water, when the steamer backed up and asked
If they wanted any help. Crosby quickly an

Gus predicament and the steamer passed on to
the dock. The boys then got into the schooner's
small boat which had not been run down and
came ashore. Neither had any other clothing
than shirt and Miller was chilled through 30

ONE ROBBER KILLED.
Warm Reception to Three
Masked Men at Palmer.
TWO CAPTURED. ONE KILLED.


A bold robbery and pursuit Of the robbers
with fatal results caused great excitement at
Palmer last evening. John Peterson, q mer-
chant, was held mp in his own store, but his
nerve and the help Of his neighbors not only
nipped the scheme in the bud but nipped the
whole gang.
Shortly after 8 o'clock, while Mr. Peterson was
alone in his store three men entered. AL had
their faces covered with handkerchiefs SO they
could not be recognized. Two of them pre-
sented revolvers in Mr.. Petesson's face and de.
manded the contents Of his cash drawer. The
merchant at first thought that some of his
neighbour had arranged an April fool joke just
for fun. but was soon undeeeived.
Az soon a. he realized that IN attempt was
being made to rob him ne called loudly for help,
Notwithstanding the immediate proximity of
the guns. The robbers did not, apparently,
have nerve enough to shoot him, or were afraid
OF arousing the neishborhood and losing their
swag, and ~ soon - he opened his mouth to
cry ont proceeded 70 knock him seuseless with
their revolver
Fortunately. Just ct this moment Sam Richie,
proprietor of the hotel, came along the street,
and, hearing the outcry, ran to Mr.. Peterson's
assistance. The thieves saw that their game
was up. and, without securing anything. made
Of into the brush on the bank OF Green river.
Mr.. Richie pursued them for q short distance.
but realizing his inability to cope with three
armed men, returned for his gun.
He then proceeded to organize . small posse
and . close watch was kept The brush was
searched. and after some delay the men were
discovered about 200 yards from town concealed
in . thicket
They were ordered to surrender, but instead
OF complying made OF again. But the pursuers
were In earnest and overlook, captured and dis
armed two of them. The third was shot
through the head, while trying to escape, aud
instantly killed.
The two captives refused to talk or even tell
their names. aud none OF the three were recog-
nized. The posse telegraphed for the sheriff and
coroner and prepared lor their arrival by form
