Bandits Begin the Battle.
The bandits, who knew they were
wanted for alleged completely in the
car-barn robbery and murders at Chi

the spot as fitted for a strong de-

them through the snow were fired upon

This opportunity was seized upon
by the fugitives, who ran from the
dugOut and boarded a Pennsylvania

Before reaching the town of Liverpool
they were discovered by the brake

and the bandits jumped from the train
and ran towards the Michigan tracks.
