and tin horns" congregate in the Pa
louise country, and Pullman always re-
ceiyes its full quota, and for the past
two weeks the brush and warehouses
near the railroad depots have been lit
orally alive with this class which is Il
constant menace to public peace and
safety. 1t has been expected all along
that house-breaking or robbery of some
kind would result from the presence OF
this more than useless class Of human
beings, and last Sunday night that ex-
pectation found full and ample realiza-
ton.
At about nine o'clock in the evening
Daniel Struppler, who resides on High
street, and who had retired but was not
yet asleep, heard someone walking up
stairs, but he at first thought it was a
roomer. A little later, however, this
thought was dispelled by form sud-
denly appearing in the doorway of his
bedroom. Mr.. Struppler arose to sit
ting posture in his bed when he was ac-
costed with these blood-curdling words
clay down, you s. of b., or I'll
blow your brains OUT" Mr.. Struppler
did not heed the command, but at once
leaped from bed and made for the in
truder. The robber did not carry out
his fierce threat, but fled with all pos
sible haste, and, with his accomplice,
was soon lost in the darkness, taking
with him two suits of clothes and five
dollars in cash belonging to j. Jayberg,
a roomer, and couple of butcher knives.

of the marauders, and things We're quiet

Leon Jones informed Night-watchman
Murray that thieves had just been
frightened from his fathers residence,
also on High street, but that they had
made away with plunder consisting of
horc clarionet and macintosh.
) MURRAY. in company with Leon and Carl
Jones, at once instituted search for
the thieves. At 2:30 o'clock they ran
across a tough looking individual below
the railroad track, and Murray asked
him what he was about at that time OF
night. The fellow answered that he was
going to his blankets. The officer told
him that he would go with him to find
the blankets, which he at once proceeded
to do. The fellow led the way to train
of box cars standing near the Northern

The newcomers had a sack between
them and Murray at once concluded that
, he had run his men to earth. He in
formed all three that they were under
arrest, and could accompany him to the
city bastile. The men with the sack
didn't seem to relish this information,
and after some parlying one OF them
dropped his hold of the bag, and arted
to run. Murray left the other two pris-
oners in charge of Leon Jones, and made
for the escaping culprit. He called sew
eral times for the latter to stop, but nc
attention was paid to the words, when
. Murray fired, the ball from his 44-cali-
bre "bull-dog' striking the fleeing man
in the thigh and coursing down through
: the fieshy part Of the leg. This proved
an effectual break on the mans progress,
and he lay in the ditch and howled with
pain. Tue two men under the charge
OF Jones had made a break for liberty
just as Murray had fired the shot, but ii
: only took one word from their captor tC
bring them to stand still, and cause
them to beg that they too might not share
their comrades fate. Jones kept them
, covered with his revolver, and they were
q soon landed in the Jail. A carriage was
= then sent for the wounded man, and he
: was taken to the Palace Hotel, where
. DR.. Kaulbach dressed the wound. The
+ bullet had made flesh wound, slightly
touching the bone, and was buried from
sight in the flesh, where it could not be
> found, and as the man is doing well it il
, not probable that further attempt viii
be made to find the ball.
The men were given preliminary
i hearing Tuesday, when the first mar
captured gave his name as Charley

. Frank Edwards, and the other went by
the name Of John McCauley. AS there
was not sufficient evidence ainst Doyle
he was given his liberty; Edwards
