: | i if y i SHOT THE ‘BANK CASHIER. fwo Robbens Make a Raid on Adel fowa, State Bank. Adel, Ia.. March 6.—A desperate! and partly successful attempt was made to rob the Adel State bank this morning. A few minutes be-| fore 9 o'clock this morning 2 strang ers drove into town and tied ea team near the public square. They got out and without attracting any | particular attention stepped into the bank. had just taken from the vaalt the| eurrency for the days business. C. | D. Bailey, a leading merchant, was | writing at a desk in the lobby. They | were the only occupants of the bank. | One of the strangers stepped up to} the cashier's window and said he wanted to deposit some money. Al- most the same instant the second robber, who was behind, leveled a shotgun at Leach and fired, the| charge taking effect in his shoul- der. He then ordered the cashier to hand over the money. The lat- ter handed over a small sack of sil yer, and then, though badly wound- ed, seized a drawer containing about 3,000 in gold and currency and, staggering to the vault, he pitched the money in and skut and locked the door. Weak from loss of blood he then fell to the floor. One of the robbers now sprang over the counter and began shovel- ing al! the money in sight into a sack, and the one with the gun turn- ed to Mr. Bailey, who was still standing at the desk, tired a shot at him, wounding him in the neck. He fell to the floor and the robber tired at his prostrate form, but miss- ed him. By this time a crowd had gathered outside and the two rob- bers, one carrying the money and she other wielding the gun, made a zush for their buggy. Fully fifty shots were fired at them, but none apparently took effect. They qnick- ly got into their buggy and till keeping the crowd at bay drove rape idly away. Several men sprang up- on horses and followed and a run- ning fight of several miles ensued. About four miles south of town the buggy driven by the robbers struck a tree and broke a wheel. The robbers, still closely pursued, abandoned the rig and one hid be- hind a bank, where he was soon cap- sured, and the other, with the gun yan into a barn near by. Tbe barn was surrounded but the bandit held dhe crowd at bay. He was called spon to surrender, but resolutely zefused and said he would never be taken alive. After a parley the | not dangero The cashier, S. M. Leach, |» ae only about $600 on the bank and the money was all found where their buggy broke down. It is not believed that either Bail-| ey or Leach is fataily burt. The) latter received a full charged of shot in the shoulder, making a bad but wound. Bailey shot in the neck, the flesh and skin being torn away almost to the jpipe. He will recover unless inflam mation sets was wind Several cit were hurt by scattering shots tired! by the robbers on the uggy. Postmaster R. S | stepped out of the postoffic: to the way the retreating robbers passed. jlatter ordered him inside, but be- |fore he could comply fired at him, | one shot striking his forearm and | another piercing his hatand grazing his forehead. J. M. Byers, J. M. Simcoke and a boy named Cecil Decker were also slightly injured. The daring robbery has caused in-| tense excitement. The town is full) of armed men, most of whom had turned out from neighboring towns on the first report of the robbery to aid in capture of the robbers. There is still considerable talk of lynching Crawford, but the sheriff and lead- ing citizens are trying to paeify the crowd, and will prebably succeed, though if anybody makes a start there would be plenty of followers to make the bandit stretch hemp. Effect 0 of the ) St. Louis Rebublic Our new tariff is having a good effect on the foreign trade of the country. Exports have increased steadily since August and there has also been a large gain in imports. The report for the calendar year just issued by the Treasury Department shows that merchandise valued at, $250,000,0000 was exported during the last three months, with exports amounting to $575,000,000 in the first three quarters, The monthly average in the last quarter was $83,- 500,000 and in first three only $64,- 090,000. Our imports in October, Novem- ber and December amounted to over $172,000,000 as compared with $167,000,000 in the first and third quarters and %168,000,000 in the second ono. December's were the largest monthly imports of the year with but two exceptions,and that month's exports were surpassed but once. December's exports were $15,000,- 000 larger than the monthly average last year,and $11,000,000 more than- that of 1893. As compared with the monthly average in 1852 and 1891 crowd partially untied the captured robber and compelled him to set fire to the barn. The advancing flames finally forced him to come out, but he still refused to surrender and the crowd of citizens fired a vole Jey athim. He fell dead, pierced by three bullets. Tvo took effect in the head and one in the side and either would have been fatal. It was with the utmost difliculty gaat the angry crowd was prevented from wreaking vengeance on the robber that was alive. But Sheriff Payne hustled him into a buggy and drove rapidly back to town. A erowd of several hundred had gath ered at the jail when the sheriff reached there with his prisoner. There were loud cries of “shoot him,” “hang him,” but the officer managed to elude the mob and land his trembling prisoner safely be- hind the bars. The captured man, or rather boy, for he is only 19 years old, has made a complete confes- sion. He says his name is Charles W. Crawford and kis home is near Patterson, in Madison county. The dead robber is O. P. Wilkins and was released only a few weeks ago from the Minnesota penitentiary at Stillwater, where he served three years for robbery. Crawford says their only weapon was a Winchester shotgun, carried by Wilkins and the testimony of witnesses bears out this statement. He claims to have been coerced into assisting Wilkins and says they went to Indianola last Monday morning for the purpose of robbing the bank there, but he re fused at the last moment after reach- ing the town and job was abandon- ed. They staid last night with a farmer living a few miles southeast the gain was $6,000,000 and $4,000, 000 and $4,000,000 respectively. Heavy increases in our foreign trade after the new tariff took effect helped to swell the year’s total to something like the old time figures. The value of our shipments of mer. chandise last year to foreign coun- tries was €825,000,000 or about the same as that of our exports in 1889. The shipments were really much larger, but the decline in prices puts their value below that of the other year’s shipment’s. This applies al- less for it. Compared with our record for 1823, last year’s exports fell off $47,- 000,000, or less than 6 per cent. They were $72,000,000 behind the annual average for the preceeding five years. This is a loss of nearly of merchandise the decrease was, of course, much less, prices being con- siderably lower last year than they had averaged for the five preceeding years. With the help of the new tariff the country was able to make a pret- ty good showing in its foreign trade | last year. This year it will do bet- ter still. Instead of three or four | months, we will have the revised tariff all year. The January returns are not complete as yet, but so far in the back when Dr Sawyer’s Pastilles will absolutely — positively cure you. Sold by HL Tucker.

March 6.— Speaker Crisp shares with the Presi- dent the view that the coming mone- tary conference “looks like business.” He does not regard his appointment as auempty honor. Ina brief con- versation he said he intended to procure and read the reports of the proceedings of the several interna- tional monetary conferences hereto fore held because he was “in as great need of information and instruction on that subject as anybody well could be.” “I have been greatly encouraged by recent indications of a change of sentimen in Europe in regard to sil- ver, and I have strong hopes that if another conference shall be held practical results may be obtained. For my part I would rejoice to see the silver question eliminated from the next presidential campaign.” Judge Crisp has hitherto been in full sympathy with Bland on this share the opinion of the latter that the proposition for another interna- tional monetary conference is a create confusion and demoralization and defeat their efforts to restore, that metal “to its rightful place in | the money of the world.” | IN THE WESTERN STATES. | | The Number of Mortgages in Force Is | Tremendously Large. “On June 1, 1890, in the State of \force was 298,880, amounting to the | 26,590,795 acres. showing a per cap-| family.

Mr. Reed then in- formed the Democrats that Repre- sentative Hitt, of Illinois, wouid be the Republican delegate, and the | mame was put in the resolution. Mr. Hitt is one of the most radical gold ;menon the Republican side. The selection and the manner in which it which it was made stirred up the Western men.

Mr. Jevous was a prominent figure in this city during the palmy days of the cattle business. He came from England and invested a for- tune in cattle, and, like most of the cattle barons in those days, he was a high roller. In fact he was noted for his extravagance, even in the swift company in which he traveled. He was playing poker and drinking, pistol and blew his brains out.
