ROBBERS BEAT
SHOOT OFFICER,
ESCAPE SEARCH
Night Policeman Of New
Rockford Is Attacked by
Trio Robbing Store
BEATEN, THEN SHOT
Crawls to Restaurant and
Spreads Alarm-Three Men
Held, Then Released

New Rockford, N. D., Nov. l8.-(By
the A. P)-Eddy county officials to-
day were searching for three burg
lars who early yesterday morning
shot and battered E. S. Morris, New
Rockford night patrolman, when he
tried to arrest them for their at
tempted burglary Of the Jamke Con-
fectionery here. Three men, suspect
ed Of the crime, were apprehended
several hours later ut Casselton but
were freed to the satisfaction OF the
police.
Morris wounds, while serious, are
not expected to prove fatal.
According to Morris, he was max
ing his usual early morning rounds
when he espied the three men, one
Of them tall and the other two
short, trying to force the lock at the
confectionery. When he asked them
what they were doing and tried to
arrest them, he said, they pounced
him, striking him four times over
the head with pick handle. Appar-
emily not satisfied with this attack,
he said. one Of the men shot him.
Morris managed to drag himself to
u restaurant that was open and, af-
ter telling several diners Of the at
fair, tainted. They secured the town
and railroad yards for the men, to
no avail. A call was sent to Cassel-
ton to arrest the three men should
they appear there. In a round up
there three men were arrested but
later proved their identity and were
freed.
Bullet In Arm
The bullet, fired from .3S calibre
revolver, entered Morris back under
the right shoulder blade, passed
through the lung, then went through
kahe breast and entered the right
arm in the biccps muscle. In addi-
tion the bullet carried small wad
Of fur lining from Morris coat all
the way through his body and then
imbedded it with the bullet in the
arm. Morris also sustained four Sc
we're scalp wounds as a result Of the
attack with a pick handle, each cut
being about two inches long. Unless
unforeseen complications set in, how
ever, physicians say he will recover.
