CRAWKORDHVILLE, Ind., April 8.—The
Jackson brothers, William, Joe and
Jake, who haT« gloated over tho thrill
ing adventures of and would become
famous after a manner similar to the
James boys or the Dalton- gang, rode
into New Rose and announced that they
would take possession. Armed to the
teeth they paraded the streets, shooting
at anybody and everything. The ter
rorized villagers fled in dismay and ter
ror reigned until Marshal McGriffin and
several deputies made an attack, but
they were routed. During the battle
Joe Wright, a prominent merchant, was
terriUy beaten and injured. The officers,
reinforced by a mob of forty excited
citizens, made another charge eoon, and
supplied them wives with ropes to
hang the Jackson trio, hut the
latter regained their horse#, and
after an exciting chase of two
miles, escajed in the darkness. A
running fire was kept up during the
flight, but the villagers escaped with a
few wounds while the Jacksons were
unharmed. Fearful of mob vengeance
should Wright's wounds prove fatal,
the hiding desperadoes have fled the
country.
RORRRRS CAPTURED.
Cine Killed and Two Surrender to
Wanhinffton Pottse.
||TACOXA, April a,—While John Peter
son. proprietor of a large general store
at Palmer station, 44 miles from thi*
city, was preparing to close the store
three masked men entered and with
drawn revolvers demanded *h.e contents
of the safe. Peterson regarded the af
fair as a joke perpetrated by some ineu
from the hotel adjoining, and refused to
comply with the request. The leader of
the gang then placed a cocked revolver
to Peterson'1* head, whereupon the store
keeper callei loudly for help. The rob
bers pounee on him aud clubbed him
into insensibility. By this time Samuel
Ritchie, proprietor of the hotel, rushed
to Peterson's assistance. The robbers
then fled toward Green river.
Captured Two and Killed One.
A posse was organized and after a
hard chase came upon the robbers sev
eral miles from town. They captured
two of the robbers after a desperate
struggle, in which the prisoners endeav
ored to use their revolvers. The third
member of the gang refused to surren
der and continued his flight. Being un
able to overtake him, and as he had
refused to obey several commands to
surrender, one of the posse shot at him.
The ball struck him in the head and he
fell forward on his face. When picked
up he was dead. The men are supposed
to be members of an organized gang
which robbed the Roslyn bank last fall,
and later held up a Northern Pacific
Pm«opger train near Hot Springs.

each. None were able to furnish
the required amount, so they will have
to languish iu jail until the next term
of court. Their names are Robert and
Oscar English and Lestie Watson. All
are ranchmen near Kibbey, and it is
claimed they have been carrying on
operations in that vicinity for some
time. They had became very bold of
late. They would go out on the range,
and. selecting the most suitable cattle,
drive them into a corral and slaughter
them in broad daylight. Charles Chris
tian caught them in the act of killir?
ope of his choice steers a few days ago
and at once filed information againht
them. From papers found on Leslie
Watson, the youngest of the trio, it is
evident he comes from a good Eastern
family and only of late .operated with
the others. It appears that his right
name is Dewitt. and that he belongs to
an old New York family. They think
he will turn states evidence and assist
in convicting his pals and some others
who belong to the slickest gang of cat
tle thieves ever caught in these parts.

a\va»:ened from, their sleep by a man
'who rushed through the hallways,
kicking at the doors. pad calling ."fire."

rooms into the hallf, which were al
ready filled with smoke and flame, and
the general cry was
"Jump Froi*»ttkeWindfrws
anti save yourselvesf Many did so but
the jnmp was a bad one to risk. From
the upper story it was 30 feet on the
west side, with a plank roadway to
land on. The east side was the creek
which made the jump 40 feel Several
persons made the leap for life into the
stream and were rescued. Mr. and

HjC# YORK, April 3.—The famous
Vikinjf will probably leave Sandefjord
during the day. At any rate the naval
ship i| ready for the trip, its crew has
jibeen selected, and its departure is now
only a question of hours. In 1880, near
Sandefjord, at a village called Gogstad.
they discovered a vik-ng ship, one of
.the smaller vessels of the navies of those
'(ancient days when Thor still ruled in
^Norway. The Norwegians decided to
take this ancient ship as a model and to
build and to send across the Atlantic
such a vessel as had accompanied the
(greater ship of Lief the Lucky, when
i$e coasted New England
Nine Centuries Ajjo.
Qn Feb. 4 this vessel, the first of its
kind to kiss the waves in half a thou
sand years and more, was launched at
Sandefjord. She is 75 feet long, 16 feet
in beam, and 8 feet from gunwale to
base of keel. Her rudder is at the right
side, as in all the old vessels. There
used to be the "steer-board," hence the
modem starboard side. She will pull
18 oars to the side, eachoar 18 feet long.
Her mast will be 50 feet tall, and the
lugsail yard 2(5 feet. The shields which
ornament the side at each oarlock are
8 feet in diameter, and are painted
black and yellow alternately. She
is of solid century- defying oak
throughout. If the old fashion
|were strictly followed she would
have no covering. Bat seme conces
sion has been made to the softening
effeet of civilization upon the decend
ants of the vikings and there will be an
awning to shelter the rowers from the
spray and the wash and rains which
beat without stay upon the bearded
faces and broad, hairy chests of Leifs
hardy crew.
Crew of Modern Vikings
The crew of modern vikings for this
sMp» which is to be culled The Viking,
was selected from a list of 2b0 volun
teers land will number in all about 80
as good sailors and as brave as can be
found in all Norway, the home of
brave and good seamen. The
launch went off without accident, but
while the Viking was being towed by a
tug to Christiana she and her tug were
^caught in the ice. For two days her
crew fought through the freezing cold,
and at last saved her from wregk.
Will Lond at Newport.
She will make her first landing at
Newport, R. I where is that tower
from under wfth& dime the skeleton in
armor of Longfellow's ode. Then she
will come down the sound and the East
river and go up the Hudson, through
the Erie canal and the lakes, and so to
Chicago and the fair. She will be re
ceived here with great ceremony. The
first Sunday after her arrival she will
be escorted through the East river by
yachts from all the various clubs here
abouts, and there will be much firing of
guns and raising and lowering of flags.
In addition to the ancient standard of
The Vikings, she will carry the Ameri
can flag at the bow and a Norwegian
flag at the stern.
