or badly beaten up, as the result of
! q desperate battle between five officers
and three men whom they tried to
arrest.
The dead
JOHN SHEA, detective.
AL ROSE, suspect.
THOMAS DWYER, detective.
The wounded:
James McCluskey, detective; shot
through stomach; critical.
C. c. Blair, fugitive; shot four times
through body; critical
Harry H. Vaughn, fugitive; badly
beaten about head by detectives when
he sought to aid his friends in the
battle.
The fight took place in the front
room of a house on Pine street and
the men whom the detectives sought
to arrest are suspected of being i'm
plicated in a train robbery at Cen
tralia, ILL.,, a few weeks ago. The
house had been under police surveil-
lance for several days, but this was
the first time that any of the suspects
was seen to enter or leave.
A few minutes before the fighting
Vaughn left the house and started to
walk down Pine street. The detectives
closed in on him and after he had
gone some Instance the mouse
he was arrested. Accompanied by
their prisoner, the detectives returned
and entered the house. Shea, McClus-
key and Dwyer were leading; Boyle
and James were behind with their
prisoner. Hardly had the detectives
entered the room in which Rose and
Blair were seated, when they were
met with a series of shots from
heavy calibre revolver. Shea sank to
the floor on the first shot and Dwyer
followed almost instantly.
BY that time the detectives had
drawn their revolvers and there was a
deafening exchange of shots for sew
eral seconds, each man pulling the
trigger of his weapon as rapidly as
possible.
During the excitement Vaughn at
tempted to escape from his captors
and assist Rose and Blair.
Boyle and James, however dubbed
their revolvers and beat their pris-
oner over the head until he was I'M
conscious and then they went to the
aid of Shea, Dwyer and McCluskey,
the latter having in the meantime
sunk to the floor with a critical wound
in the stomach. One of the unwound-
ed detectives summoned an ambulance
and the wounded officers and suspects
were taken to the city hospital.
