BANK BOBBERS Box of the Bank of Camden Point. SHOOTING BEE IN THE DARK. K. C. World, Jan. 4. Burglars attempted to rob thesafe in the bank at Camden Point in Platte county, shortly before 1:30 o'clock this morning. They had sue- ceeded in blowing open the safe, but had not time to get to the money drawer before the alarm was given, It is probable that the safe blowers would have been successful and se- cured a considerable sum of money had not the “lookout’’ been discov- ered by F. H. Rixey of Camden Point who was returning home from a par ty. Young Rixey saw the man as he drove past the bank and had driven but a few yards when the ex- plosion took place, Driving hurried- ly to the home of J, W, Pullins young Rixey aroused him and Mr, Pullins armed with a shotgun started for the bank. In the meantime the safeblowers, four in number, had become alarmed and started for the railroad station of Tracy, about a mile from Camden Point. They were intercepted by Pullins, who pluckily opened fire on the burglars. One of the burglars returned the fire and a lively shoot- ing bee took place on the dark road, Pullins wounded his man, as he and the others who joined him about this stage of the affair saw that blood ASTORIA For Infants and Children. ‘The Kind You.

Washington, Jan. 2.—Command- ant W. D. Snyman, who was a mem- ber of Gen. De Wet’s staff in South Africa up toa year ago, and who, for some time, has represented the Boer cause in the west, called upon President Roosevelt to-day. Com- mandant Snyman is a tall, fine-look- ing Boer and talks English with a slightly broken accent. “I called upon the president,” said he, ‘to thank him for he ving sent to my wife, who is inSouth Africa, some money I desired her to have. I shall always feel grateful to President Roosevelt. Isaw my wife’s signa- ture to-day for the first time in months.” “How did money?” “Through the United States consul at Cape Town, and her answer to my letter was returned through thesome channel.” Commandant Snyman did not talk with the president about the war in South Afriea. He did not consider it a proper subject to discuss with the president of the United States. He simply wanted to thank him for get- ting the money to his wife. “The Boers,” said he, “can easily see that the president can do noth- ing to stop the war, even if he were so disposed.
