June 20. (P) Forty-four convicts Kidnaped three guards at tho Clemens state prison farm near here early today and escaped. A few hours later three of them had been recaptured, two of them after they had been shut by a cattleman living In this vicinity of the farm. , The others are believed to have scattered and fled through the dense underbrush of the Brazos river bottoms. The break came alxmt 3:15 this morning. One of t.ie convicts se cured a pistol in some unknown manner and held up the guard in side the barracks where they were quartered. The convicts took the guard's shotgun and with the uid of the others In the barracks overpow ered two more guards at the farm. There are two barracks at the farm. One of them housed 4'J of the more hardened convicts. The other housed 150 or moreho are not regarded as dangerous. The first break occurred at the bar racks that huuscd the 4. According to prison farm offi cials, the ringleader of the break, whose name is not known, un shackeled the rest of the men in Ilia barracks Mid invited them ull to make a dash for freedom. Hushing fi'om their camp, the freed convicts opened the doors to the other barracks and Invited others to come along. Only two of the men In the larger barracks live said to have nceelited., Floe to Itlver The men then fled from tho farm in the direction of the river bottoms. About an hour elapsed while the convicts who had decided to stay In the camp sat around, fearing to ive the alarm. Finally a trusty entered from the barracks and ran to the alarm bell nearby. He pulled the bell cord and in a few minutes other guards and officials of the camp arrived. Alarms were sent out over the countryside. Peace officers formed posses to pursue the convicts. Three of the convicts came upon a negro at Kinkle's ferry, a few miles away. They forced the negro from his car, took five shots ut nim and started flown the road. The negro ran to the homo of a cattleman named Hinkle. who armed himself with a shotgun and Joined the chase. A fi-tv miles down the road he came upon the stalled car with the convicts try ing to fix It. He opened fire on them and wounded two, lccaptur . ing them. ' The third man to be recaptured was caught by the bloodhounds fn a corn field near tho prison farm, where he was hiding. The three guards that were forced to accompany the men were taken about lo or 15 miles from the farm ami one of them was forced to change clothes with a convict. The guards later made lluir way back to the prison farm. Kvery town within a radius of loo miles was notified of, the break, and many ot them sent posses to aid In the man hunt. Several Houston oft leers, armed with rifles, left early today for the farm, which is about GO miles from Houston. visitors at the home of Mr. , tho field only Hi days ago, alter they will enjoy a rew land Mrs. Kred Hartley. 1 nerving in Pannnin, resided in New trip. and Mrs. Kred Kick and York.

"Despite this plentitude of fish in the lake. Matt Uyckman. su perintendent of the state game commission's hatcheries, said the number of eggs taken from Dia mond k'ke trout this year would not be much more than half last year's number, owing, he jaid, to the late persistence of ice this year. Ordinarily. Diamond lake is covered by about lli inches of ice. Last winter's freeze was .i yard thick. "Diamond lake Is not, as many j persons suppose, on the east slope ; of the Cascades, but Is in Douglas county, west of the range summit. Surrounding it are lofty Mounts Thielsen and liailey and Diamond peak, all still snow covered this month. Where the east-approach road first touches the lake Is one of those always amazing streams which flow, full grown, out of the ground. This stream, called Short creek. Is bout 150 feet long and nearly as large as Portland's Johnson creek. "Something more than la years ago the state found Diamond lake barren of fish. The trout plant ed there then found so much food in the cold, healthy waters that they grew to be extraordinarily largo and fruitful. Kight years ago fishing the lake became so popular that Diamond lake re- sort was established. Five years ago Lloyd Tucker, who currently is in charge of the hatchery, first left his family at the McKenzie river hatchery and trekked into Diamond. Kvery year since h has been the first man to snow shoe over tho 2n-mile. route, fight ing blizzards, to begin the annual operations which repopulate Ore- j gon's trout waters.
