INTEREST CENTERS
IN FOOTBALL MATCH
(Continued Fxom Page Eleven.)
ond one would not be lost, but would
be won by a big score With thla end
In view both teaiba are doing their ut
most to be In shape for the big fray.
Multnomah held a long and vigorous
practice last evening with a full team
present. The Seattle boys are equally
aa confident as the locals and a little
bit more. One of the Seattle papers
ays:
"As the date draws near for the big
game on Multnomah field on New Tear's
day between the local athletic club and
the M. A. A. C. which will not only be
the final but the. largest and most telling
scrimmage, many queries are heard as to
the chances of the team from this city
and wht outcome may be looked for.
Both teams are in the finest possible
condition and both are eager to carry
off a victory. A victory for the Seattle
Athletic club will mean a clean seaaon
of unbroken wins, with one tie with the
state U." With the Multnomahs a vic
tory amounta to slmost a necessity fn
order to maintain tbe season's standing,
of which they have been so proud.
"As to the field the locals will be per
fectly at home, as they come from a
comparatively wet and soggy ground to
one' with a base of clay and a surface of
sawdust and dirt. Their game should be
strengthened by the change. It haa been
the complaint of the southerners inj their
recital of the losing of the game with
tbe locals on the 17th. that the ground,
which was rather soft, was the main
cause of their downfall and that the
possibility of a quick formation waa out
of the question.
"From the local standpoint the chances
are very good of bringing home a victory,
as the line which so persistently waded
through the southerners In their game
In this city Is even further strengthened,
and can now present what should be an
almost Impregnable front and defense to
the onslaughts of tbe Oregon men. Roll
er, who made such fierce gains through
the line of the visitors In the last game,
changing It from tbe feared stone wall
formation to a rugged hedge, will make
the trip and will give the fan of the
River city a chance to see life exhibi
tion of strenuous line-bucking and heady
dsfenae. All of the men who will make
the trip will be glanta who have played
and who are In the finest possible shape
for the post-season scrimmage.
"In the Oregon team line-up the
changes consist of the placing of
Murphy the. Hat field at quarter,
Pratt at right tackle and Stott at right
end.'

Two Little Sons of the Democratic Archduke of Austria Working as Car
penters.
(Special ntspatrk to Th. Journal.)
Folsom, Cel., Deo. (0. Three convicts
dead and four others riddled with bul
lets, with small chances of recovery. Is
the result of sn attempt made by nine
desperate men to escape from the peni
tentiary yesterday afternoon. The dead
and wounded men were part of a' gang ot
more than (00 convlcta working at the
rock crusher.
Those killed:
IL C HI Lit. of Placer county, under
sentence of (( years for robbery.
J. QUINLiAN of San Francisco, serv
ing 11 years for robbery.
W. MORA I.KS of Marlon county, un
der sentence for robbery.
The following prisons, who joined
In tbe desperate break for Ubery, were
badly wounded and are expected to die:
1). Kelley of San Francisco, serving a
sentence of eight years for robbery.
E. Queyade, from Loa Angelas, serv
ing a life sentence for murder.
W. P. Penley. from Mendocino county,
serving life sentence for murder.
Slightly wounded: '
Charles Carson, from Marin county,
serving life sentenoe for robbery.
Quiet reigns at the penitentiary to
day, the killing of those who attempted
to break from prison having had a
salutary effect. The men were sent to
their usual tasks this morning obeying
the orders of the guarda without hesi
tancy Ths condition of Guards Jolly
snd Murphy Is Improved. The four-
wounded convicts are resting wen, al
though Kelley and Quajadas have but
alight chances of recovery.
Since the successful attempt from
Folsom prison a year ago last July, and
of which thla break was along similar
Unas, a guard of expert shots haa been
on duty, with Instructions to shoot, and
shoot to kill, and also to shoot regard
less of ths possible danger to Innocent
persons who might possibly be within
range.
Under the very noses of Captalq Mur
phy, who was acting as overseer, and
Charles Jolly, Charlea Taylor, 1.. Daley
and M. Hogan, who were employed In
seeing that the convicts performed their
work, a sledgehammer waa thrown into
the crusher, bringing it to a standstill,
which immediately attracted Murphy's
attantlon and. together with Taylor and
Jolly, hs Immediately went to the
crusher. An Immediate rush was made
by the convicts In the plan to escape, to
seise the three men, but Taylor eluded
them. Murphy and Jolly, however, were
seised by the desperate men. The other
free men eacaped. The point at which
this scene was enacted waa under cover
and the action of the convicts could not
bs seen by the armed suaxds. who wero
stationed on the outside near by.
With the two captured men aa
shields the convicts immediately made
their way toward the guards on the
outside. The first man approached was
guard W. H. Harris. Two of ths wen
had Jolly In front of them nd Captain
Murphy was surrounded by five other
convlcta The convicts were armed with
knives, with which to kill their captive
should they make the least effort to es
cape. In less than 20 seconds after ths
men appeared in view or the guards,
with their captives, the seven convlcta
wr lying on the ground riddled with
bullets. Acting on strict Instructions to
Ore regardless of consequences, the.
guarda began shooting at the first in
tim.ith.n or the real state of affairs.
The action of the men was charactsr
lxed with the boldness of desperation.
Immediately upon reaching a point
within 40 feet of one of the guard, one
of the convicts shouted:
"Hand out your gun, or we will stab
Murphy to the heart."
Guard Harris was the one addressed.
Instead of obeying he Immediately fired,
the convict dropping to the ground. He
followed his first shot with others in
rapid succession at the remaining pris
oners, who were using Murphy and Jolly
aa shields. One of them, known as
"Rough House" Kelly, bore Captain
Murphy to the ground, falling under
neath the overseer, and made a strong
effort to keep the captain's body be
tween himself and the guard. The cap
tain coolly wriggled himself to one side,
leaving the convict exposed, and a bul
let from Harris' gun stretched him mo
tionless on the ground.
Over 100 Shots Fifed.
During this time it is estimated that
100 shots had been fired by the other
guards, and the other convicts In tho
dash for liberty were lying dead or
wounded near by.
Only two of the bullets caused Injury
to others besides the convlcta Captain
Murphy sustained a slight wound In the
leg and Jolly waa struck In the neck,
the bullet passing . .through his cheek.
His wound, while painful. Is not at this
time considered of a fatal character.
Two other convicts were In the plan
to escape, but at the last moment their
courage failed, to which Tact tney 1
all probability owe their lives.
In order to make their escape the men
would have had to pass a long distance
before reaching a point remote from
danger, as the territory they had to
cross was well lined with armed guarda.
The evident Intention of the desperate
men was to secure one or more rifles
from the guards and thus he la a posi
tion to fight their way out. although
they were armed' with big. dangerous
looking knives. Where these were pro
cured by the convicts Is not knbwn, but
It Is thought the wetoons have be"n
concealed In the rochptle for some time,
and their whereabouts known only to
those In tho plot.
The warden was In his office, and at
the sound of the flint shot, with revolver
In hand. Joined the guarda and ordered
them to continue the shooting. The
guards' DMUM Harris Who joined In the
shooting were J. Woods, J. W. Wiley. U
nderson. W. Oallagher. O. C. Iewls
snd T. Foley.
