Following the robbery, A.M. Ahlen, proprietor of the Motor Inn at Cleveland, and Mr. Pomeroy, gave chase to the robbers. They chased the car, they said, but the peculiar tread marks in the road. The trail lead from Cleveland down into Logan county 15 miles beyond Streeter.

The pursuers held to the trail all day Thursday and it led directly to the Haines and Stark farms it is said. There, according to authorities, the stolen goods were found.

Head Full of Shot.

Haines and Stark are said to have admitted the robbery and then escaped, pursued by Sheriff Balzer of Logan county and Ward Pomeroy and Ahlen. The two men were located behind a rockpile some miles distant. The sheriff called to them to surrender. Sparks did so, but Haines drew a gun and showed fight, then ran, pursued by the others. He was intercepted by Pomeroy, who had grabbed a shotgun. Haines pulled a revolver. Both shot at the same time, according to the story reaching here. Pomeroy was not hit, but almost the full charge of the gun entered Haines' head. He fell to the ground with a head full of bullets. He had not recovered consciousness today. Haines was brought to Jamestown by Sheriff Dan Wright of Stutsman County.
