PITTSBUBG, Au:.. 1 10. ——Executions agI'gre-
gating$268,000 have been issued against
William E. Schmertz, a 11 ell kno11 n busi-
ness man of this city. Of the above exe—
cutions that for $100,000 was issued by

and $25,.000byH J. King, the Fifth a1e-
nue shoe dealer. The sheriff has closed

her notice, as she claims he had promised.
It was learned that while president of
the Third National bank Mr. Schmertz
had largely overdrawn his account in that
institution. The bank, however, is fully
protected. It is said that the failure is

Mr. Schmertz is quite ill, and' 1s confined
to his bed. His liabilities are estimated
at $300000,I with assets between $500, 000

. Robbed the Concern.

Securing a Revolver, for Which lie Did
Not Pay, llo l’rocc-edt-(l Boldly with
His \VOrk-é—It Is Reported That He
.Iée Has Been Shot to IDeuIthI.
LIMA, 0., Aug. 10.—A dapper looking
young man jumpedvof‘r‘ 11 Cincinnati, Ham-
ilton and Dayton train, at Columbus
Grove. From the station he went to John
Crawford’s hardware store near by and
bought a box of cartridges. He then asked
to see some revolvers. He picked up two
big ones and loading them presented them
at the proprietor’s head. The latter
dodged behind the counter and the
stranger slipped out.
. Paid a Visit to the Bank.
He then went to the Exchange bank
nearby. The latter is own cd by S. Maple,
and is a thriving institution. Mr. Maple’s
son, T. 'J. Maple, is the cashier. He opened
up as usual in the morning. Being Satur-
day, a heavy business was expected, and
he had taken out $1,200 in greenbacks and
had the money near the paying teller’s
window.
Sitting on a chair out in the lobby was
01 Tyford, a big, strong fellow and cour-
ageous.
Opened Fire at Once.
Suddenly there appeared in the open ‘
door of the bank a man. In either hand
he flourished a; revolver. Without a word
he began shooting. The first ball flew
harmlessly through the air and lodged in
the wall above the cashier’s head. Before
Mr. Maple could make a move to secure
his revolver a second shot from the in—
truder’s weapon shattered the bones of his
right arm. Another shot was fired and
the cashier fell from his chair wounded in
the right side.
Paralyzed with Fear.
Tyford had been a silent witness to the
crime. He could not stir nor speak. He
expected every minute his turn would
come next, and he was paralyzed with
fear.
Turning to him the desperado spoke for
the first time, and In the foulest language
ordered him not to stir on pain of meeting
a similar fate.
William Vandemark, an old farmer,
now appeared on the scene. As he stepped
inside the door the robber heard him.
Without a word he faced the old farmer
and leveled his weapon at him. The un-
fortunate victim had turned just half
round when the ruffiau fired.
The ball struck him on the side just
above the hip and passed almost through
his body. He fell bleeding and senseless.
Still Tyford sat horrified and spellbound“;
One Victim Dead.
Vandemark lingex ed until evening,when
he died.
With his 1evolvers the robber broke the
plate glass, and shoving his arm through
the ragged aperture, raked up all the
money and thrust it into the side pockets
of his long sack coat. By this time sev-
eral people had been attracted by the
sound of the shots. The desperado inside
realized that it was time for him to get
away. Again brandishing his revolvers he
dashed into the street. There was a wild
scattering on the part of the people. No
one was looking for thieves and murder-
ers, and there was not a weapon in the
crowd. The robber fired several times and
shouted:
“I am a second Jesse James I”
The last seen of him he was fleeing down
an alley.
The Cashier Recovers COnsciousness.
T. J. Maple, the cashier, soon reco1ered
consciousness and was able to keep up
long enough to direct the movements of
others. He was badly wounded in the
arm, but it is thought thee wound in the
side is not serious.
through too near the flese
vifil point.
r. Vaudemark, who was killed, wasa
farmer living about four miles from the
r'ove, in Union township. He had driven
into town wit some hogs and received
an order on the bank for his money, and
he had just stepped" In to present the order
for payment when he was struck down by
the leaden messenger of death. '
