Spokane, Wash, July 25.—A| thrilling escape from prison, a chase, | a suicide and a battle with conyiets| occurred at the State Penitentiary. | H. D. Smith, the savage murderer of Win.

Then he thought of his bicycle. So, when | ‘ he joined the chase, he was on his| » wheel and soon had overtaken and passed all the officers. And it was not long before he was overtaking Smith.

Several others swam out and helped the deputy take the body of the suicide to the shore. While the Sheriff, the jailer and all the deputies were standing about the corpse, there came ene running from the jail. “The prisoners are all escaping!” he shouted. “They are all in the court-yard, battering at the gate.” The corpse on the bank was deserted straightway and the run back to the jail was as hot as the run away. The Sheriff and his party lcoked through the barred outer door and saw that they did not come an instant too soon. The twenty-five desperadoes, find- ing the way was clear, had armed themselves with every iron and heavy wooden thing they could lay hands upon. Then they had assault. ed the one door that barred them from freedom. But this resisted them stoutly. They turned upon the brick wall of the inclosure, which ed for miles along the railroad with- out friends, homes or food, living on mesquite beans and branch water.

Judge, jurors and witnesses have died within a few short years. It is strange, too, that in New York City, in West Twenty- sixth street, stands a house that figured in the strange history. During the month of June, 188], there were boarding at that house four men who have since figured in jogged to the wire in 2:063, going the three quarters in 1:32.

C., July 24— Full orders telegraphed to General Coppinger are for him to issue the necessary orders for the movement ef such a force of troops as he shall deem requisite for carrying out the request of the Department of the Interior to prevent a conflict between the Indians in Wyoming and the white settlers, and to return the Indians to their proper reserva- tions. General Coppinger is instructed to proceed to the scene of the dis- turbance and to personally direct the operations of the troops. He is also advised that if he shall desire the use of the troops from other departments on account of their closer proximity he shall indicate to jthe War department the special force desired. The last mentioned instruction is given for the purpose of permitting General Coppinger to obtain troops from the Department of the Colorado or Columbia if con- sidered necessary’ Children Cry for Pitcher’s Castoria.

J., July 24.—Three human skeletons were unearthed this afternoon in the yard of Elijah Anderson, on Broad street, this city. tragic events, in which two lost their lives and two came very near doing 80. The first of these ‘men was the assassin of Garfield, Charles Guiteau, who, living in a little, dark hall room on the top floor, represented him- self as an insurance mau. Guiteau left about the middle of June to go to Washington, and soon after he assassinated Garfield. Another inmate of the strange house in West Twenty six street was Dr. Kimball, whose suicide under tragic circumstances is still remem- bered. The doctor had an assistant, a Mr. Waliace, who later went to practice at Ithica, N. H. He went to a barber shop to get shaved. The barber as he was stropping his razor, said “I think I will cut your throat.” Wallace jumped out of the chair, and at a glance saw that the man was insane. Wallace started on a run, but was overtaken, and then began a fierce struggle, which ended only when help arrived. The fourth unfortunate inmate ef the West Twenty sixth street house was M. B. Curtis, the actor, who was tried for shooting a policeman in San Francisco. After a stay of proceedings new evidence was se- cured and Curtis was acquitted. Curtis went to London some months ago asa refugee from justice, civil charges being preferred against him here. In England he essayed to resurrect his once successful play, “Sam 'l of Posen,” but when it was recently presented in London it proved a most disastrous failure. Curtis is now a bankrupt and an outcast in a foreign land. Absolutely Free. |_ Any reader of this paper can get The St. Louis Globe-Democrat Ab- solutely free for three months.
