Masked Outlaws Hold Up a Freight Train and Commit a Series of Desperate Crimes Chicago, Aug. 25.—When a north- bound freight on the Chicago, Mil waukee & St. Paul road stopped at 10:20 last night at Deerfield, a sub- urban village just over the Lake county line, two masked men mount ed the steps of the caboose. The brakemau were well toward the en- gine, which was in charge of Eu gineer Pritchard, and only Coaduc- tor Sargent and Road Detective Pat- Owens were in the caboose. | The masked men covered the con | ductor and detective with revolvers. | The detective sprang for his rifle, | but before he could reach it one of the robbers shot him through the breast. The conductor then threw | up his hands and the robber who | had done the shooting went through | his pockets, taking his watch and a small amount of money. Afterward he searched the detective’s clothes for valuables and left the train just before the brakemen, who had heard the shot, came running back. The bandits cut across country to | the Mayfair depot on Holcomb ave nue and there boarded train. There special Officer Patrick McGrath of the Chicago & North- western road attempted to arrest them, but was shot three times. One bullet struck him the left arm, another entered his body and the third struck him near his heart, a freight in but was diverted by a penbolder in his pocket. PURSUED BY A GREAT CROWD. The then hastened out Holeumb avenue to Lawrence ave nue. On the way they met a farmer in a wagon on the way to the city. It was but a moment's work to throw him out and take possession of his | vehicle. With Lorses to draw them the thieves male better and they were soon on their way through Lawrence avenue to Milwaukee ave- bandits tume nue. By this time that part of the! country was ina turmoil. Boysaud men on ponies and horses hastily saddled were in the chase after the desperadoes. Out Milwaukee aye- nue galloped the robbers in the wagon, while behind them clattered the horses of the pursuers. Behind these again came a patrol wagou at full speed in which were four police- men. | The pursued men kept on out’ Maynard ioad for three miles, when the horses gave out and they took to | Orchard Place woods on the Des j Plaines river, south of the Higgins road, and ran under a bridge, where they drove back their pursuers with | shots.

He assured him tbat the governor was willing to let the question of state rights rest where it is and bury the auimosities of the past. General Shelby was as- sured that a democratic ticket with his name at the bead for governor would sweep the state at the next election. He was reminded that in these days of trial it is well for all democrats to dwe!l peacefully with one another. The party fell to slate making and did not forget to mention Col. Pace as a suitable man for state auditor. General Shelby, the story goes, studied for a miuute, concluded that |there was a scheme behind it and then broke out, prefacing his remark with a big round cath. “Tam not Governor Stoue’s friend and I don’t lend my name or help to advance anything that Cockrell Then he left the room.

Three miles from where the farm- er who was named Eggersten was held up, his team and wagon were found by the city officers. The wag on had broken down and been aban doned by the desperadoes. Both of the horses were completely exbaust- ed. ‘The officers traced the fugitives to acorn field, through, which they ran anda score of policemen took up the trail. The desperadoes were finally cap- tured in the woods in Elk grove township about noon by five Chicago policemen. They gave their names as Will Lake and W. F. Gordon.

NESTLERODE. | | has this to say of two of the demo- ‘eratic candidates: “The writer, while a “kid,” lived for a number of years in the east part of the county, and was acquainted witb, or knew of, several of the can- didates who hail from that part of the county. Our recollection Stewart Atcheson, democratic nomi nee for circuit clerk, who at that time was just entering on manhood, is most favorable. A cripple, by acci- dent while wrestling with a brother. he was not able to engage iu the heavy work of the farm, but was very studious, and also exceptionally handy with tools of all kinds. He afterwards learned the harness mak- ers trade, and engaged in business at Appletou City. Toat was about fifteen years ago. We hear that since that time he has been engaged in farming, and has held nur us local offices, and has filled them to the entire satisfaction of the people of his township. We are persuaded that if elected, Mr. Atcheson will make a thoroughly trustworthy and efficient county official. John Choat who is our present representative and the democratic nominee for the next term, is, we believe, a native of the east part of this county. His father was an old settler and farmed in Spruce town- ship. Jobn attended the Butler Academy at the same time as we did, took part in our Literary Society, was ounce billed to debate with tie writer at an exhioition, but for some reason failed to do so. He was not at all brilliant in his recitations but was a close student, and is probably qualified to fill the position he holds. He is now druggist and practicing physician at Johnstown.
