Special Dispatch to The Chicago Trioune. 87. Louis, Mo, Nov, 18.—Abouyt ¥ o'clock this morning veople doing business in the vicin. Ity of Vine street were aroused by the rapld discharge of flrearms inquick successlon tn the puwnshop of Edward Wright, at No. 814, This betne in the bicart of the business portion of the clty, & vast and excited crowd soon collected in the neighborhood, aud then it was learned that a startling tragedy had just been enscted within thie pawnshop, duriog which two men had re- celved thelr death wounds, one a brave poltee- man aud the other a noted desperado and out- law of Illluols, Both men were lylng ou the floor WELTEIING IN A POOL OF NLOOD, the policeman shot through the femoral artery and bleeding rapidly to death, and the outlaw, Frauk Rande, none less than the 8t. Elmo murderer and bandit of the Wabash, blecding profuscly from woundsin the breast aud legs and’ blows recelved on the head. Tho scene was ono of great confusion, and it was some time before the exclted populacs conld geta currect {dea of tho thrilllug encounter and the causcs thatled toit. The followlu? tacts were subscquently made known, Lowcver, furnish- ing one of the most thrilling and remarkable chapters fu the history of crime and desperado- {smn fnthe West. Last August Frank Rande, who was then o wandering outlaw, passed through 8t. Louls and CALLED IN AT THE PAWNSHOP of Edwanl Wright, where lepawned a vallse supposed to cootain clothing, stating that he wonld call for it In o week or two, He did not cull, but telegraphied on from 8t. Elmo, 11, to send the valise by express, which was done, the Company paying the amount of the loan out of money furnlshed them by Ravde, Shortly after tho sttempt to cap- ture the St. Elmo murderer the discovery of Wright's pawn-check was made. Rande bad dropped {2 at the time of the attempted arrest. ‘This led to the fact that the valise was pawned here in 8t. Louls, and tho Shertff ot the county In which 8t. Elmo 1s located telegraphed to Chief McDonough to hold the valise, The Chief gave notlee to Mr. Wright, and WRIGHT TELEGRAPUED RANDR that the vallse had been sent secording to order, vot wishing him to kuow that the fact of its belug there had been discovered by the officers. Mr. Wricht was {nstructed by the Culef-of-Police to Lkeep a sharp lookout for Raude, as he was expected in 8t. Louis scon. 8ure enough, this morning Raunde, accompanied by another party named Jumes Morrison, called st the pawnshop aud told Mr. Wright that UE NEVER RECEIVED TUR VALISE, and had ealled to sce i it was still here. Mr, Wright, in order to ain thme, told bim he would send 10 the express office and sea why the valiso had not been forwarded. At the samo timo Wright “tipped the wink" to his clerk, Georgo Hess, who started out and soon returned with two officers, White and Heffernan, Upon the arrival of the oflicers, White rushed upon Rande, caught him by the collar, aud endeavored to hold him. Then the struggle began, and Rande, with his right hand, which was discngaged, REACUND BEUIND HIN, and, drawing a navy revolver, shot at White, the ball taking effect in his right Jeg, cutting the feworal artery. Whito soou fell from loss of bluod, At this Juncturo the clerk, Mr, Hess, and Mr. Wright, who had been warned ot the desperate character of tho man they had to deal with, armed themselves, and lless, who was behlud the counter watching bls opportunl- ty, Bred and shut Rande fu tho leg. Tn the meantine Wright, who was outside the coun- ter, kept his pistol leveled at the head of -Mor- rison, and told bimn that, if he moved, e was a dead wan, This kept Morrison still. Fioaly, a8 the tight waxed warmer, Wright took & shot at Haude, but s not certalo whether the ball took effect or not. Then Hess took another shot at Raude, tho ball entering bis body and BHINGING UIM DOWN, In the meantime Officer Heflernan struck Raude several blows, and be was scon bors de combat, While he lay iu & pool of blood upon the floor, be looked up at OMicer Meffernan and sald: “A half-minute more would bavecooked your goose!" Physiclans werv then sent for, sud Dr. Hill, who arrived Grat, endeavored to staunch the wound of Ofticer White, who was HAPIDLY BLEEDING TO DEATIL , An ambulance was . procured, the wounded oflicer sent to bis home, and the woundeq des- perado t0 the Dispeusary snd tuence to the City Hospital, where e is now reported tn a dylog condition. Otticer Heffernan's statement 1s ia substance as follows: **I met Oftlcer White on the corner of Fourth street and Washington avenue, sbout. 9 o'clock this morning. He ssked mo to gowith bim to Wright's pswaoshop, saying that there were two mea (n thero whom Wright wanted srrested, He also sald the men were desperate charagters for whom the dstectives bad been looking during ten dsys. We walked around to the ©place, aud, as we entered, Wright nodded with his bead, fotlmatiog tous whom we should take fu charge, Officer White placed his band ou the shoulder of ono of the men, saylug: *f waot you, my friend!® I Was aboust 80 do the samo thing with the other fellow. White had no souner uttered the worils than his urisoner whipped out 8 navy revolver and cocked . | grabbed the weapon with both hamds, but In splte of all Tcould do the man pulled the trigger. White stagirered and said ha was shot in the leg. 1held on to the pistol, and the man man- aged to cock [t again. HE WAS A POWERPUL ONE. 1 TELL YOU. Tlacing my thumb oo the hammer of the pistol, 1 held to it Hke grim death, but, finding that White was losing strength rapuliy, and that matters were in & desperate condition, I yelled to Wright, who, all this time, had the other man covered with a revolver, ‘8hoot this feflow, Wright, he will kill White.' Wright turned towards my man and fired, At that instant my mar crieg, ‘I'm shot here,! poluting to his hreast, bitt fmmediately tackled me acain. ‘White by this time had fallen to the floor, weak- ened by the loss of blood, and was calling to me. to prevent my auntagonist from acsin fring. The scutlle continued untl) 1 managed to get my pistol out, when 1 fired, striking the man in the leg. AE REPT CURSING AND SWEARING that he could get away with half-a-dozendamned officers. He also intimated that he would glve it out now that:we had him dead to richts, thuugh we were the first that had ever had him that way. He looked at Waite Iying on the four, and raid he boped he biad killed the —— —. Meantime Wright was guarding the other fellow, aud, as [ turned my facethat wav for a secand to see that there was nu danger from that quarter, my man slipped another navy from Lis pocket, got the muzzle of It tony side, and, u another sccond, wauld have fired, but 1 KNOCKED THE WEAPON FROM 1S 11AND, at the same time striking him over the head with the one in mny haud. He looked at me fercely nnd sald: *Yes, you — —— —— D——n you! I was poingtoput a hole through you.' At this juncture, Officers Lyman, Burke, Price, Serggeant Dalty, and sev- cral others came fn, and we took the men down. . ON SEARCHING THE WOUNDED MAN, we found a pair of brass knuckles, a larze open knife, a bunch of ahout tweuty Keys, and sume other ‘artfcles. The other man' bad nothing to amount to aoything. He was Jock- el up, while Mhis wounded com- punjon was taken In an ambulance to the dispensary, At the dispensary the prisoner gava bis nameas Frank Rande, his aveat 25 years, and sald he came here from the East, ar- riving last night. When asked where he lived, he requested lis listeners to go to hell. He said he was game, and had gotten in his work before they could put the rope around his neck, and that was satisfaction enough for him." Dr, Lacdking made an examination of TIE MAN'S CONDITION, and found s bullet-hole in the left breast sbout one fnch outsilc the nipple: also a bullet in the left leg just above the -knec; also s scalp-wouund, the latter very slight. It was not dcemed ad- visable to probe the wouud {n the breast, and the paticnt was hurried away to the City Hos- pltal, spitting blood aud slnking rapldly. J. W. Kimsey, THR CHIEF-OP-POLICE OF 'EORIA, 1LL., is n 8t. Louls to-night, having arrived during the day In hot pursuit of the outlaw. In cou- versation to-night he gave the following in- formation about Rande, und thes causes bearing to his capture: I bave been outhe trml of this man Rande since the first part of last August, On the 8d of last August thls mau Rande camo to the Town of Elmwood, sbout cizhteen miles southeast of Peoria, and went into the gnnshop, where he, under the pretext of wantiug to get a ramrod, took a survey of ike shop, which was burglarized that night. Rande was suse pected, but must have disappesred on the same night. Ho turned up agaln Aug, 5, in THE LITTLE TOWN 0¥ GILSON, seventy-Qve miles from Peorla, o an adjolnlng rounty., On that dav, while Charles Bel- den and his wife were at church some one cotered thelr residence and purloined varfous domestic articles. On re- turning from church and seelng that a thief had entered his dwelling, Belden Jooked about the house for footprints of the culprit, which he discovered {eading Into s coratleld near by, Summoning a half-dozen ueighbors the self- authorized posso procecded to track the thief, and came upon him near the centre of the fleld. At flrst the thief, who proved to be none less than Rande, took to his heels. By this time the story that A THIEF WAS IN TI[E CORNPIELD spread through the town, and reluforcements to tho number of 100 had joined m the exeiting scarch, scattering in every direction through the ficld. Rande soon gave up the leg business to resort to an attempt to intimidating his pur- suers by puiling out a louz navy revolver and firiug 1t indiscriminately at the crowd In pursuit. This was returned, but with no serious effect to Ragde. On the other band, Belden was shot through the head, KILLING IIIM INSTANTLY, and suother man shot in the foot. Belden's death was so horrifying to the pursuers that they pave up tho chase for the timse to gather around their fallen companion, while Rande took advantage of the excitetnent to vscaps from the corn-flell intoa neighboring woods. 1u the corn-fleld skirmish Tande had dropped his coat and vest. These were plcked up, and Lidden in tne lining of one of the vest-pockets was found a yecelpt which' has doubtiess PROVED RANDE'S DEATH-WARRANT, asit was by this paper ho was subsequently given away. This recelpt was from tho express agent st Eltiwood, 11, Rande evidently thought hls recelpt Jost. Mr, Hitcheock, the Bherlft of Teoria County, took tlls recelpt, which was for moncy left at the express oftico to be forwarded to Wright, the pawnbroker, to pay for a valise and contents on which he had recelved mouney. To Wright Itande wrots TU® FOLLOWING LETTER: ANERICAN Kxpuzws Coxraxy, Eruwoon, IiL., No 1. ~7v Nr.

With theso arrangements Hitcheock left the matter $o work out its own salvation. ‘Three weeks awo Frank Rande wrote the followiug ou a postal-card to the sgent at Decatur, COPY OF TIIN POSTAL-CARD: Erpress Agent, Decatur, 11.: Will you please Inform ma by postal card what the charges are on iy browa lealber valise, sent from 5t.

This was the first intimatiou of Raode's whereabouts. Hitcbeock then wount to Kokowo with Rimsey, the Superintendent of Pollow at Peorla. After wulting ten days for an apswer to the postal card, Hitchcock sud Kim- sey returued to Decstur and left In- structlous agaln with the sgent, who was to arreet b, or telegruph to either of thew wt Peorla. Ou the 7th of Nuvewber Raonde called st the oflice. Tho ageat told Hande that he bad 5 >4 T & 3 5 PRICE F'3E/CENTS. . 2, i not scen the valise, hut at once reached for the telegraph and sent word to Kimsey that his man was In town. Rande smelt a_mouse amnd got out of town immediately. Last Friday Kimsey came himeelf to 8t. Louls and laid the matter before Chief McDonough, who - in- structed OfMicer O'Neal to assist Kimsey in the case. Wright was posted, and instructed to tlip out on some pretense and call in two nolicemen, which he followed with the tragic results above related. TNE MOIT FAMOUS AND EXTRAORDINANY “TRAOEDY In which Rande has ficured was that wlich oc- rurred near the little town of St. Eino, IiL, Sept. 11, 1577, in wihich the outiaw, having mur- dered John R, Scoles, and being pursued by a pouc of 100citizens, killed ¥Frank Harnes and rank Wireman, wounded Georee Sidenar, shot tlree horscs, aud escaped. At that time the hero of these exploits was thought to be Frank Nichols, but the proof is now positive thatit was Frank Rande. T AT. ELMO, The little Village of St. Eimo, Il situated on the Vandalla Road seventcen miles from Effingham, was, on the murning of EEEL 11, 1277, thrown into fntenke excitement by the perpetration of the murders herewith detailed: About 8 o'clock that mourning Mr. John Scoles, 8 Inost estiinable citizen of the villaze. with his family, returned to their residence, situated in the midat of & thickly-bullt part of the place, frum a visit East, where they had been absent fur several days. On entering the house, he immedtately discovered that it had been robbed of numerous articles of value, sud from several indjcutions was convinced that the burelar bad but just left the place, tas he had left a freshly-prepared breakfast on the table, This ~ fact induced Mr. = Scoles to comnmence [nstant search for the thicf, Jle searched carefully through the house, ont- houses. and out In the rear yard, roing toward bis stable, As he did xo, he perceived A MAN RUNN HAPIBLY through the field to the rear, Jooking back, and showing unmistakable evidence of helng the party wanted trylng to escape. Mr. Scoles mounted a horse ‘standing near, and started in pursuit, watched by his excited family. When within about thirty yards of the man, 8coles onfered him tohalt, The villain did 8o, but with consummate coolnese and murderous daring he drew a revolver und fired, shooting Mr, Scoles three times, each shot giviue s futal wound, one taking effect in the head and two {n the body. Mr, Scoles fell from the horse and EXPHLED IN AROUT THREE MINUTRS Hving until bis family and twu or three obsers- ers reacned him, to whom he spoke a few wonls, The news spread with electric raphlity throughout the village, and In about twenty- five minutes upwards of 100 men, artned with nnstily-seized rifles, revolvers, und shot-guns were In tlose pursult. Owing to the country belng very level there, the rapidly escaping flend was still in fair view to the pursuers, * He was fleelng like a deer, urged on by his great desperation, but the numerous pursiters, many belng mounted, awiftly overtook him. A soon as he arrived within hailing distance, Mr. Frank Barnes, who was in advance of the citizens, called to him, * Hait, oryou areadead man.” At this the desperate tlend turned aud ding o revolver in each hand, coolly commencrd fring at & distance of about forty tect. The tirst shot fired from his right-hand revolver hit Mr. Barues, a very worthy youny gentlemau, {u the head, KILLING 1113 INSTANTLY, the body falliug with a thud to the eround. The reeond etiol, given from lis left hand, hit Mr. Frank Wiseman, another excellent cltizen, in the head, nlzo with dendly etfect, he falling from s Liorse and explring in‘a lew inoments, Still coolly faciug the advancing cittaens, he almed with “his nznt-band revolver, and dred, Killing & norse from under a pursuing farmer. Then, giving a terribly dewonlacal yell, he rusbed towanl the entire purty of about 8 dozen borsemen. This bold and utterly _ unlooked-for actlon by the demon disconcerted the party, and caused them to turn and flee in all directions. Still intent with devilish deeds, he agaln afined and bit o hurse,wounding it so that it fetl uoable to move :unlu:r, and the rider was obliged to vscape on uot. I8 EACAPE, The demon then turned and easlly jogeed to some timber and thick undergrowill, at some dletance.

During the excitement the roliber cscaped, but his personn! appearfnce was well noted, 1t being observed that hu wasa stoutly-built mon, dark-halred, apparentiy about U years of ace, ana with A BUNKEN OR BROKEN NOSE. ‘This latter feature wus particularly noted, The robber used & navy six-shoote 7 in the execution of his murderous ‘work, ‘The sauguinary event created the greatest excitement, and steps wers at onee taken by the Shenf of Knux County, in which the crime had been perpetrated, to track the murderer and effect his capture. In the corntield whers the tragedy oveurred there was picked up n voat and vest, and in the Hinlog of the lutter was founa a recetpt slgued by tho Adams Express Agent at Elmwood, in Veoria County, tor $1.50, to be eent to Edwand Wright, pnwnlnraker, in 8t.

TItR KECELFT PURNISIED A GOOD CLEW to the identity of the murderer, as It was vertaln the vest was dropped by him, aud altogether probabie that * the “paper bore his name. As no trace of the criminal could be found, it was decided that the most feasible w{) of capturing him ‘was to lay a trup for him by moans of the valise { the express receipt. Thi receipt wus turued er tu Sherlll Ritcheoek, of Peorfu County, whose effurts and failure to cotrap Hande are related elsewhere by J, W, Kimsey, Chlef-of- Police of Peoria.
