ing MCDanlorS Arm in TEO Places.
 During the four years which Sheriff Lowry has been in office, he has had pretty smooth sailing so far as his experience with criminals has been concerned. It was not until yesterday afternoon. (Tuesday, September 4). that his authority had been disputed when he called on Q man Co 'throw up" and surrender.
 About f o'clock yesterday he had a thrilling experience on the north slope of the Black Hills. near grading camp on the Jerome rail road, and an experience which proved a fortunate one for him, in that he escaped with very slight flesh wound on his right arm, instead of losing his life.
 He and his deputy, George Mer- ritt, have for several days been on the trail of Bob McDaniels, sus- pected of being one of the princi- pals in the recent robbery of the Commercial company's store at Big Bug. They had
 FOLLOWED THEIR MAN
 To a grading camp on the Jerome railroad, but there lost all trace of him. On Tuesday, August 2S, he had left the camp and had not been seen afterwards. They found evi- dence of the man having camped near there, but were unable to locate him until yesterday afternoon.
 Yesterday afternoon they ran across his bed rolled up and covered with brush in a dense cedar thicket. and while Sheriff Lowry was beat ing around through the brush, he heard some one stumble against a tin can. Peering through the boughs of the thicket, he saw his man standing within twenty feet of him. When McDaniels found he had been discovered, he called out: "Who are youG"
 Lowry replied, "I am the sheriff; throw up your hands"
 Instead of complying with the demand, McDaniels opened fire on the sheriff, the first ball striking him on the right arm, just above the wrist, blowing a hole through the heshy part of the arm and com- ing out just at the elbow. It was q lucky shot that it did not break the sherIlf's arm, as in case it had, he would have been completely at the mercy of McDaniels. and would, no doubt, have been killed. That the l shot did not prove more serious is
 ALMOST MIRACLE,
 As McDaniels. 1t is alleged, was behind a bush, resting his gun on a i bough of it.
 Sheriff Lowry returned the fire, and kept advancing toward his man. and before the battle ended, each l had fired three shots. When Lowry | had fired his last shot, he had | advanced until he was within three | or four feet of McDaniels, and | pointing his gun square at his head | again, commanded him to throw up | his hands. M,Daniels replied: II 1 can't: my arm is broken" And sure l enough, his right arm was hanging l limp at his side, and his pistol was lying at his feet, on the ground. An | examination of hIs arm revealed the fact that one of the sherif's bullets l had struck him, breaking his right l arm in two places, one below the | elbow and one above. Deputy | Merritt, who was some distance l away when the shooting commenced, ! had, by this time, arrived, and the i two officers took charge of their prisoner, afterwards securing a wagon to bring him to jail, arriving 1 here about two o'clock this morn ing.
 There is no doubt that McDaniels | has not only
 BEEN KEPT POSTED On the movement of the officers during their search for him, but | that he has also been supplied with food during the time he has been in hiding in the brush. and it Is not improbable that other arrests will soon follow.
 While in the grading camp it is stated that McDaniels expressed a knowledge of the fact that the off, cers were after him, but said that he had not done anything and would | make fight before he would submit | to arrest. When arrested he had | fifty rounds of ammunition in his pocket. The arrested man formerly i lived at Big Bug, where he helped to build quartz mill and was em- ployed m other capacities there. While there he is said to have been a frequenter of saloon kept by a man namsd Horne, who now has
 A SALOON IN THE GRADING CAMP, Near where McDaniels was arrested. Horne has also taken a great interest Tn the Monte Kid" since his arrest for complieity in the robbery, and has been daily visitor at the court house, but 1t is not supposed that his interest in him has any further significance than that he is acquainted with him. and wants to do what he can for him in his trou- ble. The Kid" was in the store at the time the robbery was committed, and was arrested several days ago, as the officers think he knows some thing more about it, than simply what he saw, at that his presence there at the time was not accidental. The kids" name is said to be 1 Charles Kinney, or Kenney, and is only about Is years old, McDaniels gave his age at %.
