FIGHT WITH ROBBERS After
desperate struggle with trio of men
suspected ofrobbing the Superior, Mich,
postofice of $15,0 in stamps and
money, six Ishpeming policemen wound
ed and capture two Of the men on train
which arrived at Ispheming, Mich,
yesterday. Marshal Fandrem was ad-
yised that three men suspected of the
postoffice robbery were on the train, and
that the conductor would identify them.
The Marshal and FIVE officers went to
West Ispheming, where the train was
boarded. The Marshal and two officers
took the rear of the coach, and Officer
Patrick Collins, in charge of squad,
guarded the front. The suspects were
on the alert, and two of them began
firing at the officers at the rear end of
the train as soon as they entered.
Meanwhile Collins and his assistants
had entered the front of the car. All
were driven back by two of the despera-
does, who threatened to shoot if they
advanced another foot Collins and his
men retreated. Finding the rear door
of the car blocked the robbers ran to the
front end, where they again met Collins.
One of them raised his revolver to shoot
collins, but the officer fired first, send
ing bullet through the mans hand.
The wounded man threw up his hands,
begging the officers not to kill him.
Meanwhile shots were being exchanged
between Fandrem and a second suspect.
Finally bullet from the MarshaPs re-
volyer lodged in the suspects back and
he surrendered. The third suspect es-
capped to the woods. About 500 was
found in the pockets of the two men.
Much of this was in small change.

as their previous efforts in this line have
always met with exceedingly great sue
cess, local theatregoers VIII look FORWARD
20 a genuine treat during the coming
week. No funnier farce could have been
chosen than THE Man From Mexico.
II fairly teens with funny lines and situ-
ations. and fun wakes fast and furious
from the very outset.

tions which result from a lark In which
Benjamin Fitzhew and his friend, Col
Roderick Majors, participate, while t'ltz-
hew's wife IL away from home one even
ing. On their return from nearby
music hall. they have an argument with
a cab-man and a fiery little Dutchman.
Fitzhew ~ arrested, and sentenced 10 jail
for thirty days. He is allowed to re-
turn home TO prepare for his soiourn 10
pr1son. and instead of telling his wife
the truth, he tells her ne Is going 20
Mexico on business She offers 20 ac-
company him, and IL Is only by a great
deal OF persuading from Majors and Fitz-
hew that she remains at home. The next
scene pictures Fttzhew in prison, where
the warden Is his personal friend.
There he is followed by the Dltchman
and further difficulties are provided and
barely escaped from in the form or a
visit 20 the jail by his wife and some
other ladies from a charitable society

trip 10 Mexico. he finds his troubles are
not over by any means. He Is expected
TO know all about Mexico and Mexicans

tions. tie fun developes into n perfect

II n laugh In every Ene OF this funny
farce, and there is no doubt but that the

The seventh was a lusty inning
from the Rock, Island standpoint.
Green gave the right kind of a start
by touching up Letheby for two
bases. Donnelly singled, Graham did
likewise and Green came across the
plate. Donnelly was caught at home
on Gray's liner to first. Rebsamen's
two-bagger was opportune and Ora

high for the second baseman to reach
and brought Gray in. Dickey was de-
