Chicago, Noy. ?S.—Chained wriat to wrist, their hair matted with dried blood, their clothing covered with, dust and dirt—two beardless boys, JPeter Nledermelr and Harvey Van Dine, sat last night to the presence pt Mayor frarrlson and Ohiel or Police (Weil, calmly confessing to their share is a three months career ot crime which lias included nine murders, the wound- ing of five other men, and a longr se. rles of robberies. The two young bandits, neither of whom la over 21 years of age, together with their companion, Broil 'Roeski, who is no older, were captured neat Uverpool, Ind., after a fight in which they battled against policemen, rail, road detectives, railroad laborers and farmers. One man was killed, an- other fatally wounded and all threw of the young bandits wore wounded but not seriously. The*dead: T. J. Sovea, brahomaa on the Pennsylvania railroad. Wounded: James Driscoll, detective on Chicago polico force; shot through abdomen and can live but a short time; Matthew Zimmer, detective on Chicago polico forcei shot la head and arm. All Three Prisoner* WoUnd»d. Niedormier was wounded In th o hand by bird shot; Van Dine was sim- ilarly Injured and sustained In addi- tion a flesh wound in tho left thigh. Hoeakl Was shot In the right hip. His wound Is the moat serious of any in- flicted upon tho three men but was not sufficiently aorious to prevent him Arom traveling a long distance af tor re- ceiving it ' the car barns of the Chicago City rail- road company on Aug. 30, -when two men wore killed, a third badly wound- ed and $2,250 stolen from tho com- pany. Gustavo Bfarx, who last Saturday night murdered Officer John Quinn when the policeman endeavored to place him under arrest, confessed, aft- er his capture, that he, in company with the three men, had committed the crimes at the car barns. The. hunt for Van Dine, Niledermler and Roeski'has been hot ever since Although they know that the entire police force was looking for them the three men remained in the city until Wednesday morning. Word was brought to the police Thursday night by T. S. Reiohers, a school teacher near Clark Station, Ind., that three men answering the de- scription of those wanted for the ear bam murders were living In a dugout- Other stories placed the men near Waukegan, 111., and the police,.plac- ing no great reliance In any of tho ru- mors,'sent only eight men, Detectives Zimmer, DeRoche, Quayley, Qleason, Sheehan, Driscoll, Baumer and Hughes, to Indiana. Sheehan beins placed In charge of the squad. The men reached the dugout a t about 8 o'clock guided by Reiohers. As soon as they were in sight of the place the ofilcers advancpd in a circle \upon the dugout where the three rob- bers were supposed to be concealed. Driscoll, who was walklnr in clospr than the others, called out: \It does not look as though there la anybody ir. there\ \Don't anybody Are,\ ordered Shee- han, \until we know If they are the right people.\ Officer Drlscotl Shot. As Sheehan Bpoke Driscoll picked up a chunk of wood and hurled It at the dugout. InBtahtly there was a flash, a report and Driscoll fell In a heap, shot through the abdomen. One of his fellow officers stooped to raise him and the other six opened fire on the dugout from which the shots were now Coming thick and fast. While the Are was at its hottest. Van Dine and ROeskI rushed out fol lowed In a few minutes by Niedermier. The latter ran to the tracks of the Michigan Central railrjoad, and throw- ing himself flat on the roadbed stead- ied his arm on the rail as he kept up a rapid fire with three revolvers. Roeski ran for the brush, but Van Dine retreated Blowly, although thu air around him was filled with bul- lets and the snow at his feet was kicked up by them. He Is a'splendid marksman and catching sight of De- tective Zimmer, who was behind a tree, he fired. Zimmer went down with a bullet in the head. As he fell Van Bine fired again and the second'bul- let tore through ZImmer's arm. After his arrest, Van Dine said. \His head, ajpj hls_&rn3 weje. alijt could jflifi..-i»ppi see. I bit all there was of him.-\ \ ,. Boeski had by this time disappeared >nd \VanDine and Niedermier, placing their revolvers In their pockets, made ft run tor freedom. The detectives fired constantly, but the bandits es- caped. After running about a mile across country .they came to the tracks of the .Pennsylvania railroad. .An engine with a train of cars was. Close at hand, atid, hurryinjgr up to it the men ordered Braltemaa Sovea tc 'unoonple the train front the locomo live. He\ refused and attempted to take Niedejniier's: revolver from him- The latter instantly sent a. bullet through the brakeman's brain, laying him dead In the-snow- Springing-past Sovea's body the ban- dits mounted the locomotive wjth re- volvers In band and ordered the engi- neer to move out in a hurry. Which he did, going in the direoffon of Liver- pool, Ind. Aiter two miles had been covered the me,n ordered toe engineer to slow down, and, leaping to the ground, they disappeared in the woods. After the traif had carried Van Dine and Niedermier away Detective Sheehan hurried to the nearest tele- graph station and wired to Chief O'Neil, asking that men b e Bent out with rifles, The message met with % prompt x response, Assistant Chief Schuettlor and 50 officers armed with rifles were on their way to Millers. Railroad l^ert and Farmers In Pursuit, The oftlclajs of the Pennsylvania railroad also rose to tho emergency. Captain Brigss of the detective ser- vice of that railroad was given a spe- cial train as soon as the news of the murder of Brakemon Sovea was known, and -with orders to take no tfmnees, spare no oxpenao and got the three men dead or alive, he and his men woro off towards Uverpool. The entiro system of the Pennsylvania road was placed temporarily nndor or- ders of Captain Brlgsa. The news of tho fight at the dugout hM spread with great rapidity through, the country/and by the time tho two panting men rushed up to tho locomotivo a hundred farmers and railroad laborers wero after them. These wore left behind with tho Chi- cago detectives, although one farmer armed with a shotgun got la his worfc as tho train started away. Catching sight, of Van Dine as he poked his face tbrongh the cab win- dow, ho turned* looso with both bar- rels. A number ot shot strnck Van Major Itunolo was on tho stand sov- blQ. , When they left tho train both men were nearly exhausted and unable to travel. Tho eountry at that place is rough, sandy and cut up by gravel pits. Tho farmers, railroad laborers and officers of tho Pennsylvania road wero coming up fast and soon were close on the fugitives' heels. It was easy to track them in the new fallen snow. Tho men were seen as they dodged about in the sand dunes, and the form- ers, most of whom wero armed with double barrelled shot guns, opened Ore. Niedermier received a charge full in the head and the blood streamed down his face and Into his eyes, blinding him so that he could hardly see. A. shot graced Van Dlne's head, carrying oft some of his hair, and his wounded leg was weakening. Threw Away Guns and Surrendered. The posse was closing In on all sides. There was no escape, and it was evident that the time had come either to surrender or to fight to the death. Both men were heavily armed and able to take more lives before they lost their own; but, as Van Dine said in discussing his surrender, \there would have been no good in -that, as we have not shot anybody unless we have had to, and killing any of those fellows would not have let me oft. The jig was up for us, no matter how. many wo killed. I sayB to Pete: '-Well, what do you think?* He nodded his head and dropped his guns, and that's how they got us.\ Van Dine, who has served in the army In the Philippines and shows his military training in many ways, was full of scorn for the men who had taken him, \I could have killed no end of them,\ he said. \They came walking along like a drove of quail and I conld have covered the ground with them. I had plenty of cartridges, and I generally hit what I shoot at. It would ,not done me any good, though, and I don't shoot unless it Is necessary.\ The men were at once handcuffed, placed upon a train and hurried to Chicago, the city police officers wasf Ing not a minute in rushing them over the line into Illinois to avoid possible conflict with the Indiana police, who might have demanded the men on ac- count of murder of Sovea. This fear was not justified, as Governor Durbin Of Indiana said he approved their ac tlon. They were taken from the train at the Archer avenue crossing in a patrol wagon and hurried to the city hall. They .were taken into the. office of Chief O'Neil,' and there in the pres- ence of Mayor Harrison and a throng of officers they discussed the events of the' day as calmly as though it had been nothing unusual for them.

With only a short Bridewell sen- tence representing their criminal court records up to six months ago the ex- ploits of these youths since last July have had the police department of Chicago in a state ot bewildorment.

TESTIMONY IN WODD CASE, Major Runcle Telia of M»o«lna Ar- ticle Attacking Ganerat Brooke. Washington, Nov. 28.—Tho senate committee on military affairs heard Major James B. Runcle of Havana, probably tho most Important witnesa that will be offered by the opponents of General Leonard Wood, in their at- tempt to provent his confirmation to bo major genoral. Cuba, attended by himself, General Wood and Itay Stannard Dakor, n newspaper man, at which. It Is alleged, was planned tho magazine artlclo at tacking Major General Brooke, that has figured conspicuously In the Wood case. Major Rundo was told to give nothing but facts of which ho had per- sonal knowledge. This did not ex- clude his story of tho dinner Incident which resulted in tho issuo, of sub- poenas for three other witnesses, among, whom Is General Brooke. In his testimony Major Runcio ex- plained that he had acted as the confi- dential adviser of General Wood for nearly two years and that they lived together at Santiago. It was while they were living In the same houso that Mr. Bajfor went to Santiago in search of material for a magazine ar- ticle. A meeting was arranged between the three men and a dinner followed, said Major Runcle, at which was dis- cussed the plan to have published an article which would exploit the suc- cess of General Wood In dealing with affairs at Santiago and draw a com- parison with the situation at Havana unfavorable to the administration of General Brooke. Major Runcle declared that General Wood asked him tol write the article and that he did so. The article was given to Baker and published in Feb- ruary, 1900, over the name of Major Runcle. He asserted that General Wood knew what the article contained and that they had correspondence about it as the result of the furore cieated by Its publication. Brakeman Robbed on Train. Willlamsport, Pas, Nov. 28.—N. I. Haner. a Pennsylvania railroad brake- man, was held up and robbed by a masked man near Wilcox, while his train was running at the rate of 40 (nlles an hour. He was covered by a revolver in tho hands of a man on a box car and compelled to give up his watch and money. • The robber es- 3»ped by jumping from the train. CHAMBERLAIN'S COUGH REMEDY IS PLEASANT TO TAKE. • The finest quality of granulated loaf sugar isTised in the manufact- ure of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and the roots used iin its prepara- tion give it a flavor similar to maple syrup,, making it quite pleasant to take.
