Kansas Bank Attacked by a Gang OF
Armed Robbers, Who Shoot the Cashier
and President, but Get no Swag-A Posse
in Hot Pursuit-Their Victims Prominent
Stock Men,
HARPER, KAs May. 1.
4 bold, but unsuccessful, attempt
was made yesterday to rob the Medicine
Valley Bank at Medicine Lodge, thirty
five miles west of Harper. George Gep-
pert, Cashier, was instantly killed, and
E. w. Paine, President, was fatally
wounded.
Four men, armed with Winchesters and
six-shooters, rode up to the bank soon
after it opened. Two dismounted
and entered the. bank, and two held
the horses. The first two demanded
the money, which was refused.
They then fired upon Geppert and Paine,
with the result as above. City Marshal
Dunn opened on those outside, and the
citizens were around in q moment, and
running out opened fire on the robbers.
The two inside ran out, mounted their
horses and all left, returning the fire Of
the citizens.
Thirty men, well mounted and armed,
started in pursuit about ten minutes be.
hind the robbers and capture is almost
certain, as the country in southwest di-
rection, which the robbers took, is all
fenced with wire, which will effectually
cut off escape.
The robbers obtained no money, as no
time was give them after the shooting
began. One o. the gang is thought to be
wounded,
Mr.. Geppert was well-known mer.
chant and stockman, and Mr.. Paine was
the wealthiest and most extensively
known cattle man in the Southwest and
editor of the Inder. There is no cleW to
the identity of the robbers.

who believed the city had been visited by
an earthquake. It soon became known,
however, that the powder magazine at
San Antonio, on the opposite side of the

vana suffered severely. u.
TWO EXPLOSIONS.
LATER-The first explosion occurred
in the magazine of San Jose, not San AM
tonic, adjacent to the arsenal, in which
was stored large number of grenades
and shells. The force of the explosion
took the direction of the gas works, and
all the gas-holders of the Havana Gas
Light Company anu all but one Of those
of the old gas company are broken.
The second shock, heavier than the
first, was caused by the explosion of gas.
LOSS OF LIFE.
It is impossible yet to say how many
persons are killed or wounded. Several
bodies have already been found. 1t is
known there were in the magazine a de.
tachment oftWenty soldiers and an artil.
1ery officer, occupied for several days re-
moving powder. The Military Hospital,

Leap-Year Party.

The leaP-year party given by the
ladies of Silver Chy last Friday evening
proved a very enjoyable affair. Quite
a number of Virginia City. Gold Hill
and Dayton people were in attendance.
The music, which was furnished by the
Sulro band, was excellent-fully equal
to any that could have been procured
in Virginia City or Carson. At twelve
o'clock a supper was served which was
gotten up by the ladies'. and to which
ample justice was done by the hungry
dancers. After supper the crowd ad.
journed to the dance hall and continued
the festivities until late in the morning.
I, was an event that will long be pleas.
antly remembered by all who were in
attendance.

The Bulletin places in nomination
for Speaker of the Assembly DR.. G. I.
Leavitt, Of Lyon county. He is 4 man

would adorn the place. The Office is
an important one, and care should be

stock of the town, he, on the following
day, told the story as above related.
An unkind fellow though has given the
whole "business" away.
The few disgruntled Carsonites who
have never been able to appreciate the
actual greatness Of Senator Jones, owing
to their own lillipu,ian capacity, are
now grumbling because the Senator is
not in his seat to fight the Gold Bugs.
The fact is, anti-silver legislation has
not fairly begun; the movement in Con-
gress, SO far, is merely feeler Of the
sentiment upon that subject. That
fierce onslaught upon our principal in.
dustry will be made during the current
session Of Congress, there is no doubt;
but when. the moment for prompt action
arrives Senator Jones will be found in
his seat successfully battling for the
vital interests OF his constituents. He
will not allow the measure which earn.
ed for him universal fame as a pro.
found and logical thinker upon the sub
ject Of finance to 60 to the wall with
out throwing his intellectual and popu-
lar force in the breech to preserve it for
the Nations veal. The swapping ours
who have ever lurked at the Senator's
heels since he honored this State in the
United States Senate, can never make
me and others who have known him for
twenty years and more, believe aught
than that his course in the Senate has
and will continue to be one Of purity.
That he remains away from the scene
of public duty when the silver mining
industry is being attacked, to crafty
his Wall street friends, is a lie as in.
famous as it is ungenerous. A man
possessing the noble soul of Senator
Jones, who in periods of great prosper.
| ity seeks his less fortunate friends and
substantially proves to them that in
refutation Of the general belief there is
much genial warmth in this sphere, is
net one whose keen sense of honor and
integrity permits himself to be controll.
ed by any one or number Of men, or
forgets the gratitude due his constitu.
ents. The San Francisco Bulletin al
luding to the Eastern press structures
upon our State, incidentally refers to
Senator Jones in the following just and
truthful style:
II she be small in population. she has In
| her short career contributed more ability to
the senate than New York. with an exception
new and then. since the time Of William II.
| seward.
When his distinguished talents are
thus appreciated by the above journal
it comes in very poor taste from few
contemplate pigmies to make tkeir
periodical and Intellectual attempts to
| decry him. l am sure that when the
silver war shall rage the most 6ercely
Senator Jones' voice will be heard amid
the din and roar OF the battle in the
United States Senate with an effect in
favor of the silver mining industry.
