terward returned to Lusters store pretty
badly wounded. In the darkness and
excitement the accused parties made
good their escape. On Wednesday some
of the clan at Luster's made threats Of
their intention OF killing three neigh
boring citizens, who they alleged had
set the officers upon them. Thereupon
a party of some fifteen or twenty citl-
zens banded together for the purpose of
making thorough search OF the neigh
borhood, and bringing the accused par
ties within the hands of the law; but
their search was fruitless. Squads OF
citizens have since made several raids
by night and day on the suspected To-
cality, but so far without effecting the
arrest of either Of the parties.
The evidence that the parties at LUIS
ters were the parties who made the
Union City Express robbery, besides
number of other robberies, appears sat
isfactory to the detectives, and it is also
apparent that the detectives are well
posted as to all their aiders, abetters
and harborers, and are quite certain OF
efecting their arrest sooner or later.
A SQUAD OF citizens are now COM
passing the county seeking the appre-
hension of these men. On Thursday
enc of them was seen, but again eluded
capture.
The Express Company offer $1,000
for their apprehension, dead or alive.
