Y., July 8.—Deputy Sherift Charles Kammerloher was shot and instantly killed by two bootleggers here early today. The bootleggers wounded before they killed the deputy. They were arrested and taken to a hospital. Deputy Sheriffs Kammerloher and Ireland had been watching for boot- leggers several nights. About one o’clock this morning they observed a suspicious looking truck and command- ed the driver to stop. Kammerloher stepped on the running board and was met by a fusilade of bullets. He re- plied with several shots before falling off the truck and wounded both boot- leggers. Ireland dashed up just as Kammerloher fell, and in the face of his revolver the truck was stopped. Three other deputies in the vicinity ‘were soon on the scene and the wound- ed bootleggers were taken to the hos- pital. They said their names were Isidore Comisky and Nathan Denmark. Comisky had four wound, one near the heart, two in the stomach and one in the hip. Denmark had a wound in the arm, one in the thigh and two on the lower part of the leg. The police believe there was a third member of the gang who escaped in a large roadster, who was suspected of having been waiting for some portion of the load of whiskey. Some of Contisky's friends followed him ‘to the hospital and attempted to force their way to the ward where he was being cared for, shouting to him not to tell the authorities anything. They fought with the police but finally three were knocked down and lodged in the police station. - T0 BUY SANITARIUM Dr. J. W. Bush and Dr. A. P.

Court De- Haddam, July 8.—Emil Schutte, the Shailerville storekeeper arrested on a warrant charging first degree murder in causing the death of Den- nis La Duc a farm-hand in his em- ploy, was held for the criminal term of the superior court, September 27, at the conclusion of the adjourned hearing before Justice of Peace L. O. Ryan here today. Justice Ryan said that he had found probable cause for binding Schutte over to the superior court without bonds. No evidence was presented by the defense. The day’s proceedings were limitd to arguments of counsel and the summing up of Justice =~ Ryan. Counsel for Schutte asked the man’s discharge on the ground that no evi- dence had been presented to show that La Duc had been murdered or that he and Schutte had quarreled. The prosecutor maintained that Schutte “had admitted to his son William, that he had burned La Duc's body. In his review of the testimony, Jus- tice Ryan said that the fact that the defense had not attempted to refute the statement that Schutte had told his son William he had burned La Duc’s body furnished probable cause for remanding Schutte to the superior court.
