TILLAMOOK HEADLIGHT. DECEMBER 15, 1904.
SHOOT TO KILL.
—---------
Bandits Try to Hold up Spokane
Fiver
&
&
Four masked bandits, heavily armed,
waiting to hold up the Spokane Fiver
on the O, R. & N. line at the Monta-
villa switch on Monday night, were en
countered by Bert Vetter, who was car­
rying a Winchester, and one of the high­
waymen shot to kill. The first bullet
i
entered Yetter’s left side, just above the
heart. To the fact that the revolver re­
fused to work when the trigger was
pulled the second time, Yetter owes his
life.
Stunned and weakened by the bullet
wound, and face to face with death,
young Yetter never flinched, but raised
his Whincheater by herculean efforts,
aimed it directly at the man who had
shot him and who had turned to run,
and fired the one charge remaining in
his weapon. He believes he shot the
desperado, but it was so pitch dark that
he could not see, for by the time Yetter
got the gun into position the criminal
was very nearly a half-block distant.
“Oh. God! I’m shot, Joe!” was the
pained exclamation made by the bandit,
as Yetter opened fire on him, but wheth­
er such was the case is not known to
the officials as vet.
