Wis was shot and probably mortally injured by

what he was doing there, and he replied that
he was waiting for the proprietor. Just then
another man came out OF the saloon with re-
volver in his hand. Without word he pointed
the weapon at the policeman and fired twice.
The first shot struck Davis in the neck. Tho
second lodged in the back Of his head. Davis
fell to the sidewalk. where he was discovered
a few minutes later by Policeman White.
Meantime the two burglars had run south on

tho robbers drew revolver and shot Thomas
in the arm. In spite of the fact thnt he was
hurt Thomas drew his revolver and started
after the robbers They kept up a fire and
Thomas kept up the pursuit until his own re-
volver was empty. The condition of Davis is
very critical. About II O'Clock the police ar
rested William Sennott, who is said to have
been ful i2sntifled as one of the men who did
