VOLLEY FROM IOWA MOONSHINERS.

Deputy Marshal Wray Possibly Fatally Injured for Making an Arrest. Deputy Marshal A. D. Wray, of Ot-< tumwa,-lowa, was murderousLyassaulted, at Albia, Tuesday morning, by supposed; moonshiners, who recently came from; Kentucky. He had arrested Gabe Johnson, charged with “bootlegging,” and taking him to an early morning train. A band of masked men sprang from an alley and demanded his release. Upon Wray’s refusal, the gang opened fire, filling his back with shot. He returned the fire, but ineffectively, and they escaped. Posses are searching for them, and if they are found they may be lynched. Wray is, perhaps, fatally injured.
