the building, but the streams could not
be used effectively.
The flames burst through the roof and
1t was feared they would reach the big
building of Shoniger Brothers. ta'lors
trinmingS, next door, on the corner Of
broadway and liruOme street. The fire
men broke into that building on the
broadway side and ran the hose up to
| the roof

floor. and the flames. and through the
halls and floors OF the lower part of the

threw him to the ground. He struggled
and called for help.

over Pearlman's mouth while the other
two dragged him around Nlorrel street,
which was deserted at the time. The
other two tried to get at the victim 3

ton of an old wagon wheel lying on

BATTLE WITH BANDITS.
A Bloody Fight Between Citizens and
Robbers at Danville, Pa.


| DANvILLE, Pa, jan. 22.-Five masked
outlaws made rad on the postoffict
at this place. A policeman saw 4
masked man crouching in the doorway
and drew revolver, but before he
could fire the stranger stepped around
the corner.
The policeman rushed to the homes
of Officers Dave Bissell and John Van.
gllger and gave the alarm. In few
minutes the three men ran to the post.
Office in time to meet the mysterious
stranger merging from the door fol
lowed by companion They blew q
loud, piercing whistle and commenced
firing revolvers at the police who
lodged behind the lamp posts and re.
turned the fire
Ten shots were exchanged, when the
robbers were reinforced by three more
men. Everyone was we'll armed, and a
continuous round of firing commenced.
Numerous citizens APPEARED armed
with weapons of every description.
The firing became SO warm that the
robbers concluded to retire to the river
bank. They discharged three volleys
at the excited townsmen and ran east
ward, each side exchanging shots. Van
gilger, who led the pursuers, suddenly
threw up his hands and fell, shot
through the lungs
About the same time two of the rob
bers fell. Their comrades gra bbed them.
and during momentary halt of their
pursuers managed to reach the Susque-
hanna river.
A rowboat was secured, and the
three outlaws. after laying their
wounded companions in the bottom of
the boat. commenced sculling in the
direction of the Northumbe rland side.
The pursuers. now a force of 100 in
furiated men, secured as many boats as
possible, and an exciting chase COM
menced, revolvers and rifles cracking
at every turn. but no one was hit.
Owing to their good start the orr
laws succeeded in reaching the oppo-
site side before the foremost boat, con
tanning the police, was half way across.
and when the pursuers touched land the
men were in the mountains, which are
being secured on all sides by the sheriff's
posse. 1t is thought that the bandits
will seek cave in order to hide their
wounded companions and to throw the
the police off the scent.
In the event of their being surprised
another desperate battle will occur.
The sheriff declares he will bring back
the slayers of Vangilger dead or alive.
