IN FIGHT OVER SPollS
Pistol Duel Results, Following Iowa
Bank Robbery; Murderer
Is Wounded


Sioux City, Iowa, Sept. 12.-As a
sequel to the daylight robbery Of the
Farmers and Merchants bank Satur-
day afternoon, one member of the
bandit gang that held up Ralph Nj.
Tritz, the assistant cashier was killed
tonight during a pistol duel, follow
ing a quarrel over the division of the
spoils.
The police have been unable to
identify the murdered man. He was
positively identified by the bank cash
Ter, however, as one of the three high
waymen who took 1875 from the bank
after holding up Tritz and locking
him in the vault.
Charles NJ. Ford proprietor of a
small hotel, one of the men said to
have been in the house where the
murder occurred was arrested. He
told the police, third man, named
Paddy Driscoll, had been wounded
during the pistol fight.
j. NJ. Murphy, at whose home the
murder occurred declared that he
was just entering the house when he
heard the shots saw the murdered
man fall and two other me nleave the
place.
The robbery Of the Farmers and
Merchants bank occurred at 4:3O or
Saturday afternoon, at a time wher
hundreds of persons were in the
street nearby. Tritz was made to
throw up his hands by three mask
ed robbers. After the money had

bers overlooked $4,000 In the vault.

life by sending bullet through his
head. The house where the bandit
successfully held the police at bay
since before midnight is in popu-
lous residential district and thousands
of spectators, on sidewalks and build
ing tops, watched the gun fight.
Hugh McBeth, ledger who at
tempted to escape from the building
when the battle between the bandit
and police began, was shot twice thru
the head, probably fatally, by the
cross Gre.
Policeman Peter Hammond was
shot through the arms and legs by
Nelson.
Fire All Night Long
All night long the police directed
an intermittent fire into Nelson's
room from an upper window OF the
residence of Bishop Edwin II.
Hughes of the Methodist Episcopal
church, across the street and from
adjacent windows and housetops. A
powerful searchlight was placed in
the window of another dwelling house
across the street directly facing the
bandits room and by its glare the po-
lice centered their fire more or less
accurately. Shotguns, repeating ri.
fles and revolvers were used and
hardly a square inch of Nelson's
room escaped the raking fire. Short
ly before o'clock Nelson fired a
single shot and the effort of the po-
lice to bring a further response was
futile, although a score or more OF
shots were sent into the room.

Wilkinson is intimate with Made

With the coming Of daybreak the
officers entered the building and then
burst through Nelson's room.
Nelson Found Dead
Nelson had been dead more than
two hours. Three automatic pistols
and quantity of ammunition lay on
the table near the body. The floor
was Uttered with glass and splinters
Of wood and the walls were riddled
with shot.
There was bad wound near the
elbow Of Nelson's right arm and in
his efforts to staunch the flow of
blood he had fashioned q rude BAN
dage from towel. The police be-
lieve that Nelson's intense suffering,
combined with the knowledge that
daylight would result in his capture
caused him to send bullet through
his head. Four hundred dollars was
found among Nelson's belongings a
part of the loot, it was said from the
Los Angeles bank.
The police learned of Nelson's
whereabouts through the arrest last
night of William Jober companion
of the bandit in the Los Angeles rob-
berry. Jober was shot in the arm at
the time Of the bank robbery and
had just left the office of physician
when he was taken into custody. A
complete confession, the police said,
followed.
