instantly killed by Patrick Hayes, also
miner, just as he was leaving his board

and shot through a screen door as Nc

Shot McCnine In the Back.
Hayes started the row by striking a
girl who worked at the place. After his

costed the girl, daring her to put her
head out of a window. Then, still filled
with thirst for revenge, he asked for
McCaine, who had befriended the girl dur

Hayes remained in and about the house
during the day, and in the evening when
McCaine was going to work in the mine,
where he was employed, Hayes shot him
in the back as he was passing out of the
door.
Hayes is about 80 years OF age and un-
married.
Hayes is still at large and the entire

are searching for him.

DESPERATE ROBBERS
CAPTURED BY POLICE
HELD UP CHINESE TAILOR SHOP AND LATER WAS DISC0v-
Erred ENDEAv0RNG TO SELL THE
GOODS.

The tailoring shop of Chung Lee, at
%! East Park street, was held up by
two desperadoes last night, who stole
several bolts of goods, but only few
moments elapsed after the robbery be-
fore the highwaymen We're in the GUS
tody of the police.
At about o'clock two men entered
the tailoring shop and producing re-
vOlver commanded Chung Lee and an
assistant to put up their hands. Lee
was very much excited and instead OF
obeying the order picked up weight
of some kind and hurled it at the in
truders. His aim was poor and the mis-
sile crashed through the window.
With the crash of the glass one of the
men hurriedly picked up five bolts Of
cloth and both made a run for the door.
Two boys hearing the crash of glass and
seeing the two men running started
after them and thought they saw them
enter a cabin on the east side. The boys
accompanied the Cinnamon to the Jail
and told the story of the robbery. Chief
OF Police Lavell and Sergeant McGrath
went out in search of the men under the
guidance Of the boys but it is evident
that in the interval that the two rob-
Eers had left the cabin. Shortly after
fled Captain Leyden and Officer Nc
Donald that there were two men in the
store who were trying to sell quantity
of cloth.
Officer Mcdonald entered the store and
when he had reached the middle of the
room a man stood up behind the counter
and leveled gun at him. Mcdonald
acted quickly and knocking the gun in
the air delivered the man blow on thu,
jaw that quoted him for the moment.
A second man ran for the door and an
attache called out that he was the other
man wanted. The fugitive made a dash
up the stairway in the Oakland block
but Officer Ferns was deck and
caught him as he was making his es-
cape down the back way. The man who
had pulled the gun on Officer Mcdonald
fought desperately and had to be
handled roughly before he would con-
sent to accompany the officer to the
station.
At the police station the men gave the
names of George Hammond and Frank
Shaddock. the former being the one who
handled the gun. Hammond was arrest
ed on January 4, under the name of
Mike Burke, and charged with breaking
into box car and stealing a quantity
of oranges and eggs. The case was
turned over to the county attorney and
his case is now pending.

had reached point near Silver and

a man who put gun under his nose and
commanded him to hold up his hands.
He resisted the attack and the robbar
struck him. Soss then allowed the man
to have his own way nd the robber re-
lieved him of $50 Chief of Police Lavell
and Mr.. Soss made trip to the neigh
borhood of the hold-up but the robber

ers in the Jail and set opposite their
names the offense with which they were
charged. In the list was the following
with reference to Burke:
michael Burke ~Arrested on January
at about II O'Clock in the forenoon.
Don't know what he was arrested for.
No attorney. Case to be investigated"
Burke had been arrested two days be-
fore the court house changed hands and
there was nothing on the books of the
Jail to show the nature of the charge
against him.
About two days after Sheriff Furey
took his Office Burke was found to be
suffering from a severe attack of pneu-
mona and his removal to the county
hospital was ordered by the county ply
sican. When taken from the Jail it was
thought he would not recover, but it
seems he did recover and skipped from
the hospital as soon as he could possibly
do so for fear the real charge against
him might be discovered. When arrested
by the police department last night he
gave his name as George Hammond, but
the officers at once recognized him as
the man who had been arrested on the
4th under the name of Michael Burke
on charge Of breaking the seal of &.

OF lemons from the car.
