Two Men Shot in Store Theft: William Elmer and John Bailey RUNNING FIGHT WITH THIEVES Officers Engage in Battle with Men Who Looted a Store of $400 and Escaped on Bicycles Scottsburg, Indiana, July 27-The store of Shildling & Blackfors (sic, consider Blackford a spelling variant) at New Washington was blown open early this morning and $400 taken. Three men on bicycles, who entered the store last night, were suspected. Armed officers started after them and surrounding towns were notified. Scottsburg officials learned that three men on bicycles were seen north of this place. The marshal and three deputies started after the men. When they came in sight of the thieves, the latter abandoned their bicycles and took to the woods. There was a running fight, and the marshal brought two of the men down with a shotgun. The third escaped but is still being hunted. The men were locked up here and gave their names as William Elmer and John Bailey. Elmer has 50 shot in him and Bailey is shot in the shoulder. Neither is fatally hurt.
