BATTLE AT
After Being Captured, Prisoners SET
Fire to Their Cells.

VANDALIA, Mo-, Nov. Two
strangers, huckaters, drove into Van
dalia to-day and sold some poultry,
which was identified as stolen from
near Curryville. They had hitched
their team, when Jack Downing, who
HAD lost some chickens and was on
their trail, arrived and caused Marshal
Goodpasture to undertake to arrest
them.
The Marshal was quickly knocked
down and shooting began from both
sides, the Marshal being assisted by
bystanders. Pistol balls fell like hail
for q moment, when the strangers
broke and ran In opposite directions.
The Mayor quickly organized q shot
gun posse, which started in pursuit
Both were captured at long range Ia
the open field. They were placed In
jail and are now awaiting the States
attorney from Mexico.
A pistol ball passed through the coat
OF one Of the supposed thieves. 1t il
considered marvellous that lives were
not lost in the fusillade of bullets.
The men refuse to give their names
Later In the day they set fire to the
calaboose cells. 1t was extinguished
however, before the outlaws could
make their escape and they are being
carefully guarded.

morning on finding that the drug

the post ofice. Entrance to both

the combination 10 bis cigar case,
which bad a money drawer attached.
Finding only four coppers, they left
them for stamps. They relieved MIR.

Of Star tobacco. At the post. office
they went through the money drawer
and safe, finding only two lonely
coppers which were left In the money
drawer BY Postmaster Wylde. The
coppsrs were not taken by the thief.

years of age, well dressed, tramped
into town after dark and was in the

and while he was lighting the lamps
the tramp disappeared. The tramp,
In conversation with some boys while

afterward. The supposition is that he
lay In hiding until Sunday morning
