CLEVELAND, OHIO, Nov 30.--A special
from Shelby, Ohio gives the following de-
tails Of tho capture OF burglars there Four
burglars robbed safe at New Washington
last night, and escaped on hand car to Ver-
non Junction, whore they threw the hand car
into creek and went . to Shelby. The
authorities telegraphed to Shelby to have
the gang arrested. Marshal Sutter
found the burglars near hotel
and ordered them TO go with him, whoreupon
they fred five shots, two of which struck
Sutter in the leg aud one in the side. The
marshal then shot one of the burglars through
the head, killing him instantly. The others
fled toward the woods, followed by citizens.

Longacre's murderer and took him to town.
out, armed with all manner of weapons,
and greatly excited. One Of the burglars
found the horse and buggy of member Of
the pursuing party and started away with
it, Finding the buggy an encumbrance
he cut the harness and attom pied TO got
away on horseback. EnC0unttrlnB VIII
May, who was in pursuit. the burglar, at tho
point of revolver, compe lied him to give
up his pistol and OK exchange horses.
Mays horse proved TO bo slow, and the
burglar meeting two ladies in buggy
ordered them with drawn revolver to give
up their rig. One of the ladies struck him
with whip, whereupon he fired at them,
but with the only effect of frightening their
horse, which ran away. The burglar presently
met boy with team and frightened
him so that he gave up the horses.
The burglar started the team, but they ran
away and collided with wagon, and the
burglar was thrown out and the wagon
turned over on him. The pursuers shortly
afterward came up, whom the burglar pit
eously exclaimed "Boys, l have nice
motherp and instantly he was riddled with
bullets.
This occurred thirteen miles from Shelby.
The body was borne triumphantly to town.
The bodies of both the dead burglars were ex-
hibited in an undertaker's establishment,
and this increased the excitement TO such ex-
tent that tho one who was in Jail would
have been lynched if the sheriff had not
quietly taken him to Mansfield. 1t is re-
ported that the last of the four burglars
has been captured at Plymouth.
One of the dead burglars was about % years
old. He was good looking, and had q smooth
face. He had So 700 on his person. Tho
other was middle aged. A satchel was found
containing q full set of burglars tools and a
quantity of choroform and dynamite. Mar
shal Sutter will probably recover.
