fired and a possible wound for the get
away" The stranger was seen by the mar
shall in a pool hall and apparently became
nervous under the close scrutiny Of the
officer and made for the door. Draper
followed, but on reaching the outside, dis
covered the man to be sprinting full speed
up the street. At first he paid no at
tention to the marshal's command to halt,
At the second command, the stranger half
turned and drawing an ugly looking gun
sent a bullet whizzlng close to the officer
head. He then cut across lots in the d.
rection Of the Burlington yards. Draper
got one shot at him as ne took to the
lots and another as he passed a stres Il
lisht. 1t is probable that the fellow was
hit, but he did not slacken speed and
coon disappeared in the shadow Of the
yards. Later on, Sheriff Kennedy, Chief
Towsley and the night marshal found thu
mans outfit, consisting OF an overcoat
stolen at Ravenna and a fine saddle,
at a hotel on the north side, where he
had registered under the single name OF
James. As a fast train wa just pulling
out for the east, when the fugitive, reached
the yards, it is presumed he caught tha
