ROBBERY IN STERLING. ILLINOIS.
Forty Thousand Dollars stolen from the
mu..I.L...- II.a.... ~ Anl.hnEln

Forty Thousand Dollars stolen from the
Ranking House Of w. =. SRnborn.
The most daring and perhaps the largest rob
berry that ever occurred in this State was commit
ted at Sterling, Whiteside county, Illinois, Au-
gust 27. The office of w. A. Slnborn, banker,
was entered on Saturday night and forty thou
sand taken from his safe, about three thousand Of
which was in gold and silver, seventeen thousand
in legal-tCnder currency, and the balance in
United States bonds. The amount on deposit nc
the time was comparatively small, being about
onc-iouTth Of the amount taken, the balance
being Mr. SanbOrns private funds. including
many valuable papers.
The safe was one of Herring & Co.'S make and
was purchased of them 10y MFR. Sanboru but
short time sinCe with the assurance from them
that it was one of their best burglar-prODf. The
safe was opened by driving the point Of pick
axe behind the plate covering thc lock, and then,
by the use of a Jimmy and O.her tools the lock
was tom out of the SAFE The inside burglar
chest extended the full width OF the safe, aud
was constructed of five thickneSses of alternate
steel and iron plates. This, however, offered
less resistance than the outside of the safe, as
the lock was forced with apparently little effort.
The robbery was committed on Saturday night,
and as IL was not discovered until Sunday even
ing the rascals had long start of the detectives,
who set about ferrcting out the matter imme-
diately on its discovery. This seems 10 he Il
particularly unfortunate case, as Mr.. Sanborn
had lust completed a fine banking house into
which he was about 10 move In a few days.
1t is not improbable that this is the same
"Can9" that robbed the safe Of Mcssrs Truttt q
Jack, Chillicothc, Peoria county, about three
weeks since, of $4,000 Theirs was a Durycl &
Forsyth safe with steel plate chest inside, sup
! posed TO be burglar proof with a Munger
patent lock.
| As the bes. detectives in the West are making
up this case, II is to be hoped that this dcspe-
| rate gang may be soon caught and caScd.-Cht'

SHERIDAN.


The Rebel army which Sheridan on Monday
defeated and sent "whirling through Winches-
ter" he again attacked near Strasburg on Thurs
day, again defeated and this time, also has sent
il whiring up the valley, disorglnlzed beaten to
pieces, and only saved by darkness from total
destruction. Early made his stand at the strong
est point in the Shenandoah valley, and down the
road he is now hurled can find no ground TO fight
on till he comes to the broken country beyond
Hauisonburg by which time he will seemingly
have no army TO fight with.
If there is any point at which he could even
delay the swifneSs Of Sheridan's pursuit, it
would be where the great turnpike, that reaches
up the valley, crosses the shenandoah just above
Mount Jackson; but at this moment il is worse
than hopeless lfOr him 10 attempt stand there.
Far more dangerous to him than the victorious
army which presses on his rear is the powerful
force of cavalry which is turning the flank Of his

attacked in the rear, and its retrea, as an army
utterly cut Off.
Nov, to 80 back moment for the hurry Of
Sheridan's movements has carried us already
beyond his last victory.
The map which We print this morning shows
clearly enough the scene OF the battle and the
resulting positions. Just below Suasburg the
north fork of the Shenandoah river bends at q
right angle. On the right bank the Massanutton
mountains come steepy down to the rivers
brink. They are wooded and utterly impossible.
Early's right flank rested against the river thus
protected the river itself 40 that point running
swift and deep; so that by river and mountain
together his flank was perfectly covered. Across
