Special to The Journal. Bedfield, S. D., Dec. 19.After hold ing up a country school teacher, robbing a village storekeeper and then engaging in a running fight with a posse in which he was twice wounded and during which he inflicted a wound upon one of his pursuers, a man who says his name is Ed Snyder and declares that his home is in Michigan, is a prisoner in the county jail Bedfield. A young woman school teacher, who, when on her way to school near Mans field, was compelled to give him her watch and jewelry, was the highway man's first victim. The robber then walked into the village of Mansfield, where he entered a store, ordered the proprietor to hold up his hands, and at tne point of a revolver secured a small sum of money. The man then left Mansfield and the authorities here were notified to look out for him. He was next reported at Athol, and there a posse began to close in on him. The townspeople of Athol and the highwayman engaged in a desperate running fight. Snyder was defiant to the last, and during the exchange of shots, he winged the town marshal of Athol, sending a bullet thru his right arm. Snyder was shot in the right hand, but he shifted his revolver to his left hand and continued the struggle until a bullet plowed thru his cheek. Then he surrendered and was brought to the Redfield jail. OPERATOR SEIZED BY ARMED MINERS Denver Men Assaulted at Butte for Connection with Na tional Guard. Special to The Journal.

FLAMES IN PRISON SGHOOL FOR ROYS Washington Dec. 19.The boys' re form school of the District of Columbia, distance outside of Washington, caught fire at 3 o'clock this morning and the main building, in which were housed 300 boys, was destroyed. The loss is $50,000. No lives were lost. As soon as the alarm was sounded the uards immediately set about rescuing boys, at the same time summoning to their aid the police reserves in the ninth precinct. I is not believed that any of the prisoners got away from the institution. I fact, most of them ren dered valuable aid to the members of the fire department hi' the effort to save the surrounding structures, and it is said were under good control of their guards from the start. The cause of the fire is not definitelv known, but it is believed to have re sulted from spontaneous combustion among goods stored on the fourth floor of the building. Many supplies also were destroyed. PLYMOUTH CHDRGH OF GOTHAM IN STRAITS Journal Special Service. Brooklyn, N Y., Dec. 39.Historic Plymouth church has come to such financial straits that a meeting was held last night to devise ways and means to increase the revenues, which have so dwindled as to show a deficit in the last year against surplus' thirtv years ago, when Henry Ward Beecher was paid a salary of $300,000. The meeting was in no sense a reflection on the ministration of Dr. Dwight Hillis, but rather an indorsement of his untir ing efforts in the face of extraordinary adversej circumstances. The old Brooklvn Heights families, who were the mainstays of Plymouth, have disappeared thru death or re moval. The deficit in the Plymouth exche quer from 1900 to 1905 was $8,000. For the present year it has been $1,000. The plan of relief will be definitely consid ered next week. MONEY ARRIYES FOR PAUPER AFTER DEATH Duluth, Dec. 19.B.
