IS THE OTHER MAN
He Was Sullivan's Pal in the
Attempted Hold-Up.
HIM
Il Is Believed That He Is Hidden in One
Of the Many Cabins About Town.
The Hope Is That He Will
Be Captured.

The police have not the slightest
CUB that the other man implicated
in the attempted hold-up of Gangner's
saloon yesterday morning is Ed Clark.
They have been searching for Clark
all day. but up to the present time
they have not been able to locate MIN.
Clark Is also a young fellow, of about
the same stripe as Sullivan.
The detailed account of the hold-up
as told yesterday runs thus: Sullivan
and Clark walked into the saloon with
masks on their faces. Sullivan took a
position at the end Of the bar. Joe
Gangner. the victim, was in the back
room serving customers. His brother,
Fred Gangner. was also in the back
room. As soon as Joe served the pa
irons he came out of the rear room
with a tray in his hands containing
several empty glasses. As he came to-
ward the bar Sullivan poked a gun
into his face. at the SAME time saying:
Throw up our hands. you -.
and get behind that bar"
Joe & was not much rattled
at this sudden command. Instead OF
throwing up his hands he Threw down
his tray n made a rush for Sulli-
van. The latter fired. but the ball did
not. find it's mark. Sullivan began
backing toward the front door and
fired again. Joe followed him. Fred
Gangner then rushed forward just as
Sullivan fired the third shot. BY this
time Sullivan had gained a point near
the door, and as he did SO his pal,
Clark, rushed out and slammed the
door behind him. leaving sullivan on
the inside. The two Gangner boys
dashed upon Sullivan. The latter was
a mere child I'm the hands of these

being tossed about like a football. The
police then took Sullivan in charge and
locked him up I'm Jail.
Attorney Chris Walsh was passing
the saloon where the shooting
occurred at about 2 o'clock on
his way home from the Fra
ternal Union entertainment. He
says at that time he saw a man on
the sidewalk who staggered from side
to side. Walsh thought the man was
drunk. and proceeded on his way. Az
ter he had gone half a block he heard
a firm step behind him and upon turn
ing around he saw the same man
walking behind him. but there was no
stagger about him then. Walsh
reached his home. went into the house
and watched the man. The fellow. at
ter passing Wslsh's house. vol
around, stopped for a m and al
IOBtlntT dtltu III a Ntis 'iotF
manner. After this he proceeded on
his way. Walsh has no doubt that he
is Clark.
Police Officer Mayhem saw Clark on
Main street at about 3 o'clock yester-
day morning and talked with him.
The officer. however. had no idea at
that time that he was the pal of Sui
Ivan.
IL is believed that Clark Is now I'm
hiding i'm one of the cabins about town,
and the police hope to ave him in
custody before morning.
A great deal of indignation was ex-
pressed yesterday at the bold attempt
at murder and robbery. III Joe Gang
ner's wounds had been of such a CHAR
acter as to endanger his life, the prob
abilities are that S~ull,van's life would
not have been worth a penny, so
worked up We're many of the people
over the dastardly affair.
The two young fellows. sullivan and
Clark, probably initiated the Butte
masked men. thinking IL an easy way
TO raise money. They will doubtless
find that 1t is the rashest act of their
lives.
To-day will doubtless see Clark be-
hind the bars. and then the community
will be safe at least from these two
desperate men.
The condition of Joe Gangner yester-
day was favorable to his speedy re-
covery. The bullet from Sullivan's
gun fortunately struck a rib and
passed through the fleshy part of his
side. Had IL gone half an inch highe.
or half an inch lower the wound must
necessarily have been a fatal one.
