AT BAY IN COAL MINE
Murderer Takes Refuge In Shaft
After Blowing Victims
Head OF.
CANNOT SMOKE HIM OUT

Aged Misereant Maddened BY Losses
at cards, Holds the Fort With shots
gun With Which He Killed Winnes
of His Property-Fires on PWrsNsFz
From Mouth OF Pit.
Linton, Ind, Nov 26-Brooding over
his losses in poker game and becom-
ing enraged at the man who won hia
money, Louis Shulley, who is interest.
ed in coal mines In this county, shot
and killed William Waters, a rich mer.
chant, in the cafe Of Otto Davis. The
murderer fed, carrying with him tbs
shotgun with which he committed the
deed, and Is now hiding in coal shaft
near the town. He is complete master
of the devious passages that stretch
out from the bottom of the shaft and
holds his pursuers OF. Shuiley has
fortified himself with ammunition and
provisions to last him many days. AS
long as he holds out he will keep 5Ga
miners from going to work In tha
shaft.
Lost Entire Properly at Cards.
Shulley, seventy-one years old, has
been desperate poker player for many
years, and every week he was accus-
toned to spend many hours at the
game. He played often with his friend
Waters. The two started in the game
early and played through the afternoon
and the night. Shulley lost heavily
from the first, but with recklessnesa
plunged not only every cent Of money
he had, but his property. Waters cool
ly '.saw" ShulIey's wagers, and, though
two other men in the game won occa-
sionally, Waters got practically all Of
Shulley's money
Having lost all his property, ShulIey
was compelled to quit the game. He
sat around watching the other men.
Presently he left the room and w~.tt
downstairs. He was out only short
time. Quietly re-entering the room
where the game was still in progress,
he drew shotgun from the folds of
his long overcoat, aimed carefully at
Waters, whose back was turned, and
with single shot blew off the top of
Waters head. Waters fell forward on
the table upon the scattered cards. He
died before his companions, Mortified
by the tragedy, could pick him up.
Opens Fire on Pursuers.
Shulley rushed away to the home of
his son-in-law. Leveling the gun at
the young mans breast, he compelled
him to hand over a small amount Of
money. With that ShuIley purchased
provisions and set in a supply Of am
munition. He hastened to the Towe<
Hill mine, where he descended the
shaft He was followed to the mouth
of the shaft, but when the police start
ed to go down a shot rang out and a
voice warned them that death would
be the penalty of any man who tried
to descend. No one can climb down
the slender ladder without carrying q
lantern, and in that event he will be
perceived instantly by Shulley. Straw
was collected, rammed into the mouth
of the shaft and ignited. That ruse
proved a failure, and there is no doubt
that Shulley, alone in the great mine
in utter darkness, can hold his foes OF
for many days.
