At this time Meetze was still
advancing upon him still shaking
his left haLd at him and pulling
his pistol from his hip pocket with
his right. Then so several eye
witnesses say, Miller let fire at
Mr.. Meetze. In quicker time than
takes to tell it Miller proceeded to
fire nine bullets at Mr.. Meetze.
Mr.. Meetze returned the fire as
rapidly, and the firing sounded
like an infantry company prac-
ticing company firing Mr..
Meetze nearly empted his pistol.
After the first fire Mr. Meetze was
hit in the side and was
SEEN TO REEL BACKWARDS
and fall to the ground like a dead
man. He tried to rise, but could
not. sergt. Morehead of the
police force rushed at Miller with
his CLUB raised. Miller still had
both his pistols leveled. AS the
officer came up to him he raised
both hands and said d::"I surrender
Then Meetze's friends, seeing that
Meetze was hadly wounded and
thinking that he was killed, cried
"kill the scoundrel" and were
about to make for him. Then
it was Sergt. Morehead displayed
WONDERFUL COURAGE.
He placed the prisoner behind

and told them that the frs.&an
who came at Miller he would'shoot
dead in his tracks. AS soon as
possible he turned Miller around,
and joined by other officers, we1t
as quickly as possible with him to
the station house. Miller left
thinking that he had killed Meetze,
and sent for Capt. John G. Capers
10 act as his attorney for him.
THE WOUNDED MAN.
As soon as the firing ceased
many of the bystanders rushed to
Mr.. Meetze's side. When asked if
he was hurt mu,h he said: :"I think
my leg is broke" A hasty exami-
nation revealed a bullet hole in
Mr.. Meetze's right side it being
located just about the center of
his vest pocket. The blood poured
from the wound. Several gentle
men lifted the wounded man and
dispatched messengers for a physi-
clan. They were about to take
him into DR.. Rays Office, but he
said: "No, take me around home"
He was perfectly cool and collected,
but was powerless to move mus
Gle. He was placed in a carriage
and taken home. He asked for
his hat just as &c was driven off.

He grappled Miller and started

Finaly Miller squared himself,
shook Stack off and ran his hands

his hands came out there was a
shining weapon in each. He pointed
one at Justice Stack, who left
seeing he could do nothing more.
Miller leveled both his pistols and
shouted:

but failed to frd it. 1t ranged
backward. The physicians say it
may have entered the abdominal
cavity, but they cannot yet tell.
In this case the wound is a very
serious one indeed. They soon
inclined to think, however, from
the symptoms and the fact that it
was a small bullet that it ranged
around towards the back, and in
that case will not have
serious results.

BANK VAULT ROBBED.
SAFETY BOXES RIFLED AT

Kanch Property Chiefly Destroyed by
the Nebraska Prairie Fires.

OMAHA, Neb.. Oct. 20.--Thc fact was
made public yesterday that a large
sum of money had been mysteriously
taken from boxes in the safety vaults
of the Omaha national bank. The dis
covcry was made more than two weeks
ago. and every precaution has been
taken by the bank officials to keep the
matter secret. Detectives are at
work on the case. The principal loser
in the ease as far as known is William
Gladish, the retail druggist. LaA
March he placed in his box the sum of
81, ZOO in gold. He discovered Oct. 5
about 81. 200 of the amount was miss
ing. He notified Mr. Willard and the
investigation commenced.
So far, however, all efforts to dis
cover the manner in which the money
was lost have failed, and the bank
authorities as well as the police are as
much in the dark as ever. The private
boxes are surrounded with every safe
guard the ingenuity of science can de-
wise. The individual boxes, of which
there are several hundred, are inside a

Fires Is still Uncertain.

MULLEN, Neb., Oct. 29.-Reports OF
the damage resulting from the prairie
fires that continue to devastate Grant,
Cherry and Sheridan counties are
gradually drifting in. The loss of life
will be less than a dozen, it is thought,
though yet there is nothing certain in
any direction. The great damage is
to pastures, hay and ranch property
and range cattle. In every county
this will run into the thousands. Thou
sands of tons of hay were consumed
and two unknown men were burned
TO death about nine miles north of
town Thursday while trying to back
fire to save their homes. On all sides
are found dead cattle and ruins of
ranchers homes. The ranchers' fami-

Accurate information will be delayed

that the fires were confined to the
