Chief Kareher and officers Carroll, Eldred
and Coffee are deserving Of credit for the
speedy manner in which they followed M the
guilty parties and made the arrests. The
Chief said he was afraid when he had the
parties under arrest and in the hack, that the
wounded nan would die before he would
have a chance 60 recognize them. At latest
accounts lsst night the wounded man was
