INDIANA.
Desperate Encounter Between Vigilantes and
Desperadoes.

New ALBANY. Oct. 15.-Word has been re-
ceived in this city of desperate and fatal en-
counter between a vigilance committee and two
desperadoes and their friends at Unionve, in
the southwestern portion of Orange county, this
State, Saturday night last 1t seems that two
men by the names of Esperdtz and Miller, who
had frequently broken Jail at Leavenworth,
Crawford county. took refuge at the house of the
formers father, who is also the latter's brother
inlaw. The sheriff of Crawford county,
learning of their whereabouts, secured the proper
papers and with one deputy went in pursuit Of the
fugitives last Thursday On approaching the
house the officers were fired upon and driven
back Returning to Leavenworth, the sheriff
formed a posse OF nine men, and again went
after the men the following day As before, the
desperadoes opened fire ~ the sherif's party,
and after warm fight the officers again retired
That night Esperidtz and Miller went to Union
vile heavily armed, and got on big spree. Go
ing into the streets they commanded the people
to clear the town, and at once began firing on
every one they saw. Business houses and
private dwellings were quickly closed, but
the desperate men marched up and
down the streets firing their guns and
pistols, and no one dared to go abroad After
this reign of terror had lasted for some time
Esperidtz and Miller returned to old man
Esperidtz's house. Immediately after their de-
parture the citizens called a meeting and formed
a vigilance committee, numbering about two
hundred men. The forenoon Of the following
day was spent quietly gathering arms and am
munltion and fully organizing the forces. Sat
urday afternoon the company took up its march
for the Esperidtz farm, and surrounded the
place just after sunset. Upon demanding the
surrender Of the two men, they were answered
by shot from the house, which had been
securely barricaded, The fire was
turned, and for some time lively fusilade
was kept up by both sides. When the besiegers
finally captured the place, it was found that old
man Esperidtz and Milers wife had been shot
through the head, and an eighteen yearold son
of the former shot through the body, all fatally
wounded. Miller and Esperidtz, the two des-
peradoes, made their escape in the darkness, but
it was learned that the former had been wounded
in the thigh and the latter in the shoulder. AT
last reports the vigilantes were still searching for
the fugitives, and if caught they will doubtless
be hung
Later news says old man Esperidtz and Mrs
Miller are dead, and young Esperidtz cannot
live more than day longer.

THE USUAL DOSE.
Columbus Knocks Bars Balls ALI Over the
Field and Wins Easily.
The washingtons Make One Base Hit
and Get smcared with whiteNyash.

The Columbus club yesterday played fine
game in the field and at the bat Tho
Washingtons fielded poorly and battod like
school boys, the net result being we'll
earned victory for the former and we'll
deserved defeat for the latter. From tho
very beginning the home boys seemed Of the
opinion that the game belonged to Columbus,
and their baby work at the bat was an
exhibition to be ashamed Of Fennelly and
Gladmon were about tho only men on the
nine who struck out at the ball rs ball play
ers should. Tho others popped up little flies,
tapped weak Rrounders, or stood up ike
Stoughton bottles, afraid to hit at good balls,
and were called out on strikes. In many
respects the Washington club is worthy of
praise, for certainly tho nine, as rule, plays
good ball in the face Of n long series OF de-
feats, but they sadly need good coaching in
the batting and base running departments.
The contrast between the field management
Of the two clubs yesterday was as striking as
the difference in the scores
Tho visitors took kindly to Barr'B pitch
ing from the outset. In the fifth inning they
made seven consecutive base hits, though
a more active outfelder than Humphrtes
would have caught Richmond's hit to right.
In the fourth inning Mountain made home
run on what was probably tho longest hit
mado on the grounds this year. Barr, how
ever, Is suffering from a sore hand, and is
hardly in condition to do himself justice. In
his best form he is undoubtedly very
effective pitcher. In the fourth inning he
made rafting catch of n red hot liner
straight from Reminders bat. In the seventh
Fonnelly made magnificent stop and
throw of Kuehnes seemingly safe hit
past first base Prince mado three wild
throws in trying to run down players caught
between FIRST and second Mullen played
his field very we'll. The visitors played O
good game all around, and fully justified the
reputation they have acquired this year OF
being about the best batting nine in the as.
ISOLATION. Mountains pitching was n fine
exhibition, but the boys have souDdiy hi
just Us good repeatedly this season. Hawkes.
was taken sick at the end of tho third in
ming, Fennelly taking his place at second
Morgan going to short, and Yewell to left
The score of the game follows:
