ROSS GAVE ROBBER A CHASE
Plucky Conductor Follows Highwaymen

POLICE UNABLE TO SECURE ANY CLUE
J. D. I.nlrd , from Exeter , In. , Tnken

Wltnenn In llootlccRliiK CIIMC
RONH' Wounilfi Not Scrloim.
The police have ! bcen unable to eccuro any
clue that would lead to the Identification
or arrest of the two highwaymen who held
up and shot Motor Conductor Ross about
midnight Saturday In front of the Bloomer
school building on Willow avenue. The two
bullets which lodged In the back of Ross'
right hand were extracted yesterday mornIng -
Ing and , except for the soreness of the
wound , ho was very llttlo the worse for his
exciting adventure.
The particulars of the hold-up as told by
Rosti yesterday show that It was a most dar
ing ono. Rosa was accompanying a lady
friend homo and had reached the Bloomer
school when they were stopped by two men
whoso faces were partially disguised by
handkerchiefs as masks , who ordered him
to hold up his hands. Ho compiled with
the demand , as the shorter of the two men
had him covered with a revolver. While
the taller fellow went through his pockets
the other thug kept Ross covered , the re
volver being within a foot of his face.
After rifling his pockets and securing
about $26 In money and his gold watch and
chain the thugs started west on Willow
avenue on the run. Just oa they started to
run Ross * companion tore the handkerchief
partly off the face of the robber with the
gun and thus was able to get a good look
at his face. She Is certain she would be
aible to Identify him If she over saw him
again.
Ross , as soon as the robbers ran , started
after them. At Eighth street the pair sep
arated , the taller of the two turning south
whllo the other continued west on the
avenue. Ross followed the fellow who
turned eouth and was close on his heels
when ho saw a man coming toward them ,
tie called out to him to catch the robber
and the man made a grab at the fleeing
thug. The robber stumbled , but quickly re
gained his feet. Ross continued the chase
and at the alley between Third and Fourth
avcnuo was within a few feet of him when
Lhc fellow stopped , drew his revolver and
Srod point blank at Ross. Ross threw out
tils hands and the two shots hit him In the
back of the right hand. A third shot went
wild.
This satisfied Ross and he decided to take
no more chances , but returned to where ho
had left his companion. He then went tea
a doctor to have his wounds dressed and
after calling at the police etntlon was taken
to St. Bernard's hospital , where Dr. Seybert
removed the two bullets , which were firmly
lodged in the muscles of the hand. It was
fortunate for Ross ( liat ho was holding his
hands in the position ho did when the thug
fired or otherwise the bullets would have
entered his body with probably far moro
serious results.
Officer George Wilson , who had been at
tracted by the shooting , trailed the fellow
who shot Ross from Fourth avenue and
Blghth street to the Sprague Iron works at
Tenth avenue , where .he caught sight of
lira. The officer was" about half a block
behind 'the ' thug , who was running. He
called on him to bait , but the fellow merely
ncreased his pace. Wilson fired twice , but
the range was too long and the officer's
quarry made his way Into the vacant lots
near the foundry , which are overgrown with
sunflowers ten feet high , and escaped.
Yesterday morning Lelgh > Ballengcr , a son
of Attorney H. A. Ballenger , whllo passing
along Willow avenue , picked up a $5 bill
and 30 cents In small change , which the rob-
aers had evidently dropped after starting to
run. The money taken from Ross consisted
of three $5 bills , ono $5 gold piece and
about $5 In silver and small change.
C. Sylvester , a witness In a bootlegging
case in the federal court from the eastern
part of the state , who had a companion
arrested a couple of days ago on a charge
of stealing his revolver , bobbed up at the
police station last ovenlng and accused J. D.
Laird , another witness , from Extra , la. , of
being ono of the thugs who held up Ross.
Ho told Iho police he had overheard Laird
talking about the holdup and admitting ho
was Implicated In It. Laird was taken Into
custody , but denied the charge nnd In turn
accused Sylvester of either being crazy
from drink or mentally deranged. The po
lice , although they placed no credence In
Sylvester's story , decided to lock both of
them up over night on the charge of being
vagrants.

SIOUX CITY , Sept 24. ( Special. ) Con
gressman Uobort J. Gamble of South Da
kota doclarefl that the First South Dakota
men are heartily In accord with the policy
of the present administration with refer
ence to the war In the Philippines. Ho has
been at San Francisco to greet the returning
mon and spent ono whole day on board the
Sheridan with the roglmtnent before It came
ashoro. Ho stopped In Sioux City onrouto to
his homo at Yankton.
Speaking of the adjustment of the difficul
ties between Colonel Frost and the other
ofllcors of the regiment , Congressman Oam-
blo said :
"In my Interview with Colonel Frost and
the officers on the Sheridan I found they
wore all willing to adjust the difficulties
which had arisen and on account of which
three ofilcors had been arrested for writing
letters denouncing Colonel Frost to Senator
Pettlgrow nnd which were published In
South Dakota papers. They all denounced
Senator Pottlgrow most emphatically for his
breach of confidence In publishing letters
that ho know were not lor the eyes of the
public. Had It not been for his willingness
to take advantage of his correspondents the
whole affair would have blown over and
there never would have been any trouble.
"It was very easy to understand from the
statements made by subordinate officers that
during the terrible times around San Fer
nando , after they had been 125 days on the
firing line nnd with disease nnd death about
them , they felt very much depressed. They
wore willing to admit they magnified tholr
distress and charged things against Colonel
Frost when ho was blameless.
"I finally got Colonel Frost , Major Wnrnc ,
Lieutenant Colonel Stover and Lieutenant
Bates together , and the matter was all
talked over. The subordinate officers vol
untarily proposed to inako written state
ments , -which subsequently appeared , ex
onerating the colonel from the charges made
In tbo letters. Colonel Frost stated that
the retractions which his officers proposed ,
were oven more ample than anything In that
line which ho would ask of them , but they
Insisted on going to the fullest limits In
their public statements. As a result of this
conference with Congressman Burke I went
to see General Shatter , to whom the charges
had been presented. Finally , wo succeeded
In getting the charges withdrawn , and the
matter was satisfactorily settled to the
credit of the men and to the state from
which they came. "

DEADWOOD , S. D. , Sept. 24. ( Special. )
Last summer a number of Colorado men vis
ited Dcadwood and made a careful exami
nation of the phonollte belt. They reported
favorably at ihomo and the organization of
a company In. which some of the most prom
inent mining operators In Colorado are In
terested Is the result. The company has
bonded the old Ironsides mlno In Carbonate
Camp , which la owned by Frank Bryant and
others , the consideration being $75,000.
Ono of the Colorado1 men states that the
"valuo of'the ere has Increased 100 per cent
In the thirty feet of drifting that has ( been
done since work began ! , The Ironsides mine
Is located about ten miles west of this city
In the heart of the phonollto belt and Bain-
plea of sylvanlto ere taken this week from
the mine have been exhibited on the streets
of Deadwood. The formation of the mlno Is

DEADWOOD , S. D. , Sept. 24. ( Special. )
The old saying , "Gold Is where you find
It , " was never itnoro true than In the Grantz
strike of gold ere three miles southwest ot
here. Enough ore has already 'been ' taken
out to make a fortune for ono family nnd
there Is enough ere In eight to make sev
eral more ordinary fortunes. The strike or
gold ere which was made 'by Otto Grantz , a
German , a few days ago , has created more
excitement In the Black Hills than any other
discovery ever made In the country. The
find was made lu an old mining district ,
whore nil of the mining ground has been
taken for years , so that there is not the
usual stampede to the camp by would-bo
locators , but the mlno owners have doubled
the prices of their ground and more atten
tion is being given to the formation In which
the Grantz find was made.
In the last ten days Grantz estimates he
has taken from his mine 150,000 In ere which
nil came from within three feet of the sur
face and the deepest hole Is not more than
flvo feet from the grass roots. Some of
the best ere was plowed out with team and
scraper.
