Capture.
From the Cleaye1anu Herald, ID lnst1
Abut twelve o'clock last night We received
information from private source thai two
Of the robbers connected with the great bank
robbery at Cadlz,. In Harrison County, on
Sunday morning last, were arrested at L.
noon. One hund1 red and dfty thousand dol
lars Of the stolen money Was found upon
them. They made desperate resistance but
were finally ovcrpoWered by superior num-
bers and caused 10 surrender. Several shots
were exchanged, but we con1d not learn TINT
my one was injured. The most intense cx-
many Of them were securing the country ID
every direction, fully determined to check
mate the manenvrcs of the robbers.
Lagrange, where these two men were ar
rested, IS small town In Jefferson County,
On the River Division Of the Cleveland
bcnville, and on the opposite side OF tho Ohio
River from Wellsburg. From Lagrange, in
direct line to Alexandria Station, On the Pitts
burgh, Columbus q Cincinnati Railroad,
where the robbers abandoned the hand-car
and took to the woods, the distance Il about
eight miles. They left tie car at daylight on
Sunday morning and were arrested on Mon
day evening, showing conclusiye1y that they
were afraid to venture out Of the timber and
did not make much hcadwAy toward placing
distance between them and their pnrsuers.
As in every other case like this, the telegraph
though they attempted to make It useless,
played the deuce with their calculation. By
II they were prevented from making their
escape, either by way o. Wheeling OF Pitts
bu1gh, and by It the ba1ance will probably
soon be brought to justice: The distance
from Cadiz 10 lagrange in direct line, Is
twenty-five miles; by the way they went they
made run Of tlirty-six miles. The remaln-
der OF the party Is doubtless skulkiug about
the country, waiting for something to turn
mp" which VIC hope nay be the case in the
shape OF detective.
a few days before the bank robbery at
Cadfz, five or six men were In Wellsburr,
West Virginia, twenty-five miles from CadE,
and made an effort to rob the bank at that
place The Wheeling InleUiyeneer says the
man employed to sweep the bank every MOTH
ing wae also night wntchmau in the paper
mill. BE wonld leave thelnill carly to open
the bank, which the robbers doubtless no.
ticed, and adopted the following plan: They
went to the paper mill at two O'clock In the
morning ana conducted tho night watchman
to the door of the bank, threatening his life
If he mnde any noise or did not try to get
the watchman in the bank to open the door.
He did is they requested, but the man inside
Of the building, oe1leyinE that something was
wrong, and knowing II was too early to open,
refused TO open The door. They carried the
prisoner back TO the mill, buckcd and gagged
bin, and went, probably to Cadiz, where
other golden opportunities awaited them.
