When Devos's burglar escaped, after
being fired at by John McInnes Friday
night, Deputy Sheriff W. J. Jones was
about ~ creEtiallen as it is possible for Il
man 10 become. His troubles al seemed
70 come together, for it Will be remem-
Lsrsd that Jack Bell had just returned
a. society. On Saturday afternoon word
Was brought in irSJu one Of the camps,
ihat a stranger, whose hand WAS injured,
had made his appearance there, and W.
c. Williams and u. B. EcaIy said they
believed il was the burglar wanted. The
dsscription of the man tailed with that
given by the milEman 10 Marshall Finn,
and with what Mr. Curtis, proprietor OF
the Charles hotel, had said OF him. Dep
uty .Sheriif Jones and his faithful side
partner immediately procured a horse
and buggy and started at p. IN. after
him. They learned that the man had
left the camp and gone up the road from
jim Games. The officers proceeded to-
ward Chemacum, and ut different farm
houses on the WAY they learned OF his
having inquired how he could get to Vic
toria, and of his being told the best way
was TO go back to town, or he might 90
10 Ludlow or Port Discovery. He was
told that it would cost him\ five dollars
10 be taken to the latter place, and he
said 10 could not stand that.
A. one place he offered to sell one Of
the stolen watches FOR two dollars. Messrs
Jones and McInncs found at ChemacuIn
that he was but short distance ahead
Of them, and they drove their horse as
rapidly as he would go. When about
two miles above Chemacum Sunday
noon, they raw 2 man dressed in dark
clothes and derby hat; the man turned
around and seeing the team made dash
for the woods. Jones drove his horse
about two hundred yards past where the
man was seen TO cAter the woods, and
AcIAues jumped from the carriage, and
Jones drove back, tied his horse and
started into the timber. The burglar
heard him coming and made a break for
the road, and ran almost into McInnes'
arms. The latter gentleman drew his
revolver and commanded him to throw
up his hands. 1.-THE hades will !" said
the burglar. - Yes, you will, !" said
Mac, cor I'll fill you full of holes" At
that moment the deputy sheriff came up,
snd the man put up his hands as high
as he could. and looked sorry because
his arms were net longer. In lieu of
the beautiful steel bracelets, q strong
cord was substituted and placed around
his wrists, and he was searched. A pis-
tol, Mr.. Devoe's gold watch and chain,
and three silver watches were found in
his pockets. He was placed in the car
riago and driven to the county Jail here.
On the way he stated that he had pur-
chased the watches and paid twenty-five
dollars for them. He explained the
wound in his hand by saying that he
had torn it on a barb wire fence.
Yesterday at 8 O'Clock he was taken
before Justice Wood, holding court in
the county court building. He gave his
name as James II. Burdick, OF EewYork,
and had been in Port Townsend one
week. He waived examination, and
Was held In 81 600 bail to appear for trial
ct the next term OF court.
The prisoner is tall, slender iudi-
sidual, wearing black Prince Albert
coat, dark vest aud trousers, and black
derby hat. He wore a pair of new but
ton shoes which he stole from one of the
men occupying the room with him at the
Charles hotel On his way to the court
room he asked the deputy sheriff what
he had better do, and when told he had
better make clean breast of 1t, he said
that he would not do for an innocent
man.
-After the hearing he was taken TO Nc
Aurry,s to be photographed, and, like
an old time criminal, dropped his head
as the negative WAS beng taken.
We gave it as our opinion on Sunday
that both Deputy Sheriff Jones and Mr..
AcInnes deserved credit for the admira-
Die way in which they attempted
10 capture the fellow. The people who
differed with as now give the men credit
for the capture.
The fellows wounds in the hand are
but slight.
