ROBBER REsISTS AN OFFICER
Stolen Goods Were Found IN His

Freedom-Got Officers Gun and
Fired Twice. +an

Marshalltown, Sept. 1.-THE ind
Ing OF fur boas near Jackson street
yesterday led to the arrest Of two per-
sons charged with the theft Of $4,000
worth of furs from II. Singer Monday
night. A search warrant was issued
for the home Of Tom Lowery, (color-
ed), 7O3 Jackson street, and Ohcers
Mike Clark and William Lage detailed
to search the premises. When they
entered the house they found a cloak
valued at SIS hidden in a bed. AS
soon as this was found a colored man
named Austin ran from the room, fol-
lowed by Officer Lage, who fred three
shots but failed to hit. Austin ran to
the vicinity Of the glucose works and
hid in the weeds.
The officer took the buggy Of the
mail carrier and followed, overtak1ng
Austin and arresting him. While ne
was searching his man he laid his re-
volver on the buggy seat. Austin
made a lunge, obtained possession OF
the gun. and fight for its possession
took place. The officer felled his man
but it required both hands to hold
him and the gun could not be taken
from him. The negro fired two shots
with the revolver close to the head
Of the officer, but was warded on by
Lagos arm, the wrist Of which shows
marks of the shots and Is badly powd-
erburnt. One ball glazed his head.
Officer Clark meanwhile took the
woman in charge and searched the
house. At about last evening the
goods were found hidden in hay in the
barn in the rear Of the house. 1t Is
thought the whole amount has been
recovered, as there are Twenty-Five
pieces in the police court. Lowery
was arrested for harboring them and
being implicated. Austin has bad
record. and is reported to have come
here from Oskaloosa. It was neces-
sary to place handouts on Austin to
get him to Jail.
