a fight with four robbers , who terror

and rigs , entered several houses and
shot recklessly in a wild charge down
the main street of the town.
J. E Baird was awakened by bur
glars in his house. He got up and saw
two masked men standing on either
V side of his bed. Revolvers were point-
at his head , but in spite of this he
jumped from bed and fought with the
Intruders In the darkness they broke
away and fled from the house.
The burglars then entered the home
of Town Marshal Krohn , who opened
fire on. them. When he had shot three
times one of the robbers , who had
jumped into a buggy , got out and be
gan shooting at the marshal. At the
third shot the latter fell with a bullet
through his hip.
Baird , who had meantime arrived
picked up the officer's gun and contin
ued the tiring The robbers drove
away rapidly.
Baird followed them to the home o
Superintendent W. J. Hiller of the
Cleveland , Elyria & Western railway

robbers they walked into the Hillier
"home , after smashing in the door
The noise on the street aroused Hillier
and he reached for his gun , loaded
with quail shot.
A burglar opened the door and Hill
ier blew his head off with the first dis
charge. The other robber turned and
ran , but Hillier discharged the second
barrel. The robber yeJed and stag
gered , but did not fall. He ran into
the street and disappeared.
A posse was at once formed and is
pursuing the robbers. Marshal Xrohm
is perhaps fatally wounded. It is not

A CHAPTER OF ACCIDENTS.
Itallroad Em 'oyr Hnve a Kuii of Hard
Luck.
Grand Island , Neb. , Nov. 15. A
remarkable wave of accidents swept
over tne railroad yards of tais city
and vicinity Friday and la > j night.
Yesterday morning at Wood River ,
while Archie Campbell , a brakeman
on freight No. 27 , was making a
coupling , a wheel of the car ran on
his foot , the car stopping while be
was thus pinned down. The foot
was badly crushed , though it is pos
sible that tLe member can be saved.
Campbell in falling struck his head
on the ties and was unconcious un
til last night. He is reported as be
ing in a much improved condition
this morning.
At about- o'clock last evening ,
while the engine of another east
bound freight was taking water at
the same place , Fireman Basko
mounted the front of the engine to
light the headlight. In some man
ner he slipped and fell , striking his
bead on the ties and receiving a
slight concussion of the brain. As
was the case with Mr. Campbell , he
was immediately brought to the St.
Francis hospital in this city. He
has recovered consciousness and no
serious results are feared.
At 3 o'clock this morning an en
gine of the 1800 class , just as it was
pulliug Ihe passen er train from tne
east into the local yards , ran off a
split switch , kept the ties for about
a distance of twenty-tive yards and
ploughed into the soil and is half
buried. Engineer Fonda and Fire
man Bailey had time to jump and es
caped unhurt.
No one was injured. The engine ,
is pretty badly wrecked. The tender
was wrenched from the trucks. While
the fly wheels of one side of the en
gine are buried those of the other
side are up in the air.
In the shop yards , at 5 o'clock this
morning , an old man named Boyer
was picking up coal. He was struck
by an engine. An employe of the
road happened to see it and gave the
alarm to the engineer. The engine
had gone over the man. The locAj
tive w. < s moving slowly at the time
and when it stopped the engineer
and fireman began to look under it
for the presumably dead man. He
fooled them and crawled out at the
other side , between the engine and
the tender , badly scratched and
bleeding , but otherwise uninjured.
The engine ran over him for its en
tire length.
J. W. Morris , a member of the
Union Pacitic yard gang , while letting
off a brake on No. 8 last night , had
his hand caught by a chain and three
holes were crushed into the member.

ing this saving , the bureau has in

ER CHARGE TO FACE
WATKEIS IN DEEP WATER
Implements of Cracksmen Found When
They Were Loitering How Charge Made
Against Hubert Watke.
Beatrice , JSreb. , Nov. 14. Sheriff
Waddington , assisted by John Schiek
of this city has lodged in jail two
comparatively young men , who are
believea to be the ones who attempt
ed to rob the Clatonia bank Monday
night.
Early Thursday morning two men
were seen to aliyht at Ulatonia from
a freight train from the west. The
attempt on the bank's treasure still
was vivid in the minds of the towns
people , and the presence of any
stranger was instantly noticeable so
from the moment the men stepped
from the train their movement was
scrutinized. After loitering about'
the depot a few moments the men
walked down the track and to the
point where the robbers had aband
oned the horse and buggy Tuesday
morning. They then proceeded to a
point near where the gang had cross
ed the creek. For more than an hour
they were watched by Henry Alberts
and others who finally concluded
that the pair must know something
about the robbery and a posse ad
vanced on them and took them in
custody.
Meanwhile a search was made of
the surrounding premises where the
following articles were found. Two
long 44-Colts revolvers one-half pint
of nitro-glycreine two tiles six skele
ton keys a quantity of fuse and caps.
The men were taken up town and
while no violence was offered them
about every man woman and child
in the town and surrounding country
stood guard over them armed with
some kind cf a weapon.
The suspects pleaded innosence
and said they were in Horton Kan
sas Monday night. Telegrams were
sent people there whom they claimed
to know but the responses were not
at all satisfactory. When the sher
iff reached Clatonia about 3 o 'clock
this afcerncon the men were in the
rear of a saloon which was guarded
by fully one hundred armed residents.
The men had money and spent it
freely. They talked about Banker
Chamberlain and using him fora com
parison spoke disparagingly of all
bankers and displayed an acquain
tance with names of prominent peo
ple and knowledge of public affairs
which shows they are not strangers
to Nebraska. The Clatonia people
and the sheriff believes they have
got the right men. They are about j
thirty years old each. When searched
here a long thin file was found on one
of them. They refused to give any
names.
