The affair was directly pro- duced by the carlier incident, Inasmuch as it had brought into operation an intensive Police Investigation, and the formulation of a plan for the capture of the wanted men, which might have beon successful but for the quarry belug much on the alert them-

The detectives returned the fire, and as the three gunmen bounded up the slopes-they followed them, maintaining a hot fire as they ran. In the clear moonlight, they kept the quarry within view, but familiarity with the countryside gave the latter a useful advantage over their pursuers. They soon disappeared in the dark recesses, under the pine trees.

Altogether the encounter did not last for more than

shots being fired by both sides, but none taking effect.
