A Desperate Struggle With a Murderer
"A Police Officer Killed.
ST. LOUIS, Nov. II

ST. LOUIS, NOV. 10.
This morning two men went into the
pawn-shop of Ed. Wright, No. 314 Vine
street, to redeem valise pawned there
last August. One of the men was rec
ognized as Frank Rande, the man who
killed two men and wounded another at
st. Elmo, ILL.,, last August. A police
man was at once sent for, and Officers
White and Hefferman responded to the
call. White entered the shop first and
seized Rande, who Immediately drew
revolver and shot him in the thigh, sew
ering the femoral artery. Hetferman
struck at Rande with billet and seized
his pistol arm. A struggle ensued, dur
ing which Rande' pistol was discharged,
wOunding him in the leg. Wright, the
pawn-broker, meantime armed himself
and commanded Rande and his COM
panion, named Morrison, to stand still
or he would blow their brains out. Nor
rison obeyed. Wrigbt's clerk then shot
Rande from behind the counter, hitting
him in the body, which together with
several blows on the head applied by
Hefferman with his pistol, felled the
murderer to the floor and he was Sc
cured. Officer White was found to be
bleeding very copiously and was taken
home. Rande was also found to be
dangerously wounded and was taken to
dispensary and thence to the City
Hospital. Rande had on him two large
rsvolvers, a knife, billet and pair OF
brass knuckles.
Rande is a most desperate character.
He has one wound in the right thigh
and another in the left breast just out
side of the nipple. The lung was pene-
The wound in the breast was given by
Wright, the pawnbroker, who fired al
the request of Officer Hefferman, and
during the struggle with Hefferman,
after receiving the wound in the breast,
Rande drew another revolver and got
the muzzle of it to Hefferman's side,
and, but for lucky blow from the
latter, would have killed him.
The man Morrison, who was with
Rande, seemed to be an entirely limo.

j. M. Kimsey, Chief of Police of Peoria

of tracking Rande ever since he killed

were pursuing him through "a corn-fielC

Three or four citizens of st. Elmo,
Ill, visited Rande to-day, but all of
them did not wholly identify him as
the man who killed the two citizens
of that place last summer. There
is good evidence, however, TO prove
that he is the right man. In an inter
view he told reporter he believed in
equal distribution of property, and had
attempted TO do some of the distribut-
ing himself; that he had robbed fifty
seven houses during the past summer

ST. LOUIS, Nov. IL.
Police-Officer White, shot by Rande
Friday last, died this evening. 1t was
discovered this afternoon that gangrene
had set in and the leg was amputated
by Drs. Hodgen and Hill. The patient
rallied slightly after the operation, but
soon began to sink and quietly passed
away. Rande was so far improved to-
day that he was shackled by the police
authorities TO prevent any attempt on
his part to escape. A requisition from
Gov. Cullom, of Illinois, will arrive here
tomorrow morning, which will be sent
at once to Gov. Phelps, with the recon-
mendation of Prosecuting-Atty. Beach
and the police authorities here that it
be complied with. 1t is therefore pretty
certain that Rande will be taken to
Knox County, H., and abide the action
of the Grand Jury there if he escapes
lynching.

and had collected together about 81, 900
worth of property, which he intended
to take to a town on the Lake Shore IL
Michigan Southern Road, where he ex-
pected to spend the winter luxuriously.
When asked if he was not afraid of be-
ing lynched if he should be taken to
st. Elmo, he replied; "No, hanging is
no worse than any other death; but you
can bet your bottom dollar don't ex-
pect to swing. The devil has taken
care of me thus far, and have faith in his
cussedness yet" He is quite an intel
ligent man. Says he speaks seven Ian
