Knives and clubs were wielded as the insurgent prisoners, led by a giant negro, fired workhouses in a desperate bid for freedom. Prisoners during the height of the disturbance picked up Emil Jacques, a guard, and threw him, already suffering from knife wounds, bodily into the flames of their own creating. Sheets of fire shot high in the air as the incendiarism reached its height, and roofs of whole workshops fell into the flames. Nine guards and four convicts suffered injuries and two lives were threatened during the fierce but brief outbreak in the grev- walled prison on Ile Jesu, 15 miles from Montreal. The negro riot-leader was dragged uncon- ood causes, it is anticipated | that the collection at the game ! will swell the Poppy Fund total to a considerable extent.

It is thought the fire originated six days ago from the hot cinders of a locomotive fire- Lox.
