George Lapsley, 25, received six buckshot, three in his arm and three in his leg, from a sawed-off shotgun, fired almost po sep by one of the offi- le was rushed to the city hospital. He will recover. was uninjured during the firing. The arrest of the two thugs nipped th the bud what the police declare was to have been a wholesale chain of robberies on the Kirkland side. The shooting of Latsley and the capture of Christianson was due to their own loquacity. According to Detectives Ernest Yoris, Ralph Coch- ran and Ludwig Frank, who round- ed up the would-be burglats Mon- day morning, Letsley and Christian- son are said to have confided their plans to rob the ferryboat Lincoln safe to two women companions. The news was relayed to Chief of |Police Warren who, early Monday morning, drove the detectives to Kirkland. The detectives boarded the ferry- boat at 3 o'clock Monday morning. Yoris and Cochran stationed them- selves in the pilot house while Frank stayed on deck to await the approach of the burglars. Submit to Gag At 5:45 o'clock a rowboat, carrying two men, approached the ferryboat. After a short wait two forms clam- bered aboard and made their way to the engine room, where the engineer, by prearranged plans, submitted to Attorney General Palmer, | granted this government was\misin- | being bound and gagged by Letsley and Christianson. Seizing an ax in the engine room, Letsley and Christianson made their way to the purser's office, smashed open the door with the ax and car- ried the safe to the main deck. Unable to open the safe, Letsley and Christianson returned to the en- gine room to obtain a crowbar. They were busily engaged in an attempt to open the safe with the crowbar when the detectives closed in on them. “Throw up your hands!’ shouted the detectives. Letsley and Christianson dropped the crowbar and fled Yoris, armed with at Letsley and the shotgun, fired latter dropped Darling Ethel: — Mexican refusal or dodging of the | with three buckshot in his left arm far as it affects the municipal rail-| etter, Here there are lots of funny | ying.

They moved so nervously up and down the deck that Yoris and Cochran, sta- tioned in the pilot house, were un- lable to distinguish Detective Frank from the two wouldbo burglars, It was this confusion that led the de- tectives to wait for more than half an hour before closing in on Letsley and Christianson.
