(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.

"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. One spring j
he made 1ft snowshoe trips over
