THE DESPERATE RANnE.
Special DisDnch to The Cacago Tribune.
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 17.-Thc exciting topic O
conversation here to-day has been the TRACED.
Of yesterday, resulting in the wounding All
capture Of Frank Randc, the most desperate out
law that has figured in the West suee the day:
of border warfare. Last night it was the opinion
Of the attending physicians that the desperate
would not survive through twenty-four hours, a:
he had received fearful shot through
the left lung and one in the leg; but
the wounded man has shown such evidences o
superior vitality to-day that the belief is nov
expressed that he will eventually recover.
The condition of Policeman White, who was
also supposed to be fatally wounded, is like
wise encouraging, and his exceptionally fine
constitution will doubtless pull him through
In his conversation to-day Randc has
been free in expressing himself about the
sansuinary events Of yesterday, though he
denies being the actor in the horrible tragedies
| enacted ut ellison and st. Elmo, in the Stutc Of
| Illinois, during last August and September.
Besides reporters, he has been visited by j uu.,,-
ber Of people to-day, and there does not seem to
be any room for doubling his identity. Among
those who called to see him was Sheriff
| Hitchcock, Of Peoria, who arrived this
morning, J. ". kimscy, Chief of Po-
lice OF Peoria, and Charles McKown, one
| Of tile men who was wounded at Gilson.
! The latter person, whose testimony is Of tile
! greatest Importance, instantly recognized Rande
as the man who did such fearful work with an
uncrrng navy revolver on the 9Th OF August.
On referring to his capture, Randc expressed
great regret that he had not killed BOTH the po4
1icc1ncn and the pawnshop keeper who aided
them, charncterizinc lis failure to do so as the
worst OF Ills life He seemed to be proud OF the
notoricty he had gained, and 1aughingly said
the papers made him MS big us the pirates in the
New York Weekly. "The papers did not give
me q fair st,ake,'' said lie; "they ought to have
given that officer lIctferman] who guarded me
to the stat1on-house particular hell Hc is q
coward, aud 1 can whip him, sick as am. I
would just like to whack him over the head
with that chair.n
Randc appears to be a wcll-edueated fellow,
and is posted on current topics: In speaking OF
his criminal career. he saiu II admit that
am a p.lrglar anil an adept scholar in rogucry:
but called it philosophy. believe in an equal
distribution Of property, and simply proposed
to help to do some of the distribution myself.
