Boston, July 24.-After three deadly
battles between three desperadoes,
the police and a small army of citi-
zens, the first encounter being in a
barroom, the second in the peaceful
streets of Jamaica Plains and the

one of the bandits was riddled with
bullets and killed; a second, believed
to be wounded, was being searched for
in the cemetery, while the third was
captured.
The desperadoes left behind them
In their trail of over a mile and a
half two dead and eleven wounded.
The desperadoes' career of terror
started by the shooting up" of the
saloon of Winterston & McManus on
washington street. Shortly before the
closing hour when the barroom was
full of men, three men, apparently
Italians, made their appearance at the
door and shouted All hands up"
When the shooting was over it was
found that Frank ]. Drake had been
killed, Patrick Doran had received a
bullet in the abdomen and Thomas
Winterston had been shot at the base
of the skull and in the left arm.
The police made a careful search
all night long without result, but later
two men were discovered in Calvary
cemetery. When the desperadoes
found that they were pursued they
drew their revolvers and, with a yell,
began firing on all sides. The first
person hit was Mrs. Della Fallon, who
was walking down South street. Off
Ger Ingliss then received a bullet in
the leg. The men passed through Cum
ningham field, Lee street and into
New Keyes street, down which they
ran directly into Washington street
On Washington street, where electric
cars are passing almost incessantly
and hundreds of people were walking,
the two men fired shot after shot
They commanded everybody to hold
up their hands and even ordered the
motorman of an approaching car te
stop The motorman dropped behind
the dashboard and the conductor
Thomas Moore, who stepped off the
trnlahIn
ceiyed a bullet in the leg. Michae
Finn picked up a stone to hurl at the
bandits and received one bullet in the
head over the right ear and another
passed over the left ear, knocking of
his hat. Patrick McGinn was shot il
the wrist, Thomas Flemming in th'
hand and John Nolan received bulle
in the arm, while John III. Wrightmar
carries two bullet holes in his trouser!

Keyes street to a sand hill, wher'
they stopped and, according to som
men and boys who watched them
