CHICKEN THIEVES KILLED.
Two Men with Bags Filled with Fsathered
Plumber Shot and Killed by the Po-
lice.

EVANSVILLE, Ind, Jan. 20.-The police shot
and killed two chicken thieves early this
morning. They had been outin the suburbs,
and had large number of fine chickens in
bags on their backs. One of them threw
down his bag and started to run; the other
was captured On the spot by Officer Thomas
Hutchins, who took the other bag of chick.
ens and started toward the city with the
captured man, whose name was San
oers. After going about twenty-five yards
HutchiHs threw down the bag, saying it
was too heavy, and tried to put the nippers
On his man. He resisted and struck at
Hutchins with his left hand in which he
had an sx with q short bandls which had
been used to open chicken coops. The
officer was getting the worst OF the fight. as
Sanders had him down and wac pounding
him with the ak, when the officer succeeded
in getting his revolver and shot at Sanders.
The first shot did not seem to do him any
injury. As be continued to pound the
officer with the ak he would have hurt him
badly, but that Hutchins had on a heavy
overcost coming. high about his neck.
Hutchins was Obliged to shoot the second
tune and killed Sanders instantly.
Meanwhile Oficer GowaD was after the
other thief, who had run and whom he did
not capture until in his house. and then
only after shooting at him four times.
Three shots took effect. and the man, whose
name is Nally, is in dying condition.
The men are both noted chicken thieves.
One had been sentenced for the same ofeDse
some time ago. Many valuable chickens
had been stolen in different parts OF the
city, and the police knew that these two
men were the guilty parties, but as they
covered their tracks carefully, it was neces
sary to catch them in the act. The chickens
that were in the bag were fine Leghorns and
Plymouth Rocks, and were identified by DIR.
Jacob Miller as a part Of about 200 which
have lately been missing from the MiiIerdale
farm, in the suburbs of the city.
Both officers havo been placed under ar
rest, and the above statement is taken from
them.
The scene of the fight between Officer
Hutchins and Sanders was visited this morn
ing by an Associated Press reporter, who
Gays it looks as If q tough fight had taken
place, and confirms the statements of Officer
Hutchins.

noon. holding good-sized bandbox in
her hand. ''Say, do you suppose you
can send that box by the baggage-car

to pieces?' she remarked to the as
sistant baggage master. "Yes, mum, "
was the reply. "Well, that box con-
tains my bonnet, and don't you dare
to hurt it. The Boston & Maine ought
to send man On the train to hold
these small bundles aud keep
them from getting damaged; the road
is rich enough. But, mind you. if you
break that box I'll smash the whole
railroad from here to Newburyport. :"
And with this parting injunction she
walked away.
