Recently a band of lx swooped down upon the First National Bank at Gallatin. Missouri, scene of some of the most dramatic sittrations in the lives of Jess James and his contemporary bandit.

In 1869. they pulled I a bank robbery there, shooting- their way ont through the enci-cling-eitlrenshlp. Not many days aga almost a ! counterpart of the scene was enacted when the twentieth century bandit gang: dynamited the bank, wrecking It, and with revolvers ftettght their way to safety, with It. 600 of the bank's money garbbed from tb b'o"T jmfe.

MYSTERY

i time of bis arrest and It was gen

erally accepted by authorities of two counties that the killing: occurred on that nigbt. Arrest f two men and two woMen under fltpieion was expected momentarily. Chief of Jollce Elmer Cannon was of the opinion that robbery was not motive for the crime in as much as a tJ,006 diamond necklace in a bureau drawer was undisturbed, although six diamond rlog-s said to have been In a drawed were not found. Two diamond ear ring In the lobes of Mrs. Shaffer's ears were unmolested. A 700 diamond was missing from Shaffer's finger where he always wore It. Statement made by Leo Huffstlckltr, a-d three, who spent a lonely vigil In the Shaffer home with the s'ain woman and dog for company, that woman came into the house and gave him Jelly is believed by polled but how any woman could have been so unfeelingas to leave a child of that age with absolutely no food or water and unprotected from biting eold is practically unbelievable, prosecuting attorney Jeffery said. E. CHICAGO IS SOLID FINANCIALLY Financially the city f East Chicago Is a aolld as the rock of Gib raltan Reports from the office of City Comptroller H. A. Parks show that there will be approximately $239 00 in cash on hand in the city treasury, including- the park fund, at the close of December 21. 1923-. The to tal Indebtedness at tha end of this year will be $73808-. All told the city's operating; ex penses for the year 1922 will aggregate nearly 643,000-. This amount Includes the maintenance of the city parks and their department payroll of $103,000. To this total of expenditures Is to be added $27,000, amount paid on public debts. Before the close of the year De puty Comptroller Pltsele estimates that tba city will have collected $11,000 In license fees. Interest received on bank deposits from the geperal fund for the year will in crease these receipts by more than $5,000. Another $3,000 Is to be included In these columns from the insurance money received when the city incinerator was destroyed by fire. Paying; bills and clearing: away the wreckage left by the former ad ministration has been the stum bling block and a hard row to hoe for the finance department of the city this year. Clear sailing- in this department Is predicted by Comptroller Parks for 1923. With a 7S.5 cent rate on a $34,000,000 valuation, increased by the regular fees and tho additional licenses to be assessed against commercially operated vehicles next year, he says that the city will again be brought back to a firm financial basis.
