did Nelson fight long, gruelling fights,

Natchoss Killed
By Michigan Posse
Kills Deputy Sheriff; Body Riddled
With Bullets in Last Fight

Marquette, Mich, June 25-George
Natchoss, who escaped week ago
Friday from the State Penitentiary
here and who has been surrounded in
swamp between Maple Ridge and
Escanaba sine last Wednesday, was
killed by posse here today. The
mans body was riddled with bullets
and although he was alive when search
ers found him, he died just as he
reachd the hospital.
After possee made up of virtually
all of the able-bodied men in this vi
cinity surrounded Natchoss, he shot
and killed deputy sheriff Frank Moran
last Wednesday and shot Lieut.. ]. C.
Cleghorn of the state police through
the leg. Natchoss was wounded early
in the hunt and was traced by blood
spattered on shrubbery in the swamp,
but he evaded his pursuers for more
than four days.
Today the posse of riflemen, aug
mented by every available farmer in
the district surrounded the swamp in
which Natchoss was hiding. The posse
was led by Lieut. Cleghorn, who had
been wounded earlier in the chase. The
attackers crept up on the hiding place
of the fugitive and raked the under
brush with volleys of shots.
For several moments the fugitive
returned thefire but finally the shots
ceased. Officers fearing a trap, ad.
vanced cautiously but finally one Of
them caught sight of Natchoss lying
on the ground, with gun by his side
The mans body was filled with wounds
from bullets and he gave evidence Of
having fought his pursuers until he
was unable to hold a gun.
