HIS HIDE PERFORATED BY MANY BUCKSHOT

Wellington, O., Oct. 15.—A man covered with blood and bearing many buckshot wounds, supposed to be one of the robbers who assaulted the three Meach brothers near Rochester, O., last night, was captured here today. The prisoner refused to make any statement. It is now believed that only four men were implicated in the affair. Two of the robbers were killed by Jarvis Meach and a third is fatally wounded and in custody. The authorities are positive that the man arrested here today accounts for the fourth member of the gang.

It is feared that Lorin Meach may die as the result of the rough treatment received at the hands of the would-be robbers.
