Shot While Attempting to Rob Bank.
RoLLA, Mo, March 23.-One of the
boldest attempts at bank robbing IN the
history OF Missouri occurred in this
citv this morning at about o'clock,
which resulted in the death OF the dar'
ing burglar, Pat Ebert. He arrived in
ROlls from Kansas, ostensib!y looking
Tor location to open up a saloon and
taking up a boarding house near the Ma
tional bank OF Rolla. His suspicious con-
duct attracted the attention OF the officers
Of the bank, who called TO their aid Hank
Devins, city marshal, VINO did his duty
nObly. Upon investigation It was dis
covered the burglar had gained access
to a vacant building adjoining the bank,
and for three nights had been unmO-
Tested in his desperate effort to tunnel
70 the vault. On the fourth night, just
as he had made an entrance TO the
yault, Deyins and posse from a sig.
nal given by the cashier, who was
sacreted in the bank, surrounded
the building and attempted his
capture alive, but Ebert, who preferred
death 10 arrest, with dagger in hand
made desperate effort to- escape, aud
was shot down in his tracks. He lived
one hour after being shot, but would re-
veal nothing. The only words he ut.
tered were: "You have got me boys"
The Coroners jury rendered a verdict
of justiisble homicide. Marshal Devins
is entitled great benefit for the bravery
he displayed in entering the dark cellar
to make the arrest. Whether Ebert had
confederates to assist him in his daring
exploit could not be ascertained, but 1t
