BANK ROBBER.

Resistance and Death.
The description given by the citi-
zens of Russellville of the two daring
freebooters who kept the citizens at
bay while others of the band robbed
the bank, not only enabled detective
Bligh, of Louisville, to identify one of
them in the person of Geo. W., alias
Jack Sheperd, now imprisoned in
Louisville, but to ascertain that the
other one was the latter's cousin, Oil
yer Shepard, who had returned i'm
mediately after the robbery to his
home in Jackson county, Missouri
Officer Bligh then forwarded to the
bankers and police of that section a
circular describing the person, and in
forming them that, from information
he had obtained in working up the
Russellville affair, he (Bligh) was sat
isfied that Shepherd had been con-

18th:
Many of our readers saw the ac-
count of the bold and daring robbery
of the bank at Russellville, KY, some
two or three weeks ago. The act was
committed so publicly that many of
the citizens who witnessed it were en-
abled to give an accurate description of
the perpetrators. On Friday, Sd inst,
Deputy Sheriff Strobe received doc
ument containing description of one
who was engaged in the robbery,
which said description suited Oliver
Shepherd, who had been absent from
his home, in Lees Summit, in this
county, for several weeks. Mr.. Strobe
learned that Shepherd returned home
that. day, and, haYipg a writ Tor his
