escapes Oo On Their
Way Ln-
molested.
Salt Lake, Oct. 13. At 8 o'clock to
night James Lynch and Nick Haworth,
the two men under death sentences for
murder, who succeeded in effecting
their escape from the state priiion here,
were still at large. Posses with blood
hounds have scoured the hills north
and east of this city w ithout finding
any definite trace of the two men, and
tonight the prosiiect of their capture is
not so bright. Both of the escaped
convicts arc well armed, and, as they
are thoroughly desperate, it is believed
neither will be taken alive.
Iayton, the convict killed by one of
the guards, was buried today in the
prinon burial 'gronud. When bis cloth
ing was searched, a slungshot weighing
about a pound and a half was found.
A similar weapon was found in Abe
Majors' cell.
Guards Wile-ken and Jacobs, who
were wounded during the fight, are now
in the hospital. Jacobs was badly in
jured about the head, having four scalp
wounds and a cat on the chin. Wilck-
en, who was shot while fighting Majors
on the prison wall, has a bullet wound
in the right leg near the hip, which
may necessitate amputation of the
limb. The wounded convicta am all
doing well, and will recover.
I The prison officinls are unable to ex
plain how the revolvers were smuggled
into the prison, but sav the wearmnn
were undoubtedly taken in by some of
the many callers at the penitentiary
during the last week.
Governor Wells has offered a reward
of 1500 each for the recantum ol Ha.
worth and Lynch, and the prison an.
thorities have offered an additional
$100, making a total of 00 for either
man.
NOT TOO LATE VET.
War Between Rnsala and Janaai r..
Very Easily Prevented.
Berlin, Oct. 13 Russia and Japan
act as though either would fight if the
other should hold immovably to th
position taken at the last exchange of
communications. This is the actual
situation as understood officially from
reports received from the German em
bassy at St. Petersburg and the German
legation at Tokio. Y'et this mutual at
titude at hostile preparations "by both
countries is still regarded here as not
excluding an honorable arrangement.
Neither government has gone so far
that it must fight or lie humiliated, but
either cabinet by a single step can put
the other in that position. Thi. deli
cate balance may, of course, be violent
ly disturbed any day, though no ulti
matum has yet been thrown on either
side.
Hit is believed here officially that war,
siioum ii occur, wouui tie Detween Rus
sia and Japan alone, and that neither
England nor France would be involved.
