~~~ The third in a series of prison riots occurred at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, su air view of which is shown here, where one prisoner was killed and several injured in w zlot which broke out while the inmates were at their noon meal. Evidently, food and too much discipline were t the causes and, when the convicts sat down to a meal of Spanish rice for the thousandth time," rebellion stirred within them and firet one com-plained, then another, until a general riot began, with dynamite ex- plosions which rapidly turned into an inferno. - After several hours' battle with the mutineers pri- son officers finally cornered them in one cell-block and compelled them to surrender
