The policeman rushed to the homes

loud, piercing whistle aud commenced
firing revovers at the police, who
lodged behind the lamp posts and re-
turned the fire. Ten shots were ex-
changed, whom tho robbers were rein

nous round OF firing commenced The
bandits formed square and hugged
the stono steps, leading to buildinR
where they were able To escape tho po-
llceman's bullets.
Numerous citizens appeared armed
with weapons OF every description.
The firing became so warm that
tho robbers concluded TO re-
treat TO the river bank They
discharged three voloys at tho excited
towDsmen, and ran eastward, each side
exchanging shots. Van Gilger, who
led tho pursuers, suddenly threw up

panions at the bottom OF the boat, com
menced sculling In the direction OF the

many boats as possible and an exciting
chase commenced, revolvers aud rifles
cracking at every turn, but 10 one s-RSn
