each other with unmoved faces and steady
gaip upon the weapons which they held at
their sides. Like statues they stood await ng
the signal to fire, but the word had scarcely es-
capped ifrom the seconds mouth when John
Nunley's pistol rang out with sharp report
and his nephew fell to the ground before he
could discharge his weapon. The young man
was found to be shot in the mouth, and his
physicians declare that the wound is mortal

Money.
NoRToNvILLE, Kan, May 31.-Three mask
ed men last night entered the store of McCar-
thy 4 Hogson in which at the time were Nc
Carthy, one clerk, two ladies and two little
girls. The robbers drew revolvers and COM
manded the inmates to keep quiet. One of the
thieves proceeded to the safe, one took his post
at the door, and the third kept guard over the
occupants. While the robbers were thus occu-
pied two of the clerks who had been out return
ed and were at once taken in charge by the
sentinel at the door. The safe contained be-
tween 200 and 1000 cash, and this the
robbers carried off. An iron box in the safe con-
tanned about $1,000, but the robbers failed to
affect an entrance into this.
They worked silently and quickly and after
securing the money walked backward out of
the store, warning the occupants not to look
outside for an hour or they would be shot. Gain
ing the street the robbers rode off toward the
South. Up to the present time no trace of
them has been discovered
