DESPERATE nunaLARs.
Caught In ihe Act they Engage In u
Pitched Battle and Escape.

Pitched Battle and Escape.
Yesterday morning at about two O'Clock a
desperate shooting atTtay occurred OH Bank
street, Bridgeport, in which five determined
men were engaged, in all exchanging more
than thirty shots In rapid succession. The
night was dark and the men, although at
very cl0se quarters, could only aim at their
antagonists by sound and the flash OF revolt
yers. The clrcumstances are Us follows:
Kirk McConnaughey had Just closed his
drug store, and with a companion who lives
in the same part OF town, had started home.
In passing the dry goods house OF g. A. Jun.
kins, MCConnaughey noticed that one OF the
front window frames had been removed, and
- his suspicious were aroused, he stepped to
the broken window and was in the act OF
looking 10 when his companion heard the
click OF a revolver GU the inside, which was
Immediately followed by areYolyer being
thrust through the broken window and
fired. Fortunately for McConnaughey his
companion had quickly pushed him out OF
range, at the same time jumping to the op.
posite side OF broken window, through
which three burglars quickly emerged, keep.
ing up constant fire.
The fire was returned by McConnaughey
and his companion, who stood their ground
and fought until all hands had emptied their
reyolyeFs, and the three burglars had fed.
Officer Burdett, hearing the rattle Of the re-
yoyers, hurried to the scene, but only in
time TO get on the track.
One man was tracked to Nolan's coal bank,
where the track was lost A man was seen
walking down the @. & P.track near the coal
bank, who on being accosled, started on run
towards Bellaire. Thisman was hotly press
ed until oil trace OF him was lost at the @. &
p. depot at Bellaire. There Is no clue 10 the
perpetrators, but 1t Is supposed by Bridgeport
officers to be home talent.
This Is the second attempt to break into
the store offs. A. Junkins Within the past two
months. It is pretty certain that either
McConaughey or his companion hit one Of
the burglars, asa mans tracks In Kirkwood
were plainly marked by blood stains in the
snow, near where new silk handkerchief
was found, such as was missing from the
store burglarized. The loss is not known,
put Is supposed 10 be small.
Charlie Miller, hearing the noise, come
brayely to the rescue with Il breech loading
rifle, but not In time to unlimber and take a
hand. II Charlie had only got his artillery
planted on time somebody would have died.

MONDAYS MURDER.
coaoNER's INQUEST CONCLUDED.


The number OF people who were surprised,
Mortified and panied yesterday morning,
when, picking up their morning paper, they
read OF the full murder Of DR.. u. sohuchardt
widely known physician and highly re-
spected citizen, by his nephew, Guenther
sChnelle, the evening before, was very large.
Although the killing happened At Go'clock
and the news travelled fast, a msjority Of peo'
pie did not know the particulars until they
read the papers. The result was, that the
dep!orable event was the main topic OF con.
yersation among all classes yesterday. Near
ly every knot Of people that was approached
was found discussing the cold blooded
manner IN which Guenther waited in the
store for the old man to'come forward; how
lie told his brother not to tell the Doctor who
It was that wanted to see him, and the loud
and hasty words that passed after the Doctor
did come In. No one blamed the Doctor for
feeling hurt that his nephew whom he had
always treated kindly, should be in the city
for two months without calling on him. The
cruel inander In which the shot was fired and

matter OF conjecture, but may be brought
out at the preliminary examination before
Squire Caldwell next Friday, II not before.
Several have theories, one Of which Is, that
Guenther had boen ignored in the distribu'
ton Of the property. Another Is, thai

cognize him as snch. Guenther's brother.
