DARING THIEVES.
Running Fight Between Them
and Posse Beyond AtI|lboro.

A desperate encounter in which one
man was shot occurred at Norton. five
miles from Taunton last night. The skir-
msh was between four alleged wool
thieves and a posse that lay in wait for
them.
The man shot gave the name Of Diego
Tishler and said he was a junk dealer of
Wrentham. He also gave other names.
all of which are believed to be fictitious
He was one of the alleged thieves. lie
was badly wounded and was removed to
Morton hospital I'm Taunton.
The other three men escaped. but IL is
thought one or more OF them was wound
ed. Although the aim of the thieves was
good during the running fight of a quar-
ter of a mile none Of the pursuers was
hit
The skrmlsh occurred on the land of
George III. Talbot. just outside Norton
Center. In the field at distance from
Talbots mill Is "a storehouse i'm which
was large quantity of finished product.
Two weeks ago a large amount OF this
was missed. Deputy Sherlffs Nerney of
Attleboro and Perry of Mansfield were
notified. and nine nights ago they decided
to wait a second return of the thieves.
Last night the two sheriffs with Walter,
George and Frank Talbot took up posi-
ton in secluded spot not far from the
storehouse. and about o'clock the watch
ers saw four men approach the store
house. They broke the lock and entered.
The poose surrounded the building and
called on those inside to surrender. The
four men had no intention of being taken,
and made a rush out of the door and pa [
the guards. The officers opened fire as
they pursued them. The men lost no time
i'm returning the compliment, and the fir
INK on both sides was continued several
minutes.
A bullet from a revolver In the hands
of one of the posse brought down one
OF the men after the exchange of sew
eral shots, and the actions of others of
the pursued indicated that they had been
wounded.
Tishler was removed 10 Mr.. Talbot's
house, where he was attended by doc
tors from Norton and Atteboro. They
did not find the bullet Later he was
removed TO the hospital in Taunton.
Quarter OF a mile from the scene of
the fight two horses and wagons which
belonged To the men were found. These
the officers seized and one was claimed
by the injured man.
IL Is thought all the men were from
Pawtucket or this city.
