He was found about one of the grain elevators and was taken into custody. On the way to the lock-up the fellow made a dash for liberty and the officer opened fire on him. One bullet entered his head just back of the ear and came out in under the eye. He made bis escape, however, and staid all night in the country. The next day he came to town and asked for medical attention. He was sent to a hospital at Logansport for treatment.
