Ihe Bank RObber Had TOO Much
Money for a Man Out of saltwater
Chicago, Aug. 29.-Joe Harris, the
bank thief whose record extends across
the continent, was arrested last night
on Clark street and locked up at cen
trail station. A friend of Joe's was also
taken at the same time, and on being
searched the pair was found to have
several thousand dollars in their pos
session About two years ago Harris
went to Minneapolis. He was not long
in the place before the State Bank Of
Minneapolis was robbed. Harris en-
tered the bank while the cashier was
busy. The catch on the wire door
which separates the vaults from the
street was deftly lifted and in an in
slant Harris was in the midst of the
banks valuables. He helped himself.
On leaving, however, he was discov-
cred. He had $4,000 in his possession,
and he made a desperate effort to es-
cape. He reached the street, and at
once darted up a hallway. The place
was at once surrounded, and escape
without flying was out of the question.
A detective came along and Joe was
taken in. The best legal talent in the
Northwest vas engaged to defend him.
but it was of no avail. He was sent
TO the penitentiary at Saltwater, and
has only been out six weeks.

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

Robbers Injured.
Lima, Ohio, Aug pa battle took
place at Clio City, thirty-fve miles
from this city. late last night. Thomas
Isisser, night Matchman, 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. Waterman
Isisser tackled the robbers single hand
ed and was shot twice, once in the
body, while a bullet left a hole in the
top Of his hat and furrow across the
top of his head. Confelerates 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 eff
fective work, but several were wound
ed on both sides. Joseph Lehman, a
leading business man, is fatally wound
ed, and Attorney Frank Lewis badly
shot. The citizens We're 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.
