admirers as remarkable.

senger, Saves PAYROLL.

New York, May 80 James 7. Whit
ress, bank messenger, fought in the
street yesterday with four highwaymen,
who leaped into his carriage and at
tempted to wrest from him the payroll
of the Nathan Manufacturing Co. Re-
sisting their efforts to subdue him with
rifle, a revolver and clubs, he strug-
gled to such good purpose that he saved
the money, although he was shot in the
arm and his scalp was laid open with
blow from a club.
Policemen on fixed post heard the
shooting and ran to his aid. At their
approach the highwaymen fed. One of
them was shot by a bluecoat; another
was captured after thrilling chase;
two of them escaped. Wintress was
taken to a hospital; the two prisoners
were held without bail by the police
and squad of detectives was rushed
to the upper East Side to search for the
highwaymen who escaped.
