store. One posted himself in front
the other two in the rear of the store
where the burglars were working.
Second Man Shot.
The sheriff seized his man and had
no trouble in putting him hors de conf
bat. The second man, however got
out and ran down the alley. the sher-
ih after him. The fusilade was appar-
emily effective, for the sheriff had two
guns with him and fired all the shots
from both after the fleeing burglar.
At one shot the fugitive was seen to
stagger and reel against the fence,
after which he ran with difficulty.
It is thought he will be captured. The
sheriff was compelled to give up the
chase because it was thought at that
time that there were four men in the
gang. and he feared the Waterman and
marshal might be operpowered.
The men We're plainly experts. The
one captured gave his name as Frank
Wilson of Independence. but this is
supposed to be incorrect.
