Bf CLARKE THOMAS Journal Staff Writer One State Reformatory inmate was shot and seriously injured as guards herded 100 rampaging prisoners into their cell blocks Friday afternoon. The 12:35 p.m. riot in the yard followed an all morning sit down strike by about half of the institution's inmates. Within minutes after the shots were fired the inmates were reported to be back in their cells. During the short lived disturbance in the yard, prisoners set a two alarm fire which gutted the Reformatory carpentry shop.

A strong wind whipped the flames and billowing black smoke over the entire institution. An inmate who identified himself as Louis Morales, 23, of San Antonio, was carried out on a stretcher shortly after shots rang out as the rampage was being quelled.
