BATTLE WITH BANK ROBBERS Men Believed to Have Robbed the Burrton, Kangas Bank Uapured, IS BADLY WOUNDED ONE OF THEM fttle Money in Fo 'm and They Say T Were Never in Town of Burton. BURRTON, Kan,, Oct. 24.—After a deter- mined chase and an exchange of shots, fiv men who it is believed robbed the Burton bank on Thursday were captured last night on an island in the Arkansas river, fifteen miles from Murrton, and lodged in \ae Newton Jail They gave thelr names as James Bell, aged 35; George Olson, 28; E. H. Johnston, 3, who was severely wounded; Thomas White, 24, and Frank Harwood, 2. Johnston is badly wounded, being shot in the heud, breast, arms and legs with No. 4 shot. The men declare they were never in Burrton, but W. L Daly, & merchant of Burrton, identi- fles them as the men who came to his store Thursday evening. The bandits had only $30 in their possesslon when searched Parties are now golng over the trail look- ing for the money which ls supposed to have been bured. Yestorday, In a fight between two of the pursuers and three of the robbers, Harry Westmascotte, who was carrying a double- barreled shotgun, fired at the men and, in addition to wounding one, knocked a re- volver from his hand. Friday afterneon 150 citizens formed at this point, and fol- lowing a trail of blood located the robbers in a wooded island in the Arkansas river! A party of thirty heavily armed men, with the mssistant cashier of the bank, E. E. Shive, then proceeded to wade across while ths rest of the pursuers covered the lsland with guns and revolvers. Seeing the over- y whelming odds against them the robbers waved a white handkerchief and crawled from the sand pits they had dug and sur- Great 2 Traps o3t A Ligt Dray or Stake Wagon 6 Family Carrlages, 6 .Phaetons Good Harness Values 18th and Harne LEGAL NOTICE.

It is of the aspirants to the presidency and board membership which one hears most, however, and the woman who Interests herself to the extent of watching what is going on cannot be sur- prised at the developments promised at the Bt. Louls biennial next year. There can be no doubt that Mrs. Dimies T. 8. Denison has strengthened her popularity among western club women by her recent visit among them. Such contact is alwayd conducive to personal interest that is, in the main, llable to be more favorable than otherwise. This s certainly true in Mrs, Denison's case, for with one year of her term as president closed, with so muéh accomplished, and standing to her credit a year of tactful administration of the affairs of the General Federation while acting president during the absence abroad of her predecessor, Mrs. Lowe, she is gen- erally recognized as well qualified to fill the office that is hers, and clubdom is only waiting to see her preside over a blennial before committing itself regarding her re- clection. With her wide personal ac- quaintance with the clubs of almost every state, Mrs. Ribert Burdette of California, first vice president, is regarded by many as Mrs. Denison's most Ifkely successor, but with a great many others this very acquaintance will be Mrs. Burdette's greatest obstacle to succession to the presidency, as her extensive visiting among clubs is looked upon as self-advertisement that has prejudiced many against her. In spite of her persistent and almost sensa- tlonal refusal of the presidency at the Los Angeles biennial, Mrs. Sarah Platt Decker of Denver is still the cholce of a host of women, east, west, north and south, and would be a formidable opponent for any woman in the General Foderation, if she should favorably consider accepting the office. But the woman who Is looked upon as the most likely candidate, should Mrs. Denison retire after her first term, or even at the close of the second term, Is Mrs. Phillip Moore of St. Louls. Mrs. Moore, as chairman of the local biennial board, will naturally be very much in evidence during the blennial next May, and upon her in a large degree has fallen the responsibility of the undertaking by the St. Louls women. As president of the Wednesday club, the influential club of 8t. Louls, and also presi- dont of the Missourl Federation, Mrs. Moore is among the foremost women of her own state, and at the Los Angeles biennial last year came prominently before the convention in the Interest of the proposed Hall of Philanthropy, as chalrman of the committes for the permanent memorial to the Loulsiana Purchase. Her promi- nence in a hostess' position will add to her strength as a candidate for the presi- dency. And, last but by no means least, there is the woman of whom one hears little In this connection, but who has had a consplcuous and very responsible part In the last two blennlals, Mrs. Emma Fox of Detroft, second vice president of the General Federation, and for two terms recording secretary. While it was Mrs. Rebocea Douglas Lowe, as president, who recelved the credit for the conduct of those two trying meetings, when reorgan- ization and the color question came before the convention, It is known now ‘that It was the quick judgment and parliamentary skill of Mrs. Fox that kept the convention oft the rocks at Milwaukee and again at Los Angeles, for it was she who supplied the decision while Mrs. Lowe, to gain time, asked for a repetition of the ques- tion, the motion or whatever it happened to be. It is confidently predicted by many women of the east that Mrs. Fox will re- celve a stronger support from that section than any other women at the close of Mrs. Denison’s term. Dr. W. O. Henry will address this after- noon's gospel meeting of the Young ‘Women's Christian association, his subject to be ‘“The Holy Lands.” This address was to have been made last week, but the date was changed on account of other spe- clal evangelistic services. The association Bible classes opensd last week with sixty-four members. The educational committee announces a change in the date of the first number of the entertainment course. Dr. White's lec- ture will be given Monday evening, No- vember 23, instead of the 16th, as an- nounced. November 14 and 15 have been announced as the dates for the state convention of Young Women's Christian associations, which will be held at York. About sixty young women enjoyed the Monday evening rally at the gymnasium, the gymnasium committee serving refresh- ments after the game, concluding a very enjoyable evening. The gymnasium girls will give a mask party Mondey evening, November 2. The gymnasium «nd sewing classes will begin at South Branch this week, the Bible classes and Sunshine club having al- ready resumed their meetings. The exten- slon committee has been espectally active among the factories this fall, and a num- ber of speakers have been taken to talk to the young women, whose noon hour will not admit of their coming to the associa- tion rooms for the noon meetings. Monday Mr. J. H. McConnell, who has been singing in the eity, conducted services at M. E. Smith's, and Tuesday noon Dr. Waiton addressed the young women at Byrne- Hammer's. He was assisted by Mr. und Mrs. Lowe. The suffragists of Pawnée county will hold a county convention at Table Rock Thursday and Friday of this week, and Saturday \Nemaha county will hold a con- vention at Peru. Mrs. Frank Young, state president, and Miss Gregg will be among the speakers. 3 Mrs. W. W. Keysor of St. Louls, ex- president of the Omaha Woman's club, is expected Wednesday and will spend several days in the city. On Thursday she will be the guest of the art department at the morning meeting, which will be followed by & buffet luncheon in her honor. On Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock Mrs. Key- sor will deliver an art lecture at the First Congregational church, the proceeds to go to the art department. -\ McCREW 72\ SPECIALIST.

Toward evening TOMMURRAY MISUNDERST00D Bome Traits of His Oharacter Outlined by One Who Knew Him. JUDGE SLABAUGH HONORS THE PIONEER His Reticence the Result of Hia Sad Experience with Men Who Were Rent on De- ceiving Him, In speaking of Thomas Murray the other day Judge Slabaugh said: “A blography of the ploneers of Omahd would be a valuable contribution to the history of the city. It would be the true history of its early days. 1 should think that an annual reunfon of the pioneers, in which would be presented and preserved historical data, would be very pleasant for them and profitable for us all. From what we have seen of these persons In late years even with the help and inspiration which they have afforded us, we are not able to judge of what they endured and of the €ood that they accomplished in the making of our city and the conquering of the new country, . “The passing of Thomas Murray sug- gests an illustration of that kind. Tom Murray was misunderstood by persons gen- erally. You did not know him until you had fully gained his confidence, and-that was not an easy task, for he had been imposed upon 0 often that he became sus- plelous of all strangers, and, indeed, all but tried friends; but when once you had galned his confidence no truer friend could be found. I was his attorney during the hard times—the times that tried him as never before—the times that swept the fortunes of so many, many men away, and which ultimately, by discouragement and the train of ills that follow in its wake, ended so many lives. 1 have known him intimately since and I found him possessed of many commendablo traits. Of all I admired the most his courage and fortitude and bearing after his wealth had been taken from him. Indeed, his mode of living did not have to change—but it was the same Tom Murray—the same horse and wagon—the same cutward appearance, and from his general bearing you would never have known that misfortune had met him In the way £0 near the end of the road. A quality well worth emulation. Honest and Mercitul, “I found him perfectly honest and more #inned against that sinning. Many a note and account against others he refused to sue and it became outlawed. Rather than worry another he would himself suffer. ‘“‘Most of his l'tigation was In defense of claims, often without foundation, yet had to be defended. For instance, some worth- less fellow whose services were worth about 2 cents a day would seek a shelter at his house, and Mr. Murray would take him in, with the understanding that he was to werk for his board and lodging, or was to be paid In tobacco or the like, and such person would hang around for months or years and then demand perhaps §2 a day as rea- sonable value of services while there. Mr. Murray had to admit the time he was there and that now and then he did something, and would then have to assume the burden of proof showing that he was to work for baard and lodging or for tobacco; and with Murray rich, and a trial before a jury and in the court house where the lawyer would point out to the jury through the window Murray's dilapidated bufldings—well, Mur- ray generally had to pay. “1 found him prompt in the payment of every debt which he believed was just. I never waited an hour for my pay. And I never heard him say an abusive word about any man, so far as I recall. He seemed to be constantly on the defensive. Although a man of good judgement and Quick to act, apparently he veiied too much upon too many of his old-time friends who had different Ideas, often causing con- fusion, often inaction, on his part. His Greatest Mo ut, “In the monument of enterprise to the memory of Murray, that pride of his life | that he loved and admired so intensely, th: | Murray hotel, and which, with the hard times, brought him to his knees, was an example. During the World's fair the manuger went to Chicago, leaving Murray a8 manager. Offers were numerous (rom competent hotel men over the country to lease It, but he felt that none were good enough for the Murray. He would con- sider one man, and it being so important to him, he would start on a tour of his friencs and was always able to find one or more who would advise against the proposition. A unanimous vote he seemed to want. He finally, and at & loss, ran it himself; but nothing was too good to be found on the tables of the Murray. It being his main revenue-bearing property, did not prevent foreclosure, and a blanket mortgage on all he had was finally asked as the only alter- native, and then the shadows began to deepen. And yet with all his love for the hotel he preferred life in the hut in which place his early struggles and hardships and customs had made him most content. “I will never forget one incident in which his peculiarity of second-hand purchasing resulted In a good joke on me. I had just won for him In a blackmall case, and he was so happy that he presented me with what 1 supposed to be a fresh box of clgars. 1 have mever been an expert on cigars—a two-fur suits me about as well as a Z-cent-stralght. I was Just about to be married, and was expecting a would-be brother-in-law, an expert on cigars, from Missouri. I would open a fresh box to him. He came; but he couldn’t say ‘Venl, vidi, viel,' because they were as near weeds as tobaceo could be, and a twenty-horse power engine could not get smoke through them! I learned later, and nearly every time I meet my brother-in-law I learn that the cigars were wrapped too tight. Mr. Murray told me later that he supposed they were all right, and I know he did, as he knew tobacco about as well as I did. I now look mainly to the drawing capacity of the clgar. His Worst Side Out. “Every place may have its eccentric man, but many of the stories told of Mr. Murray are fiction. He measured to others just what he promised. Remarkably true to his word he was, and he demanded exactness {and drop into the bolling stew. on the part of others, and as often did not get it, he demurred, and hence arose what apparently seemed & delinquency on his part. “His worst side was out. Outward ap- pearances invited the criticism, so much unjust, that gave a reputation unwar- ranted. “In his life there are many lessons we can learn with profit to ourselves, and in his death we are reminded that it is easy to pass unjust judgment, and that en. conlums and praise rather than criticism te the living will make the burtien lighter, the life happier and the way more easy to travel.” HONORS MEXICAN MINISTER Made Grand Oficer of Leglo: (Copyright, 133, by Press Publishing Co.)
