an eye from confscation to conflict

ton has awful possibilities. Who is
it TO halt it when it has gone far

The thing to do is to crush it now.

There is one county in the United

not have known of it, for no election
was held and the official digest of the
election in Georgia has been made up

BROUGHT TO AN END.
LAW AND ORDER RESTORED AT
LEBANON, IND.
Reign Of Terror Inaugurated by the
Miller Gang OF Outlaws Ended by the
Authorities - Ringleader Is Fatally
Wounded.

Lebanon, Ind. Nov. 25.-The worst
fight ever known in the history of
Boone county took place on the south
east corner OF the public square at s
o'clock Monday night between the no.
torious Miller gang and posse Of OFF,
GERS. Bill Woods, one of the des-
peradoes, was fatally injured. Police
man George Frost received bullet In
his thigh and several others suffered
slight injuries.
For the last year the citizens of Leb-
anon have lived in mortal fear Of the
ruffians. The trouble which ended with
this last fight began about month ago,
when Woods arrived from Missouri,
where he had been living for about
year. He was arrested a day or two
after his arrival and spent a week in
jail. He was released election day and
swore vengeance against the officers.
Several times during the last two
weeks the Miller gang have engaged in
melees. in which guns and knives have
played prominent part, and each time
the Millers have conquered. About 10
O'Clock Monday Jess Miller, Bill Woods,
Harry Byrods, John Paragon and Bill
Kelly left town, going to the residence
OF Charles Johnson, three miles east
or this city, where they Immediately
proceeded to take possession. The
owner protested and the trouble began.
Jack" Dowden and Jeffrey Gullio were
badly injured. while no less than sew
enteen others were bruised in the af-
fray. Officers were put after the gang
early Sunday morning, but no trace Of
them could be found.
Mayor Garrett called the police force
together and gave orders to Chief Witt
to bring in the Millers dead or alive.
About o'clock in the evening Officers
Frost, Trick and Orme ran across Miller
and Wood and Paragon in Francis
Longs saloon in South Lebanon street.
Miller and Paragon surrendered when
ordered, but Wood ran out the back
door and escaped. The two prisoners
were taken to the police courtroom,
their weapons were taken from them,
and they were left in charge Of Officer
Frost, while Trick and Orme left to
hunt for Wood.
There was no one in the room but
Frost and his prisoners, when Wood
appeared at the window and beckoned
Miller and Paragon to come out. They
started out, and Frost drew his re-
volver and ordered them back. Wood
rushed in with drawn weapon and be-
gan shooting. The first shot struck
Frost. The officer and outlaw clinched.
Placing his revolver at Woods abdo-
men, Frost began shooting. Both men
emptied their revOlvers during the
bout.
Paragon escaped, and Miller and
Wood attempted to do so. Wood was too
badly hurt and Miller was captured by
citizens. The prisoners were taken to
the county Jail.
The news spread quickly and a crowd
surrounded the Jail, but there was lit
tie talk Of violence. Drs. Porter and
Fitch examined Woods wounds and
pronounced them fatal. Paragon was
arrested later and lodged in Jail with
out any trouble. Officers are searching
for the otter members of the gang.
Officer Frost is resting easily and Is
expected to recover.
