Men Wuntcd for Murder v
The .men are wanted In connection
with the notorious Hounds Ditch mur-

revolvers and nro barricaded strongly
in thrco bulidlngs. So far they hnye
held their own and are pouring a
rain of bullets from available win-
dows. Two policemen have been shot.
It is impossible to find out whether
any ot the suspects have been killed
Or injured. An enormous crowd is
gathering
Building. Catches Fire.
The building on which the policemen'
nnu guardsmen directed their heaviest

time was a fiery furnace.
Fire Brigade Summoned.
Hundreds of shots had been fired
into the house when the structure took

A fire chief approached as near the
burning building as ho dared and an-
nounced in stentorian tones that no
.persons who would leave tho building

Firemen arriving on tho scene open-

that thnt most of the suspects wero
