a dash through the streets of J. ftar- 1Z
son City under fioe, only to be captur- w
ed after two of the escaped men bad -j
been wounded. Five prisoners, tak- t|
ing advantage of the absence of War sj
den Hall and six guards, who left ^
with 71 federal prisoners for Fort u'
Leavenworth. Kans., attempted to es- iC
c&pe, but only four left the prison Dj
after wrecking the gate.
Convicts Harry vaugnn, unaries 3(
Raymond, Hiram Blake, George Ryan 3

B. See's offloe and shot him In the arm c(
and the hip as he sat in a chair. He n
sank back helpess and the convicts bt
rushed to the gate where they met of
Gateman John Clay. Before Clay &i

ran to Clay's assistance and was shot af
dead. ol

with them. Taey slammed tbe gate 01
close and fastened It. Z jigier wat> 0t

troglycerine under the outside gate d
and blew an opening through the p]
steel doors. The four men crawled U]
through this rupture and daubed tt
through a number of trusty convicts te
who were working In the street. hi
Almost before the fcur escaped st
oonvlcts had covered a block priso- tr
cffioers were in punu't shooting m
they ran. The chase kept on for a t
dozen blocks, the convicts outrunning of
their pursuers. ti
Near the Missouri Pacific railway er
depot the convlots came up with a Cb
wagon driven by Orvllle Line tt
Jumping into this wagon tbe desper g;
adoee seized Lane and used him as a m
shield from the bullets of their pur tt
suers. O ie convict lashed tbe horse Pc
Into a run and escape seemed ure, Co
when suddenly a t quad of ci y police- W]
men atd armed cit;z?ns appeared and ed
stopped the horse. Sbellding them t/b

fought the policemen.
Yollej after volley was fl red In the m

The policeman sheltering themseives ta
behind trees, spllntlred the wagon, j
finally putting a bullet* through su

Two months ago dates the advent
j of the Ludden & Bates Piano Club in
the city of Savannah and the country
around. At that time we chose the
e Ludden & Bates Piano Club as our
i method of introducing the New Scale
o $400 Ludden & Bates Piano to the pubb41
lie. S nee its first organization and a
e few, people were permitted, to know
k the merits of this elegant piano it has
. been almost impossible for us to supt
ply the demand for It. Ludden &
Bates Pianos have been sold ove? the
e entire Fouth for the past 20 years, but
t never before have we been able to offer
the public such value, such piano
f satisfaction, at a popular price and on
e such easy terms of payments.
t The New scale ?400 L.uaaen csc Bates
Piano appeals alike to musician and
0s -mechanic. As a medium of corrobora?
ting our claia.s for it at that time the
" piano hss allowed no doubt to remain
* even in the mind of the most skeptical
I as to the justice of our reputation to
, make good eviry promise giveh or
d every responsibility we assume
D The New Scale 1400 Ludden & Bates
r Club Piano is "WARRANTED FOR
t A LIFETIME" andjor the past 35
years the name "Ludden & Bates" has
ttood for truth, and this instrument
' in its embodiment of truth is our emr>
blem.
3 MUSICIANS HAVE CBOSEN IT
I, ?beca1 se it met their demands in
e every particular. Its resonance of
e tone, sympathetic quality and wonderful
sustaining power, with its evenness
of touch, have made it alike the favor*
ite of singer and player.
f BUSINESS ME ST HAVE SELECTe
P.n IT?heransa in all its mechanical
3 appearances it has r<>ach< d the standard
of workmanship, and combining
its artistic qualities with its pleasing
design of case, it offers them A MAXIMUM
OF VALUE FOR A MINIMUM
