BIG FIGHT OCCURRED BETWEEN
OFFICERS AND PRISONERS
NEAR SPRINGFIELD.
HID IN A G
Murderers In Wagon Driven BY Farm
er who Was Forced to Drive
Them Toward
Springfield.

Louisville, Neb., March 10. - The
three convicts, Gray, Dowd and Nor
ley, who, last week murdered three Of
ficials at the state p%enitentiary at Lin
coin, were surrounded from Omaha,
Lincoln and Plattsmouth. All three
were shot dead.
The outlaws were driven towards
Springfield in a sleigh by Roy Blunt,
a farmer who resides three miles
north of town. The %convicts lay down
in the body of the vehicle forcing the
farmer to expose himself to the bull
let's of the posse as soon as they get
within fire distance.
The three convicts approached the
Blunt home and ordered the farmer
to take them in his sleigh to Spring
field. He refused at first, but they COW
cred him with their guns and ordered
him to make haste to start. The first
of the pursuing posses was a mile be-
hind the fleeing %convicts. Two other
posses were a short distance in the
rear.
A special train came from Omaha
and another already had arrived from
Plattsmouth carrying large posses.
Another came from Lincoln, bearing
a sheriff's posse and a body of nation
al guard.
The three murderers, Taylor, Morley
and DOWd, spent Friday night, all day
Saturday and part OF Saturday night
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Elmer
Hall, on a farm, five miles east and a
mile north Of Havelock. After tying
Mr.. and Mrs. Hall SO securely that they
could not liberate themselves, they
tore the telephone instrument from it's
place, cut out the wire and left the
Hall home at 1880 p. M, Saturday.
During their stay they compelled the
people at the farmhouse to serve them
with meals and permitted no one to
leave the house.
After leaving the Hall home, the
outlaws went to Prairie Home, OBJ
tanned q handcar and went to Mordock.
where they burglarized two stores and
secured arms, ammunition and cloth
ing. Later they ditched the stolen
hardcar at Meadow, threw the car into
the Missouri river and started north
toward Omaha en- foot.

posed to haunt the place ever since.
Years ago one OF these tenants de-
scribed her own gruesome experiences
within it's walls, and | we'll remember
her story of a mysterious and invisi-
BILE shape that brushed by her one
evening as she stood On the landing
and sent the little dog in her arms
into a fit of terror. The next owner
of the property was DR.. May, whose
family were pursued by Ill luck for
many years. The sad story of DR..
Mays daughter, Mrs. William c. Whit
ley, who died after prolonged suffer
ings, is still fresh in the public mem
DRY. Afterward the house was the
scene of a terrible tragedy, for it was
there that a woman well known in
New York society killed herself and
her little children. The Burrelles
used the lower floors Of the house as
the offices of their clipping bureau and
them there once, and Mrs. Burrelle,
who apparently knew nothing OF its
reputation, told me hat they liked
the house, but had been much an
noyed by mysterious sounds, and
more than once had distinctly heard
some one whom they were unable to
see tramping up and down the great
winding st~aircases. Mr.. Burrelle died
at sea and his wife followed him a
few years later. The house, which
has since made way for a loft building,
Is Well remembered by old New York
residents.
