The herald., 1898-12-18
low the robbery of the barn had been ac-

how the robbery Of the barn had been &C.
complished.
As several dozens of chickens had been se-
cured at these places, it was suggested that
Schillinger GO to the residence of Fred Herr,
on Bonnie Brae street near Seventh, and
explain how he operated when stealing two
turkeys and bicycle. This the prisoner
readily assented to, and the trio started
down Bixel street toward Seventh street.
While the men were on Bixel street the
detectives kept close to their prisoner, who
seemed to be quite nervous, and was
glancing furtvely about him. Schillinger
resented such precaution, for, he said, with
a shrug of the shoulders: ooh, you fellows
need not worry about me. l amt going to
run away
The trio approached the edge of an en-
bankment, and ran down the bank to reach
the sidewalk on Bixel street. Schillinger
went faster than the officers, and when the
bottom was reached he was a few feet in
advance. He realized the lead, for with
out warning of any kind he sprang forward,
and started on dead run souS on B.xel
street toward Seventh. Both of the Of
ticers are rapid runners, too, and at once
gave chase, but Schillinger seemed pos
sessed with wings, for he soon opened a gap
between himself and the detectives.
"Stop, or I'll shoot" yelled Auble, draw
ing his revolver Schilhnger paid no atten-
ton, but continued faster. if possible, than
before. Auble had an experience with an
escaping burglar about four years. ago, and
it was necessary on that occasion to wing
the man before he could be brought to
stop. Bean was the fellow name, and he
was caught while attempting to commit a
burglary in house on Temple street.
Auble commanded him to halt, but Bean
tried to escape, and the detective shot him
through the right lung. Bean nearly died
from the effects of the shot. Although Auble
wanted to apprehend Schillinger he did not
care to risk taking the mans life. Schil.
linger was about fifty yards in advance of
the officers, when Auble raised his revolver,
a 44calber Smith and Wesson, and, taking
careful aim at the running mans legs, fired.
The bullet struck about thirty inches above
the sidewalk. Schillinger redoubled his ef.
forts to escape after he heard the bullet
strike against fence close to him, but
Aube fired second shot. This time the
bullet went high, because Auble says his
toe struck against rock, causing him to
- ulHULt GiGNdtS tHc tl SlISHtll,
just as the cartridge was fired. The bullet
struck Sehillinger in the right arm, be-
tween the shoulder and elbow Without
a word the running man stopped abruptly,
and with his arm hanging helpless at his
side, waited for the arrival OF his pursuers.
Say. boys, III go back with you," he
said You've shot me in the arm"
The officers hurried Schillinger to the re-
ceivipg hospital, where DIR. Hagan, assisted
by DR.. Barber, attended the injuries of the
prisoner. The bullet had caused a com.
pound fracture OF the arm, and splintered
the bone. Several large pieces of bone were
before the surgeons could wire the
ends of the break together and dress the
wound in the flesh Schillinger was then
sent to the county hospital to await the
effect OF his injury.
The detectives filed three complaints in
Justice Morrisons court. charging Schillin-
ger with having committed burglaries of the
chicken coops of A. w. Stahl OF 700 Kohler
street, G. S. Herr of $50 South Bonnie Brae
street, and f. O. johnson of 1921 Orange
street. Schillinger will be arraigned on
those charges when he will have recovered
from his wound.
