(Special to The Evening Werld.) PASSAIC, N. J., Sept. 21.—In a fleree fight with plstole between four horse thieves and five policemen at Passale to-day one thief Is supposed to have been shot and drowned, while two others, both New York crooks, were cap- tured and lodged In jail.

They were almost ready to give up at midnight last night, About 1 o'clock four men approached the stables and broke open a door, The officers waited a few minutes and then made a charge. ‘The thieves opened fire. The officers returned the fire. In the darkness it was bard to distinguish the police from the thieves. Two’ of the strangers used up their bullets and surrendered. Another, sald to be named Cohen, fired four Umes and then dashed toward the Pas- seic River. Officer Green gave and fired five times.-- The thlef gave a cry ef pain and jumped into the water. and no trace of his vody canbe found. The river Ia twenty feet deep at that place and auite wide. It 1s possible that he was drowned. The other man also escaped. The two thieves gave their names ax Frank Shafer, of the Bowery, New York. and John Gilbert. of Ward street, Brooklyn. They were held for trial. PASSENGERS IN FERRY EXPLOSION BOAT BLOWN UP—SEVERAL BADLY BURNED. and Some Missing May Have Been Drowned. PARKERSBURG, W.
