AFTER THE BALL.
SHERIFF SHQOTS GANGSTERS. KANSAS CITY, August 17. Returning in evening dress from a party about daylight, the city sheriff, Thomas Bach, shot two gangsters and captured another. He had seen a man rushing along the footpath and exchanging shots with three men in a car. Making his apologies to his lady companions, the sheriff—who in true Western style keeps his firearms handy— seized his riot gun, and opened fire on the men in the car, killing two. In the meantime the bandits in the car had sprayed Ferris Anthon, a notorious gangster of Kansas City, with a shower of bullets from a machine-gun, killing him. Ferris had just alighted from his own car in front of his house, when the three '"beer barons"—his rivals—opened fire from their car.
