CHICAGO, June Pat Sheedy, the gam
bier, and chief friend and supporter of
Jere Dunn, is to-day numbered among the
insolvents of Gamblers alley. Rumor has
it Sheedy has steadily lost money since
the night Dunn shot Elliot, and during
March and April he dropped" $4,000.
The night after Dunn was acquitted
Sheedy's luck seemed to turn, and for sew
eral days his winnings were large. One
week ago to-day another change occurred,
and when he announced himself out of
business yesterday his losses for six days
footed up $4,000. Yesterday afternoon
he was closeted with Emory A. Storrs, and
last night departed for New York. The
patriots of Gamblers alley consider
Sheedy's Ill luck only temporary, and con-
hdently expect him to return from the
East with plenty of funds. About two
years ago Sheedy arrived in Cleveland with
out dollar. A friend staked him, and in
four nights Sheedy "broke" the leading
bank of Cleveland, and came away with
$4,000 in cold cash. He is credited with
having spent $4,000 in behalf of Dunn's
freedom.

THE BARBER BOYS.
WAvER1Y, Ia, June THE capture of
the noted Barber boys occurred at farm
house four miles southwest of Tripoli and
sixteen miles southeast of this place.
During the day they had been concealed
in the barn of a German farmer named
August Tegtmerl, and about o'clock in
the evening they went to the house and
asked for some supper. Henry Tegtmerl,
son of the farmer, recognized them and
succeeded in conveying the fact to his
father, whom he instructed to give the
alarm to the neighbors. Henry remained
at home to assist his mother in preparing
meal for the desperadoes. Several men
all of whom were Germans, accompanied
the elder Tegtmerl home. The had no
weapons save one shot gun,
which, it is claimed. was
not loaded. The intention was to sur
round the house and when the boys came
out to spring upon them ana secure them
before their suspicious could be aroused.
This plan was baffied through the excite
ment of one man who rushed into the
house to secure the bandits, upon which
the latter drew revolvers and began firing
promiscuously. Henry Tegtmerl sprang
upon Bill Barber, knockedshis hands away
and caught him by the throat. The melee
then becams general, and Bill was soon on
the ground, but managed to continue firing
over his shoulders. Ike managed to esca3e
his pursuers for a moment, and leaping
through an open window began firing at
the men inside. By this time several of
the attacking party we're wounded, and
finally one named Henry Page went out
side the door and succeeded in pinioning
Ike by the arms. Henry Kersting
received a ball through his
body and exclaimed: 'boys,
l am going to die" He still continued to
fight, and aided in tying both the boys by
the arms with rope, which Mrs. Tegt-
merl had gone to the barn and procured.
Sixteen shots were fred by the outlaws,
Ike emptying two weapons he had on his
person. Of the five brave men who at
tackled them, all were wounded, being as
follows: Henry Harsting, shot through
the body and died at 1:15 in the morning;
John H. Karsting, shot in the left breast,
hip and arms; Henry Tegtmere, shot in the
neck; Henry Pope: shot in the breast, the
bullet striking the bone and coming out at
the back; August Tegtmerl, finger bitten
and crushed. 1t is thought all the wounded
will recover. Word was sent to Waverly,
and as soon as possible Deputy Sheriffs
Adair and Christensen went for the cap
tured men. and landed them in jail at
o'clock yesterday morning.
Bill Barber was found willing to con-
verse and said he was twenty three and Ike
was twenty-five years old. Their father
was a soldier in an Iowa regiment and
dying soon afterwards the boys were placed
in the Soldiers Orphan Home, at Cedar
Falls. When asked in regard to the shoot
ing of Sheriff Sheppard last September,
Bill said they had worked for a farmer who
cheated them out of their pay, and they
ran off his horse and sold it, and Sheppard
came 10 arrest tueiI. ne ureW revolver
as soon as he ordered them to
surrender, and fred, the ball

Ike then drew his revolver and killed Shop

the Republican river. week ago Monday
they concluded to go home and see their
mother and sisters. A boy saw them as
they entered the house with one of their
sisters, and aroused the people. They then
attempted to escape and go to Montana,
where they claim their mother lives.
