Early Saturday afternoon, the two men broke into a Tonganoxie home, bound and gagged the three occupants and stole weapons, money, clothing and a pickup truck, a Leavenworth County sheriff's officer said.
The stolen weapons were a meat cleaver, a large knife and a ball peen hammer.
A Kansas State Penitentiary official said the two escaped men were considered armed and dangerous.

is a 'reputation issue,'" said Dr. Richard Keeling, director of student health services at the University of Virginia. "If, for example, a school seemed to have an overly liberal policy with AIDS victims, then it might attract certain groups and not others as students."
Campus health officials hope, therefore, that they can present as united a front as possible on dealing with AIDS.
School authorities say they are struggling to strike a balance between the rights and well-being of AIDS victims and the rights of the community community. Whatever decisions lawsuits are always a possibility.
Education, rather than policymaking, has been the dominant theme of campus AIDS programs so far.
Medical director Taylor said an AIDS committee was recommending
that students who tested positive for the AIDS virus, but who had no symptoms, should be allowed to continue normal campus life.
Those with more advanced cases, including individuals with contagious skin lesions, will be asked to withdraw, he said. Faculty with adaption would be put on sick leave. If they recover, they can return to classes.
Friends eulogize civic leader
By Liz Maggard Of the Kansan staff
Arthur B. Weaver, a noted Lawrence businessman and civile leader, was remembered yesterday by family and friends as a generous man with a love of people and a ready sense of humor.
Mr. Weaver, 91, died Thursday at Lawrence Memorial Hospital, after a cardiac arrest at his home, 737 Indiana St.

Jane Veatch Barber, 753 Sunset Drive, one of Mr. Weaver's nieces, said yesterday that although her uncle had a serious side, his sense of humor was always evident.
"Uncle Art was a kidder," she said. "I remember he used to like to flip water on people. He always had a story and a joke, whatever the occasion."
Barber also said her uncle helped those whom he saw in need, but some of his contributions went unmentioned.
"He helped everyone," she said.
"But he did it so quietly, no one knew."
Henderson said Mr. Weaver had made one such contribution to the Plymouth Congregational Church, 925 Vermont St., during the 1930s when the church didn't have the funds to hire a janitor.
Henderson said Mr. Weaver had paid one of his store employees, Charles Hill, to take care of the church until church funds were available to cover Hill's salary.
Mr. Weaver's many contributions to the community's business and civic development spanned more than 70 years and earned him the Warren Chamber of Commerce's "first Citizen of the Year" award in 1984.
Gary Toebben, president of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce; said Mr. Weaver more than anyone else epitomized the qualities the chamber sought to honor with this award.
"Mr. Weaver had a kind word for everyone, and almost always would have."
He also said Mr. Weaver had done much to shape the present business community in Lawrence.
"Mr. Weaver was chamber president in 1837," Toebben said. "Also, his leadership was instrumental in the industrial development of Lawrence after World War II."
Mr. Weaver's grandfather, Lathrop Bullene, was an early Kansas settler who established a mercantile store, L Bullene and Co., in Lawrence, Iowa, which eventually became Weaver's Inc. Department Store, 901 Massachusetts St.
Mr. Weaver, who was born in Lawrence on Feb. 2, 1894, began his business career in 1915 when he joined his father, Arthur D. Weaver, at the family department store after graduating from the University of Kansas.
He eventually became the principal owner and manager of the store and continued in those roles until he retired in 1962.
Mildred Underwood, 737 Indiana St., a longtime friend of the family, said Mr. Weaver traveled extensively after his retirement.
"He was a great friend of the University. He could never do enough for it."
"He was such fun to be with," she said. "He was a host of friends all over the world. He was an elegant man who is very curious and gave so much to everyone."
Mr. Weaver married Neil DeHart on Dec. 7, 1918. She died in September 1981.
Barber said she considered her aunt and uncle, who had no children of their own, as a second set of parents.
In addition to Barber, Mr. Weaver is survived by a sister, Amarette Veatch, Kansas City, Mo.; a second niece, Aileen Calloway, Kansas City, Mo.; and four nephews, David W. Robinson, Thomas B. Robinson, Arthur W. Robinson and John H. Robinson, all of Kansas City, Mo.
"When I was young, their house was always the family headquarters," she said. "The house was full of good times."
Ichabod's open to private parties
By Kady McMaster Of the Kansan staff
A tavern that provided beer to quench the thirsts of KU students and Lawrence residents for 10 years now is closed to regular business.
Ichabod's, 1510 N. Third St., closed Sept. 14, but is open now only for private parties, Scott Simpson, who has owned the tavern in 1982, said yesterday.
Simpson, Lawrence junior, said he decided to close the tavern for several reasons.
"We closed because of the new drinking laws," he said. "I also needed to see if I could get a degree. This way I have more time to study.
"Business took a nose dive after the drinking laws went into effect. I couldn't serve a lot of the freshmen who used to come to the bar."
Simpson was referring to a Kansas drinking law that took effect July 1. The law says that a person must have been born before July 1, 1966, to drink alcohol with a 3.2 percent alcohol content.
Simpson said that he had rented the tavern for about 10 private parties in the past month and that he was making more money than he had in the past.
Another tavern, The Pladium, 901 Mississippi St., closed this summer after the laws took affect.
"I've rented the place mostly to fraternities, sororities
and dorms for parties." Simpson said. "We can't sell beer, but we provide bartenders and Coca-Cola for the parties. We've got a new coat of paint on the inside, and it looks pretty good."
Some people who frequented the tavern were disappointed because it closed.
"I was terribly disappointed that they closed, because I went there all the time," said Julie Nelson, Burdett sophomore. "I liked it because I knew a lot of the people, and it wasn't usually a crowded, loud scene. You could go there and talk."
Nelson said her sorority, Alpha Gamma Delta, 2005 Stewart Ace, rented the building for a narty Saturday.
"It was perfect," she said. "And just the right size and atmosphere. The etched glass, wood walls and floors and the deck out back make it really quaint. It's not just a building like other places you rent out. It has definite appeal."
Ichabod's has been selling beer since 1975. Simpson said. It was closed the year before Simpson bought it because of electrical problems. Originally, the building was White School, founded in 1929.
"When the building first was turned into a bar, they used the slate from the old chalkboard to make the top of the bar," said Geoff Martens, an employee of the bar for four years. "The pictures on the wall of KU alumni and sports date back to the 1890s or 1900s."
