George, Reeves, county jailer, IL
dead and three gunner and safe
blowers-known as the dandy ban
dit" trio-are at large pursued by
every available officer in the city fol-
lowing a sensational but hurriedly
planned Jail delivery at the county
Jail Tuesday shortly after IL o'clock.
The men at large are:
Alden Shaw, Clyde Hamilton and
e. B. Kelly. Hamilton fired the shot
which resulted in Reeves death.
Hamilton was wounded three times
but made his escape bleecing pro-
fusely.
Reeves died at st. Joseph's Hos

The single shot which proved fatal
to the jailer, according to hospital
authorities, entered the lower left
abdomen, severing main artery.

the bandits own gun from him:
Hamilton was lying in the Jail door
way when his pal, Shaw, handed the
prcstrate bandit a second pistol.
Hamilton raised himcslf on his ell
bow and pulled the trigger once with
fatal results.
The escape came within few min

three robbers and an attorney. It
was said by sveral jeil attaches that
a fifth man was in the conference,
but this could not be verified Some
officers believed that the bandit Sc
