the corner of the hardware store.
Slipping down the fire escape he ap-
in time to hear the glass in the rear
door crash. When the marshall ar
rived at the door, one of the men was
climbing through the broken glass.
He Immediately drew his revolver and
flourishing It in the air, commanded
the miscreants to throw up their
hands. With the burglars It was a
case of run or be captured and de-
spite the fact that they were almost
looking into the muzzle of the mar
shal's gun they made away. Mr..
NIeister fired several shots after them
but apparently missed his mark.
When the marshall opened fire there
was a disturbance in the hardware
store and soon a half dozen Caledonia
detectives emerged through the brok-
en- door. John Iden, George Glathart,
Lloyd lden, Shorty" Stuart and
Homer Stuart had fortified them
selves in the store and we're just
about to open fire on the burglars
when the marshall appeared on the
scene.
The party then organized and be-
gan a diligent chase for the fleeing
burglars. They chased them through
the alleys, firing their revolvers at
every opportunity. Frank Bayles
had left the K. of p. hall and was
ptt In ,,sI,a ls
met the burglars. He fired on them
and they turned and hastily retraced
their footsteps only to run into the
posse.
Finally the pair took refuge in the
barn at the rear of the Sickle sa-
loon. Here the posse assembled and
every possible means of driving them
out was discussed. Edward Paxton, a
young boy of sixteen years displayed
Exceptional nerve at his point and
VOLUNTEERED to enter the barn and
make the search. Rather than allow
him to go alone the marshall accom-
panied him. A search of the haymow
was fruitless, however, and the men
returned to their homes to await un-
til daylight.
! Sunday morning about s o'clock
Dill De Haven, a Caledonia resident,
heard someone grOaning In the Sickle
barn. Going to the haymow, he found
Delaney suffering from a bullet wound
in the left ankle, Ramsey later
crept out from under the hay and
requested that DeHaven call a physi-
elan TO look after hie friends
wounds. While DeHaven went into
the house to telephone the pair
escaped.
I About 10 o'clock, Sunday morning
Delaney was caught while hobbling
westward on the Erie railroad tracks.
Ramsey was captured by Cooper Gey-
er and Roy Henry, who were hunting
him on horses. They found him
about three miles from Caledonia and
compelled him to walk ahead of the
horses with his hands extended in the
air, while at every step they threat.
Iened him with instant death in case
that he tried to escape.
! The men were given a hearing be-
fore Mayor Thomas Gruber Sunday
I evening. They pleaded not guilty
and were bound over to the grand jury
under bond OF $500 apiece. They were
unable to furnish bail and were
I brought to this city and placed in the
county Jail.
Before bringing Delaney to the city
Or. Baker was summoned and an
ugly wound in his left ankle was
dressed, A thirty-two calibre ball
had shattered the ankle bone.
The county authorities are OF the
, opinion that the pair are the burglars
that raided Cstrander last Friday
morning and thorough investigation
will be conducted.
