The Mob-Murder at PIairyiew,

PLAINvIEw, Mimi, Jan. 27.-Last
Tuesday night. there Was, as near as
can be ascertained, about fifty maske ID
men, who came TO the Plainview hotel
where Frank Hathaway, the murderer OF
Miss Nellie Slayton, was confined
Some came by teams and some on horse
back. Dividing into two parties. some
cautiously entered the hotel by some
unknown way, and placing themselves
in the main hall up stairs, while Others
placed themselves at the back entrance
oftue house where there are stairs lead
ing TO the main nall, they then at sig
nal given broke open the door with an
axe aud, entering the hall. made a
grand rush tor, as they supposed, the
room occupied by young Hathaway.
Instead they first entered the room &C
cupied by his parents.

and they, thinking she was in attend.
ance on her son, seized the old gentle.
man, father oil the young Hathaway.
They soon found out their mistake. now
ever. One OF the attendants Of Young
Hathaway, hearing the scream, slightly
opened the door OF his room, which ad-
joined the other, and was surprised to
discover the main hall packed with
masked men, who forced wide open
the door, overpowe-ed the attendants,

SoI5,DDO. vi course much OF this is not
negotiable, SO that ii is difficult to esti-
mate the real loss to the bank and de-
positors. The bank officers offer a re-
ward OF S25 900 for the return of the
property and conviction OF the burglars.
The loss falls comparatively light upon
the bank, the greater part of the secur;t-
les belonging to special depositors.
HOW THE ROBBERY WAS COMMITTED.
The robbers entered the house of the
cashier, bound, gagged and guarded for
hours seven people, They compel Ell

hour this morning. Cashier WhIttlesey.
when asked to give the combination to
the vault, tor the outer, inner aad cnes,
doors, gave them wrong ones, twice and
thrice, but the BURGERS wrote them
down and made him repeat them. OF
course they caught him il toe attempt
to mi,lead them. and the exhibition OF
Il pistol compelled hun 70 tell the truth,
though ne told them that four OF the
keys were Necessary to open the patent
lock, three OF which were at the houses OF
the other bank officers. At tour o'c.ocn

gagged and the burglars Withdrew TO
operate on the bank. Three hours after

lrom the window ; the whole party were
speedily liberated and the cashier, still
wearing the handouts, went down
10 the bank. A clever work
man soon after fitted key and all the
persons handcutted were released An
examination OF the bank showed the
crack nen had unlocked the outer door,
but were apparently baked by the safe
lock, lacking three OF the requisite four
keys. They tried the metal OF the d ,or
| with bars, and wrenched off two dials
| which served as an index for working
the combination. They were entirely
unmolested. the watch having gone
home. There is every indication that
six, and perhaps all, OF them lett on the
SIX O'Clock train. Five .of them had
tickets previously bought, and one paid
his fare. Many OF the appliances, it
was remarked, were home made. The

some with two tor the eyes. When the
robbers saw Whittlesey was watching

they blind folded him, but he observed
that one OF them was OF very command
ing stature. Two Of the robbers who
were lett to guard the prisoner at the
house took their departure in season to
catch the Springfield tg,in, At the lat

have provided the same punishment for
the warehouseman who receives wheat
and refuses TO grade it according to its
true character, as is already provided by
law for the warehouseman who mixes
interior wheat with wheat OF q higher
grade.
But it may be said, that our gradings
OF wheat will not be recognized outside
of our own state. Surely we have the
same right to ask Milwaukee to accept
our grades as she has to ask Us to accept
hers. The Milwaukee grades are es-
tablished by ring OF wheat dealers !;
ours would be prescribed by the authori-
ty of sovereign state. And if Milwau-
kee refused to recognize them, it would
tend to send our wheat crop by its nat
ural channel, via Duluth. to New York.

have we'll established, clearly defined
character.
But in our own state such measure
would create uniformity. In fact owe
| it to Hon. Francis r. Delano, of this
! city, to say that conversations have had
with him have largely melted me to
present this bill. He tells me that the
F.! great elevators OF which he is the head,
along the line of the st. T. & P. 4. R.,
are put to great trouble and annoyance by
the present system. The " heat received
by them as No. at Ltch6eld or Morris
is graded down to No. 2 when it reach
es Minneapolis. The bill l have intro
duced would remedy all this. The
wheat that was No. at Breckenridge
would be No at La Crescent.
1t may be said that a deputy commits
sioner IN u county would not protect all
the farmers, in all parts of that county,
from fraud and imposition. But tne
knowledge that there was some one in
the county to whom the farmer could APP
peal to enforce the penalties of the law
would 60 a great way to restrain the
dishonest warehouseman; while the
honest warehouseman could not object
to rule that was equally fair for all
men.
The present system tor the protection
of the people from false weights and
measures is of no value. My bill fur
Their provides that the deputy commits
sioners shall have chsrge OF weights and
measures in their respective counties.
This provision alone will, in my judy
meat, save the people hundreds OF thous-
ands OF dollars annually.
further provide that the State COM

upon that subject. We are all agreed

found near the postofce acting in what
was supposed to be q suspicious manner.

She learned that her husband intended to
meet 4 lady near the postoffice this evening;
that he had an engage ment with her to take
her TO q church near by, and that she MADE
m her mind to catch him. she could NOT
