St. Paul, Minn., September
8.—Fourteen citizens in pursuit
of the Northfield robbers over-
took them late Thursday night
in a ravine, a short distance
from Shieldsville. Shots were
exchanged and one of the rob
ber’s horses was killed, but as
the robbers turned to make a
tight, the citizens, poorly armed,
dared not to dash into them,
and the robbers mounting the
dismounted comrade double,
took to the woods and were
again lost sight of. They were
last heard of at Waterville tank
at two o’clock this evening,
going south toward Okamaua.
There are about four hundred
men in pursuit of them, one
baud of forty being less than an
hour behind, and it is believed
will have them before morning.
The robbery is the all-absorbing
topic of discussion here to-day,
and the general impression
seems to be that the robbers are
members of the famous Younger
and James gangs. It is certain
they first came to this city about
two weeks ago, over the river

a curious fact, that the notions
