George Sontag Leads a Desperate Dash for Liherty. mikuienm, nine 27. -A rolsotn special received this alternoon con taint'd the following: At t: to this alternoon a gang of convicts, employed in the upper quarry, next to the head gate ol the big dam, consisting 01 George Sontag, his cousin, John Son tag, the bandic life-termers, Russell Williams, Ben Wilson and Charley Abbott and a ten year c tnvlct, named Dalton, suddenly seiaed Frank Briare a lieutenant of the guard, put a uisto to his head, and started together to run up the hill. Before reaching the top of the hill, it was developed that they had two Win chestei nfles and an additional revolver which had been concealed among the rock Si Up to this time the guards had be n unable to shoot, as Briare was in the grasp of the would beescapers, and is they were closely banded together, shot might mean death to him, lust hefere reaching the summit of the hill Briare jerked away and the guau opened lire from all duections. The convicts took to the rocks, cor cealed themselves as best thiy could incl relumed the hie as rapidly as possible. 'The regular guard was soon reinforced by reserves from ihe prisoi and a terrific fight took place, which lasted fully half an hour, during which time shots were Bred indiscriminately (mm oatling guns, Winchesters and revolvers as rapidly as triggers could be pulled on ihetii Iro n van mis guards The convict! had procured plenty of ammunition, and. hiding behind Ihe rocks, tired rapidly, but they were no expert shots, and none of the bullets struck the guards, although the leaden missiles hummed ah ml the uiiard houses in perilous proximity. Sontag, who held a r.rle in his hands, was bias ing away, when a bullet from one of the guards struck him near the heart. He fell at once and is believed to be mortally wounded. The battle raged furiously and the greatest excitement prevailed among the other convicts, Three were killed, and Wesland and Williams, two life termers, were the mxt to fall, and both died instantly. Dal ton. another convict, dropped a second later. Three others of the desperate prisoners were shot, all probably fatally, the wounds being near v tal parts. The convicts who escaped the bul lets of the guards lost heart at the sight of the carnage a 1 1 around them, and at the end of ab nit thirty minutes one ol the convicts held up his hat on a rifle as a token of surrender, and Warden Aull, Captain Murphy and 1 few guards advanced to the convicts' stronghold, where they found Williams, Wilson and Dalton stretched out dead on the ground. George S uilag was badly wounded by three or fmir bullets. He had one bad shut through the body and two through the thighs, Vbbott was groaning with a broken leg. AN EXTRA SESSION.
