being shot and probably fatally injured
by Officer Garvey.
Zuelke arrived here yesterday and
stopped at the Crescent hotel. He car
ried a Winchester rife and remained in
his room most of the time. This morn
ing when the hotel people arose it was
found the mysterious guest had left be-
fore daylight. This with the fact of his
carrying a rifle aroused a suspicion that
be might be the much-wanted Zuelke and
the officers were notified.
The sheriff and officers and city police
at once started out in all directions and
Officer Garvey came upon the man sit
ting on the railway track about mile
north of the city, with rifle on his
knees
Garvey, who was in citizens clothes,
approached and said:
Il arrest you.
Zuelke sprang to his feet and raised
the rife which was cooked.
Before he could pull the trigger, Gar
vey shot him twice, once in the hand
and once over the heart. Zuelke dropped
his gun, spun around and then recover
ing, started to run. He ran nearly a
mile before being captured, and then
collapsed after saying to the officer,
you got me at last.
Zuelke was taken to the hospital,
where he lies in a critical condition, spit
ting blood, but conscious and refusing to
talk save to occasionally mutter:
They've got me at last
There is no doubt he is the man want
ed, as he has been identified by Andrew
Brand of Ripon, who has known him for
years, and by a man who worked with
him some years ago on a farm near APP
pie Creek, this county.
The description also tallies perfectly,
even to the rife he carried.
When captured his pockets were full
of cartridges and the magazine of the
gun was also full. Physicians at the

to grief in the municipal court this morn
ing. An inquiry was held Wednesday

nesses were examined, as a result of

Frank Blake, an ex-butcher, and J. O..
Brictson, a druggist, for selling liquor
without license. Barr and Blake were
in court this morning, pleaded guilty and
paid fines Of $50 and costs, Bars as
sessment being $82.72; Blake's $S4.58
Mr.. Brictson has not yet been arraigned,
but will probably be in court tomorrow.
The town Of Deerfield voted for IL
cense at the election in the spring of
1895. The village leaves the question to
be settled by the board of trustees, and
they voted against granting licenses.
The election of new board takes place
in May and the license question will be
prominent issue. The license advo-
Gates are encouraged by the fact that
the village has incurred an indebtedness
of $4,000 for waterworks which the IL
cense money would help pay off.
