Colt revolver that was later found
In his pocket and started shooting,
there would have been quite little
fracas IN that saloon. 1t was pretty
we'll crowded ut the time and doubt
less several would have been wound
ed or perhaps killed. The bandit also
had razor and big bowie knife
in his pockets.

what had happened. He gave one lit

CasLcs In.
"All right; give me chance to
cash in" were the only words he
said. He had about $40 worth OF
chips on the board in front OF him and
he gos their equivalent In cash from
the banker. TIE officers marched him
to the city lookup. then situated In
the little gray brick building on Court
street, about where P. NJ. Longs of
fee now is in the Goh building
AL 1.-The way up to the police station
the bandit maintained grim silence
and after reaching there the COM
bIned efforts OF the police chief and
the men who made the arrest to get
Woodland to say anything were of no
avail. He remained sitting in a chair,
stolid, lmplacable, Indifferent, with a
trace Of q sneer upon his face.
Finally, one or the officers handed
him a card which had been sent out
by the Tltusville police. and which
bore half-tone picture of himself,
together with a description Of his nor
aonal appearance. He gave one glance
at the card. put 1t between his thumb
and foreanger. sailed 1t with a re-
volvlng motion clear across the room
and said with a sneer:
Hell, that don't look any more
like me than q goat.
Taken Across Line.
And that was Ill the local police
ever got out OF Woodland. He re-
NAMED in the lookup here three or
four days awaiting arrangements to
take him back to Tltusvllle. It was
finally planned to have two Clarks-
burg police take him to point just
across the Pennsylvania state line,
where policemen from Titusville met
them and took the bandit back to
that city.
One OF the most interesting fea-
lures about the capture OF Woodland.
especially to the officers who brought
Il about. was the fact that
they pulled down the neat little sum
OF $4,000 In cash for their work. the
amount of the rewards that had been
offered by the Pennsylvania authori-
ties for the apprehension OF the ban
dit. This reward. by an agreement
previously made by the officers, was
split three ways among them.
