stolen by the convicts.

discovered that the banks were
closed and business was suspended
until Monday. The day otherwise

The Cut-Out Plan.
In this county every effort is be
ing made to get the tobacco raisers
to join the association under a three
year pledge. With the biggest crop
on hand ever raised, probably, it is
no wonder that the growers are
walking the floor. They should have
"walked" some before they set out
their big acreage, They've caught
the white elephant, now what are
they to do with it? The cut-out
plan has never been seriously con
considered here, but it looks now as
if that plan will be the best next
year and in 1914. Nicholas county
is wrestling with the problem, as
will be seen from a dispatch from
the county seat of that county.
Cutting out the 1913 crop of to
bacco is being agitated in Nicholas
county, and a meeting of the grow
ers in this county has been called to
be held here Saturday, Oct. 12, for
the purpose of electing delegates
from this county to attend the cut
out meeting at Lexington Oct. 16.
As the question is just beginning to
be considered here it is impossible
yet to tell how the Nicholas county
growers will decide.
