Wi Answer for Swindling a Farmer, PLATTSMOUTH, Neb., Nov. 3.—(Spe- clal Telegram.)—Sherift Eikenbary came down from South Omaha yesterday in charge of Willlam Wagner, whom he arrested at that place. Wag- ner was taken before Justice Archer to| answer to the charge of defrauding Elias | Sage, a farmer who lives near this eity, out of o wagon load of apples, valued at $30. His | trial was set for Monday morning. ~ Wagner has earned a bad record in this locality. Two years ago he moved to Omaha. He returned to Plattsmouth only a few weeks ago and s0ld some clothing belonging to his brother- in-law and pocketed the money. In addition to buncoing Farmer Sage, for which offense he will now be punished, it has come to light that he defrauded an lowa farmer, named Powell, out of a load of onions in the sa manner as he worked Sage. His scheme is to represent that he has a large contract to Alll and needs only one more load to complete it. On the whole, his schemes are quite successful. Belloevae College Students Entertained.

Li The MARS, Ia, Nov. 2—To the Editor of Bee: I write to tell you that I think your course in the present political cam- paign has been honorabl If all journal- fsts would in like manner expose the charac- ter of unworthy candidates it would be much better for parties and the political press would be more useful to the people, A great many journalists act as If they had a halter around their necks and they seem o be afraid to admit the truth. The re- sult is tho people look upon them as un- rellable Intimes when information is greatly needed. No one needs to fear the truth in politics, and the sooner this is recognized the better it will be for all. This is a republican year, and on oc- casions like this “tattooed” candidates press themsetves upon their party. They hope to ride into office on the wave of party en- thusiasm. They hope to have their short- comings condoned by the voters on the ground that the party must have a victory. Men often get into office this way, which is a positive damage to the party. No party can afford to champion the cause of a corrupt candidate for office, and when by mistake or otherwise the conventions name unworthy candidates the proper thing to do s for the voters of the party to defeat them, ~ To defeat Tom Majors this fall and elect Judge Holcomb in his stead could fot be a discredit to the republican party, but a decided advantage rather. The victory lg theirs by right, and to let the head of the ticket be ignominlously defeated woyld be interpreted as an act 1o purge the party This would give the party standing among impartial judges, and it would be regarded as a legal notice to subsequent conventions that good men must bo named for offics, otherwise defeat shall be their portion. This kind of a lesson is sometimes necessary, otherwise convention packers become éh- tirely too arrogant. The voting masses, who are not candi- dates for office, and who are interested in a viso and economical administration of public affairs, should Indicate In unmistakable terms to the leaders of the various partles that there must not be any questionable methods pursued in choosing candidates: Grave charges have been preferred against the head of the republican ticket, and the fact that they have not been refuted s very ominous that they cannot be. The central committes would seem error in not accepting your proposition to investigate theso charges. This was die the voters of the party and they will resent the oversight. If these charges were false the candidate could not lose anything and the party would gain; If true, the candidate would have to bear the responsibility and the party would be exonerated. As it stands now, both the party and its candidate stand con- victed, I misjudge the temper of Nebraska re- publicans if they will allow themselves to be throttled that way. A great many of them have been getting their fill to com- plete satiety in the last few years at the hands of the ‘‘Mosher-Majors state house combination’ and they think this is a good time to call a halt. “Ruin the credit of the stat There is only one place that honesty can ruln—hell. Nebraska people need mot fear to flee from Tom Majors. The campaign talk of Majors' supporters affords Thought for a minute, Fun for an hou And a joke forever, When the editor of the Wisner Chronicle, a man of intelligence, a scholarly and up- right gentleman, a born republican, a man whose every breath is freighted with loyaity to the republican party, a citizen who be- lieves in good government and who has not a scintafla of faith in the democratic party— when he cannot support his party's candidate for governor it is high time to Inquire if 4 mistake has not been made In republican councils and what is the best way out. That a great mistake has been made Is very evident, and the most feasiblo way out is to vote for the best man nominated, ir- respective of party. Yes, The Omaha Daily Bee can stand all the criticisms that its course during the presont campaign invites. Its readers will hold it responsible for the truth and that alone. If there are any men who do not like to be scanned in the light of truth let them keep themselves in the background and not allow themselves to be named as_candidates for offices of trust and honor. Yours truly, in C. C. MATTER. ———— TURN TOM LOWR OMAHA, Nov. 3.—To the Editor of The Bee: The past record of Tom Lowry is not such as to commend him to the voters of the First ward. His shamless disregard of the rights of the people and his servile domina- tion by the electric light company and other corporations during his former councilmanic career ought eternally to damn him for any office of either trust or profit. The voters of the First ward, without regard to politics, should seo to it that he Is not again returned (0 the city councll. His first and chiof pur- pose is to serve Tom Lowry, and if the future can be judged by the past this can best be done by serving certain corporations, who In turn must make it an object 80 to do, The #ale of Tom Lowry of his Leavenworth street lot for ten times its real value to the Thom- son-Houston Electric Light company while a member of the city councll is a significant fact that never has been explained and never can be explained except on the theory of quid pro quo. It is high time that honest men who will consider the rights of the publie rather than personal interest should be elocted as coun- citmen. A good city government and the proper administration of its affairs demands that Tom Lowry shal be turned down. FIRST WARDER. DOWN. THE LOCAL ART IN THE LOAN. That Omaha has much genuine talent among the local amateurs and semi-pro- fosslonals becomes at once apparent to any one visiting the present art loan, now being held on the third floor of the new library building. One large room is devoted almost exclu- sively to thelr work, and here one may see and judge of the excellence and completeness of It. The ln‘idrclfl chosen by them cover a wide fleld, and display in many instances the versatility of thelr brush, where animals, still life, figures and flowers, are painted | with equal ease. They ex it I thelr work little stgn of embarrassm@ht in the marked differences of thelr subjects, and in this peculiar respect Mrs. Frances Mumaugh serves as a striking lilustration. Whether she be painting sheep or flowers she shows the same earnestness and the same fidelity and truthfulness to detail which characterizes all of her work “Grapes” shows an exquisite bit of color. A tempting mass of great vhite, red and purple grapes are strewn carelessly upon a table, with just enough of the vine and leaves o throw out. the colors in the for ground. A silver mounted decanter stands beside them, and is highly decorative. Stud- les of roses, strawberries and melons are all excellent examples of this artist's con- sclentious brush, and her “Horse,” “Calf” | and “Dog” show her to be also a painter of animals of no mean order. Mr. Albert Rothery exhibits several strong pleces, foremost among them being two por- | traits, one in pastel and the second one in | ofl. The latter shows an old man wearing spectacles, reading a newspaper. His pipe | I8 in his mouth, and the smoke curls up in the alr above the paper. The head is full of | character, and the exhibits that fullness and roundness which only a clever artist can impart to canvass. The pose is natural, and the expression of wrapt attention bestowed upon the perusal of the paper is & bit of very happy exccution. The second portrait, done iIn pastel, is another highly successful work, and one which proves the artist's ability to take a prominent position among portraitists. “At the Trysting Place,” dis- closes a pretty bit of landscape with an anx- fous little boy seated on the grass awaiting the coming of his companions. A ball and bat are on the ground besids him, and tell their own story. Mrs. C. C. McKnight exhibits “Study of a Conch Shell,” that is dainty and well handled. The tender pink lining has the luminous glow which one sees in the original and the drawing Is excellent Mr. John J. Herold shows one of the best pleces in the room, “Study from Still Life." It represents the interior of a painter's work- shop with an unfinished canvas, a jug filled with brushes, a statuette and a palette on which some paints are mixed. On the table are a book or two, and in the background a pile of books and red fez cap with drooping tassel. A less skillful artist might have been tempted 1o aim at a more semsational pic- torial effect, but there is no exaggeration in this picture, and it is charming. Mrs. Livingstone exhibits several pieces of her own work, but none of them more pleas- ing than “Lilacs’ and ‘‘Roses”—worthy com- panion pieces. The bewlldering mass of su- perb roses, from the palest pink to the deep- est red, thrown in magnificent abandonment upon an all maroon table cover, form a lux- urlous melody of grouping and color. In “Lilacs” we see a pretty gold bronze bowl filled to_overflowing with white and purple lilacs. They droop over the sides of the urn and fall onto the table, they shed their leaves ahd are so georgeous in their splendid profusion that one longs to have just such a mass of flowers always about one in one's own room. Mrs. Orr sends two examples of her work, “Watermelon” and “Study of Roses,” both of which are faithfully portrayed Mr. Shill has two portraits, one of the frontier type of character with which the west is familiar, the other of a lady, both of which show many good points aad are not lacking in tone. Mrs. C. F. Catlin’s pictures show a wide and extensive range of subjects and her brush seems to show none of those signs of feebleness which one might reasonably ex- pect to find in going from still life to figures and work in genre. Her painting exhibits much genuine talent. This clever amateur paints still life with almost the precision of a naturalist, ber subjects stand out in bold relief and never degenerate into stupid imi- tation. “Judgment of Paris" is an excellent example of her flzure paintings, a_strong, vigorous style, in which the problems of draughtsmanship and anatomy have been overcome and the effgets of color, line and form of flesh been preserved, The plcture is after Henry Peter Grey's well known painting in the Corcoran art gallery at Wash- ington, and is the last copy permitted to be made, the exact sizo as the original, it having been found necessary to restrict the size of coples in order to preserve Interest in the original painting. “Fun and Fight,” after Chieciri, is a careful copy of the picture by that artist and shows an interior in which overy detail of the cuisine is in evidence. A small boy, bent on fun, has found a grotesaue mask and holds it to his face to frighten his little sister, who clings to her mother's gown in terror. The threatening attitude of the woman suggests speedy chas- tisement, and the look of anger pictured on her face s suggestive of trouble in store for the mischievous boy. “Quail,” “Duck” and “Pheasant” are true to life and “The Old Homestead.” showing the birth place of the artist’s family on Long island, is a quiet bit of landscape, an old-fashioned house with dormer windows, an aveune of trees and a glimpse of water with a sailboat in the back- ground. Miss Grace Uhl of Shenandoah, Ia., ex- hibits three sketches which denote conscien- tious study, “A Portrait,” “Interior of Studio,” and “Still Life.” In the last named we see a brass candlestick, with candle, a book and open cigarette case. In an “In- terior” she represents the former studio of the art school; a large window delicately screened; a low Turkish divan with soft, luxurious cushions, a white fur rug on the floor and a full size copy of the Venus de Milo in the corner. In the open light of the window sits a model posing for the class. Miss Clara Ruth exhibits “Study of Brass Candlestick” and “Copper Kettle,” both lever bits of still life. Miss Chloe Brown's Apples” are very natural, and her *‘Study of Copper Kettle" Is also good. Miss Maggie Moores has a very dainty example of her work, ““World-Herald and Candy,” showing a table strewn with bon-bons and boxes, a copy of a dally paper, a letter or two, and wine glass filled with a few violets. Miss Snowden exhibits several beautiful and well finished pictures, “Raspberries,” rolling out from a box onto a table, are as tempting and real as a bit of fresh fruit; they are of the fragrant, pink variety, and are beautiful. A hunter's bag and “Duck,” hanging upon a wooden slab is another fine plece of work from her brush, but the picture which will attract one at once is, “After the Opera.” A'table strewn with My Lady's roses, opera glasses, books, lace fan and handkerchief, are posed in careless negli gence, and all are reflected into a mirror In the background.The transparent opaline tints of the pearl in the lorgnettes are well re- produced, and the whole effect of the paint- ing is pleasing and striking, Mrs. Willis' “0ld Woman on the Bottoms,” presents a type that one would prefer (o view on canvas rather than encounter in actual life—an old colored woman whose clotes hang upon her In open defiance of all laws of the modiste, and whose figure shows none of those curves of beauty which her more-favored sisters could lay ciaim to. The subject 13 mo doubt true to life and the region known as the “bottoms" could prob- ably produce many such characters, but the type is not a pleasing one, although the artist has painted it with considerable skill. Mr. Mark V. Polack, whose excellent sketches in pen and ink have already been noticed in these columns, exhibits several very excellent sketches in oils which deserve speclal attention. ‘‘Peaches” shows just a few rich, rosy peaches and a few purple plums, but they are painted with such true fidelity that it surprises one to know they ars the work of an amateur and local student, | One or two of the peaches are & trifle over- ripe and the decay is reproduced in color and effect In the most truthful manner, Mr. Polack excels as & t0lorlét and his work is t all times conscientious and artistic, ‘Sunlight in Midday” discloses a stretch of sloping ground with the moonday sun upon it, turniog the verdure to a golden green tone. “Marshy Ground” is a landscape treated in this young artist's best vein and the low ground is well portrayed. Mr. Charles Huntington does such com- mendable work and has such true under- standing of the requirements of his art that it fs always a rare pleasure to see his plctures in an exhibition. “Alone” is striking picture and appeals strongly to the pectator, A single buftalo, lost or strayed OMAHA DAILY BEE: from the herd, In He mountain home, stanfs on a high bit of and looks in valn for fta maté. There is such a profound sense of desolation, of utter Joneliness In the picture that one's sympathies become groused and Intultively one turné to a gayer theme. There are three landscapes by the same artist, which show happy glimpses of nature and denote that there are picturesque works not far from our town where winding roads and meadow lands form tempting subj for the brush. Mr. Frederick Parker oxhibits several plctures and sketches which are very pleas- ing In character and good in technique, among them ‘‘Roman Theater at Arles” is the most conspicuous, It shows the re. mains of the old Roman ruins at that ploturesque and interesting French town, with its arched gateways and mold covered walls. “A Figure, ting a_ Moorish woman in native costume, posed with arms clasped behind her head, in a tall grass, ‘“The Tra both good sketches done characteristic style, Mr. B. 8.

The program is one of rare excellence, and musical people have a treat in store for them, Mme. Muentefering's recitals always attract- ing large audiences. Mary’ Moszkowski Mrs, stringed quintet.) There Is much to.be said in praise of the operiing recital given by the musical section of tho Woman's club I the club rooms Mon- day afternoon, for, taken in Its entirety, the program was one of decided merit and de- served the hearty, nay enthusiastic reception accorded it from nearly' 300 women, with a score or S0 of men, wWho were privil bear the soloists. Mrs. J. R. Buchanan, the pdesident of the section, although suffering from a cold, gave a very gracious little talk along musical lines in explanation of what had been the alm and object of the section last year, and outlined in a degree what would be the effort of the department dur- Ing the season inaugurated last Monday. In speaking of chamber music, which was chosen for illustration at this recital, Mrs. Buchanan stated that chamier music was “‘the mame applied to all that class of music which is especiaily fitted for performances in 4 room as distinguished from concert, dra- matic or ecclesiastical music, or such other kinds as require many performers, and large spaces for large volumes of sound.”” She dis- cussed the earlier forms of composition for strings, and then took up Corelli, the com- poser chosen for illustration. From Grove's history she read a sketch of Corelli, who was born in 1858 at Fusignano Imola. In 1681 he settled at Rome, where he published his first work, a set of twelys sonatas. Later he was taken up by Cardinal Ottoboni, an enthusiastic lover of the arts, and under the patronage of this eminent churchman Corelli gave to the world some of the daintlest com- positions ever written. *‘Corelli,”” sald Mrs. Buchanan, “has a double claim to a promi- nent place in history as a great violinist, who laid a firm foundation for all future develop- ment of technique and pure style of playing, and was a composer who materially advanced the progress of composition.” Following the instructive paper, Mme. Muentifering,' Mr. Butler and Mr. Letovsky gave three (lustrations of Corelli's style of composition, the Larabande, Qigue and votte, all beautifully written, the Lara- bande being particularly well played by the three artists. Mme. Muentefering followed with three plano numbers, the “Spring Song,” of Mendelssohn, the “Black Keyetude," as it is called by Chopin, and the “Impromptu in flat,”” by the same composer, which since Trilby” gave so much prominence to the composition, will now figure in almost every program. Mme. Muentefering was in_splen- did form, and played with all the art of which she Is mistress these widely contrasted num- bers, winning a deserved encore at the end Mra. Cottoa, who comes back to the musical life of Omaha each season after a summer spent with famous eastern - teachers was nover heard to better advantage in two songs, “Ah, What Tortures,” by Paderewski, and “Pollie Willis,” by Dr. Arne, which has been sung by Emma Eames with so much success. Both songs were faultlessly ren- dered, Mrs. Cotton's voice showing little wear, her high tones being full and clear, while her middle register was a delight to listen to. For an encore she gave “What I Have,”” by Bohn, a dainty bit of composition new to Omaha people. Then came the distinct event of the after- noon, the premiere of Dr. Charles Baetens' new concerto in D major, dedicated to and played by his pupil, Mr. Herbert Butler, Mr. Martin Cahn accompanist. The composi- tion shows careful and conseientious study, somewhat conventional in form and sug- gostive in the opening bars of Rubenstein, but beautifully worked out, strongly phrased and tochnically, quite difficult. It is undoubt- edly Dr. Baetens' strongest effort in com- position, and is, in every sense, worthy of the composer, who enjoys the largest measure of respect in this community. It was hard, however, to judge of the orchestration, the piano score mot being sufficient to give ome a clear idea of its balance, but Mr. Cahn played with skill and judgment. Mr. But- ler received many compliments for his very scholarly rendition of the concerto of his master. He played the difficult passages with ease and fine ability, although at times he scemed to lose the governing theme in the care ho bestowed .upon the rums. But his was a personal triwmph, and he made a step forward through, his work of Monday that, taken advantage. of, will land him among the 'big wigs' of the violin. Dr, Baetens was called for and responded in & few happy words, saylng that much of the credit of the composition was due the in- telligent manner which marked its interpre- tation. Mrs. Cotton appeared, for a second time, sang a “Gomez Pollacco,” in & highly artis- tio manner, her colgrature work belng clean cut and very captivatiig. The afternoon was brought to a close by the rendition of the Rubensteln trio in B flat, Mme. Muentefering at the plano, Mr. Herbert Butler violin and Mr. Letovsky 'cello. 'The trio is exceedingly | long, at best, and possibly should have in- augurated the program instead of closing it, but even with its length, the players held their audience until the finale, rounding out a perfect afternoon. Mr. Joseph Gahm has (nterested himself in securing Senor Carlos Sobrino and M Sobrino for a concert at the Young Men's Christian assoclation hall Wedneday evening, November 21. Mr. Gahm received a tele- gram _from Senor Sobrino yesterday, stating that his wife had just cabled him that she would sall November 6 on the steamer Al- ler, of the North German Lloyd line, for America, and would join her husband in Chi- cago, where Senor Sobrino is booked for a concert previous to the one in this city, The coming of Senor Sobrino and his talented Mendelssohn | NOW OR trimmed $12—tomorrow $5.

Senor Sobrino is ome of the very greatest planists now concertizing, having played with Sarosate over South America and Cuba, had the honor of playing before the court of Spain, and gave a joint concert with Rubenstein while in Europe. Next to Pader- ewski and Scharwenka, no artist of the pres- ent day can excel Sobrino, and as he is in the full flush of his ability, being but 33 years of age, his coming ought to arouse great enthusiasm among the musical public. Mme. Bianchi Sobrino was formerly prima donna with the Bostonians, and comes from Europe with laurels and enconiums enough to turn any one’s head. Otto Floerscheim, the famous_critic of the Musical Courier, tele- graphed his journal from Berlin last woek as follows: Another singer, also a pupil of Lilll Leh- mann, and the wife of an old friend of mine, is having immense success on this side. This is Mrs. Carlos Sobrino, the wife of the planist. ‘She sang for me “Agathe's” great aria from “Der Freischutz,” and I was much impressed by her fine musical delfvery and flexible as well as sonorous soprano volce. She is engaged for the first Dusseldor{ Man- nergesang Verein's concert this season, when, under C. Steinhauer’s direction, she will sing in the “Loreley” finale and Max Bruch's “‘Feuerkreuz."

PADDOCK AND WILLIAMS HOT. Board of County Commissioners Adds Ex- cltement to Its Business, County Commissioners Paddock, Jenkins and Williams had a lively tilt at the meet- ing yesterday afternoon over the appointment of a paving inspector for the southwestern county road which is now being built. The troublo started over a resolution appointing George McBride as inspector. An amend- ment was made to strike out McBride's name and insert that of Herman Russig, and then Commissioner Willlams moved that the whole matter lay over for a week. Paddock insisted that it be settled then and urged that the work was mow in progress and the county needed an inspector to guard Its interests and see that the work was completed as stipulated in the contract. He intimated that there was a combination formed to pre- vent the appointment just now and that an attempt might be made to appoint some one who would be favorablo to the contractors. Willilams took exceptions to these remarks and said that he was not afrald, nor would he be bulldozed in the matter by Paddock even if he did prefix the title of major to his name. Ho said that he did not propose to be driven into votiog for any one just then. Paddock politely fntimated that Williams was a falsifier, and for a few minutes the chairman was hard put to it to preserve order and decorum. The commissioner was not to be stopped and as his ire increased he charged the chairman of the commission- ers with using partiality and favoring those who were in the majority. Chairman Sten- berg subsided and Paddock proceeded to de- nounce his colleague and told Willlams that he was responsible for the expenditure of the $150,000 voted for paving by the county and that he would be held accountable for every cent of it, He remarked that Wil- llams was not in favor of the material adopted by the whole board and now as chairman of the committee on roads he was trying to shift the responsibility on to the other members. He denounced the fight against the appointment of an inspector as a political job. Jenkins then declared that he would vote for no one but McBride, and denied that he had gone back on his pledges to Paddock as had been charged. Paddock then remarked that he thought Willlams had more than an official interest in the matter, and in the sake of peace the latter refused (o respond. By a vote of 3 to 2 the subject was laid over until tho next meeting. The job is worth $4 per day to the appointee. The remainder of the session was quite tame. Bills amounting to $5,596.91 were al- lowed on the regular appropriation list and transportation was ordered furnished to Charles Smith, an insane man, to Minne- apolis.

NEW YORK, Nov. 3—Willlam Willls, who was appointed receiver of the Com- merclal Alllance Insurance company a few days ago, moved before Justice Barrett of the United States court today that he be relleved from the trust and that some other recelver be appointed. He says the affairs of Delancy, | the company are in a deplorable condition and there s hardly money enough to pay tha sts of the administration. He says that aside from the $100,000 deposited with the insurance department, according to law, the asscts consist of about 810,000 in cash and two parcels of real estate, some abandone factory sites of little valie and a plece of property at Washington, which s In Iiga- tion.

The many romantle incidents which have occurred as results of meeting at the World's falr last summer have a peer in the follow- ing case reported a few days ago by Kansas City papers, both of the interested parties being well known in this eity: A wooing begun [n the California building at the World's fair ended Saturday, October 20, by a marriage In Judge Scarrett's chambers, The bride and groom were separated almost the distance between the oceans, but their love for one another did not allow a matter of a few thousand miles to interfere with their plans. The man was Thomas Capek, a lawyer of Wyley avenue, Pittshu ex-member of the Nebraska legislature from an Omaha district. The woman was Miss Anna Vostrofsky of San Jose, Cal. Lawyer Capek visited the World's fair during its height. He chanced to get into the Cali- fornia bullding and was Inspecting the frult exhibit when he noticed at his elbow & petite young woman with an elderly man, who might have been her father. In the democratic fashion that acquaintances were made at the fair a conversation was struck up and they were soon discussing the ex- hibits. The elderly man introduced himself as a Mr. Vostrofsky of San Jose, Cal., and formally made Mr. Capek acquainted with his companion, who proved to be his daughter. Lawyer Capek was glad to have some one to see the sights of the falr with him and together he and Miss Vostrofsky “did” the Midway Plajsance. When he lefi her she told him where they were staying and invited him to visit her. He did so and again they saw the fair fogether. A few days later Miss Vostrofsky went away to her home in California and not long mft Mr. Capek departed for his home in Pitts- burg Letters passed between the two and It wag not long before Lawyer Capek knew he loved his World's fair acquaintance. In due time he proposed marriage and was accepted, The next in order was to arrange for the redding. This was a perplexing task, ms it would be necessary for Mr. Capek to elther €0 to San Jose or Miss Vostrofsky to Pitts- burg. Finally they compromised by agree- ing to meet at Kansas City, which belng midway between the two poinfs was accessi- ble to both. Last Tuesday Mr, Capek arrived in Kansas City and waited for his bride to reach Kansas City. Friday night she came and they arranged to be married Saturday, Both of them are Unitarians, and they d cided to bave a circuit judge perform the ceremony, Judge Scarrett acting in the ca- pacity of “binder.” Mr. and Mrs, Capek are staying at the Cordova. They will leave Kansas City tonight for Pittsburg, Mr. Thomas Capek, the groom, is a well known figure to Bohemians in the United States, having edited for some time The Bohemlan Voice at Omaha, Neb., his former home, Ho was a member of the legislature four | years ago and was democratic candidate for L police judge in & year ago. 1891, He left Omaha about e Robbers Couldn’t Crack the Safe, KANBAS CITY, Nov. 3.—Robbers tried to sman-Sawyer bank at Inde- rly this morning.
