FIGHT WITH ROBBERS.
Several Citizens and Two of the
Robbers Injured.

oODUerS 1HJureu.
Lima, Ohio, Aug. CA battle took
place at Clio City, thirty-fvc miles
from this city, late last night. Thomas
Risser, night Watchman, discovered
thieves breaking into Charles Coch's
store room. He called upon them to
throw up their hands and they opened
fire upon him. a well armed mob was
on the spot almost before the echo Of
the shots had died away. Watchman
Risser tackled the robbers single hand
ed and was shot twice, once in the
body, while bullet left a hole in the
top of his hat and furrow across the
top Of his head. Confederates of the
thieves were stationed about quarter
Of a mile from town with horses, but
before they could reach the animals
citizens were pressing them so closely
that they had TO stop and defend them
selves. There was lively exchange of
shots on both sides. The night was
dark and neither side could do very ef-
fective work, but several were wound
ed on both sides. Joseph Lehman, a
leading business man, is fatally wound
cd, and Attorney Frank Lewis badly
shot. The citizens were forced to re-
tire when the thieves made their escape
and with their two wounded, beat a
hasty retreat, going south from Ohio
City. The territory in that section Of
the state is very densely timbered, and
the inhabitants are few and far be-
tween, and although posse is securing
the country, it is not probable the
gang will be overtaken.

VANDERBILTS SEPARATE.
Mrs. w. X. Vanderbilt May Bring
Suit for Divorce.

Suit for Divorce.
Paris. Special Cable. Aug. 29.-For a
month past very definite stated re-
ports have been current among Ameri-
can friends of Mr.. and Mrs. William
Vanderbilt in London and Paris that
formal negotiations We're in progress
between them for judicial separation.
Failing in that, it has been said there
was IA probability of a suit for divorce
on the part of Mrs. Vanderbilt. There
is no doubt that Mrs. Vanderbilt has
consulted friends as to the advisability
of instituting such proceedings. The
name of Nelly Neustretter, we'll
known woman living in Paris, though
of Dutch BIRTH is mentioned in this
connection, with what authority is not
known She has recently established
herself in expensive apartments at the
Cafe Madrid, Paris, and at Deauville,
with an elaborate encourage of SER
wants. The domestic difficulties be-
tween Mr.. and Mrs Vanderbilt reached
almost climax last spring when the
party on the splendid yacht Valiant
broke up in the Mediterranean under
circumstances which at once widely
separated it's members.

STAMPS FOR PLAYING CARDS.

Before the noon hour. Deputy Vars had
sold 10000 of the stamps to st. Paul

enormous. The number of packs of

Masked Ficnds Rob Widow and
Then Outrage Her.
Des Moines, Aug. 29.-One of the most
1icndish outrages ever perpetrated in
this city came to light yesterday, hav-
ing been kept secret by the police over
Sunday and Monday in hopes of cap
turing the villains. Sunday morning
about 2 o'clock Mrs. Kate Potthoff, a
widow residing on West Grand avenue
with ten-year-old daughter and
younger son, was awakened by two
masked men in the house, who de-
manded money. She protested she had
none They searched and found $5,
but savagely demanded more She had
none to give, and they then threatened
to ravish her. She struggled and
pleaded and kept them from their pur-
pose until one approached the bedside
of her little daughter with the threat
that if she did not yield he would out
rage her child. Mrs Potthoff could
stand all but that, and she then suf-
fered herself to their brutal desire.
They were in the house fully an hour.
No trace has been obtained. and it is
probable that they will escape.
