THE DEATH OF REED.
TIE COMPLETE DETAILS OF SATURDAYS
EVENTS
Which Ended The Career of the Notorious
Murdsrsr-Ths Inquest at Pittsbnrg
Yesterday and the Body Sent
10 Washington.

Additional details of the rounding up
Of Murderer Martin Reed, OF Washing
ton county, and his tragic death, were
received yesterday, and fully show the
desperate character of the man, as well
as the persistence and energy with
which the pursuit was kept up by the
officers, and especially by Officer Nc
Bride, of Little Washington. Ever
since the escape of Reed, on the 19th
of last May. Mcbride, stimulated by
the reward OF $500, has been
on his trail. Mcbride located
his man early In July in that part OF
the country where Washington, Beaver
and Allegheny counties meet, but all
efforts to capture him failed for long
time. Mcbride followed every possible
clew. however, keeping close watch
on a number Of Reeds relatives who
lived in that vicinity, and as time
slipped by he obtained valuable 1nfor-
nation. Saturday morning Mcbride
discovered that the murderer had
secreted himself in the old Ice
houses near Noblestewn, and as soon as
he was sure of this, the officer took the
first train for Little Washington and
informed Marshall Orr Of what he knew.
Orr, Mcbride and Constable William
son at once went back to Noblestown,
arriving there about noon, and immedi-
stely went to the old ice house. This
building stood in hollow, on the bank
Of a small run, and belonged to man
named Peter Wacker. The locality
was visited by hundreds OF persons
from Pittsburg and Little Washington,
Yesterday, who gazed at what was left
OF the little building while they listened
with deep interest To recitals OF the
tragic and terrible events OF the evening
before. The building originally stood
about twelve feet high at the ewes and
eighteen to the peak Of the roof, and
was built Of rough boards, with
stout, double walls. There was
door in one end, and a
small window high up under the roof,
in each gable. Just inside the door,
was a small ice box, about eight feet
high, aud another stood in the corner
opposite the door. 1t was on top OF this
second ice-box that Reed lay when he
shot Marshal Orr and Coyle, and where
he remained until driven to the ground
on one side Of the building by the fire.
The accompanying diagram OF the
building will show the arrangement OF
the interior.

Ground Plan ofths Ee. Rou.e.

When the three officers went to this
place, just after noon, Mcbride and
Williamson, with their revolvers in their
hands, stood guard outside, while Chief
Orr, carrying a Winchester rifle, boldly
opened the door and went inside. He
passed through the second door and had
nearly reached the center OF the build
ing. peering about in the gloom, when
a man partially raised himself from
where he was lying on top OF the ice
box and shot at the officer with re-
Yolver. Orr was hit in the left shoulder,
the ball passing downward about six
inches and coming out on the outer sur
face of his left arm. He ran out Of the
building quickly, the blood running
over his clothing. HE hit me-" Orr
cried out to his companions, "but it's
only scratch"
Just then the little window in the
gable was opened and the face OF Reed
appeared. Orr raised his rife and called
out. Come down and surrender"
Reed ripped out an oath and slammed
the window shut.
The shot had been heard by people
living near, for the ice house was not
far away from number OF houses, and
men came running from many direc-
tions. They drew others, and in short
time there were over 100 persons gath
cred near the ice house. Among others
Peter Wacker, the owner OF the build
ing, appeared, and when he learned
what had happened he cautiously ap-
preached the door and pulled it shut.
Then he changed his mind and threw 1t
open. Orr ordered him to close 1t, and
Wacker again operated on the door.
Orr now began to feel weak from the
loss of blood, and, telling his two assist
ants to watch the place closely, he hur-
ried to Noblestown and had his wound
dressed by doctor.
Like wildfre the news spread that
Martin Reed, the murderer, was driven
to bay, and people hurried to the scene
from all directions. Women and chill
dren, as we'll as men, and many Of the
sterner sex came with their revoivers.
A Panhandle train carried a number OF
men to Mcdonald, where they called
on Captain Nesbit, of the National
Guard, and asked for rifles. The Cap
tain furnished number. and on the
next eastbound train large crowd went
from Mcdonald, many of them armed.
Among these was Deputy Sheriff Hugh
Coyle, who had for some time been act
ing as q policeman in the oil town.
Meanwhile, for nearly two hours, the
little, old icehouse in the hollow was
surrounded and watched by hundreds
OF people. There were numerous shouts
to Reed to come out and surrender, but
no sound came from within. No face
appeared at either window, and there
was no sign to indicate that any person
was inside the building.
When the crowd arrived from Melon
aid, Hugh Coyle at once announced his
intention of going in and bringing Reed
out, dead or alive. Don't go In" said
Orr, covered with blood. HE will kill
you."
"By -, I'll go in anyway" said
Coyle.
He walked boldly to the door, threw
1t open and walked inside, while the
watching people held their breaths.
A shot was heard inside. Coyla sprang
out the door. He was untouched. That
tima-Rsed, lying on the top OF theice-

remains were taken back to WASHINGTON
where they were turned over to the
Sheriff. Detective Mcbride will claim
the $500 reward, but says he will turn
5000 over to Orr and Williamson.
1t is thought that Williamson will
give his portion TO his sister, Mrs. Coyle,
the widow OF Deputy Sheriff Coyle, who
was killed by Reed. The wound re-
ceived by Chief of Police Orr is not dap
gerous, and he will be on duty again in
q few days.

., TORRISON.

o. Torrison of this city died this morning
weeks it was quite evident to his friends that
the end was drawing near. His health be-
gan failing couple of years ago but the
mans fortitude was such that hs refused to
consider himself an invalid. 1t was indom-
table pluck fighting against the weakness
of disease and he refused to yield until his
strength utterly failed him. His entire
family were at his death bed, the boys in
college having just arrived yesterday.
He was born in Norway in 1928, and came
to this country in 1916. He went to work
as clerk at Port Washington, and two years
after moved to Manitowoc Rapids. From
there he came to Manitowoc and engaged in
business for himself. BY industry and enter
prise he succeeded in building up one of the
largest retail stores in the state. But he did
not contine himself to mercantile business.
He branched out into variou. lines in all Of
which &C met with the highest success.
This notice mus. be necessarily brief, but
II would be incomplete without some refer
ence to Mr.. Torrison as a man outside of
business. relations. There lived no man
who enjoyed his home more thoroughly, nor
who sought more TO dispense pleasure at his
own ireside. Though immersed in business
the genial side of his nature broke through
every barrier when in the presence of friends.
He loved the compan,onship of those whose
friendship he valued and was always con-
siderate Of the feelings OF others. No other
man has done as much for Manitowoc. He
grew into wealth from a poor boy but he
never was tainted With the arrogance which
is common in such cases. O. Torrison will
long be remembered by the people of this
city as public spirited man, citizen who
ever tried to do his duty and man who I'M
ostentatousiy helped the needy,

DEATH OF IRA CLARK.


Ira Clark of Clarks Mills died on Tues
day morning of this week after a rather
protracted illness. Mr. Clark was born
in st. Lawrence Co., New York 60 .,ears
ago. He settled in this county in 1915
in the town OF Manitowoc Rapids. In
the early sos he moved to Cato and built
mill there. The town which grew there
took his nae , and he was always regard
ed as its father. Every one had the high
est respect for him, though he was man
OF such deep convictions that his opinions
were asserted without regard to conse-
quences. His honesty, public spirit and
genuine kindness of heart made him be-
owed by all, and all who knew him re-
greet his death. He was a man OF indo-
mitable purpose and courage. When he
became satisfied that his last sickness
had come, he hoped that the end might
comespeedily.
HiR funeral takes place to-day and
large number OF people from this city are
in attendance as a. token of respect for
the deceased and an expression of SYM
pathy for his relatives.

BURGLARS CAUGHT.


On Sunday last three suspicious look
ing men were frequenting the saloons in
the neighborhood OF the railroad depot
and trading of knives and razors for
drinks. Charles Huchthausen's suspio-
ions were aroused and he notified the
police. One Of the men had previously
shipped box to Chicago to Frank Stone
and gave the name OF the shipper 50
Frank Stone. 1t was learned that hard
ware store was broken into at Appleton
and large number OF knives, rsvolvers
and razors and other artIeles stolen.
Policeman earle changed coats with
Huchthausen SO that he might conceal
the fact that he was policeman and
joined in with the fellows. While walk
ing with them one OF them suspected he
was being shadowe1 and at once took to
his heels. The marshal with the other
policemen nabbed the remaining two and
they were lodged in Jail on Sunday night.
The authorities at Appleton were notified
and the chief OF police Of that city came
after the burglars on Tuesday.
The fellows whom trading the articles
off admitted they were stolen, but no one
seemed to tn: ok it was meant seriously.
A large quantity Of the stolen property
was recovered from those to whom 1t had
been sold.

THE Misunderstanding at the speech
on Saturday night last was solely due
to the fact that the parties to it jumped
at conclusions, together with the fact
that each thought the other was hostile
In his utterances. The writer was not
present but on inquiry learned that what
Gen. Bragg said was that the "robber
tariff" was collected from the consumer
by the retail dealer in increased prices,
and that the heaviest collector OF the rob-
Der tariff in Manitowoc was John Schu-
cite. This is in substance what he said.
He thought John Schuette was men,
Der of the firm Of Schuette Bros. The
purpose was not to convey the idea that
Schuette Bros. were in anyway levying q
contribution, but that being large retail
ers their sales were such that owing to
Increased prices on account of the tariff
they were involuntarily and of necessity,
collectors OF the tariff. The use Of the
word "robber" was unfortunate though
applied to the tariff, because OF the men
ton OF the firm or John Schuette,by mis-
take neither Of which has anything to
go as collectors OF the tariff except as this
tariff increases the price OF goods in which
they deal. Mr.. George Schuette's anger
was no doubt due to the use OF the word
'robber" which was in no sense applied
to his firm and would not be by any one
knowing its members. 1t was solely a
misunderstanding. The use of Johns
name was unfortunate but he doesn't
care" He has laughed at harder knocks
than that.
