The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1895-06-12

to escape down one OF the side streets.
As the fellow ran down Hamilton
street Barnaman started up to meet
him and he lodged into the alley back
of the Hamilton block. lnghram ran
into the alley after him and Barnaman
started around on Broadway to head
him on at the upper end Of the alley.
The most exciting incidents took
place in the alley, and II appeared to
the spectators for a few seconds that
officer Inghrams life was not worth
a nickel. The highwayman ran up the
alley about 30 feet and then stopped
and waited for his pursuer. who round
ed the corner a few seconds later As
the officer turned the corner he fired
at the desperate. and the latter
promptly returned his fire. but neither
shot took effect. although the two men
were not standing more than 30 feet
apart. Inghram pulled the trigger
again but the cartridge failed TO ex-
plode and he could not get another shot
out of the gun. While the officer was
trying to get his gun to work the rob-
her stood off I'd took deliberate aim
at him. He held his revolver out at
arms length for nearly 10 seconds and
then fired. Just as he pulled the trig-
ger Inghram threw his arms up ~
front of his face and wheeled around
and the bullet which was intended for
his body cut through his coat on the
right side just below the waist. After
firing the shot the man ran on down
the alley few feet further and start
ed down an opening between two
buildings towards Broadway. Just as
he turned the corner lnghram threw
his useless gun at him and 1t hit him
in the breast and knocked him down.
He laid ga the ground for few sec
onds and shouted to Inghram: III you
come around the corner I'll kill you"
Nothing daunted by the threat the
officer looked around the corner and
threw his club at the PROSTATE man.
AS he looked around he looked straight
down into the fellows revolver. but he
lid not pull the trigger. woman who
was standing at the end of the alley
called to Inghram that she had n
fresh gun for him and he ran back for
| II. At the same time the fellow
jumped up and started to run out Of
the alley. He saw Officers Barnaman
| and Meiklejohn waiting for him, how
| ever. and he then lodged through a
narrow alley towards Granite street.
| He ran into vacant lot almost
| straight into the arms of Under Sheriff
! Young. who ordered him to throw up
| his hands. Young was not armed but
| the man either did not know or did not
| care. and he sullenly threw up his
| hands with the remark that he guessed
he might as well surrender. His gun
was taken away from him, and after he
| had been identified at the bank he was
taken to the county Jail. where It was
| found that he had sustained no fur
ther injury than slight scratch on
| his temple, which ii is thought was
| caused by the second shot fired by
| Inghram. on his arrival at the Jail he
was thoroughly searched for some evil
| dence of his identity. but nothing was
| found, and he said that he had taken
| care that nothing of that nature should
be found on him. The only thing found
| on him was a gold Waltham movement
watch, three one-dollar bills and a lot
of business cards and a memorandum
book containing a number OF addresses.
| Among the business cards was that of
a Boise restaurant and another of the
| California Wine company of Salt Lake.
| He also had Union Pacific ticket en-
| velope. and its appearance was such as
| to indicate that II had not been In his
| possession long.
| What is your name.' asked Jailer
Cook. after the search had been COM
| pleted.
| Il have no name" again replied the
man.
II must have a name to put on the
