ATter W. desperate struggle with

Dutch," and George Barton, alias
"Chicago Army," the two notorious
yeggmen and poatofflce robbers wbo
dynamited the county Jail at Green
ville, S. C, and escaped Monday morn'
lng, Deputy Sheriff Arthur Rogers
suDauea ana captured Barton at
Craggy station and sent him In to the
Jail here yesterday afternoon.
Mr. Rogers who made a nervy light
against both men at once was so se
riously Injured in the melee that he
had to have the care of a physician.
His hand was badly lacerated and one
ear was nearly chewed off by "Tenn
essee Dutch," who In the encounter
succeeded In wrestinok the officer's
pistol from him and making his es
cape.
A small posse of officers Including
Deputies Jordan. Mitchell and two
or three officers from the city police
force followed the trail of "Tennessee
Dutch" all the afternoon and far into
the night, but he succeeded in eluding
them.
The Citizen Helped Some.
Monday afternoon the local officers
were notified that the two yeggmen
had escaped from the Greenville Jail
and were asked to be on the lookout
for thorn as they were thought to
be heading this way. A description
of the two men was given and this
was published briefly In The Cltixen
yesterday morning, In whleih It was
stated that one of the men was short
and stout and of a Jewish appearance
and the other had but one arm. It
was this description that enalhled
Deputy Rogers to spot the two men
yesterday morning. He was crossing
the railroad track near Craggy station
when he saw two men sitting on the
ban of the railroad cut. One of them
he saw had but one arm, and he at
once suspected that they were the
two escaped Jailbirds. He approaehe1
them casually, and when close at
hang drew his pistol, but before he
oould cower thlem both men were
upon him and a hand to hand strug
gle for' the possesBtmmf the .revolver
ensued.
Fought Uke Savages.
Mr. Rogers fought desperately, but
the two ' men were more than he
could manage, and Anally after a
terrific fight JUi which the deputy's
hand was badly lacerated and his ear
almost chewed off "Tennessee Dutch
got the revolver and Immediately took
to the woods. Barton, the other des
nerarto. also tried to get away, but
as he made his break for liberty, Mr.1
Rogers caught him by the foot,
throwing hhn heavily. In a moment
the deputy was on top of his man,
and the odds being more even now
held him securely until some of the
nearby residents came to his assist
ance. Then securing his prisoner, he
telephoned to the sheriff's office here
for help.
Deputy Sheriff Williams, Jordan
and Mltetiell rushed to Craggy in an
automobile, and the cnase after the
fleeing "Tennessee Dutch" was begun
by Jordan and Mitchell while Deputy
Williams returned to the city with
his prisoner and lodged tolm in Jail.
Barton claim that some one struck
him In the back, with a rock after
he was rptured, and that he Is se
verely injured.
The neighborhood around Craggy
station turned out en massa to Join In
the hunt, and great excitement pre
vailed among the residents when It
was known that so desperate a char
acter as Tennessee Dutch was running
loose In their midst.
The' officers of the adjoining coun
ties all along the railroad line have
been notified to be on the lookout for
the fugitive, but It is not thought like
ly that he will attempt to follow the
