           Police Officers and
                Bandit Die Together.
                
           Marquette, Mich., - Marquette's chief of police,
         MARTIN FORD, and Patrolman THOMAS THORNTON met death
         with their revolvers clutched in their hands. In the
         gun battle that cost them their lives, which began
         near Boucher's drug store here and ended at Chocolay,
         four miles away, JOHN LEMPF, their slayer, was shot
         to death, and FLOYD FORD, son of the police chief,
         was seriously wounded.
