made up the squad which arrived st
the depot 10 minutes before the train
was due. The train being DELAYED. as
was subsequently learned, by Intellectual
Efforts To capture the lunatio, the police
were forced to walt more than an hour.
After considerable anxious speculation
as 10 tho condition OF things on board
No. u, the officers were, finally. anv-
thing but treasured by dispatch from
asuburban station, warning them that
The maniac was VOL armed aud would
resist desperately. A little later No. o
appeared In sight, and the police, sep
arsting so as 10 form two squads, awaited
her arrival on either side of the
track. As the train approached
the whistle sounded number OF warn |
Ing notes in quick succession. People |
hanging half way out tho car windows |
were seen gesticulating wildly 10 the |
crowd Before the train had come 10 a |
stand-still dozen passengers jumped |
TO the ground and lied, looking back |
with blanched faces. Officer Barrett
was the first 10 observe the lunatic.
Barrett WAS standing near the
roar END OF the smoking car.
The madman, with leveled revolver,
glared nc him from the front platform of
the chair car, the length OF one car dis
tant. Barrett turned half round and
stopped instantly, but too late. A ball
from the lunatio's revolver struck him.
and In five minutes he was dead. One
look at the maniac was enough TO sat
lsfy one that while his ammunition
lasted he would not bO taken alive.
Seeing this, the officers, after re.
moving their wounded comrade, began
a fusilade through the windows OF the
smoking car, where the mad man had
taken refuge After minute or two
he plunged out on the platform, fired
a couple OF shots into the crowd, leaned
from the train and dashed down Fourth
avenue. officer Laughlin started In hot
pursuit, and at him tho lunatic fred the
last shot In his weapon, but without effect
The maniac stopped then and awaited
coming with cleaning ewes
and frothing mouth. They clinched,
the officer tripped his prisoner and they
both fell, the madman meanwhile beat
ing LauBulln unmercllully on the head |
with the revolver. The officer was in
citizens clothes and was set upon and
terribly pounded by an excited colored
man, who mistook the officer
for the prisoner. The rest
of the squad arrived shortly,
The maniac was secured, taken
first to cell and then TO the hospital to
have his wounds dressed. When
he realized that further resistance
was useless, the prisoner grew
calm, and said very nationally that his
name was Louis Reaume; that he was
S3 years old, and was on route 20 his
home in Detroit from Denver.

the man boarded the train at that place.
he remarked that people were after him
TO lynch him, and that If left alone he |
would molest no one. AT El Paso, Illi-

revolver In hand, ordered the train |
men to cease making some changes i'm |

had exchanged several shots with the |
city marshall he ordered the train TO

Will was the only law obeyed.
