RESIST ARREST BY POSSE Shoot Down Marshal Who Pursues and Are Caught in Brush by Citizens, Who Take Bloody Revenge. TTTNLOCK. Wash., Dec. 9. Night-Marshal B. E. McFadden was shot and se riously wounded this morning in the at tempted arrest of two young men be lieved to be guilty of two burglaries com mitted here last night. Both the young men were shot and killed by a citizens' posse within an hour of the shooting of McFadden. The men killed had been seen about town yesterday,- and were regarded as suspicious characters. Thev registered at the Kelthly Hotel as Albert and George Savole. They were pointed out to Day Marshal J. P. Castator as they were walking down the track toward the Capi tal Mills, opposite the corner of Shannon and Front streets. Castator crossed over to the track and demanded that they permit him to search the bundle they carried. Fire at Their Pursuers. The marshal then deputized William Reddy and Constable McFadden to hold the men while he searched them. While he was going through the package they carried they started ,to run South toward Olequa Creek. McFadden sprang after them, but Reddy let his man go. When the pursued had nearly reached the bank of the creek one of them turned and fired twice at McFadden. Both shots took effeot, one passing through the chest above the heart and the other entering the left shoulder and lodging In the back. As McFadden sank to the ground' A. N. Cheney, of the Winlock Bank, who with a number of man had rushed to the ' track, opened fire on the fugitives. The man with the gun turned it on Cheney, firing three shots, none of which took effect. Fugitives Take to the Brush. The two Savoles then disappeared In the brush along the bank of the creek. The party on the track at once ran to Schaefer's hardware Btore on the corner, secured guns and went In pursuit. Their numbers were speedily augmented by others who had heard the shooting and ' who procured guns and Joined the chase. Nearly every available firearm In Wln- . lock was borne by hands bent on re venge. Meanwhile McFadden was carried to the Winlock Hospital, where measures were taken to stop the hemorrhage caused by his wounds. The pursuers spread over the hill . back of the creek, and while one party beat down from the crest of the hill , another advanced across the creek. One of the" fugitives was seen in the brush near the creek by George Rhodes, of the Rochdale Company, and L. H. Car ter, of Toledo, Wash. Both men opened fire. Three shots were exchanged be fore the man In the brush fell. Firing then ceased, and the party hurried to the scene. One May Have Committed Suicide. There both the Savoles were found lying side by side. One had been shot through the heart and the other in the stomach. It is thought by some that one of the dead men committed suicide, for a single shot was heard in the vi cinity of the two men after the firing had ceased. At the close of the shooting a large crowd of men and boys collected about the scene of the killing. Upon the ar rival of the marshal the bodies were searched and upon them were found four bunches of skeleton keys, a "Jimmy," a sandbag and other Instruments of the kind used in the profession of house breaking. The two places burglarized last night were the Winlock Bank and the Druber Drug Store, In which Is located the post office. Entrance was evidently gained to the bank by the use of skeleton keys. From the bank were secured only two revolvers. Entrance was gained to the postoftice by cutting a .semi-circular piece of glass from the pane In the front dooT. Through the orifice thus made the burglar was able to reach and manipulate the lock. A burglar alarm connected with a beam in the Druber bedroom, above the postof fice. awoke members of the household. The burglars, evidently alarmed by the noise overhead, closed the door and stepped out Immediately, securing noth ing. Articles Found on the Dead Men. It is thought that the true name of one of the men killed may be Albert Mitchell, as this name Is written on a card found on the young man. Neither of the men is apparently over 25 years of age. They were both of medium height.. One is dark complexioned with dark hair, and the other light with sandy complexion. That they were professional crooks was evi dent from the personal property found upon them, as In addition to the burglar's outfit there was much miscellaneous jew elry, including three watches and a ro sary. They also had with them five elec tric bugs. One of them bore a card upon which was printed Adelard Viens. 59 Fales Station, Central Falls. Rhode Island. There was also a newspaper clip ping telling of an attempted burglary of the Hudson Bay tore at MacLeod, thought to he in trie Alberta countrv. The young men were fairly well dressed. John Kendrlcks, the man who first drew the Marshal's attention to the two men. was found w-eeping bitterly after the shooting. He said he felt himself to blame for the tragedies of the morning. McFADDEX- HAS A CHAXCE ! Wounds Superficial Third Man of Party Not Yet Found. WINLOCK. Wash., Dec. 9. (Special ) Night Marshal, B. E. McFadderf, who was shot by a man resisting arrest here this morning, is reported as resting easily and has excellent chance for reoovry. After an "examination of the wounded man by Dr. J. D. Thompson, of this city, and J. H. Duraont, of Centralla. held at 1 o'clock this afternoon, it was an nounced that the Injuries were merely flesh wounds. One bullet entered about the left nipple and lodged in 'the flesh above the right nipple. The other bullet entered the left shoulder ranging down ward and coming out at the left of the spinal column. Prior to the examina tion it was believed that McFadden'a wounds would prove fatal. Until six months ago McFadden was a resident of Bellingham. Coroner C Harden and Sheriff Dedler, of Chehalls, arrived here this afternoon and an Inquest was held upon the bodies of the two men shot by the citizens' posse, the verdict of the. jury being that the men came to death from gunshot wounds received at the hands of unknown per sons while resisting arrest. The bodies were shipped to Chehalis this afternoon where they will bo interred in the county burying grounds. The posse sent out to capture a. man believed to be a com panion of the men shot returned this eve ning without having located the man. It was first reported that nothing but two runs had been taken from the Win lock Bank but it has developed that in addition to the two guns the burglars secured $15 from the till. The till was taken from the bank and has not yet been found. The money consisted of three $5 gold pieces, which were found upon the body of one of the men killed. This money was returned to A. M. Cheney, head of the bank, by Sheriff Dedler. The two men killed were seen about town at an early hour this morning by a number of persons. They were heard leaving their room at the Kelthley Hotel at a late hotir last night and returning to It at about 5 o'clock this morning. The shooting has thrown the town Into a furor of excitement. All day the streets were thronged with people and the tragedy was the sole topic. Had Previous Bad Record. CHEHALIS, Wash., Dee. 9. (Special.)

The man was known there as Scotty. MAY MEET IX OLD YAMHIXX McMinnville Invites Interstate Y. M. C. A. Convention. ALBANY. Or.. Dec. 9. (Special.)

RAILROAD OFFERS EXCUSES Northern Pacific .. Explains Why Poor Service Was Furnished. OLYMPIA. Wash., Dec. 9. (Special.) The Northern Pacific has filed answers in the local Superior Court to two of the ac tions recently brought against that road by the State Railroad Commission. One suit was to punish the road under a njiw law for hauling a tralnload of defective cars from Seattle to Tacoma July 4, 1907. The effect of this action, if the Commis sion Is successful, will be that the road will practically have to establish carshops at Seattle and at all division terminals. The road In Its answer says such a plan Is not practical. It admits the 29 cars were so hauled to the South Tacoma shops, but asserts that the trainmen were thoroughly advised of the condition of the equipment, did not object to handling the same, and that no accident took place. The other case is to collect a demurrage because but one of five cars ordered were furnished Somervllle Bros., of Napavlne. for shipments to Walla Walla. The road says that unexpected Increases ln frafflc brought a greater demand for cars than the road's trackage could handle; that all that can be done is being done in con structing the North Bank road to relieve conditions; that to have given five cars to the complainants would have been to discriminate unfairly against bthtj- ship pers, and then, the road asserts the state demurrage law Is unconstitutional on sev eral grounds.

Bowman, of Portland, who has been in the city visiting his father-in-law, Anson Rogers, and who is Interested In the erection of the Rogers business bloolt in this city, in speaking of the accident said: "I never expected to come out of the accident alive. I am sure that I was car ried out 100 feet from shore, and I was washed in three times before I could get on my feet. The only thing that saved us was the log striking the stage, and for a few seconds retarding the outward force of the receding wave: otherwise we would have been carried out so far that we could never have reached shore. Stage Carried to Sea. "All that paved the women was' that they were held under a part of the stage long enough to enable us to rescue them. Mrs. Noble had a very narrow escape. A few moments after we had her in safety the last of the stage disappeared. "1 would take' my chances any time in a shipwreck rather than in this stage accident, as there was no chance for es cape. I have made the round trip 40 times in the last 14 years, and it is the first ac cident, and I am going out for Portland tomorrow over the same line in another stage."

HUMAN STOMACH HAS Animals Are Healthier Because of Strong i - Digestive Apparatus An Interesting interview was re cently obtained with L. T. Cooper, the young man whose theory and medi cines have created such a sensation during the past year. Mr. Cooper, tn speaking of the re markable success of his medicine, had this to say on the subject: "My medi cine regulates the stomach. That is why It Is successful. The human stom ach today has become degenerate, and Is the cause for most ill health. In the horse, the dog, and the wild ani mals generally, you see no nerve ex haustion, no chronic debility. They are not shut up day after day with practically no exercise, and they are not able to stuff themselves with food when their bodies have not had enough work to Justify it. The human race has been doing this for years, and look at the result half the people are com plaining of poor health, not real ill ness Just a half-sick, tired, droopy feeling. They don't really know what is the matter with them. "I know that all the trouble is caused by weak, overworked stomachs. I have proved this with my medicine to many thousands of people In most of the leading cities of this country. I ex pect to do the same thing in Europe next year. This Is the real reason for the demand for my preparation." Among those who have recently been converted to Cooper's theory Is Mr. Monroe Brown, of 8 Hancock Street, Winchester, Mass.
