HIT HIM IN TUB Btt ■ 1 r* *' Fleeing Bank Robber Brought Down by Cashier Calen’s Bullet. KILLED THEN BY COMRADES. Singular Conduct of Kania* Iteaperadoea aa a Mean* of Preventing Their Own Hxpoaure—Their Pal’a Body Perforated After Falling From Hla Horae—Train Held Vp—Other Crimea. Sauna, Kan., Nov. 13.—Three masked robbers attempted to hold up the bank at Sylvan Grove, Kan., 40 miles west of here, yesterday, and one of their number met death in an unusually tragic manner. He was shot by Cashier John Calen of the bank and when in a dying condition was perforated with bullets *by his own comrades to save themselves from exposure. The men rode into town on fast horses. They were finely mounted and heavily armed. Their masked faces and flying steeds attracted everybody’s attention, but they wasted no time in getting to work. They pulled their horses up with a jerk in front of the bank, entered and ordered hands up. The cashier gave up the money on the counter and the bandits were soon riding away. The moment the robbers were out of the building the cashier secured his gun and opened fire as they were galloping away. One bullet lodged in the back of one of the fleeing men. He staggered in his saddle for a moment, but nerving himself he kept his seat and galloped on. He was too badly wounded, however, to continue, and before he had gone a quarter of a mile his body swayed to and fro and finally he fell heavily to the ground. His two comrades pulled in their horses and riding up to the prostrate man deliberately fired several shots into his body and dashed away. When picked up the deserted outlaw was dead and could tell no tales. Nobody knew him and nothing to identify him by was on his person. It is believed that his companions were a scattered portion of the Cook gang. The bank officials are keeking quiet the amount of booty. MISSOUSI HOLD-FF. Several Hundred Dollars Secured by Two Masked Men. Monette, Mo., Nov. 13.—Frisco passenger train No. 1, due here at 8 o’clock last night, was held up four milas east of Monette by two masked men and the express car robbed. The amount secured is not known, but it is several hundred dollars, including all local money between Springfield and this place.. The hold-up was of the characteristic style, although car with dynamite in the hope of getting into the large safe. After securing their booty, the robbers started westward. No horses were seen, although it is quite certain they had animals at a convenient distance. The only disguise worn was a white handkerchief over the face with holes cut for the eyes. Woihen and children were panic stricken and men hastily concealed watches and money. Passengers took refuge under seats, beliind doors, and ■ some retired to the Pullman sleepers to the rear of the train. After 15 minutes of terrible suspense at the muzzle of a gun, the engineer and fireman were riiarched to the cab of the engine and commanded to move on. — Messenger Chapman succeeded in hiding all the money save S2OO in currency, which he handed over to the robbers. The train pulled into Monette 20 minutes late and the news spread like wildfire. A posse was formed, but for want of a leader failed to pursue the bandits. DELIRIOUS CARPENTER.

IW AND BRIBERY. Federal Brand Inquire Into His Allegations. HE STATES HIS CASE AGAIN. Five Men Who Were Willing to Fay For the Place as Indianapolis Surveyor of the Port .-Populists and Prohibitionists In the Recent Election—General News of the State. Indianapolis, Nov. 13.—There is a possibility that Mr. Bynum’s charges of attempts to bribe him with relation to the appointment of a surveyor of the local port will be investigated by the federal grand jury. A Washington dispatch says he has made this assertion: “The statement I made relative to the efforts to secure my indorsement for the office of surveyor of the port of Indianapolis by corrupt offers was not correctly reported hi every particular. What I said was (1) that one applicant had made an offer in writing to pay me 20 per cent of the salary of the office if I would secure his appointment; (2) that another verbally made a similar proposition; (3) that indirectly another had intimated that he would pay $5,000 in cash if he should be appointed; (4) that I had, upon my return home during the campaign, been told by a credible person that another person had drawn out of the bank a large sum and stated that he was going to Washington to secure the position, and that the man who came nere went back without my indorsement. “The interview as published made me say that the person who was said to have drawn the money out of the bank offered the same to me. Tliifi was incorrect. I do not know who he was. A man came to Washington to see me about the office, talked about his great success in business and stated that if he could secure the position he would generously contribute to aid in campaigns, when I promptly informed him that my indorsement carried no other obligations than that the person who received it, if appointed, should faithfully and efficiently perform the duties. If this was the same man who is said to have come here with corrupt designs he made no further advances.” INDIANA RETURNS. Showing Made In Various Conntlea by Fopulixts and Prohibitionlsta. Indianapolis, Nov. 13.—The official vote in Indiana has not been fully reported to the secretary of state. About 25 counties have not made their returns. The figures already received show that; the official tabulation will change the estimated majority only slightly. In the counties thus far reported the Populists showed the greatest strength in Marion county, where they cast 1,424 votes. They had 976 votes in Howard county, 753 in Jay county, 524 in Parke county and 1,315 in Vanderburg county. The .Populist vote se'ems to have been official Populist vote of 22,925. This would make the probable total in the state 30,566. The Prohibitionists in Marion county cast 512 votes. In Grant county they cast 493 votes. Outside of Marion, Grant seems to have been their greatest stronghold. Sixty-six counties gave 8,396 Prohibition votes, the probable vote in the state at this rate being 11,891. f Miners and Their Wages.
