Watomwon comfy, Mimi, announces the
capture Of four of the Northlield robbers
The four captured are those lost track of
in the timber around Mankato. two of
whom are supposed to be the noted
Younger Brothers. The four missing
robbers went to Il house ut I a. III to-day
about seven miles north of here, bought
some bread and butter and started west
on foot
lac news was seut in as fast AS II horse
could travel. Forty on fifty men were
after them as soon rs they could ret
fifht5y'- fifhcv then had them out ON the prairie,
and opened fire on them. The robbers
returned the fire but kept working toward
the river and at last cot there and Ind in
the bushes.
Bv this time the men wcIe all together
and surrounded the bushes in which the
robbers were ln The fire became gen-
eral, %, L men advancing I'LL the time. At
last the robbers saw there was no use and
gave up. One was killed. Ihe other
three are wounded, one only in the arm.
One that is supposed to be Cole, the
Younger. is wounded badly in the hand
and back 1t is thought that ono, and
perhaps TWO will die OF their wounds.

and is supposed to have been wounded at
Northtield Capt, Murphy was wounded
in the side, and George Brltiort's arm
was scratched but they are both but
slightly wounded and will he all right.
