CHICAGO, MAY l5.-Tbe following add
tional particulars Of the capture Ct Louis
Lipgg, the young German, who is supposed
to have thrown the bomb at the Hay Mar

Two men in civilian dress walked west
on Ambrose street, al 1890 yesterday az
ternoon. When they were between Lin
coin and Robey streets they opened the
gate in front of little cottage and walked
into the yard, The figures 80" were on
the wegther.besten door. One of the men
ran up the steps, leading to the street en-
trance while the other walked around 10
the rear of the house and raped on the
door. The little cottage is the home Of
Gustave Kline, and the tRo strangers seek.
ing abundance were Officers Lowenstein
and Schutler, OF the East Chicago avenue
police station.
"Who is there2" asked woman in
calico dress, as she hurried to the back
door where officer Schutler stood drip
ping in the rain. "A friend who wishes
to see Mr.. Kline" replied the officer. He
is no. at home" said the woman, but l
expect him every moment. Won't you
come inf'
The door swung open on its hinges, and
the officer walked over the threshold. "A
rainy day, this" drawled the visitor, ad-
dressing his conversation to q tall, wlry
young man with pale face who cot on
wooden chair watching the biz drops splash
against the window panes The young man
tIsped at his light moustsche, eyed the Of
fcer sharply, and then arose FROM his sest.
Then he began to pace the floor with ner
vous stride, never once lifting his eyes from
the stranger "Who are you looking for ?
he asked in German, apparently growing
uneasy at the nouchslaht manner OF the
officer Mr.. Kline" replied Schutlpr, RE
ing from his seat; but il you are Louis
Liogg you will do just as well " TIE young
man stopped his pacing aud stood like one
riveted to the floor. The color in his cheeks
fed in on instant and his fingers twitched
uervously.
With great effort be replied: ayes, that
is my name; now, what do you want?
well then" replied the officer. IL guess
will take you to the station house; you are
wanted there" Schutler then advanced
toward the young man, but before be hsd
taken half dozen steps the latter drew a
ponderous Colts navy revolver from his
breast, and cooking the murderous looking
weapon IeyeIed the thirteen inches Of bar
rel at the officer. If have to die yoa'l!
die TOO, he shrieked in Gernsn,as he placed
the index finger OF his RICH! hand on the
trigger and took deliberate aim at the Off
Ger. Schutler seeing his peril, rushed upon
his would be murderer aud life aud death
struggle ensued. Lingg fought With the
fury of wild beast and made repeated
efforts to discharge the weapon, the barre
of which was held by the officer. The men
rolled over aud over, upsettlpg tables and
chairs I'd breaking the Wiadow pauss IN
the room. While fighting was fercest there
was a crash at the front end OF tbs
cottage, and Officer LoWens,eir
who had hesrd the struggle within and had
burst open the door tumbled in out of the
rain and hurried to his comrades sssist
snce. The appearance OF the SECOND Off
Ger made Liugg delerious with rage. H
! sSS,:.ked aud cursed in his native tongue
and refused to relax his grip on the revol

tbrost and ohoked him until his face wa
nurple and red. The wesp1n 9th lts CYL
