LONDON, July 3
A remarkable story of the seizure of a gaol by two men is reported from Dundalk. Two men arrived at Dundalk on Saturday evening on a light engine from Drogheda, and proceeded to the prison where one guarded the gate, while the other whom his companion addressed as Commandant, held up the warders with a revolver in each hand. A warder, under threat of shooting, was compelled to release three prisoners, prominent Irregulars, whom the 1' ree Staters had captured at Drogheda on Monday. The leading warder was locked up in a room. The armed men and the released men departed in the engine without opposition.
