operating in Darlington, Ohio. In his
haste the deputy failed to arm himself.
The two officers separated to scour the
woods near which the rogues had last been
seen. Bowen was successful III his search
and intercepted the men. When he at
tempted to arrest them they inundated
him with revolvers and marched him back
into the woods. This act was witnessed
by a farmer, who hurried to town with
the news. a posse was formed and soon
the woods were being searched by armed
men. The robbers were sighted and just
when capture seemd certain they cut the
hitching strap of farmers team that was
attached to IL surrey on their path and
started to drive away. In their haste the
thieves did not observe that one of the
lines had also been employed as hitching
strap. The vehicle was upset and again
the pursuers gained. Twelve shots were
fired at close range by the bandits and in
the exchange of bullets one Of them was
wounded in the hand. After another short
chase and n short battle the men were
captured. The deputy sheriff, whom they
had made prisoner. had been threatened
with death if he followed them, but not
needing the warnings, he was in at the

More Trouble for the Bakers

Word has reached Manchester, KY,
that a body of armed men on recent
night went to the house Of Carlo Baker,
on Crane creek, and fired number OF
times into the house. Carlos brother,
Beverly Baker was struck by Winches-
ter ball and instantly killed. The Bakers
did not go out while the firing was in
progress and they do not know who did
the shooting These Bakers are sons OF
Garrard Baker, Tom Bakers oldest
brother, who was killed by John Wilson
eleven years ago. At that time John Ba-
ker, Garrard's son, was 10 years old, and
he said he would kill Wilson when he got
to be man. Wilson was killed last April
and it is believed that Wilson's friends
fired on Carlos house. The Bakers say
the Towards are responsible for this last
killing, because they have Tom Baker in
Jail at Barbourville, so he cannot get re
venge. More trouble is certain to follow,
as the Bakers have declared they will
keep up the fight
