at short intervals by the other tanks.
The fire spread among property of the

VICTIMS OF BURGLARS.
Detroit Policeman Killed and Special
officer Wounded.

Detroit, Nov. 19.-Patrolman John
Daley was shot down and murdered in
cold blood about midnight By one OF
two burglars whom he detected at
work in the rear of William Diedrich's
store at 25 Michigan avenue. Herbert
H. Pickell, special officer for the Mich
igan Central railroad, was shot through
the abdomen and probably fatally in
lured when he ran to the policeman
assistance.
The murder occurred in the heart
of the business district of Detroit. Pa
trolman Daley's revolver was found
within a few feet of the store window,
which the burglars had partially open
ed. He had evidently turned to fol-
low his assailants after he had receiv-
ed mortal wound through the chest
and fell on his face few yards off
In the direction which his assailants
had taken.
The patrolman's cry for help and the
noise of the shooting awoke the neigh
borhood and the desperadoes, pursued
by a constantly increasing crowd, dart
ed westward, Zigzagging between La
fayette avenue and the alley that par
allels the avenue half block north
ward officer Pickell was a leader in
the chase, having been within block
OF the scene when he heard the shot
that killed Patrolman Daley
Pickell had followed the murderers
nearly four blocks when they stopped
near Lafayette avenue and Third street
and shot him through the body The
bullet entered his abdomen and passed
out near the back bone. Having fired
several more shots and effectively in
timidating the pursuing crowd the fu-
gitiyes escaped in the direction of the
railroad yards that lie west of the
Michigan Central and Union depots.
