South Norfolk, Conn., Sept. 18 A gang of New Y'ork crack men looted the lieautiful Italian villa of Mark Twain at Redding early to day and afterwards engaged in a desperate pistol battle with Sheriff Banks, of Danbury, and his posse During the battle Sheriff Banks was shot in the leg and one of the robbers was wounded and captur ed. The battle took place on lioard a train of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad as it drew out of Bethel, Shenfl Banks having traced the robliers to that point. It was about midnight when Miss Lyon, Mark Twain's secretary, was aroused by hearing the crash of a glass on the lawn in front of the house. She awakened the humorist and his daughter, Miss Clara Clemens, and the but ler, Claude Douchotte, who was m ined. The party sallied out on the lawn and found two men rifling the drawers of an oaken sideboard which they had carried from the dining room and which was tilled with souvenirs and costly plate. The appearance of the family frightened the men, who fled, fol lowed by bullets from the butler's pistol. II. Lansbury. a neighbor, telephoned to Sheriff Ranks and in a short time the sheriff and several deputies were on the scene. It was found that the robliers had gone away with several hundred dollars worth of valuables. The sheriff and his men traced the burglars to Bethel and overhauled them there as they lwurded a train which w as" pulling out, bound for New York. John Dias, the con ductor told the sheriff the robbers were on lioard and in the last car, where they had depo-sited a bag containing a lot of loot. Six or seven shots were fired by the burglar who is known as "Red' Rooney and the sides and the roof of the car were perforated. Con stable George Banks displayed wonderful grit by holding to his man in spite of the fact that he had lieen shot in the thigh and was When Rooney pounded into subjec tion several seats in the car were demolished and the car looked like a slaughter pen, lieing saturated wiih blood from the officers am the burglars. A bug of loot containing $600 or i700 worth of silverware was found in the seat of the car. FOLLOW THIS ADVICE! rDon't buy just a sewing-machine, buy a WHITE machine.
