Details Hard to (let.
Plaeerville, Cal., I ?
Reports of an encounter between
the law ollicors and the 13 c >n
vict* who escaped from Folsom
prison at e being received tonight,
but owing to the remoteness of the
scene of the battle, and the fact
that night fell almost immediately
following the receipt of the first
news, details are coming in slowly.
It is known, however, that the
sheriff's posse, assisted by a force
of the Placorvillc militia, came
upon the fugitives near the Grand
Victory mine about dusk, and
shots wero exchanged.
Dull us Bosquit, the son of Sheriff
Bosquit, is said to bo umoug
the slain, and a message by telephone
says his body was found
along the roadside. Militiaman
Dill was shot through the body,
and is not expected to recover.
The greatest anxiety prevails here
concerning the safety of the soldiers.
It is known that six of them

was unahle to give any clue concerning
his companions. The con.victs
are believed to have taken
refuge in the Grand Victory
mine, and there is talk of settiug
fire to it and driving out the criminals.
Additional forces are being
hurried to the mine. Another account
of the battle reached liraiuard
F. Smith, chief clerk of the
Kolsom prison. He was notified
that three of the attacking party
were killed, and that it was presumed
two of tho convicts were
badly wounded:
The killed are presumed to be
Biosquit, Dill and one of the
sheriff's posse. Thesecnoof shooting
was near Cool,a small place a
few miles outside of Placorville.
