‘a search of five hours nothing has WARDEN KIDNAPPED, PRISONERS ESCAPE Four Convicts Make Break in §, D. ~ Prison, Taking Chie! - Sioux Falls, 8, D, Aug. 18.—Some- where in the vieinity of Bloux Falls Warden George T. Jameson of the @outh Dakota penitentiary is being held by four convicts who escaped ‘Wedneaday afternoon from the prison after an affray in which Deputy n Arthur Muchow was knifed and ® prison guard was wounded, The four who escapéd, Joseph Teel, Joseph Forman, J. B. King and Henry Coffee, a negro, started a fight with the deputy warden in the tailor shop of the prison. Hearing the distur- bance, Warden Jameson hurried to the shop, ‘where he was -beaten by the prisoners and then, with a knife pressed against his breast, was forced to give werd to the guards in the penitentiary to let him and the con- viets through. Once outside the prison wah the fugitives jumped into an automobile which was standing near and drove rapidly away, the warden being forced to accompany them, According to prison officlals, the four who escaped hold the reputation of being the bad men of the prison. Forman, who is said to have en neered and led the attack on the ofM- cials, has given them trouble for months. When first taken to the prison, having been sentenced to a term of seven years for grand lar- ceny, the efficers had to wait three months hefore they could get his fin- ger' prints or a good photograph, as he continually pricked the ends of his fingers and distorted the muscles of his face when he was taken before the phetographer. : The other three men are all serving terms for grand larceny and burglary. What started the fight in the tailor shop of the prison could not be learned. Prison officlals said last night that they believed it was the first intention of the escaped con- victs to take the deputy warden with them in their break for liberty but that when they saw Warden Jame- gon they changed their plans. It was said that the four had a grudge against the deputy warden. Muchow was cut four times, receiving a gash below the right eye, a flesh wound on the right side and two deep cuts on the left side just below the ribs. THos- pital attendants sald that the deep cuts just missed the liver. In Sioux Falls and the surruun‘dlnx towns, when the news of the escape was telephoned, posses of county, state and city officials were hastily formed. Several posses were also sent out from the local post of the American Le- gion. It was learned that after getting into the car near the prison the es- caped men went north for a few miles and then turned west to Ellis, six miles distant. Northeast of Ellis the car burned out a bearing. The fugitives abandoned it and went to a farmhouse, where they took a Ford touring car to continue their flight. Warden Jameson, when last seen leaving the prison gate, was bleeding from a cut'in the face, but it is thought that he is not injured se- verely or the convicts would not have carried him so far with them The bregk for liberty was made at 8:30 o'clo in the afternoon. After been learned of the whereabouts of the fugitives since leaving the farm- house near Ellis. The four men are armed only with knives, but it is belleved that they will make an attempt to obtain more formidable weapons.
